minty goodness

Spring time is finally here and the Florida weather has been feeling more like it lately. As we begin to transition into summer, my favorite colors of the season begin to fill the stores. Light pink, lavender, yellow, and my favorite, mint, have been in abundance and I couldn't be happier! On one of my usually weekly trips to target, I came across an amazing bag for $30. It is a light mint color that I tried to capture on camera. It goes perfect with pretty much every color! I'm absolutely in love with it and it is definitely going to be one of my staple pieces this summer.

H&M has amazing accessories and I recently picked up this bracelet that continues on with my mint obsession. The hints of gold and white accent the mint color and make this bracelet very versatile when accessorizing. I have a tiny wrist, but it fits perfectly. Being large in size it surprisingly isn't heavy which is what I was worried about. $9 well worth it!

My nail color of the week was Sally Hansen's Smooth and Perfect Color Care in Air. A very pale blue that looks great with a summer tan! Definitely an every day wearable color.


Forever 21, H&M, Zara, Victoria Secret and A'Gaci haul in my up and coming blog posts! Full of high waisted denim, bathing suits, and summer pieces! Have you found any favorite summer items so far?!

boho chic

Target has always had amazing accessories for very affordable prices and recently they've come out with a boho inspired line of clutches, backpacks, and handbags. When my eyes fell on this off-white leather purse, I knew I had to have it. I had been looking for a fringe bag for awhile now and didn't want to spend over $100 on one from Steve Madden when this trend can only stay around for so long. This one was $30! It's a slouchy bag with an adjustable strap and very spacious inside.



Target also has amazing shoes if you didn't know that already. It was about time I invested in a new pair of white sandals and came across these braided leather ones for $15! Target shoes are so comfortable, never give me blisters, and last me well over the years. I keep my shoes in good condition and avoid wearing them in the rain or walking in the dirt when at all possible. 

This teal cross body bag I purchased from Forever 21 for $15. Teal is my favorite color and this leather purse has such great detail. It's small in size, but can fit my fossil wallet in it and iPhone comfortably. A day to night purse that's for sure. Very pleased with these two finds because it's not everyday I buy handbags!

M.A.C

This past weekend I made my way to the Cosmetic Company Outlet (CCO) near me and I was so happy to find MAC's Morning Frost paint pot from the Glitter and Ice collection! It is a shimmering champagne taupe color. Paint pots can be used as a base or as an all over lid color. It's like a cream eyeshadow and lasts all day. I tried to pick up the color in the picture that I took, but it still doesn't do it justice. Highly recommend it if you can get your hands on it since it's not available on the website anymore. I also got it for $12 instead of $19!

I also picked up a new coral blush at the MAC counter for the spring time and decided on Style. I had heard awesome reviews about this product and the lady at the counter said it would be a perfect shade for me. It is a coral-peach with gold pearl frost, but doesn't come off shimmery or glittery which I was worried about! Applies easily and definitely has staying power. With a tan it makes an instant glow and I have been using it every day since I got it. Around $20 and well worth it! I was also thinking about picking up MAC's Fleur Power next, any thoughts or suggestions?!

light up the night

The majority of items in my apartment are from HomeGoods, which would have to be one of my favorite home decor stores. Very affordable and well made furniture, wall art, bedding, you name it they practically have it all. From antiques to modern art, the possibilities are endless in this store.

One of my most recent finds is a vintage shutter that is a distressed gray color. I bought it for around $35. I also added a string of white lights around it and at night time it looks amazing!

I also featured it on the HomeGoods website if you'd like to take a look! http://www.homegoods.com/finds/2012/02/27/new-customer-find-by-lexi-kay/

Turquoise and Caicos by Essie has always been one of my go to nail colors. It comes off as a deep Tiffany teal, but photographs much brighter with the flash on. Takes about three coats and is definitely a must for spring!

it's about time!

I've had this blog for awhile now and have finally decided it's about time to get it up and running! If you are randomly coming across this blog, here's a little bit about myself. I'm a 21 year old college student living in the Sunshine State. Currently majoring in Psychology and Criminal Justice with a minor in Behavioral Forensics. Fashion, photography, and traveling would have to be three of my favorite things in life. Pretty much what this blog is going to consist of! In my spare time you can find me horseback riding, writing, at the beach, just livin' life. As for the name of my blog, I pretty much live in denim. So click that little button on the left and follow me! :)
