Want it Wednesday-Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters has long been a shopping staple for me because of their huge selection and great sales. I love their hip clothes that usually require at least some sort of guts to wear. I also have to give mad props to any store that lets their consumers rate the individual pieces of clothing-it's so helpful! I started this Want it Wednesday at Urban Outfitters and found so many pieces that I love that I decided to use only their clothing for this post!

Swimsuit Wish List
So today I am leaving for the beach!!! Therefore...the blog posts might be fewer this next week (or not...I will be taking a very tired toddler up to the beach house mid-day for naptime, so I will probably have plenty of extra time while he catches his Zzzzsss).
In honor of my beach trip, (and the fact that I only allowed myself to purchase one new bathing suit this season, due to my bathing suit buying craziness that ensued before my honeymoon last summer) here are some suits that I am lusting over...

Need some Nude
This post is for my BFF Lauren. She's not a shopper, in fact, when I remember back to our high school/rooming together in college days, I seem to feel like there was a lot of dragging her by the hair anytime I wanted to go to the mall. So when she comes to me with a 'hey yo, I really want to buy a nude-colored dress, where can I find one at?' I am gonna get on the ball.
I love the idea of a nude dress...they're classic and chic and they BEG for you to show off your brightly colored shoes and accessories. So...if you are also in the market for one, or are reading this post thinking, 'hey I could use one of those' then....here's my picks!
Asos-$51.72
Asos-$31.01
Walk In Closet Boutique-$50
J. Crew-$99.99 (But extra 40% off)
J. Crew-$49.99 (Extra 40% off)
Happy Shopping!!!

The Easily Dunn Braid
Here is me, rockin' THE braid. I got this hairstyle from Jamie, over at an amazing blog I follow called Easily Dunn.
To get this super-easy-cool summer hairstyle, check out Jamie's tutorial over at Easily Dunn RIGHT HERE YOU GUYS. I don't make it look as awesome as she does, but I tried. I have a feeling I am going to be rocking this look a lot next week at the beach!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

My new favorite eye makeup for evening!
So the other day I showed you my favorite daytime makeup look. HERE is a tutorial for how to do my new favorite eye makeup look-a bronze and gray smoky eye. I actually saw this makeup on the web on a celebrity...don't freak out when I tell you who it is...Kanye West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose! I know I know...not the best fashion icon. But her makeup on this occasion looked AMAZING, and I had to try it-just trust me.
Here are some pics of the finished product-and to check out how to achieve this look for yourself, check out my video!
I also wore this makeup during my blog post about Bliss here.
XOXO,

Why can't you love me?
Christa over at the blog Young and Restless has written a post about why we as women love to hate ourselves that you have to read. I kind of touched on this subject before in my post Burlesque, and it's a subject that is near and dear to my heart, because like most women-I am my own worst critic.
Christa has organized a link-up calling for everyone to share the things that they LOVE about themselves. I want to support her and join in on this. Sitting down and coming up with a few things that I love about me is so hard, and it makes me wonder-WHY? Why is it so hard for us as women to love and appreciate the same things in ourselves that we cherish and recognize in our friends, sisters, and mothers? As I've gotten older, I realize that it's more about habits. You have to consciously try to make it a habit to build yourself up rather than tear yourself down. We're getting older ladies-it's a fact of life. The only thing you can do is take a deep breath, look in the mirror, and focus on the good that you've got going on, instead of the same-old same-old things you don't like and can't change.
So, here goes-
I love my ability to forgive those who wrong me. God has blessed me with the ability to meet hurt and pain with love and understanding. I often can't really explain or understand how I can let some stuff go, I just know in my heart that I have, and am thankful for it.
I love my legs. They're long (since I'm tall) and I like that, but I also love how strong they feel. When I help my husband work on the house and lift something heavy using the strength in my largest muscles (thighs, baby!) sometimes I think...'I am a beast', and I feel pride.
I love my perseverance. Sometimes I need to be pushed-but I'm a survivor and I know it.
I love my lips. They're full and pretty, and I'm glad they're mine.
I love that I am chill. I am not really outgoing, but I like people and I am easy to get along with. I enjoy peace. I like good music. I'm just...chill.
I love that I have sacrificed for my child. I love that I nursed him for a year even though it was TOUGH being solely responsible for his nutrition and never being able to be away from him for more than 4 or 5 hours (and much less than that at the beginning).
It's not a long list right now, but it's a start. Share your own self-love below!!
