Instagram Roundup

February 26, 2016February 26, 2016 ~ styledmuse ~ Leave a comment

Happy Friday! I am so happy it is finally the weekend. I felt like this week was never going to end.

I decided to do an Instagram roundup today, since I haven’t done one in a long time! I noticed a lot of my readers come from Facebook and don’t have an Instagram account, so this is a perfect time to find out where everything is from!

Everything in each photo is tagged with a link to where I purchased the item. If the item is sold out, I tagged a similar one.

Physicians Formula Set // Coffee Table Book (similar)

YSL Lipstick // Matte Lipstick // Nail Polish // Note card and Calendar found in Target Dollar Spot // Sea Urchin // Faux Fur Stool

Skirt (similar) // Shoes // Rug

Earrings // Hand Cream // Ring Holder (similar) // Snake Bracelet // Cuf f Bracelet (similar)

If there is something I missed, please let me know! Have a great weekend!

How To Wear A Graphic Tee

Happy Hump Day! I’m happy to announce that I finally have a new laptop! Which means more photos (and ones that are edited) haha! I’m really excited to start this new series on how to wear a graphic tee! Each Wednesday for the next 3 weeks, I will be posting a new outfit with this same graphic tee, to give you ideas on how to wear them. I will also be giving you other ideas that aren’t photographed.

For week one, I kept it basic with jeans and a blazer (of course you don’t have to wear a blazer, it was just chilly when I was photographing these haha). To dress it down a bit, you can wear flats, or white converse (my fav). I love adding a statement necklace and bright colored lip to pull the look together.

The fold over leopard clutch is originally from Accessory Lane, but is currently sold out so I tagged two different options for you. I will let everyone know when this exact one is back in stock. It has become my new favorite bag, and it also has a chain strap to make it a cross body bag!

What is your favorite way to wear a graphic tee? Let me know in the comments!

Happy Thursday! I am so glad it’s almost the weekend. This weekend in STL it is supposed to be 70 degrees, which made me start shopping for my spring wardrobe. I created a little spring inspiration board to get you ready for spring! Both the dress and top are perfect winter to spring transition pieces with their long sleeves and open shoulders (hard to see on the dress). I purchased a few spring pieces (the dress is one of them) over the weekend during the President’s Day sales many sites were having, so expect lots of outfit posts soon!

Have you started your spring wardrobe shopping yet? Let me know in the comments!

Airbrush Legs

May 20, 2015May 20, 2015 ~ styledmuse ~ Leave a comment

Summer is just around the corner, and what does that mean? Getting that perfect tan! But before pools open and beach days start, there are other ways of getting that glow: sunless tanners.

I signed up with Influenster to test products, and one item I received was Airbrush Legs by Sally Hansen! It’s a temporary leg makeup that can be easily washed off with soap and water at the end up the day.

It goes on smooth without streaks and does give you the perfect summer glow (as you can see in the photo above). My legs are pasty white, and after applying this product they actually had a natural looking color. The downfall? It rubs off on literally everything. My white rug now has orange spots where I was sitting (I mean, I guess it probably wasn’t a good idea in the first place… but it looked great for the photo, right?) It is also really messy, I somehow managed to splatter it on my bathroom floor, sink, and bathroom rug. Luckily it came right off with makeup remover wipes.

After trying this product, I decided it wasn’t for me. I have always used Jergens Natural Glow moisturizer and plan to stick with it.

Have you tried the Sally Hansen leg makeup? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below!

Sooo, can we talk about the Lilly for Target madness? I mean, did anyone expect it to be this crazy? I remember Sunday morning I was looking at everything online thinking “well, I guess I can just go to Target later and look at everything” boy was I wrong. I should have just bought it online while it was in stock! I did end up with a few items, but of course everything I had my eye on was sold out. If you were able to get there in time, tag me in your photos, I would love to see what you found!

I bought these earrings and necklace from the Metal Marvels flash sale! They have the cutest jewelry at an affordable price! Their website is linked HERE if you would like to go take a look!

Spring Shirt

April 13, 2015 ~ styledmuse ~ Leave a comment

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I found this shirt one day searching through Forever 21’s website on clearance, and decided to buy it because I just could not pass up the price. Sometimes I debate on buying shirts like this online because the pictures of the detail on the shirt look different on their website than what it really is. But when I received this shirt, it was definitely better than what I had expected. The lace detail on the top was perfect for spring.

The shirt itself is a tank, so I like to wear a cardigan over top of it for cooler spring days. The look is complete with jeans and booties (or spring heels!).

Sadly, this shirt is no longer on Forever 21’s website, but I linked a few similar ones I found on their website that are just as cute! I also found one on another website that is a bit more pricey, but has a lot of crochet detail.

Shirt 1 // Shirt 2 // Shirt 3 // Shirt 4 // Jeans // Cardigan // Booties

Hope everyone has a great week!
