i got spray tanned before my girlfriend Amber's wedding and Jeff could not look at me with a straight face. I was so tan and the best part about my spray tan; I only got 1 coat. The technician told me this particular machine recommends 2 or 3. I couldn't even imagine. Anyway, I ended up taking a shower a few hours after my spray tan because I was just getting darker and darker. I talked about the winter transition tans but what about just looking plain ol' sun kissed? I put together some of my fav make-ups to really make you look like a sun goddess..or throw these on and you're good to go to the beach too.
SHOP: NYX Concealer // i'm in love with this concealer; it's dirt cheap and hides blemishes and is basically my most favorite thing ever. IMAN// BB Cream with SPF // just a simple tinted make up. BENEFIT // sun beam - enough said. BOBBI BROWN // amazing bronzer. bronze it up! BURTS BEE LIP BALM // a simple lip product. ST TROPEZ // gradual tanner for your face. MAYBELLINE // my favorite waterproof mascara. BUMBLE BUMBLE // just spritz this surf spray in your hair and go.

holy heat wave and happy may!! it's almost 100 on the beach. don't get me wrong, I love the sunshine but there is a nice little line between beautiful weather and downright hot. i. am. hot. friday it's suppose to be the hottest day of the week so i've already designated my day to a beach day: lathering on tons of spf and reading some trashy romance novel on my kindle. i put together a list of my sunny beach day must haves; i hope you enjoy and i hope you are staying cool; don't forget to drink tons of water!!!
i am a huge fan of the french style tops. let's be real- a bandeau gives you the worst tan lines // we aren't wearing tube tops as much as we once were; make the switch. every season i buy a new black bikini bottom, they're the most versatile bottoms you can buy- i love mixing my black bottoms with a fun top. I keep my beach bag pretty consistent: a towel, spf, a hat and of course, my kindle. depending on my mood i'll throw on shorts and an oversized tee or a sundress. i always wear flip-flops to the beach but if we're planning on grabbing lunch or running errands it's nice to have an extra sandal.
