Obsessed

I'm absolutely obsessed with BeautyFix.com. Where else can you get your choice of eight amazing products including all three steps of the Kinerase Photofacial set ($100 at Nordstroms), 


LaRocca C-Gold Reparative Primer ($90 at Spas), 


Glytone Exfoliating Body Wash ($24-$35 at Dermatologist offices), 


Chella Enzyme Exfoliating Crema Mask ($60 at Spas), 


3LAB Perfect Cleansing Foam ($50 at Nordstroms), 


among other seriously high quality products, for only $19.99 (with promotional code: BFBLOG)? No freaking where, that's where! This has to be my best product find, ever!

Inspired by Chanel, 


the Parisian Dream Earrings by JewelMint might be the best thirty-dollars I've spent for all things Spring thus far. 


Aren't they just gorgeous in an oversized-jelly-bean, it-girl, I-die sort of way? 

I'm way late jumping on the Stephanie Plum train, but I read One for the Money last week and it was such a fun and easy read (if a little dated) that I've already added Two for the Dough to my Kindle. 


I can't say I honestly want to see the movie released last Friday, but I do plan on buying a few of the mystery fans in my life the first boxed set. Got to share the love y'all!

Dupes: Color-Blocked, Tummy Tucked, and Pushed Up

Champagne tastes on a Budweiser budget? Maybe you're just trying to cut back on your expenses without giving up on style? Here are some of my favorite dupes of the moment!

Color-Blocked

Who isn't obsessed with Kate Spade's Tabitha flat?


Unfortunately, I'm not so obsessed with its $225 price tag. Eeek.


Thank goodness Old Navy decided to make a similar cap-toe flat for about twenty-dollars and save me from my-can't-control-my-spending-self!

Tummy Tucked

Rodial's  magical Tummy Tuck has been featured in every magazine from here to England (and beyond) for what feels like eons. 


At two-hundred dollars a bottle, it wouldn't matter how magical it is, it wouldn't be happening. Luckily for me (and maybe y'all), the founder of Rodial, Ms. Maria Hatzistefanis, started a secondary line for us mere mortals. 


Nip+Fab's Tummy Fix is less than twenty-dollars and I can attest that it's great for tightening the skin for those already losing weight. I can't say anything about it whittling inches off when it's not used in conjunction with diet or exercising. It also works pretty darn great on stretch marks. Over all, a wonderful win-win.

Pushed Up 

Y'all know my distaste for all bras from Victoria's Secret. Yet, the Miraculous Push Up Bra is pretty impressive. Adding two cup sizes = impressive in my book.


Fifty-dollars for a bra that won't last longer than a month or two = not so impressive.


For only seventeen dollars, the Two Times Sexy Push Up Demi Bra by Self Expressions gives you the same umph without breaking the bank. 

What are some of y'alls favorite dupes?

Honey Basset


Not only am I unhappy with my weight right now, but I’m also worried about my health. The solution, eating healthier, cutting out sugar, and…


Zumba! I even got the at home set so I have no excuses for not working up a sweat on a regular basis. Take that icky feeling!

***Yes, I am aware I’m uber late jumping on the Zumba wagon! No judgment y’all! I just want to feel good about my body and in my own skin again. I welcome any advice from y’all.

For all you Honey Badger fans (if you haven't seen the video, it does have strong language),


I’d like to introduce y’all to Honey Basset.


That’s right, she just don’t care. We’re pretty ridiculous around here.

I hope y’all have a great start to the week!

Kickin' It Old School

Cue the 311 y'all, we're kicking it high school style! I honestly haven't shopped in a mall in quite awhile; for whatever reason, their allure left with my teens. I was shocked though, to find so many cute cardigans, perfect plaids, and adorable accessories from some of the food court's more impressive neighbors. The best part is that the current sales are also online and everything I'm featuring is under twenty-dollars!

Bright Whites

From $14.95 to $19.95 at Hollister Co. and Abercrombie & Fitch

 I love how feminine theses pieces are, but I'm in lust with the bad girl feeling I get when I brush away the antiquated "rules" of fashion and wear them in January! This might not work so well if you don't have the occasional sixty-degree day!

Pretty Plaids

From $7.95 to $9.95 at Hollister Co. and Abercrombie & Fitch

I just found the perfect pair of vintage Frye cowboy boots and I just had to grab a few new plaid shirts to pair with them. Make the look a little more collegiate by pairing them with a cardigan (then rolling up both sets of sleeves) and a pair of skinny jeans. Smart, sassy, and Southern!

Happy Shoppin' Y'all!
