I’ve talked about my love for cute but comfortable outfits. If I’m going to an event, or even to work, I want to be comfortable. Especially with the heat in Kentucky summers. Flowy pants are some of my favorite summer wardobe options. They can be cute and comfortable, and they can be really stylish. I love this simple black and white striped pair of pants. Vertical stripes add an appearance of length. As a 5’4″ girl, adding length can be a bonus. I’ll take all the help I can get. I…
I can’t believe it’s already July! That means it’s already time for a 2019 Project Pan update! And y’all, it’s a good one. Last year at this time, I was stressing. I had barely completed any of my panning goals. But this year, I have a TON of progress, and that makes me so happy! If you want to see my intro post, check it out here! Let’s start with the items I’ve panned or finished. I finished two primers completely: the NYX Hydra Touch primer…
Summer is here, and that means picnics and bonfires and cookouts. With the 4th being this week, plenty of cookouts are coming. If you’re looking for an easy recipe that’s absolutely delicious, check out this pasta salad! First, cook the pasta per the directions on the box and let it completely cool. I used tricolor rotini, but you can use any kind of pasta. Next, add Italian dressing and Ranch dressing, as well as a can of diced tomatoes. Next, cut Pepperoni into pieces. You can add as many or as few as you’d…
Memorial Day was last month, and I kept my outfit pretty casual. BUT, the 4th of July is next week, and I think a similar outfit would work really well. I also went with some themed makeup, and I wanted to share in case you were looking for some inspiration! I even included Remus in the festiveness (I’m always a little extra, in case you’re not aware). This shirt is so cute, and is so fitting for me. I will cancel (or not even make) plans to hang out with Remus. Look at him, can you…
I love being comfortable at work. Sometimes, business casual makes that difficult. I tend to lean toward the casual side. One of my favorite pieces to make a “casual” outfit more professional is a blazer. It takes things from cute and casual to business casual. This blazer is an item I picked up last year on the Nordstrom sale. I think a blazer is a great staple piece. They can be dressed up or down, and there are so many fun options out there. I’ll link a few black options at the bottom of this post…
I don’t always do my makeup at home. Sometimes my mornings are rushed, and I do part (or all) of my makeup on my breaks at work. I keep a makeup bag at my desk. If I need to just do a quick eye look, or a full makeup look, I’m prepared. You never know when someone will unexpectedly ask you to do something after work unexpectedly (I’ve literally bought concert tickets the DAY OF, and had to try to get ready). I’ve partnered with Begin Magic to show what’s…
Old Navy swing dresses have always been some of my favorites. I have them in long and short sleeves, in different colors. They’re perfect for work, but can also be pretty casual. BUT. I’ve found a dress that’s EVEN BETTER! As much as I love Old Navy swing dresses… I’m excited to share that Walmart now carries swing dresses. WITH POCKETS. That’s right ladies, these swing dresses have pockets. Isn’t that the dream, dresses with pockets? These dresses are also cheaper than Old Navy dresses! They’…
Single shadows are some of my favorite eyeshadows. I love having the ability to customize a palette, and build a collection customized to my own style. It’s a great way to try out a brand without spending a ton of money, or add just one color to your collection that you’ve been wanting to try. I’ll list some of my favorite companies that carry single shadows at the bottom of this post, as well as some companies I want to try. I’ve tried a few single shadows from some companies, and bundles…
When anyone asks for workout clothes recommendations, I ALWAYS suggest checking out Walmart. I LOVE their workout clothes. They’re comfortable, they’re cute but simple, and best of all, they’re AFFORDABLE. This post is not sponsored; I purchased all of these items. I just really love affordable workout clothes. And YES, I did work out after taking these pics. Remus and I went on a 2.5 mile walk right after this. The leggings I found were on clearance for $7! Such a great deal. I love how cute these are. They really look like…
Hi, my name is Courtney, and I love buffalo plaid. Buffalo plaid is a huge trend right now, and I’m loving it. I have buffalo plaid pajamas, buffalo plaid pajamas for Remus, a buffalo plaid coffee mug… And THEN I found this shirt. I love this shirt. It’s black, a staple for me, but I love the buffalo plaid accents. It has a plaid pocket in the front, which is really cute, and a plaid hood lining. I just think it’s so fun! It’s so comfy, and I love the length…
