Halloween Weekend iPhone pics + Recent Buys

Hi kids! Hope you all had a GREAT and fun Halloween weekend! I know I definitely did! My best friends Mon and Sonia (twins!) and Mon's fiance Ben all came down to visit me in Charlotte! We had such a great time, so lucky to have friends like this in my life!! I only have my iPhone pics to share, will share my camera pics later this week :)

Friday night, we decided to be the Kardashians!


Kim K - btw my tan is courtesy of Palm Beach Tan mystic tan.. Obsessed!


Sonia and me


We had so much fun on Friday night, I was able to get a good deal on bottle service through work so we had a lot of fun!

Saturday, there were some costume shenanigans, my costume that I ordered seriously was unbreathable from how tight it was it didn't even want to zip up so sonia was EXTREMELY nice and gave me her costume and she bought another! (im telling u - extremely amazing friends)

this was my greek goddess costume


sonia and me


mon and me


Overall, it was an AMAZING weekend but it went by SO FAST!

I took advantage of the Karmaloop coupon code (TREAT for 20% off and free shipping) and purchased these loves - been eying then for so long! $116 minus 20% off - basically free
Sam Edleman Lorna Shoe



I also got this cute Mink Pink blouse - thought it would be good for work + play :)


Last week - I made the best purchase of the year....


5TH ROW TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS FOR NOV. 16TH!!!!!!!!
I am so freaking excited! And the best part is that my best friend Jimmy is coming from boston to see it with me AND it's his birthday AND it's his first T. Swift concert EVER! We are both HUGE fans.. I don't even care if we are going to be surrounded by 13 year old girls, we are going to have the best time ever.

So excited! Stay tuned for my blog posts this week and my October Favorites video!

Weekend Pictures

Friday afternoon, I drove down to Atlanta (NOTE TO SELF: never drive on friday afternoons ever again - I saw 4 horrible accidents and it took me 5 hours instead of 3) and I went to a going away party for my good friend from high school, Stacy, who is moving away to Baltimore in a week.
we had such a fun time! (not too much though, I had to drive)

got to see my friend Evan too!



Saturday, my sister Steph and I went shopping at Lenox/Phipps - I managed to get some pretty great things from the new f21 at lenox and treated my sister to a shopping spree :) annd we waited 45 min in line...



Saturday night, my cousin Adabelle met up with us and we had a great dinner at Luciano's



steph, me and ada!





Sunday, I drove back early to go to the Panthers game in Charlotte with my parents... they finally won a game.. haha!



Last night, I tried a new recipe I found via Pinterest (my new obsession) - it was amazing!
Balsamic and Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower

Sephora Friends and Family Purchases

Hello loves! Sephora is having their annual friends and family code (you can get your personal code here) and of course... I HAD to take advantage of it. Every single year, the code gets released days after I have a shopping spree there - I literally just stocked up at Sephora (aka my latest haul) - but decided to pick up some extra goodies that I had been eying and stocking up on some necessities.

NARS "All About Cheeks Palette"
I think this is the item I am most excited about - at $65 it is a tad pricey, but with the 20% off coupon, it was worth it - I do not have any of the colors in the palette and I had been wanting to try out other blushes from them (I use deep throat blush and laguna bronzer from NARS)


Clinique "Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer"
I really love the benefit moisturizer that I have been using but I wanted something a little heavier for the night - this one has really good reviews - will review once I get it!


Oscar Blandi "Trattamento al Fango" - hair treatment recommended by my best friend Monica who has extremely gorgeous shiny hair!


Benefit Creaseless eyeshadow in R.S.V.P. - heard great things about them via Amanda Raine Beauty on YouTube - check out her videos!


Bliss Pore Perfecting Facial Polish
I absolutely LOVE my bliss daily detoxifying toner and have been yearning to try more of their skincare line (I have previously been loyal to Philosophy)


and last but not least, stocked up on my FAVORITE foundation on this planet
Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation (I am in the color sand beige) - if you are looking for a full coverage flawless foundation - this is it!


What goodies did you snag up?

Follow me on twitter! @yesitis_kevin (it's back, yay!)

Stay tuned for weekend pics and new vlogs later this week!

curled my hair today.. cures the monday blues for sure! ha
Happy Monday LOVES! Hope you all had a fabulous and restful weekend. Mine was pretty good - Friday I was feeling under the weather the whole day but ended up going out with some of my coworkers to a bar called Phoenix in downtown, it was really fun! Saturday was a shopping day for me - got some great BCBGeneration clothes on sale and stocked up on some fun beauty items from Target and Sephora - I filmed a haul video that will be going up shortly!!

Saturday night, I picked up my mom from the airport and we went out to dinner and just had a chill night. Sunday, we just had lunch, went to church, then I worked out at night and watched the RHONJ reunion - can you say DRAMA!? RHONJ has been my favorite series for three years now, love the ladies - cannot believe how much Teresa has changed and how differently Bravo portrays her now - Idk about you but I am definitely team Caroline (can't believe she doesn't talk to Dina now!? how insane is that?!) anyways...

Obsessed with the sephora by OPI nail polish I picked up called "chesnuts about you" - gorgeous rose gold color


I am a salad freak- absolutely love them, great way to get your veggies and protein in one.. just be careful about the dressings! Always order olive oil & vinegar or balsamic vinagrette and NEVER creamy or Cesar dressings (soooo many calories!)
salmon nicoise salad from Nordstrom Cafe


I usually always stick to my trader joes hummus but I picked this one up the other day and am IN LOVE


Another favorite of mine slash obsession: PINKBERRY! why is it a 5 min drive from my house oh and in the same shopping center as my trainer? LOL in my defense - this was my dinner that night AND it was after a cardio sesh.. (haha anything to make me feel better)


My parents were in Vegas last week and while they were eating at L'Atelier - Joel Robuchon was there! My parents were so excited (seeing as though we have restaurants too) and they got a pic! SO JEALOUS!!!


Sunday OOTD: J.crew Pixie Pants, J.Crew Burnout Tshirt, Francesca's White Blazer, Nine West Booties

These booties are probably my favorite purchase of the season so far... they are work appropriate and SOOO comfortable

They come in a lot of colors and they are on sale on the nine west site

Also got these awesome shoes in last week - LOVE LOVE LOVE!


stay tuned for my haul video that I will post later today!

What to Buy Now: Feminine Blouses

*Announcement* - for some unknown reason, my twitter account was randomly suspended, so I will let you know when it's back up! has anyone had this happen to you?

I don't know about where you are, but here in NC - Fall is in full bloom. Stash away your tank tops and denim shorts (well unless u want to pair them with tights and booties) and bring out the riding boots, comfy sweaters and skinny jeans! There is something about fall that just instantly makes me happy - nonfat pumpkin spiced lattes, over the knee boots, chunky infinity scarves, leaves candle from bath and body works, cardigans, and MORE!

A trend that I am loving this season is: the feminine blouse. You can literally wear this with EVERYTHING. Blouses are great because you can transition them from work to night or weekend with just some easy transitions. Pair a blouse with a pencil skirt or black pants for work, for a more casual look - pair with skinny jeans, a cardigan and boots or cutoff denim shorts, tights and booties! For a night-time look, you can wear any blouse with leather shorts and heels, with a pair of leather leggings, or tucked into a bandage skirt.

You can find these blouses anywhere but I have highlighted my favorites down below.

Just bought this gorgeous white top on my lunch break at Nordstrom
It is by Bellatrix and retails for $78 - I bought it in the white, but it also comes in the color "paprika"


This maroon top is by patterson $98 (one of my favorite brands) - this deep red color is perfect for fall


This next top is BCBGMAXAZRIA $168 brings in the animal print trend of the fall as well - imagine how great this would look with black skinny pants and sky high heels


This next top is by DVF $298 is definitely on the splurge side, but this top really can take you from season to season and the shape and fit is great.


This Boyod blouse may be my favorite - I have been admiring it since I first saw it in August but at $205, it is definitely a splurge to think about because of the sequined detailing - this top would be great for the holidays (christmas and new years) so I am thinking it may be worth the splurge - what are your thoughts?


F21 "Blouses and Shirts" also has some great budget-friendly options and same with Francesca's Collection

stay tuned for vlogs (haul and favorites) coming up soon (will be up tomorrow I promise!)

Weekend Pics + Recent Buys

Hello Lovelies! Hope you all had an amazing weekend! Mine was wonderful and relaxing, since my parents were in town this weekend, we just had fun hanging out together and attending some events. My dad played in a charity gold tournament this weekend with one of his best friends so we attended the night events on Friday and Saturday night. Friday night was a pig roast and Saturday night was a Vegas themed cocktail party - unlimited dirty martinis anyone? I am so lucky to have such fun parents that I love to spend time with, couldn't imagine it otherwise.

First things first - I finally made a twitter account for my blog!

picked up some books over the weekend: the hunger games, the white queen, and the red queen
I have started the white queen and it is sooooo good! the author is the author of the other boylen girl so if you liked that, you will probably like this book!


On Saturday, I finally got my hair trimmed! I had not gotten a cut since FEBRUARY so you can imagine how horrid my split ends were, it's a little shorter than what I am comfortable with but it feels SOO healthy now!


my mom and me at the vegas party


don't have a full outfit shot but I wore this dress from Nordstrom BP (which I also have in coral)
If you are ever looking for a great fitting dress, this is it! so flattering and comes in many colors! Only $50


Wore them with my Sam Edleman black Novado pumps
(on sale for $80 at zappos)


I also found a GREAT pair of jeggings - something that I have been wanting ever since my Citizen Avedon skinnies ripped to shreds - these banana republic jeggings fit AMAZING and they are so comfortable. Def worth a try - and at $90, they are a great quality option.


Sunday was a chill day - mom and I went to Cowfish, my new favorite restaurant here in Charlotte. It is a mix of sushi and burgers - they have GREAT food. I had an avocado-tunatini and then a make your own roll with brown rice, soy paper and salmon :)
oh and a blue moon!


Stay tuned for my September Favorites Vlog with some new mac goodies and my review of the skinsonic :)

happy monday!
