Magazine inspiration

Its just my luck that I came down with a cold today so todays post is going to be simple but I really like the idea I came up with.  So on my trip I had time to read the newest edition of Instyle while on the plane. I found a lot of great inspiration and trends for the upcoming spring season. So I decided to take some pictures of things in the magazine that really inspired me, so I thought I would share. Enjoy!

                                                                         

The cover

Trends: 

The color mint is in this season, and I love this color!  

 Color combs for mint 

Pastel colors are a major trend! 

 Is it just be or do these colors remind you of Easter? 

                           I love this dress by Jessica Simpson that goes with the pastel trend

This gave me a great idea for a outfit. 

Must buy and try: 

                               

I love charcoal skin care products 
and these are affordable
(charcoal products)

I have always wanted to try a sheet mask (sheet mask)                                      

 Great travel palette for a great price (Lorac Palette)

Would be great for bronzer (brush)

I don't think its out yet (video sneak peak)

(nail polish)

"Dreaming": 

                             I love this ring for a VARYYYYY far of engagement its just to pretty.

On that note tonight is going to consist of watching the Bachelor and getting over my cold. Hope you feel better then I do and stay chic!

PS: tell me if you want me to do more of these types of post!

Update of what's to come

So I am now home from vacation and unpacked. It is kind sad to be back to cold weather, school and the usual boring life stuff. But hey we are close to spring right?! I thought I would do an update of what's upcoming on my blog and just fill you in...

* So my Schedule is going to be back to a Monday,Wednesday, Friday and Sunday post! The first month I was not that great with this but I am going to try to stick with this routine.

* I am still going to do fashion and baking but I am going to to be doing some beauty and life style stuff as well!

* I filmed a video while on vacation which should be up this week. With that said I am going to try to do more videos on my blog because I really like doing them and some times I think its better than just a few pictures.

* I really enjoyed doing "snapshots of what I did each day" so I think I might do more of these. I am not sure if I am going to do this every week or just when I have fun things going on, but I will keep you posted with what I decide.

* I am going to do a few blogs to get to know me more.

I wanted to keep this short but that is just a few things I wanted to fill you in on. I would love it if you told me what you think. Also give me any suggestions on what you would like to see me post! 

Have a great day

Today I slept in, made breakfast and then just hung out. Later in the after noon we went to an outlet mall and I bought one t-shirt. I have been buying quite a bit but I could not pass up this t-shirt. The Gap outlet had 50% off the whole store. Plus it was a little bit different then the usually t-shirt. I love the tie and pocket I think its a great addition to a regular t-shrit.      

Its mint and navy striped (color doesn't show that well)  

After doing a little shopping we came back and made dinner. I made these amazing glazed carrots for our dinner for the first time. They tasted so good so here is the recipe (recipe for carrots)! Me and my sister also made chocolate covered strawberries which tasted so good. We finished the day up with a swim in the pool later at night! Right now I am watching the Bachelor with my sis before going to bed for an early start tommrow.

Vacation day 2

Every time I go on vacation it makes me want to live some where warm. Me and my sister have always had this dream of living together in South Carolina some day. When ever I go some where warm I always get this urge to want to move right away! Considering we are both still in school it will not happen right away though I really hope one day we will be able to move some where warm. To me there is something with the warm weather that makes life so much more enjoyable. We have always wanted to live in South Carolina because the winters are not too cold and the summers are not to hot for us! To me if seems like a perfect place. Not to mention my family goes there every year and when we go it just feels like home to me. I know that sounds weard but its true! Who knows were life may take me but it is defently a dream I have. I encourage you to take the plunge and live where it makes you the most happy. I mean if there is nothing stoping you why not? It might be challenging  to move some where you have never lived I get  it but it could be worth it. There is this quote that says "If your dreams don't scare you, then they aren't big enough". So what ever your dreams might be that you are nervous about I say just do them, what do you have to lose.
