back

A took a vacation (longer than I had planned) from the blogsphere and it feels amazing to be back. I come to you all readier and eager than ever with inspiration oozing! Without further ado, here are a few of my 'happys' that have made me just that...

feathered hues

The runways display trend after trend every season and I honestly believe it should be a personal decision weather or not to take them on. Harem pants? Why not. Big sheaths for Fall ’12? I think I’ll be passing on that one.

But two trends that have caught my eye this Spring are feathers and pinky-peachy lips. Both can be dressed up or down and add a fun twist to any outfit. Pink lips can take a lacey white dress to a whole other level and donning one extra-long feather earring will for sure get a second look.

HauteSauce takes on both...

earrings: F21//lips: Revlon}

These are earrings I purchased last week from Forever21 to wear to a concert. Long story short, I opted for a necklace instead but I have not put these away forever. The earrings consist of gold chain, diamonds, and feathers. Too much? Should the bling go?

This Revlon lip gloss that I bought before my vacation to Mexico has become my new beauty obsession. You would think it was Chanel Glossimere but costs a third of the price. The girls are fabulous and stay on without being too sticky.

As summer approaches and I count down my last days of public schooling, there are a few fashion house-keeping rules that I find myself getting taken care of rather quickly. Although I am not done, I have found a few fabulous pieces to amp up my summer wardrobe. Although everyone’s style is different and unique, I believe the following products would make any girl a little more excited to be bronzed 

— if that’s even possible! 

1. Fun fedora or straw hat in a pastel or bright color
{Etro straw fedora $650}

2. Nude wedge—combining height and comfort!
{Dolce Vita ‘Jade’ wedge $180}

3. Darker makeup to adapt with your tanning skin
{NARS bronzer $33}

4. Cheap sunnies that won’t be missed if lost in the lake
{Topshop aviators $28}

5. An off-the-shoulder vintage for that ‘whatever’ look that just works
{AllSaints vintage top $95}

6. A ‘WOW’ piece that is versatile and not to be worn every day
{Topshop bolero $90}
