Spotlight on: Elizabeth & James Jewelry
Labels:

I tend to dismiss brands like Elizabeth & James that are celebrity designed because usually, well, they aren't great. But I do have to hand it to the Olsen twins for doing so well with Elizabeth & James. The clothes are consistently adorable, but what I really love are the accessories, especially the jewelry. It manages to blend quirky, natural, and glam details perfectly for an overall aesthetic that works with a bunch of different styles and outfits.
Crab Ring with Ruby Eyes, $125 at shopbop.com, Turquoise Howlite Ring, $85 at shopbop.com: How cute is this crab ring?! I'm a Cancer, so I love me anything with a crab on it. It has tiny ruby eyes! It's so sassy. The claws curve around the finger so perfectly, and the offbeat shape really works the simplicity of the overall design. I want to wear this with really girly outfits for a fun contrast. If jewelry isn't really your thing and you just like very simple pieces, this cabochon ring is great. The blue is fun but not too bright, so you can wear it with a lot of different color palettes, and the band has a sweetly organic feel that makes it a little offbeat.
Silver Bypass Ring, $125 at shopbop.com, Wishbone Mesh Earrings, $195 at shopbop.com: These pieces are such great value for the money. This silver ring has silver (obvi), gold, and tiny sapphires, and it's less than $150. I like that the band and the materials used are very classic, but the detail on top is unexpected and almost a little primal feeling. I'd do it with a really girly, lace top and jeans. I love me some chandelier earrings, and these have such a fun twist. They're made up of tiny wishbones, so they're lucky! The hammered, rustic shape plays nicely against the inherent drama of the oversized earrings.
Large Seashell Ring, $175 at shopbop.com, Enamel Coral Earrings, $95 at shopbop.com: The ocean may terrify me (sharks! sharks! stingrays!) but I love ocean motifs in jewelry. A seashell is such a perfect choice for a ring because it's very symmetrical and pretty, but the dots and the distressing give it a bit of a fun edge that makes it a unique, but wearable accent piece. I. Love. Coral. These earrings are SO COOL. The shiny black works really nicely with the organic forms of the coral, and these are just the right size--big enough to be a statement but not so large as to be ridiculous. I'd do these with an updo and a little red dress.
I hope y'all had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Review: MAC Harmony Blush
I have been looking for a good contour product FOREVER. I do have cheekbones, but I also have a roundish face and they tend to get lost in my cheeks, so I am a perfect candidate for contouring. For those of you that don't know, contouring is when you use a product in a shade that's a few shades deeper than your actual skin tone to create shadows on your face, usually under the jaw and cheekbones, along the temples and down the sides of the nose. You want a matte, neutral shade because shimmer draws light to the part of the face you put it on, which makes that part of your face appear to protrude more--hence why using a shimmery product on the top of your cheekbones can make them seem more obvious.
The problem I've had is that I'm really pale, and most contour powders pull orange on me--heck, most foundation pulls orange on me. Which makes me look like a clown. Boo. Pixi2woo, my favorite YouTube beauty blogger, uses MAC's powder blush in Harmony to contour all the time, and since she's pale(ish) like me, I had to try it.
I could not get a good picture of this. It kept coming out darker and pinker than it actually is. This picture is pretty true to life. MAC describes it as a muted rose-beige brown matte blush, which you can get for $19.50 at maccosmetics.com. On me it comes out as a medium, neutral-warm brown, and it's the perfect contouring color. It's extremely pigmented, but also blends easily, so you can layer for the effect you want (and to get it to work on darker skin tones). On my oily skin it lasts all day and I only have to use a tiny bit, so this tin will last me forever.
I apply it with a skunk brush in the 3-shape on my face (under the jaw, around the side of the face to under the cheekbone, and around the temple to the sides of the forehead) and it gives my face a nice amount of structure and depth.
The packaging is standard MAC, decent quality and simple, and the product has no scent or SPF, so I don't think it'll irritate anyone's skin. You could probably use it as a bronzer if you're as pale as me, so it can go double duty.
Overall rating: A+. It works perfectly as a contour without pulling orange on me, it lasts all day and applies easily, and I think it will work for range of skin types and skin tones. It's not cheap, but it will last forever, so it's a good deal.

Outfit of the Day (In My Head)

It's finally warm in SoCal! Woohoo. I've pretty much been a bum in my house these past few days (made a strawberry-rhubarb crumble today!), but if I had gotten out of the house today I would have worn something like this:
Spotted Around Town Dress, $67.99 at modcloth.com, J. Crew Patent-Tab Skinny Belt, $32.50 at jcrew.com: Yup. Still in the middle of my retro fix. I think what I really like about '50s style sundresses like this one are that they have a lot of personality. You don't need to add a lot to them to get a great, unique outfit because they have inherent sass. The cut of this dress is very flattering, with emphasized waist, fitted bodice, and a-line skirt, and I love the little polka dots. They're a high-impact pattern, but since it's black and white it's still pretty versatile. I'd pair this ultra-girly dress with a down-to-earth, masculine brown leather belt. It adds a little twist and a little visual weight to the look.
Me Too "Princess" Espadrille Slingback, $58.90 at nordstrom.com, J. Crew Jenna's Cardigan, $70 at jcrew.com: With a dress like this one you have to wear a cute little wedge. The naturalness of the jute straw gives the outfit an earthy twist, and the pop of red works really nicely with the monochromatic palette of the dress. The bow-slingback combo is just so sweetly retro, too, and perfect for summer. I'd top it all off with this plum cardigan. It's a close enough shade to the shoes that they don't fight, but it's not so close that the outfit becomes matchy-matchy. The cut of the cardigan is perfect, with the sweet 3/4 sleeves and the cropped body--doing a long cardigan with an a-line skirt can make you look wider and swallow your waist.
Sometime this week I'll have a review of MAC's Harmony blush, which I use for a contour, so stay tuned for that!

Bath and Body Works Apricot Vanilla
I really need to stop shopping. BUT IT'S SO HARD. I'm like a hoarder for pretty things. Gah. Here's some of the stuff I've gotten/wanted recently.
Apricot Vanilla Tasty Lip Gloss, $7 at bathandbodyworks.com, Apricot Vanilla Body Lotion, $5.25 at bathandbodyworks.com: I am not a Bath and Body Works girl. So much of their stuff smells so strong and sweet to me that it gives me a migraine and I just don't bother even going in/near the store. But my mom needed something there the other day, so I was browsing around when I stumbled across their Apricot Vanilla line. The simple, subdued packaging called to me, and the whole line was on sale for half off, so I picked up a lip gloss and a body cream (the lotion is pictured because the cream seems to have sold out online). In the store the lip gloss was $3.50, which is a great deal. It's a thick, somewhat sticky gloss that's sheer but has tons of shimmer. It doesn't add any color to the lips but it adds some sparkle without looking frosty, which I like. It smells and tastes like peaches and cream--so not apricots and vanilla, but it smells pretty darn good. Since it's sticky, it lasts on the lips for a long while--around 3 hours, and best of all it actually moisturizes! The body cream really does smell like vanilla and apricots, with the boozy sweetness of the vanilla and the creamy tang of the apricots. It was like $6 on sale for a large tube of the cream, which is a decent price, and the formula is great. It rubs in quickly and doesn't leave me feeling greasy, but it's thick and creamy and extremely moisturizing. My favorite part is that the scent lingers all day, but really close to the skin. So you can wear perfume on top of it and not overwhelm everyone within in a 10 foot radius. I have basically no loyalty to body lotions, but I would purchase this again for the yummy but inoffensive scent and moisturizing formula.
I'd give those 2 products an A+. The prices were great, they smelled amazing, and they both did what they claimed to do. If you like the sound of Apricot Vanilla, act now because I think it's being discontinued. It was part of a series of vanilla based scents--like cherry vanilla, coconut vanilla, etc--and I think they're being switched out for a series of coconut based scents.
Swingtown Sweetie Dress, $79.99 at modcloth.com: Y'all know I'm a sucker for Southern-style sundresses. It's actually becoming a bit of problem. I've been stalking Modcloth's New section for weeks now, and I'm in love with this little white dress. The black and white color combo is just graphic enough, but the ways that the black is used--in the lace, in a polka dot sash--are so sweet that the color combo still makes a charming statement and isn't too hard or minimalist. The deep v-neckline in the back and front add a little sass, and the tulle underskirt creates a flattering a-line shape and some old school charm. I want to wear this with a pair of red heels while sipping a giant glass of sweet tea.
