Feminine Black & White Dress

by Rachel Barkules

Dress: BCBG, also similar style here / Shoes: Kate Spade (similar style under $100) / Bag: Old, similar here / Earrings: Kendra Scott / Lip: MAC ‘Real Doll’ Lipstick

This dress is one of my favorite dresses I have ever worn, I know… bold statement!  But it really is!  I love the simplicity of the black and white with a few pops of color.  While the cut and style is so ultra feminine and girly.  The dress flows so elegantly when I walk.  And the black waistband cinches in the waist (and it’s elastic so it’s super comfortable!).

I brought this dress with me to Dallas and didn’t know what jewelry I was going to wear with it.  The day before I received these earrings from Kenda Scott, and they look so perfect!  Now I can’t imagine this dress without these beautiful earrings.

This dress is so perfect for any occasion this summer.  I also love the idea of carrying a pink clutch to pull out the pink in the dress with a pink lip.  It makes the look more fun, plus I’m obsessed with this pink clutch and I think everyone should have it in their life!

Fresh Spring Look

by Rachel Barkules

Jacket: Hinge / Top: Old, similar here, here / Jeans: Frame / Bag: Rebecca Minkoff / Shoes: Sam Edelman / Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs

I just discovered this place right by my house.  Literally, it takes me 5 minutes to get here… how did I now know about it before?  It’s so beautiful!  I can’t wait to see what it looks like in the summer.  We are all enjoying the warmer weather we have been having lately.  It’s so nice to get outside without heavy winter coats and feel the sunshine.  Have a great Monday and an amazing week!

Skin Care Steps Everyone Must Do

by Rachel Barkules

skincare must do steps

I often get asked “what are the steps I absolutely have to do in my skincare routine?”.  I think this is a great question.  For so many, you don’t want to spend a lot of time, or spend a lot of money on skincare products, or you just don’t know where to start in this big world of skincare.

Taking good care of your skin is so important.  Your face is the first thing everyone sees about you, it’s your first impression.  And you want to always put your best foot forward (or best face forward :) )  Whether you are a simple girl or just starting a skincare routine, here are my must do skincare steps that every single person should be doing.
