April Favorites

Today I am sharing the first post in my monthly favorites series. I constantly try new products, and am excited to share my absolute must haves through this series. Every month I will share products from multiple categories such as shoes, clothing, accessories, beauty, and tech. Please feel free to share your favorites with me as well!

SHOES: WHITE MULES

I love to pair my mules with any outfit that needs a little something extra. I have to admit I love white shoes, and I will buy them, but I refuse to pay an exorbitant amount of money for them. I like to believe that I’m careful with my items, but I’m a bit of a clumsy person. This means that I will scuff up white shoes really quickly! With that said, I have been floored by the quality of the white mules above that were only $13! I linked a similar pair below, as these are sold out. White mules match with everything, which is one of the reasons I love them.

CLOTHING: FEMININE WHITE TOPS

If you’re looking for some really cute white tops, you have to check out ASOS. They have been killing it lately with items that are perfect for spring. There is something so effortless about styling tops like these. See my favorite below!

ACCESSORIES: GOLD BOBBY PINS

It’s no secret that hair pins have made a huge comeback. I am definitely into the gorgeous pearl pins that have been everywhere lately, but right now I am loving gold bobby pins. I like styling them on top of each other, or by pairing three to four of them side by side. It adds just the right amount of warmth to my dark mane. I even like wearing them to the office for a subtle statement.

BEAUTY: LONDONTOWN NAIL POLISH

I must say that I love wearing nail polish, but it barely lasts on me for 3 days before getting all kinds of chipped. So when Londontown, offered to send over a few polishes that claim to not only last for 2 weeks, but also “restore and beautify hands,” I was a bit skeptical. I decided to track the journey of my polish on Instagram stories, and I was amazed by how well the polishes lasted. Day 1 to day 7 looks pretty much exactly the same. I had to remove the polish to change the color for a wedding after that first week, but let me tell you, the second polish I tried lasted two weeks looking better than most polishes look on me after 3 days of wear. The polishes have a three-step process of base coat, polish, and top coat, and trust me, you MUST go through the three-steps. I accidentally used the top coat as the bottom coat with one of the polishes, and the polish did not last long. I also skipped doing a bottom coat to test whether it would work or not, and it did not! The magic is definitely in the three-step process. I will keep testing out these polishes, and give you all an update soon, with of course, more photos. These polishes can be found online, at Anthropologie, Ulta, and Neiman Marcus. I am wearing the shade, The Full Monty above.

TECH: AIRPODS

So it definitely took me quite some time to jump on the AirPods bandwagon, but now that I have, I refuse to go back to regular headphones. I’ll admit it, I had doubts. All my friends know I barely have my phone charged, I trip over my own feet, and I have a hard time keeping track of my regular headphones. So of course to me that that meant that I would forget to charge my AirPods, constantly misplace them, or worse, lose one! Surprisingly though, my AirPods have been very easy to take care of. I love using them for my early morning meetings. My #1 tip is to always, always, always place them back in the charging case as soon as you are done using them. It is a lot easier to misplace AirPods when they are not inside the case.
