the perfect summer dress is on amazon - and less than $30

in

Last year I found this hot pink linen dress on Amazon that is so affordable, I am considering buying it in multiple colors. It’s the perfect summer find for under $30.

It’s the Goodthreads Women's One Size Linen Tiered Midi Dress It’s a linen and cotton blend dress that ties in the back, which makes it a really easy and flattering fit. I wore it on vacation in Italy with sneakers during the day and then dressed it up with a block heeled sandal and statement earrings for dinner. I reach for it on hot summer city days and layer it with a cozy knit sweater on chillier spring days.

Check it out here on Amazon.

Clean Beauty Review: MERIT

in

I would describe my beauty and skincare routine as clean-ish. I’ll take any opportunity to try out a new clean beauty product that’s better for my skin and I restock regularly on retinol serums. I prefer beauty products that have cleaner ingredients, but I don’t compromise on how effective they are. When the MERIT team reached out and let me know that they would be launching a new clean beauty line this month, I could not wait to get my hands on their products and see if they lived up to the hype. Keep reading for the full review!

Review: The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Foundation and Concealer Stick in cream

I’ve been wearing MERIT’S The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Foundation and Concealer Stick in Cream for almost three weeks now. I spent way too much timing choosing a shade online. Am I warm? Am I cool? Am I neutral?! How have I been wearing makeup for this long without being 100% sure… but honestly I didn't need to worry because the descriptions and images were very accurate. The Cream shade (fair with warm undertones) was a perfect match. I added my go-to Milk makeup matte cream bronzer for some light contouring and it blended in to create a really lovely finish. I don’t usually use a cream foundation and I liked that I could build up coverage only in areas that need it most. It easily covered darker spots from fading breakouts, a few new breakouts, and under eye circles. The Minimalist Complexion stick is great for the days I want more coverage than a tinted moisturizer (video calls, weekends) and the silky texture blends great with or without a brush. Always here for a product that solves multiple problems, so I’m all about a two-in-one foundation and concealer. This would be a great vacation makeup must-have in the future, because you only have to bring one product instead of two. I have been tossing this in my bag on the weekends because it is so compact and versatile.

The verdict: it’s a great complexion problem solver that’s easy to apply.

Review: Merit Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil in au naturel

Glossy, hydrating, what’s not to like about a tinted lip oil? I have a hard time finding neutral lip colors that don’t look strange on my skin tone. The Au Naturel shade is amazing. A bit rosy with a natural shine. I have pretty sensitive skin and have had more bad reactions to lip products than I care to remember. I am happy to report that after wearing shade slick for about three weeks, this tinted lip oil has had the exact opposite effect. My lips are more hydrated than usual, which is pretty impressive in this dry winter air. I think the darker shades like Sangria would be so beautiful, too.

A few of the clean ingredients below that are the magic behind this hydrating lip oil:

Rosehip Oil and Omega 3, 6, and 9 Essential Fatty Acids: Support healthy barrier function and provide antioxidant benefits.

Shea Butter and Grapeseed Oil: Condition and soften lips.

Jojoba Oil: Creates a protective barrier to lock in moisture.

The verdict: leaves you with soft and hydrated lips in luxurious shades.

They’ve really thought of every detail. The products arrived in a chic little corduroy makeup bag that can double as a clutch purse.

Thanks to the MERIT team for giving me a first look at this lovely new line of clean beauty products to review! I’m excited to have more clean beauty options that work great and make getting ready easy.

The Perfect Pink Puffer Jacket Under $100

in

If you’re like me and get bored of the same black winter coats every year, I’ve found the answer with this Amazon Essentials bright pink puffer coat. It is so cozy, it’s like a sleeping bag. The pockets have a fleece lining that is delightful on cold days. I don’t even need gloves. Because it is a longer, relaxed fit cocoon coat it’s warm enough and long enough to toss on over a top and jeans for a walk without extra layers. It’s an affordable option to add a colorful puffer jacket to your wardrobe, which I love. The quality is great. Layer it up with a sweater when the weather gets cold for extra coziness. Of course, you can size up for more of an oversize look with this coat and it will give you extra room for layers.

It’s also available in camel, black and grey if you love the style of this pink puffer jacket but prefer a neutral puffer jacket. This is one of the best under $100 Amazon finds to bring some fun color to your cold weather wardrobe. The pink is a great casual weekend style. You could easily dress this jacket up for the office for a more professional look if you need to for the office.

Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas You Can Order on Amazon

‘tis the season for cozy sweater dresses, warm and spicy drinks, and chic suede boots. I hate the cold, but love to layer so holiday fashion is always a favorite of mine. Here are a few pieces that I have in my cart that you can order from Amazon no matter what your holiday plans look like this year—cozy at home with take out, glamming up for a date night in, or an outdoor dinner party with your family.


This might just be the perfect oversize sweater for your Thanksgiving outfit and any holiday plans. This soft red color would also be a cute piece for Christmas looks and more. This color is so flattering on virtually everyone and will look great with denim for casual fall and winter weekends.

A print poncho is great if your holiday plans include dining al fresco. Pair a simple cotton dress with this wrap and you’ve got a Thanksgiving look that will steal the show.

This faux leather wrap midi skirt is the ultimate chic piece to mix and match with knits. Dress it up for a fancier evening with a pair of heels and dress it down with your favorite cozy knits. Style it with a sleek black turtleneck bodysuit for a seriously elegant look.

This pair of suede ankle boots will go with all of your fall favorites. It is perfect with your favorite denim and an oversize sweater. It’s dresses down a fall print dress for more casual evenings or weekends. A neutral pair of ankle boots is a wardrobe essential. I find that tan shades make your legs look even longer and go great with any skirt length.
