Toting Tulips

Hey All!

Jess from White Stag Boulevard here, and I am thrilled, as always, to be sharing my look here on Mindy Mae's! I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am that Spring is approaching. The tulips around my house have already started to bloom! I am looking forward to enjoying them for more than just a few days, so... I decided to skip the plucking of my flowers and head to the nearest floral shop. I grabbed these yellow beauties to brighten up my home! If only they would last in my tote I would probably just keep them there for the rest of the week...

Today's look is my simple "around town" Spring uniform. I pretty much live in over sized blouses from April to August. It's a great way to stay cool and it's easy to throw them on in the morning and still get that effortlessly styled look. I am switching out my favorite black leggings from this past winter for a light pair of skinny jeans. What can I say? All things in summer are light and bright, including my denim! For a day full of walking, I dawn my most comfortable wedge strap shoes. I need something that is going to stay on my feet!

My hair for the day is one of my favorite styles for second day curls! The braids pull my bangs out of my face and the loose simple braid down the side adds dimension to my very flat curls! I like to try and use as little heat as possible on my hair, so this works great because most of the time I don't have to re-curl anything! If a piece of hair is looking flat, just add a braid! I recently got a new set of tape in HotHeads Hair Extensions, done by the fabulous Kira Lynch at Amara Day Spa, and can I just say, I AM IN LOVE!

And for the most fabulous part of my outfit... Drum Roll Please....

My beautiful new bracelet from Mindy Mae's Market! I love the sparkle it adds to any outfit, and I also happen to have the coordinating necklace, which I wore straight for like 3 weeks after I got it! (See how I styled it HERE)

Happy Styling!

A Day in the Life of Céline

Hello there Everyone, it's Jess here, from White Stag Boulevard, and I am so thrilled to be posting today on Mindy Mae's! Over this last week, I have notice that I tend to accumulate a lot of different stuff in my purse... and let's just say that it is not all stuff that I need to carry around with me every where I go... So this weekend I decided to clean out my purse, and as I emptied the entire contents of my Céline, I realized that it was not just stuff I collected, but to me, it was really a bag of treasures and beauties!

To start, no girl is complete without her essential beauty items... For me, this means my Smashbox lip stick (fuchsia flash matte) and a coordinating lip gloss! Of course you can through my sunglasses and beautiful Mindy Mae's necklace in to the beauty category as well.

Now, as odd as it may be, I think my current "hoarding addiction" is all forms of stationary and paper items, weird right? I am absolutely in love with my steals from Target, (I found all of my items in the $1 bins!) This includes the matching pen as well.

Two of my favorite items I dug out of my purse were gifted to me from my amazing friend from Liberate Normal,  Stephanie Watts. My "People I Want to Punch in the Face" booklet, and my "Be Bold" statement photo. Both of these items just put a smile on my face! (Not that I really want to punch anyone... but as they say, it's the thought that counts...)

So this is a day in the life of my Céline... I enjoyed going through my bag, and realizing all of the simple pleasures that come from the littlest of things. It's really amazing what a little pink and gold will do for your attitude!

Happy Styling

Jess from White Stag Boulevard here, and it's another fabulous Wednesday on Mindy Mae's! I am thrilled, as always, to be sharing my look here on the blog. Today I am styling my Holiday Sparkle necklace. Don't let the name fool you, it can clearly be worn anytime, not just the holiday season! I paired this with some more sparkle I found in my jewelry box, to create an even more glittery look. I layered these necklaces over a simple ivory blouse, which is a favorite of mine, and is a staple item every woman should have in her closet. Now, I understand it is still technically January, but I needed some sunshine in my life! So I dug this skirt out of my summer clothing bin in storage to brighten up my day. I threw on a textured jacket with leather accents. Lets not forget my favorite new pair of shoes from Dolce Vita. I am absolutely convinced that the right pair of shoes is the solution to any problem. Finishing off the look with some classic pieces like my Michael Kors watch and Celiné, and we are good to go! Oh, and don't forget the matching lips and nails, (yes, I like them to coordinate as often as possible...) Today's shade is Candy Yum-Yum.

Happy Styling Everyone!

Love, Jess

Classy Casual

I am so thrilled to be guest posting on Mindy Mae's Market! The main feature I am sporting for my takeover today is this beautiful sparkle you will notice around my neck. I decided to pair this "frosting" with a more casual look. A simple graphic white T shirt, and a classic black blazer are a duo I pair together often. Adding a little bling to this look by throwing on this darling necklace tied it all together, while still looking effortless. Pair that with my favorite Michael Kors watch, a pop of bright colored MAC lipstick, and I am out the door as quick as a flash, while still looking chic.
