Friday Favorites

I get asked pretty regularly what my favorite products, trends, etc. are and I figured I would start putting together lists of some things I'm loving. From music to makeup, if I like something, I like it all the way. There's not a lot of gray area in my life. 

Anywaysss... here are a few things I am loving/addicted to/can't get enough of right now-

Friday Favorites - 05.16.14 by rulesforbelles featuring abalone jewelry

1. Kimonos- I have never been much of a cardigan girl but I do love to layer. It's pretty difficult to layer when it's 98 degrees outside with 100% humidity... welcome to the South, am I right ladies? Enter a kimono. Most of them are super lightweight, somewhat sheer and just add the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. It says, "I'm too cool to put in a ton of effort, I'm naturally this fabulous."

2. bareMinerals bareSkin Foundation- I have oily skin and an obsession with full coverage makeup which is not a great combo for summers in the South. I always struggle with how to balance wearing enough makeup to feel covered but not enough to where it's running down my face... the struggle is real y'all. So enter this miracle worker. I have only worn it a couple of times now but I think it is going to save my life/face this summer. It's such a nice balance!

3. Kendra Scott Elle Drop Earrings in Abalone- I have been obsessed with Kendra Scott's jewelry for quite a while now and finally got a pair for my birthday. While they are all fabulous, the Abalone is just too good. They are fun and quirky while sleek and sophisticated. And they match everything. Run, don't walk, to get some. Right now. 

4. Drybar VIP Pack- Taylor gave me this for my birthday and it's safe to say, I. Am. Obsessed. It includes dry shampoo, mousse (perfectly titled Southern Belle) and hairspray. They are half sizes so they can fit in your purse. Woohoo!!! 

5. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb- Between allergies and being incredibly particular, I always have trouble finding a perfume that is just right for me. So last week, I took a Zyrtec, headed to my local perfume counter and spent the better part of an hour trying as many different scents as I could stand. And boy was it worth it. I absolutely fell in LOVE with this scent. I am not a flowery kind of person, so I was hesitant because of the name, but it is not a floral scent. It has a touch of floral but it's very clean and just smells pretty- if that's even a thing... I've only worn it for a few days and have been stopped by strangers to ask what perfume I was wearing. Seriously, if you're in the market for a new fragrance, GO BUY IT. They sell a hair mist too. I'll probz buy that. I'm that in love. 

6. Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara- Y'all.......... this stuff is MAGIC. It is blackkkk and after a few coats looks like falsies. I'm obsessed. 

7. Anything having to do with Iggy Azalea- From Fancy's Clueless themed video to Problem (with Ariana Grande) to how much she loves fashion and her big butt, I think Iggy and her music are perfection. I'll be shaking it to her allllllll summer long. 

So that's what I'm loving right now. What about y'all?? Let me know on twitter.
