Our Engagement Pictures

August 19, 2015 by Elyse

White Dress: From local boutique in Miami | Vintage Dress: Anthropologie (it’s a couple months old, but there are some gorgeous similar options HERE and on sale!)

I know it’s been a while since I have been on here. I’m sorry. It has been a crazy couple months graduating school, starting a new job, moving in together for the first time and wedding planning. I finally had some time to post our engagement pictures. They were taken in Matheson Hammock Park in Coral Gables by the most wonderful Rosie of Dolce Photography. If you are in the market for an amazingly talented wedding photographer, definitely check her out. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

Turquoise and Tan

May 5, 2015 by Elyse

I was so excited to accessorize these new stunning jewels from the new 2015 Via Maya Kendra Scott collection! The whole collection is inspired from Kendra Scott’s travels to Tulum and the ancient Maya Ruins. I’m telling you, this is the most unique and gorgeous jewelry collection I have ever seen! You have to check out the entire collection HERE. If I could own every piece in the collection, I would be one happy girl. I was so excited to also pair my other all time favorite gold bracelet from SoCal gems (which by the way is only $11 right now!!) with my Kendra pieces. This bracelet literally goes with everything. My go-to arm party these days is my watch, this bracelet and this bracelet. And let’s not forget this totally gorgeous and functional dress…it literally comes in every color under the rainbow too! You must check it out! I shot these pics in the Keys, and it was the perfect amount of casual for the daytime and still be able to dress it up to wear for night time too.

Have an awesome day my beauty girls!!

From work to play with Estée Lauder…

March 31, 2015 by Elyse

I decided to show you guys my outfit that I wear over 40 hours a week, my scrubs! Some of you guys may already know but those of you who don’t, I’m a nurse in Labor and Delivery and I’m just about done with Master’s in Nursing this May. When Estee Lauder approached me to try out their Double Wear Stay-in-Place foundation and Double Wear Stay-in-Place Powder…I knew exactly how I wanted to put it to the test! I work 12 hours shifts that involve running around, sweating, taking off and putting on surgical masks…well you get the picture! A foundation and powder that can hold up after all that definitely deserves the creds. A lot of the times when I get out of work (like the day I actually shot these pics), I usually have plans to grab a quick mid-week dinner with my fiancé or cocktails with my girlfriends (if it’s Girls Night Out…hehe!). Since I get home around 7:30 or 8 pm, I really don’t have much time to retouch my makeup. So having the Stay-in-Place powder worked out perfect for a quick refresh! I am so happy to know I can rely on Estee Lauder to really “stay-in-place” and keep me ready to go from work to play. If you are on the market for a new foundation, especially for the warmer Summer months, I definitely recommend you try Estee Lauder Stay-in-Place.

In case you are curious, my shade is 1C1 Cool Bone and I have Combination Oily to Dry skin and it held up beautifully and did not make me oily or breakout at all! I also got the perfect color match with their unique iMatch system which scans your skin to make sure you get the perfect color foundation and powder to match your unique skin tone.

Stripes and Turquoise

March 24, 2015 by Elyse

Dress: Old Navy / Jacket: Old Navy / Wedges: Jessica Simpson / Earrings: sold out from Bauble Bar but similar here and similar here (love them!) / Purse: bought from Gilt City Warehouse but very similar here, here, and super cute affordable version here / Watch: Michael Kors / Bracelet: David Yurman / Lips: MAC Please Me

I have been crushing on Old Navy really hard these days! I guess you already know that since this is the second post in a row featuring Old Navy…oops! Well I am loving this super comfy striped shift dress and washed denim jacket combo. I wore this on my girls trip to the Keys this weekend and was so happy in it. I also loved adding a pop of color with these turquoise earrings. I hope you guys had a great weekend and have a great Tuesday! Thanks for reading.

I wore this casual and super comfy outfit on a mall date with my Mom this weekend. I had been on the hunt for a dark wash chambray and finally found it at Old Navy for $25! I also found these super awesome wedges from Emily at The Sweetest Thing (if you haven’t checked her out, she’s has the cutest blog!). They are have quickly become my go-to wedges! They are the perfect color brown. I love them so much, I’m thinking about getting them in black too! Oh boy. My fiancé and and I are trying to save up for an apartment…promise not to tell him ok?!

Have a great week everyone!
