Lexi Takeover

Hi ya'll. It's Lexi.

*taps pink nails on keyboard*

 

I thought long and hard about what I could possibly write about on a blog. There really was only one thing that came to mind...

FaShIoN. 

It is no secret that I love shopping and for very good reasons. Being half demon, there wasn't exactly a crowd of girls knocking down my school locker to be friends. So I compensated. A lot. Shopping and fashion became my outlet, my friend, my therapy. (Which I am probably in desperate need of. You try living with both Chase and Travis. It's no easy feat.) 

But that all changed when Angel showed up. I never thought Chase could be so pleasant. Shows you just how powerful love can be.

*sighs wistfully*

So, I thought I would share with you what I will be wearing this summer. These are my summer fashion must haves. 

1. Cute bedazzled shoes. Who does like to sparkle?

2. Floral print. It's girly and adorbs. Enough said.

3. Pastels and cut-outs. I need this dress! *digs in her purse for credit card*

4. I'm a lover not a fighter. Heart-shaped sunglasses. Got to conceal those demon eyes on occasion.

5. Show a little skin. Long, flowing maxi skirts and cropped tops. I'm in love.

6. Get high and mighty! Wedges with lush straps.

What are your guys favorite summer trends?

XOXO. Muwah!

Birchbox - December 2013

So I got my December Birchbox, and I thought it would be fun to share with you guys. If you haven't heard of it, check them out here.

Each month for $10 they send a box of beauty samples (sometimes full size) that you can purchase at their shop (you accumulate points too that you can use to buy stuff). It's fun, and I love getting the box each month =)

This is what came in my December box. And I have already used almost all of the products.

Each box comes with a card listing product details.

1. Hello perfume by Harvey Prince. It has a nice, light, floral scent. I am super picky about my perfume, but I really liked this.

2. Glittery hair tie and Manna glo shimmer lotion. I used the shimmer lotion with my foundation. Loved it, but not something I would use everyday.

3. 25-hour Miracle cream - This is a moisturizer that doubles as a make-up remover. I haven't tried this one yet.

4. Number 4 hairspray. This was nice, good scent too, which is a plus. I don't normally use hairspray. I'm a wash and go kind of girl.

There you guys go. What do you think? Should I post my Birchbox goodies every month? I also got a monthly subscription to Ipsy. They are just like Birchbox, same price, but different products. I am excited to get my first box in January. Maybe I will do a comparison of the two...

Pretty & Sweet Headband (its all Etsy fault)

I love to support independent sellers. As I am forever scoping out Etsy to find the cutest stuff.

Check out this sweet and romantic headband that just came in the mail yesterday. I just couldn't wait to try it on. It is on 26 degrees today in the Windy city, so it was a perfect day for it.

 

They are soft and very comfortable. I just fell in love with them on sight. These awesome knitted headbands are made my CoCosKnits. They have a bunch of other really cute stuff. Check out the etsy store.

Happy shopping!

XOXO

My inner cowgirl

These hats by Cowgirl Swank are my new fashion obsession. I. Absolutely. Adore them to pieces. I love the funky fur and bling combo. If its got bling, I'll probably wear it ;)

I've been country line dancing for years, and this would make the perfect accessory to get my boot scootin boogie on (truly this is a name of a line dance). Yep I do live in Chicago, but I've always felt like I should have been born a country girl. I'm a total jean and boot rockin' kind of gal.

*I love country music.
*I love horses & horseback riding. (the goal is to someday have a ranch and a horse. My husband is not exactly on board with this plan)
*I love Tennessee, Nashville specifically. (this would be the idea location for my make believe ranch)
*Cowboys are dreamy.
*Southern hospitality really does exist.

Cowgirl Swank does custom hats, my only dilemma is which style do I choose?
