Spring Showers: The Perfect Rainboots

Shirt: Lilly Pulitzer Shorts: J. Crew Shoes: Hunter

Today I am super excited to do a collaboration with Cat from Class Meets Couture! We decided to do posts about rainboots because the spring brings a lot of little rain showers. The pictures above show a cute and fun way to style rainboots on drab days with florals and brighter colors. Make sure you go check out Cat's post through the link about. Her style is adorable and she was fabulous to work with!

My boots are the Hunter tall original gloss rainboots in the color graphite. I have gotten so much use out of these and there are endless ways to style them. Do you have a favorite outfit to wear with your rainboots for getting through these spring showers?

Love always,

Netflix Lately

Let's be real, when people say life lately it's more like Netflix lately. Am I the only one? As soon as one show is finished I am on the prowl for the next one. Two shows I have recently watched are Don't Trust the B**** in Apartment 23 and Drop Dead Diva. 

Don't Trust the B**** in Apartment 23 is about a girl named June who moves to New York and as soon as she gets there loses her job and fiancee. The girl she moves in with is named Chloe and she will do whatever it takes to get June to move out. They eventually become best friends and the shows displays all the crazy stuff they get into. There are two seasons on Netflix and I don't think they will be making anymore seasons. It is absolutely hilarious and if you are looking for a short show to watch you should consider this one!

Drop Dead Diva is much longer and I love it! I am on season 2 out of 6 right now. In summary the show is about a girl named Deb who dies, but returns to Earth and is now in the body of the main character Jane. Only two people know this and they are Deb's best friend Stacy and her guardian angel Fred. The show is Deb trying to figure out her life as Jane. Jane even works with Deb's about to be fiancee Grayson. If this sounds interesting you should check it out. I have just eaten it up and binge watched it!

Have you watched any good Netflix shows lately?

Recent Purchases

I have been buying a handful of new things to get ready for spring break and I thought I would show y'all what I've been picking up! 

1. To start with I bought two of these bandeau tops from Target. I got one in leopard and one in black. Neutrals, am I right? These two will go with any solid pair of bikini bottoms I have now and will be perfect for long days on the beach for spring break and summer. The front of the top look like the bandeaus from Victoria's Secret, but the straps on the back give it a different twist. 

2. Recently on my college campus Birkenstock sandals are making a come back. At first I really did not think they were for me. I thought they would be too chunky on my feet, but I tried on the style with two straps and the toe straps. I got them in the black leather and they are very cute if I do say so myself! I bought mine at Dillard's, but you can find them at DSW, Belk, Rack Room, or the Birkenstock store. You can see the exact pair I got on my Instagram! (@honeybee_kelsey)

3. On iTunes I ordered the new Luke Bryan Spring Break Checkin' Out album. I have all of his other springs break albums and I am very sad this is the last one he will be making because the songs usually hold such good memories after I listen to them on repeat all spring break long. If you haven't heard any of the new songs you need to go check them out! My favorite song on the album is Games.

4. The last thing I got is a 34 oz. Bubba Keg. These mugs are perfect for the days when you don't leave the beach until it's time to go back in to shower for dinner. I can't wait to use mine next week.

Have you picked anything up for spring break or spring in general? Share in the comments below.

Spring Break Beauty Essentials

So I did my post about my spring break essentials and realized I missed a huge part of my essentials! That is the beauty part... if  you didn't notice from the title haha. Let's get started here are my spring break beauty essentials:

1. Chapstick with SPF: it is super important to make sure your lips don't get burned. That is probably one of the first burns you can get so be weary.

2. Tinted Moisturizer: tinted moisturizer is perfect for the days on the beach where you just want a little coverage. My favorite is the Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisture. It has SPF too which is always good.

3. Aloe Lotion: for after the beach aloe lotion is the way to go. The gel is not even comparable to lotion. The lotion is much better for all skin types. There is no greasy residue and you can get on with  your day,

4. Face Sunscreen: I have found the best luck in using a different sunscreen that is specifically for my face. The Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen does not break you out easily while offering the protection your face needs from the sun. I have carried this in my beach bag since freshman year. It's sort of expensive, but totally worth it. You can buy it at Target and drugstores.

5. Waterproof Mascara: This one may seem obvious, but finding the perfect waterproof mascara can actually be challenging. My current favorite is the Maybelline Falsies Waterproof Mascara. I use this everyday and have found it is great for long wear which is needed for sitting out on the beach all day.

6. Bronzer: Typically when you go to the beach you get darker. Perhaps your foundation doesn't match so perfectly anymore. This is where bronzer comes in. It is the ideal beauty product for the beach because it makes your skin tone more even when you are going out to dinner when you actually have to/want to wear makeup. I recommend the NARS bronzer in the color laguna.
