New Sponsor and a GIVEAWAY!

Happy Wednesday, readers! So today I'm posting about a new sponsor, SkincareRX. SkincareRX offers Best at Home Microdermabrasion which seems very convenient. They are also a retailer for clinical skincare products, and beauty products including make up and hair care!

Outfit Post: Mixed Print Panama

Outfit Details:
Shorts: H&M (old, but similar here)
Hat: Target
Shoes: Macy's
Bracelet: H&M
Watch: Michael Kors
Sunglasses: Ruche
Neon Satchel: Old Navy (similar here & here)
Lip Color: Revlon #435 "Love That Pink"

Hello! Thanks so much for all of the kind words and congratulations on my last post :) We've been having tons of fun exploring our new city. I am pretty excited about this new chapter in our lives too! (It's hard to believe that the wedding is only a short 2 weeks away!) Anyway, I have been so excited about sharing this outfit with you! Not only is it my very first outfit post from our new home, it's hands down one of my favorite summer stylings so far! I've wanted to try the polka dots on stripes for some time now. Would you believe that I've had both of these items in my closet for closet to a year now, and I've never paired them together!? I am also in love with my new hat. I think because I live in such a sunny place all the time, I'll be wearing a lot more hats to stay cool, but it definitely helps that they're such a stylish accessory!

Visit me again because after this weekend, I'll be announcing another GIVEAWAY from a new sponsor! Exciting! I hope your Friday is fabulous- J and I are having a mini pre-wedding bash with my best friend and maid of honor (if you don't remember her, she's the angel who planned my "Breakfast At Tiffany's" bridal shower!) and a few other friends. So, it should be a good time!

Thanks for reading!

Necklace: Kohls
Bracelet: Icing

Headband: handmade by my dear friend, Nichole

Hi everyone! I am SO happy that I have finally have internet again. I was really beginning to miss everyone. I can't wait to get back into a routine. There's been lots of fun things going on around here. If you follow me on twitter, or instagram you know what I'm referring to! However, I wanted to share some sweet pictures from my darling bachelorette/bridal shower with some of my girlfriends from school! We started the day off at a beautiful winery, and ended with a fun dinner & drinks. It was absolutely perfect, and although there may have been a few tears shed, (it was the last time I'll see these lovely ladies for a while) I had an amazing time. 

Also, this may or may not have happened last weekend :)
Thanks for reading!

Outfit Post: Olive Branch

Outfit Details:
Watch: Michael Kors
Bag: Louis Vuitton
Manicure: Sally Hansen 'Lacey Lilac'

Hi everyone! Happy Friday :) I have been super excited to share this outfit with you, not only because I adore my Rachel Rachel Roy dress, but also because these shoes are the greatest find ever! Remember the beloved Zara cap-toe pumps from last Fall? They sold out SO fast, and were impossible to buy (much like most Zara shoes) but I found these and they are almost the exact same. These have a thinner, sleeker heel, which I prefer anyway! They are the perfect color… and let's be honest, who doesn't love a cap-toe shoe?! So here you have it. My favorite shoes right now!

In other news, J and I are both gearing up for our graduations this weekend (tomorrow & Saturday!) However, I am very excited to announce the winner of the CampusBookRentals.com giveaway! According to random.org, the lovely reader, Britt, from The Magnolia Pair is the winner of the $50 gift card towards textbooks next semester! Congratulations, Britt, and thanks so much to all of the participants! I wouldn't want to spoil any surprises, but let's just say that there will be a few more giveaways of different items on this blog in the very near future! So stay tuned! Until then, have a fabulously, stylish weekend!

Thanks for reading!

Outfit Post: Floral Craze

Outfit Details:
Denim Chambray: Old Navy (similar)
Lace Tank: Forever 21
Floral Shorts: LC by Lauren Conrad (Love these too- 1/2/3)
Flower Pin & Gold Cuff: H&M
Watch: Michael Kors
Bow ring: Forever 21
Bag: H&M
Mint & Gold "Emily" Bracelet: c/o Christina M. Boutique
Manicure: Sally Hansen's "Lacey Lilac"
Wedges: Old Navy

So I noticed that I'm making super goofy faces in these pictures. Forgive me. Also don't you just love these floral denim shorts?! You totally can't beat the price. The other options I put up there are really cute too, and not super pricey. Did you notice the mint & gold bracelet from Christina M. Boutique? I have been wearing it with everything. Her jewelry is so versatile, and she has lots of gold pieces (if you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that I adore gold accent jewelry!) I also really like the Emily bracelet in Silver & Gold, as well as this darling Nicole bracelet! 

Well, J and I are officially moving in ten days, and graduating in five days. It's pretty crazy how fast time flies. However, we are more ready than ever to get this new chapter of our lives started. I've already made a couple of blogger friends in our new location, and I can't WAIT to meet them :) Hope you have a fabulous week!

Outfit Post: Finals Week (Plus a GIVEAWAY!)

Outfit Details:
Top: Forever 21
Maxi Skirt: Forever 21 (similar)
Belt: H&M
Hat: Wet Seal
Sandals: Express
Clutch: H&M
Bracelets: H&M
Watch: Michael Kors

Okay, I know you guys are really excited, but first-this outfit is one of those that I put on, and was immediately attracted to because of comfort. I like this skirt because of the bright, Springy color however, it is also surprisingly versatile. Pairing it with this sleeveless shirt and a pair of sandals was a no-brainer…and thank goodness for no-brainer outfits this week, because I will be using my brain way too much for finals week.  Even though this is my last finals week as an undergraduate student (I can't believe graduation is next Friday!) it is still quite exhausting! I just keep my sights set on my favorite part of finals week-the day I sell back my textbooks. I go in there with my bag full of books that I paid way too much money for in hopes of receiving, maybe, a quarter of what I paid for them originally.  However, that's the life of a college student- you have to buy books! …Or do you?

I recently learned about the ever-so convenient, money-saving textbook rental program CampusBookRentals.com. With this site you can rent textbooks for the duration of the semester 40-90% cheaper than if you buy them elsewhere! It's also nice because they have free shipping both ways, and you're even allowed to highlight in the books you rent. So, I know a lot of you readers are students like me, and in honor of my upcoming graduation, CampusBookRentals has offered a $50 gift card towards a book rental for the upcoming Summer or Fall semesters to one of Living in Color's student readers! All you have to do to enter is meet the criteria below:

How to Enter:
1. Be a follower of Living in Color

Good luck, friends!
I will pick the winner at random right before graduation on May 10!

Outfit Post: Pattern & A Collar

Outfit Details:
Blazer: Boutique in Cypress, CA
Flats: Me Too 'Patty' via Nordstrom
Watch: Michael Kors
Bag: Old Navy
Collar Necklace: Icing (similar)
Bracelets: H&M

Hello, dear readers! I hope you had a great weekend! I sure did-it was one of my favorites! J and I spent the all of Saturday together doing fun and special things together including looking for furniture for our new home, trying new places to eat (would you believe that I've never been to Texas Roadhouse?!), and revisiting the very first place that we met. It was truly amazing, and I've got some fabulous ensembles to share with you! This outfit is definitely a repeat. I have worn it many times, and it never fails for comfort and style. I love the tribal pattern on the romper, and how it ties in my collar necklace. The pop of neon from my favorite Old Navy satchel is the perfect icing on the fashion cake!
Speaking of my lovely neon satchel, I recently sold it on Poshmark- one of my favorite iPhone applications where you can buy and sell your new and used clothing+accessories! I have sold almost $300 of clothing, shoes, and accessories that either didn't fit me or I wanted to pass on! There are lots of lovely ladies out there who have tons have gently used clothes to sell-it's like a virtual thrift store! So download the app (did I mention it's free!?) and get started! While you're at it, you can shop my closet! My username is @livingincolor :)

Oh, one more thing! Living in Color is going to be featured tomorrow on my dear friend, Dani's blog! Remember my feature on her? Well, it's my turn! Check out The Daily Dani to see my interview!

Thanks for reading! xo.
