Okay wait… I was NOT expecting to love this this Okay wait… I was NOT expecting to love this this much 😍💄

Trying the Jelly Balm Hydrating Lip Color in In The Buff from @LauraGellerBeauty for the first time and sharing my real reaction 👀

• First swipe = SO smooth + cushiony 💕�• Sheer nude-pink color that’s super wearable ✨�• Feels really hydrating (like instantly!) 💧�• Glossy, juicy shine without being sticky 🙌

I did a quick hand swatch + tried it on and… yep, this is going straight in my everyday makeup bag 💁‍♀️

Have you tried Laura Geller Beauty before?!

Spring layers are officially having their moment a Spring layers are officially having their moment and I’m loving this combo from Maohao on Amazon! 🤍✨

This cropped trench is such a fun twist on the classic style. The funnel neck and extra-long removable belt make it feel a little more elevated, but still easy to throw on for everyday wear.

And underneath… this soft fuzzy sweater that might be the coziest thing ever. ☁️

It’s the kind of outfit that feels polished but still comfortable enough for a full day out.

Do you like the cropped trench trend this spring? 🌷

One of the most fun things about this dress… I a One of the most fun things about this dress… I actually got to customize it myself! 👗✨

When @tale_thread reached out, I loved the idea of designing a dress that fit exactly how I wanted it to. The process was surprisingly easy and so fun!

Here’s what I chose for my dress:

🎀 Neckline: V-neck�💪 Sleeves: Elbow length�✨ Hemline: Above the knee

When the dress arrived, I was honestly so impressed with the quality and how perfectly the customization turned out. It’s such a cute, flattering dress for the spring and I love that you can design the details to fit your own style. ☀️🌸

I shared the customization process in this reel so you can see how it works! You can also find more details https://bit.ly/46Pw9CG or in my profile. 💕
