Go-To Smell Goods Review

One of the best parts about being a girl is the ability to smell good at any time and not be judged for it. Now you may be thinking "why would anyone judge someone for smelling good?", but think about it. If a girl leaves the gym smelling like vanilla lotion, no one bats an eye. Of course, there is always the flip side that people now EXPECT women to smell like daisies 100% of the time, but that's a completely different topic...


Essentially, I just wanted to share my favorite scents at the moment. My favorite lotion is "Be Enchanted" from Bath and Body Works. I have this in mini-lotion bottles, but also the big body cream tube which is just heavenly. It's so smooth and creamy, and enchanting is quite an appropriate word to describe it.

The second two are traditional perfumes. One is "Princess" by Vera Wang, the second in "Viva La Juicy" by Juicy Couture. Both are relatively sweet scents, which I generally tend to gravitate toward. I would say that Princess is a lighter, sweet scent, and Viva La Juicy is a slightly heavier, darker sweet smell. Did that make sense to anyone? No? Alright, then I've just eliminated "perfume reviewer" from my list of possible careers. If you have the chance to get a whiff of these for yourself, though, I would recommend checking them out. They've quickly become my go-to's, plus who can resist a heart shaped bottle with a princess crown on top? Definitely not this girl.

Fairytale Friday: Sleeping Beauty

Long time no see! It's hard to believe it's already been more than 4 weeks since I last posted a Fairytale Friday, but with my summer classes starting, going on vacation, and working, and so many other pretty big changes, it just seemed to slip right through the cracks! Thankfully I'm better prepared now, and hopefully there won't be another one of these horrible lapses! But enough apologies, now on to the good stuff.


Top- allsaints | Skirt- allsaints | Collar- Etsy | Bag- Kate Spade | Shoes- Zara | Lipgloss- Nars | Bracelet- Macy's | Earrings- Dorothy Perkins 

Dress- Valentino | Shoes- Tory Burch | Bag- Zara | Earrings- Miss Selfridge | 
Necklace- Forever 21 | Ring- Guess

I've been absolutely adoring the way that maxi dresses/skirts look on everyone else lately. Unfortunately, I still have yet to find one that is long enough for my ridiculous height. I'll just have to figure out how to add about 6 sizes to the runway versions so they're made for taller people..haha

I know that it's Saturday when this has been posted, but I've just been so off with everything that I figured it wasn't worth it to wait another 6 days and possibly have something else come up. I think that from now on I'll just post these "Fairytale Friday" posts somewhere between Thursday-Saturday so that it's just less stressful on me if I should forget. Hopefully everyone is ok with that considering it's going to be that way regardless :p Have a great first official weekend of summer!

Fairytale Friday: The Little Mermaid

Sorry for the late post, guys, but hey, at least it's on the correct day, right? This week's post intimidated me quite a bit. I babysit for a girl who thinks that Ariel walks on water (haha, see what I did there?) and  for some reason it was already difficult to put things together this week. Please be sure to let me know what you thought!
The two photos I worked from for inspiration.

I absolutely loved the little fork bracelet. How perfect is it, right?!


This was definitely the hardest of all the princess looks I've done so far. I'm not sure why, but Ariel's human self just completely stumped me. Hopefully I'm not too far off...

Fairytale Friday: Cinderella

(So sorry everyone! This was scheduled to post on Friday morning since I went out of town, but for some reason it didn't. I should look into that...in the meantime, enjoy this belated post.)

For this weeks Fairytale Friday post, I've made two looks specifically based off of Cinderella's two looks in her movie: her working outfit (below) and her princess ball gown. I'm so happy that clear shoes have really started to make an appearance this season because it fits PERFECTLY with Cinderella's gown inspiration! 

Inspirations:




Shirt- JCrew | Shorts- MatchesFashion | Shoes- Kate Spade | Earrings- Marc Jacobs | Lipstick- YSL "Rouge Pur Couture" 

Somehow Cinderella got real preppy real fast, haha. It just sort of flowed and I didn't bother fighting it. Plus, I'm not sure if it's the summer vibes or if I've been watching too much sarahbelle93x on Youtube, but I've been lusting after some crazy preppy items lately (ie JCrew). This is also the most designer heavy look I've EVER put together. So please don't come at me with your torches and pitchforks for creating a thousand dollar outfit.

I added a hint of sparkle on the collar of the shirt and in the jewelry as a preview of what was to come...

It's just...beautiful. That's all I really have to say. I love it so much. The pattern on the dress is reminiscent of the sparkles and glitter and magic of her transformation and then the jewels just add to the absolute glamour. I just wish I owned all of this so I could wear it every day.

Ok maybe not since that would be weird. But you get my drift.

Fairytale Friday: Snow White

One of my friends is in DisneyWorld right now and I could not be more jealous. I went last summer for the first time and it only solidified my desire to be a Disney princess even further. Since I'm stuck in the Midwest for now, however, I thought I might spread a little Disney magic on Fridays from now on by creating outfits that resemble the different princesses! Since she is the very first, it seemed only appropriate to start with the classic Snow White.


Shirt- Modcloth | Cardigan- Madewell | Bracelet- Farfetch | Shorts- River Island | Boots- Newlook | Necklace- Kate Spade | Earrings- Forzieri | Bag- Nica


Top- Stella McCartney | Skirt- River Island | Shoes- Moschino | Clutch- Acne Studio | Sunglasses- Acne Studio | Bracelet- Stella & Dot

I had WAY too much fun with this to just stop at one. They both have different vibes to them, as well, so it's not like I wasted my time ;) So let me know, which is your favorite? Who should I use for inspiration next week!
