Appreciate Your...

PETS!

Always there when you need
them the most.
All you can do is
give them your heart,
and they'll give you theirs
right back.

Shoes for Tues.

Aren't these shoes marvelous? I am swooning over the ruffle detail and the suede finish. These towering sandals had me at hello. I can't help but to wonder what they would look like paired with an all black or white outfit for that extra pop of color. Tres chic? I think so.

--------------------------------------------------------

I simply LOVE brightly-hued makeup for summer. It echoes the vibrancy and rhythms of the season. Above are my top picks that I'd thow in my beach bag. What's better than rosy cheeks and aqua-rimmed eyes? I can't think of anything quite hotter. The Philosophy Beach Girl lip shines tastes and smells like the most delectible orange creamsicle. Perfect to ease into that summer warmth!
