My Favorite Youtube Beauty Gurus! ♡

Hi everyone! Many of you have heard me talk about Youtube Beauty Gurus before. In case you don't know who they are, they are girls who make videos with helpful beauty and fashion advice and post it on Youtube. It's kind of like my blog, but through video. I decided I would talk to you about my favorites incase your looking for a place to get some more great advice & tips; so here they are! 

Okay, so this post was a lot harder for me than I thought it would be because I love watching all the beauty gurus and it's so hard to pick favorites, but here are my top 5. 

#5: Nikki Phillipi-

Nikki is one of those girls who is always smiling no matter what. Her cheerful and bubbly personality make all her videos so fun and her videos always put me in a good mood. She often vlogs with her husband, Dan and the two of them together are a great pair to watch as well. Watch Nikki at: www.youtube.com/nikkiphillipi

#4: Bethany Mota-

Bethany has such a playful and silly personality that makes you feel like she's your best friend. She has a huge fan following and her videos are so creative. I especially love her amazing DIYs! Watch Bethany at: www.youtube.com/macbarbie07 

#3: Meredith Foster-

When I watch Meredith's videos, I literally cannot stop myself from laughing. She adds such a fun and youthful feel to her videos and her personality is outgoing and funny. She's not afraid to be herself and that's why I love watching her so much. Watch Meredith at: www.youtube.com/stilababe09 

#2: Elle Fowler-

Elle was actually the first person I started watching on Youtube until I found this whole other internet world.She has amazing beauty and makeup advice and she keeps her videos very sweet, but professional. I love watching her reccomendations for new products. Watch Elle at: www.youtube.com/allthatglitters21

#1: Ingrid Nilsen-

And my favorite Youtube beauty guru is (drum roll..) Ingrid Nilsen! I am obsessed with Ingrid's videos. She seems like such a sweet girl and all her videos are very high quality and you can tell she puts a lot of time into them. She has some of the best beauty, hair and fashion tips out there and I've learned so much of what I know from her. Watch Ingrid at: www.youtube.com/missglamorazzi

Let me know in the comments if you watch beauty videos on Youtube and who your favorite gurus are. Unfortunately, I'm home sick again today, but that gave me time to write another post! Talk to you all soon, bye! xx

Fashion Finds: Brandy Melville!

Hello lovelies! I know I haven't been around for a while, but I have been super, super busy and just haven't had time to sit down and write a post, but since I am home sick today, I figured there's no better time to sit down and write again. If some of you remember, I started this series where I introduce some of you to new stores I love, so I'm going to do that today and tell you about another amazing store; Brandy Melville!

The best part about Brandy Melville? Their incredible prices! They have so many great pieces for such an affordable cost! This skirt? $22! That's Forever 21 prices! But their pieces are even better made and they have such classic and edgy pieces. (Heather Skirt, $22.)

These tanks are another one of my favorite things at Brandy Melville. They have so many designs and styles to choose from and they're all so edgy and cute. You can choose to dress them up or down and they're simply must have pieces! My favorite styles are the Kate and Sadie. (Sadie Moon Tank, $20.)

Brandy Melville's sweater & knits are also amazing! Now I know a ton of people have this sweater shown, but this is one of my favorites! It's over sized and comfy and you can wear it with anything. In the fall, pair it with leggings and combat boots. And in the spring, pair it with a crop top and skirt. It's so versatile and is very well made. (Caroline Knit, $52.)

Pros: For well made edgy pieces that will last you forever, Brandy Melville is the way to go!

Cons: Brandy Melville only has stores in select cities, so if you don't live near any, it's kind of a bummer. (I have that problem!) However, they do have a great online store (which is what I use!) at www.brandymelivilleusa.com 

I hope you all enjoyed this post and learned something about one of my favorite stores, Brandy Melville! Have a great week, bye! xx

Spring Trend Alert: Red, White & Blue! ★

Hi everyone! I'm aware that not all of you live in the United States, but a major spring trend is red, white and blue! (And of COURSE it's okay to rock the american flag even if you don't live here) So get ready for some stars and stripes in honor of the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Outfit #1- This out fit is very simple, but the bright shorts give it a pop! I started with this simple sheer blouse and paired it with this amazing pair of shorts. To not draw much attention from the shorts I added solid black fringe sandals and a simple stud bracelet from Bauble Bar.

Outfit #2- This outfit screams edgy to me. I started with this cropped tank and I love it because it's so laid back and you still get your stars and striped feel. I then paired it with these incredible pair of shorts! (Studs is another spring trend!) To finish it, I added a classic pair of red Converse and a gold stud bracelet.

(Tank- Forever 21. Shorts- Etsy. Shoes- Converse. Bracelet- stefanibags.com)

Outfit #3- I have to say this is my favorite look. It's so classic and cool and I love the 80's shirt. I started with this really cool slouchy graphic tee and I paired it with light wash ripped jeans. To add your americana feel, I added this American flag printed bag which compliments the red on the tee. And I finished the look with, yes again, a classic pair of converse.

March Favorites! ♡

Hi everyone! SO sorry I haven't written a post in a while! I was on vacation all last week and when I tried to write a post on my iPad, it just wouldn't work. Since I haven't written a Weekly Loves post in a really long time, I decided I would round up the month of March in one post and show you everything I've been loving!

1-Revlon Lipbutter "Strawberry Shortcake": I just recently tried the lip butters for the first time and I love them! A ton of people talk about them, but I didn't think they'd be work the hype and they are! They're super pigmented and moisturizing and not drying like many lipsticks. These are a new must have!

2-Remember the Titans: I just saw this movie for the first time and it is amazing! It came out quite a few years ago, but I finally saw it and I love it! It takes place in the 1970's and deals with discrimination and racial issues, but also focuses on team work. This movie is great and you must check it out if you haven't already! 

3. NYX trio in TS19: I found these on sale at Ulta and they're incredible! I hadn't heard much talk about these, but they're really pigmented and creamy. The colors are all nice and I would definitely buy more of these, but I heard NYX is discontinuing them. That's a shame because these are really wonderful eye shadows. 

4- Ed Sheeran "Plus" album: You have heard me talk about him before, but I'm talking about him again because his album is amazing. I love his voice and his music has a very unique feel. My favorite song from his album would have to be "A-team" and I am fortunate enough that in a few months I'll see him Live while he opens for Taylor Swift's RED tour! 

5- Taylor Swift "Wonderstruck" Lotion: And here we are again talking about Taylor Swift. I found this on sale at TJ Maxx and I decided to buy it because I already have her perfume and I love it so I thought, Why not just slather the rest of my body in this yumminess? Sooo, I bought it. And I love it. 

I hope you enjoyed this round up of March and have a great rest of your Sunday. I'm happy to be back and writing posts regularly so stay tuned! Bye! xx
