Neiman Marcus Spring/Summer 2016 Trends

Last Wednesday several San Diego based bloggers and stylists got together at Neiman Marcus in Fashion Valley to see the upcoming trends for spring and summer. We were served a delicious meal and got to see some incredible pieces on the models. As someone with more of a tomboy style, I got super happy to see blazers and bomber jackets get some attention. Apart from seeing all the upcoming trends for women, we also got to see a few for men which was new for me since I honestly don't know much about male oriented trends. I tried my best to capture the looks both in picture and video, so I hope you enjoy my fashion recap.

Best Planner for Bloggers and Vloggers

One of my goals for 2016 was to become more organized since I do have a lot of my plate in my online world. I currently have and run three YouTube channels, a bilingual beauty blog, and four Instagram accounts. On top of that, I do have other social media outlets to worry about and of course my private life. Last year I found myself a bit overwhelmed with balancing my personal and blog life at times, so I made it a goal to learn how to organize my life better in the new year. I've been an avid planner user since my days in elementary school, so I've tried numerous planner throughout my life. Although I was more than content with my cheap planners, I decided to give a more expensive planner a shot in 2016. The planner that I ended up picking up is the Family/ME Planner by a local company called Plum Paper Designs.

Outfit of the Day | The Midi Skirt

It's not often when a skirt catches my eye since I'm hardcore jeans and t-shirt girl, but when I saw this midi skirt from Target I knew I needed it in my life. I had been looking for the perfect midi skirt for a while now, but most skirts in general feel too short for me. I'm definitely not into showing skin, so that's why midi skirts appealed to me. This skirt not only fits like a dream, but I was able to envision a few ways to style it once I tried it out in store which is something I always have to do now that my closet is considerably smaller. I was definitely missing a more feminine pieces like this one in my capsule wardrobe but now I've filled my skirt void with this affordable gem.

Birchbox February 2016

It's time to open another Birchbox! In the month of February I found myself torn between the special curated box and their regular box. I ultimately ended up going with the regular box since one of the samples was a full-sized Color Enhancing Lip Balm by Birchbox's newest in-house brand, ARROW. The products from ARROW are designed for the woman on-the-go, so that means the products are versatile and very minimal. Look at me getting excited over a balm! Apart from the balm I still love the surprise element in monthly boxes, so that's why I went ahead and got this box. Now let's open it so you can check out what I got!

Nails of the Day | She Better Werk

Social media stars are ruling the beauty world! In 2016 Sephora unveiled the Formula X #ColorCurators collaborations which will feature three limited edition nail polish shades curated by a popular content creator. As someone who participates in the world of beauty blogging, it makes me so happy to see someone like Sephora reaching out to bloggers and vloggers for a nationwide campaign. And when I first heard that my spirit animal PatrickStarrr was chosen as February's curator, I couldn't help but to say "YAAAAAZ" out loud. Patrick is the incredibly talented and fearless beauty vlogger who taught me about the power of baking your face and having a nice bold pout. Knowing Patrick I knew that he was going to deliver three bright colors with fun names, and he definitely brought his signature sass to Sephora.
