YSL? Y-E-S

I have recently fallen in love with YSL beauty. I was introduced to Touche Eclat (which by the way is a miracle product). That brought me to the makeup counter more frequently, only to realize that the YSL Beauty packaging is out of this world.

Ashley and I gathered some favorite products to share with you in case you are looking to glam up your vanity with some cosmetics.

1. Yves Saint Laurent 'Ombrés 5 Lumieres' Palette

2. Yves Saint Laurent 'Terre Saharienne - Poudre de Soleil' Bronzing Powder SPF 12

3.Yves Saint Laurent 'Ombres Duolumières' Eyeshadow Duo

4. Yves Saint Laurent 'Pure Chromatics' Wet & Dry Eyeshadow Palette

5. Yves Saint Laurent Nail Lacquer

6. Yves Saint Laurent Creme de Blush

7. Yves Saint Laurent 'Eyeliner Effet Faux Cils' Longwear Cream Eyeliner

8. Yves Saint Laurent 'Rouge Pur Couture - Vernis a Levres' Glossy Stain

Giveaway!! From Eberjey and Dallas Shaw

Eberjey. I adore this brand. You most likely already know this if you follow me on twitter and pinterest. I like them more than ever this year because of the beautiful images from their new swim collection. 

The boho beach photos are filled with striped and ruffled bikinis, and their cover ups are sooo chic.

Today, I am giving away a cover-up from the amazing site. I could hardly decide which of these two was my personal favorite, so we thought the winner should decide for themselves!

Choose between the chiffon luxe long caftan, and the paradise found farrah. (both below)

I like the "chiffon luxe", b/c of the beading and it's unique length, and the "paradise found" b/c it's short. I can conveniently wear it from the sand to the margarita bar with my white j.brand jeans. 

To enter, simply comment below with which of the two you prefer (I am dying to know b/c then I can choose!)

For extra entries, like eberjey on FB, sign up for their newsletter, and follow eberjey or Dallas Shaw on twitter. Just leave a separate comment letting us know if you do each. That means each person can enter up to 5 times!!! 

Good luck! And as always, thanks for reading our little blog. Contest ends one week from today.

 I decided that I need Chloe's Eden bag. I love how the caramel tassle and letters look against every color this bag comes in. While I think I'd opt for the taupe if I can get my hands on it. Let the search begin!

Psst. Can I please have the wallet too?

New work!

Some of you local ladies know this, but I have a spread in every issue of Signature Brandywine (a mag here in DE). In the upcoming issue I include a pair of metallic gold Jack Rogers Navajos.

I really think everyone should own a pair of gold sandals. Throw a pair on and you immediately look like you have given your outfit some serious thought, when you really put in very little effort. A gold sandal pulls together almost every piece in my summer wardrobe.

The pair on my list this year? Jack Rogers' Gold Sardinia Navajos.

 I can personally tell you that navajos are the most comfortable sandals in the world.  I am so happy to call JR a client of mine, otherwise I might never have known.

 

Want a pair of your own? Leave a comment below on why you need some Sardinia Navajo Sandals in your wardrobe. 

(extra entries if you follow Jack Rogers or Dallas Shaw on twitter- just leave us another comment to say you are following.)
