arm candy

since i was in high school i have been known for wearing a lot, sometimes too much, arm candy. i carried my favorite pieces with me through college and was constantly telling my friends the more the merrier, right alison? so take a look at some of my favorite combinations below thanks to some of my own favorites, the manrepeller, allie hendee, and pintrest. i love to mix classic/ fine jewelry with fun pieces, do not feel like you have to keep nice jewelry with nice jewelry, silver with silver, gold with gold, and fun with fun, mix it all up and create your own masterpiece... you really can't go wrong! 

MAKE IT A FLAWLESS SUMMER

you ask and you shall receive, my favorite summer products that can stand the heat. notice that the product list is minimal, that is because more is less in the summer. there is no need to cake on the makeup when you already have a natural summer glow. air dried hair with some under eye cover, shimmer powder, mascara, and the perfect fragrance is an unstoppable look and feel. give it go, i promise you will love the ease and the results. while they are not all steals I feel that they are worth the splurge.... lets start from the beginning.

while i have been a fan of moroccan
 oil serum for about three years, i was very
hesitant to spend the money on the
 shampoo and conditioner... well i finally
caved, and its WORTH IT, trust me. It
cuts frizz and improves shine, all while
keeping your hair healthy and smelling
amazingly good until your next wash. if
you are afraid of the splurge as well, go for
just the conditioner and use it every couple of
washes, soon you will be convinced.

love the smell, the price, the feel,
and the fact that it helps to prolong
my tan, or at least what I have.

i have tried multiple tinted moisturizers
 in my day, and this is by far my favorite.
 it actually moisturizes unlike several others
that i have tried. i also really enjoy the
fact that it has spf 20 in it, seeing that
 everyone needs everyday sun protection

if i could only have one thing in my make
up bag, it would be erase paste. it is perfect for
under your eyes and covering up anything
and everything- honestly
buy me

one of my college roommates introduced me
to laura mercier sun dust and i have been a
fan ever since. dust across your face for an all
over summer glow, or swipe across your
collar bones for an accent of shine. this powder
can also double as a body bronzer, but be careful
if you use to much you will be a ball of
glitter, which confuses boys and ruins your
clothes. have fun with this, its a multipurpose
addition. - you can find this at sephora.

although i would not recommend
 waterproof mascara for everyday use,
 there are exceptions; summer is one of
them. i love lash blast waterproof
because of the rubber brush that helps
 to lift and separate all lashes.  

last but not least, a little secret of mine,
hermes men's cologne. i know that it might
sound strange, but fragrances smell different
 on  different people, and this one really pops on
girls.so i challenge you all to find a summer scent.
