Sole-Mate

Hey everyone--

(So disclaimer, I know I said this post would be up yesterday but I overestimate what I can accomplish in a day. Sorry friends!)

Fred joined me for this shoot and we had such a good time taking these together! We are really lovin' our BEARPAW shoes!

My shoe is the women's 'Magnolia' style in brown textured woven. I'm amazed by how comfy all of my BEARPAW shoes have been. Most heels, even wedges tend to hurt my feet after awhile but I've been impressed. My favorite thing about these are their textured print, soo cute. 

Fred is wearing the men's 'Sean' style in dark brown. Fred liked that they fold down in the back so that they can become a slip-on style. The are so versatile! They're comfy and they look great on.  

& Fred made them look really great. :D :D :D

Have a sweet day!

Cotton Candy Stand

Hey everyone--

For this post, I've collaborated with Dresslink, an online fashion retailer! They have a great selection of two of my favorite trends for summer:

1. Matching Two-Piece Sets

& 2. Retro Frames 

(I seriously love these sunglasses, they're so fun! :D :D :D And what a great shade of pink!)

Snag them for yourself on their site, everything is sooo affordable! Now, they're located outside of the US, but the shipping time was not bad at all, I was really happy with it! .. Took about 3 weeks to arrive!

Also, these are my favorite earrings everrr. I've been waiting to show them off on the blog for awhile now. They look and feel like real cotton candy. They're fuzzy and tiny and so realistic looking. I love 'em!

Have a sweet day!

Bomb Pops

Laughter is the fireworks of the soul!
Hey everyone--
Okay, so this dress is pretty much my favorite. It completely takes me back to my childhood summer days spent waiting for the ice-cream truck to swing by my Grandpa's house. I love it so much! <3 center="">

I'm so happy in my pink skirt.

I'm so excited to announce that I'm now a brand ambassador for BEARPAW now! The wedges that I'm wearing in this post are my first pair of BEARPAW shoes! These are the Calla wedges in White. I love the staps on these, they are so fun and playful and the wedge gives me a boost but they are super comfy shoes! I can run and spin around in them and they don't hurt my feet. They're also a very versatile style! They can be be more casual or fancy depending on how you choose to style them!

Those Black Flowers

Hey guys--

Sooooo it's been forever! I hate that I had to take such a long blogging break, but I am planning on getting everything back up and running! & I have a lot of new projects coming with the new year! I'm very very excited! 

So here is a Debs post getting up very late. This black floral kimono has by far been my most favorite kimono! I also love this black slip dress because it is worn well in any season. I accessorized with  black booties and a large camel satchel. This bag is super great too, because it can actually hold everything I need!

Teen Vogue & Olay Fresh Effects "Fresh To School" Girls Night In (The Ohio State University)

Hey everyone--

This past weekend I had the honor of hosting a campus event for +Teen Vogue and Olay Fresh Effects.  I had such a blast! It was so fun having a girls night in with my best friends celebrating both Teen Vogue and Fresh Effects. We painted our nails, played dress up and snacked on treats all night! 

I really wanted to celebrate the beginning of a new school year and the "Fresh To School" theme was absolutely perfect for a fresh new start! I have been using Olay Fresh Effects since I got a free sample of their powered contour cleansing system at Teen Vogue Fashion University this year. The facial cleansing brush makes my skin feel soft and exfoliated after use and I love the scent of the facial cleanser. For our girls night in, we all got to try out Fresh Effects products! My girls got to take home makeup removers, hydrating gels, eye brighteners and three lucky ladies got to take home acne scrubs, exfoliating scrubs, BB creams and Olay beauty bags! I want to extend a huge thank you to Olay for providing us with so many great products! I have used the eye brightener every morning since the party! The brightener is my all-time favorite out of the new items that I have tried. Often, I don't get enough sleep and I wake up with puffy eyes and dark circles. About a minute after I glide the roller over my dark circles, the darkness is dramatically reduced. The puffiness is calmed and the purple color disappears. I won't go without it now!

I had two snack bars, a popcorn bar and a caramel apple bar. I thought both were fun back-to-school treats. For the popcorn bar, there was cheesy, butter and caramel popcorn flavors & reese's pieces, chocolate chips and peanuts to mix in! For the caramel apple bar, I had oreo, m&m's, mixed nuts, pretzels, sprinkles and marshmallow topping options. There were also a few fall appetizers, pigs in a blanket, salty caramel cookies and crackers with goat cheese, pecans and cranberry. My favorite treat of all was the pumpkin pie mocktail. They tasted so sweet and pumpkin-y .. yum!

We had so much fun playing around with the photo booth! I felt like a little girl at a slumber party watching all of my friends run around with feather boas and eye patches on. Everyone needs some silly fun! And we really wanted to show off our love for Teen Vogue and Olay! 

& I have pretty fashionable friends it was fun to show the off too! 

At the end of the night, the party was winding down and all of us girls lounged around, had girl talk and browsed our Teen Vogue magazines. Kendall Jenner killed it as a Teen Vogue cover star. The September issue had two different cover looks with her on it. If you haven't seen them, she looks crazy gorgeous in both. I have to say the cover with the hat is definitely my favorite.

Happy back to school!

 WE love you Teen Vogue & Olay Fresh Effects! Thank you for everything!
