• Abercrombie Color Block + More

    Click any of the images above to view and/or shop! I had no idea I would be such a sucker for color block. But I am! I will buy almost anything color block. One caveat… the color contrasts MUST be dramatic. I think I am a dramatic person who feels a lot, so I like my outfit to represent that to an extent. I love the drama between the golden color and the white. Also, I never thought I would ever buy anything in brown, but here I am! And I am loving it!!! This midi sweater skirt is also something I would not usually buy specifically given the length,…

  • Casual Birthday Look #1

    For my day look, I chose to go with a designer-inspired tee and my super comfy shorts. I layered the outfit with a black bomber jacket to complete the look. The tee is unbelievably soft, and I love that it has a skull on it. Love skulls! It is true to size, and I’m in an XS. The shorts, I wear all the time, and I’ve shown them on here countless times. This exact tee is sold out online, but I linked a very similar one. Plus, there are so many other designer-inspired tees to choose from. Also, couldn’t leave the house without my Gucci Sunglasses, obvi. Use code CARISSACRUSE…

  • Birthday Outfits: a Two Part Event

    Click any image above to view and/or shop! This year’s birthday required two outfits, like most birthdays! Lol! I needed a day look that was more casual for voting and getting lunch and then a nighttime look for bowling and dinner. For the evening, my husband made reservations to go bowling and then go to my birthday dinner after that. So, I needed an outfit that would fit both occasions and transition well. I found the little number above at a boutique in Houston, but they have a website. So you’re in luck! The pants are a looser, slinky material with a slit up the leg going to about mid-calf.…

    Billie Skincare Products

    Click on any image above to view and/or shop! I had been looking to cleanup my medicine cabinet for awhile now. I have tried so many different skincare products that it didn’t seem like much to try another one. LOL! Enter Billie. I was first drawn to it because of the dry shampoo. It’s called “Floof,” which that name alone would make me try it. But it shakes out instead of sprays out. I like this because I would imagine there are chemicals added to the spray dry shampoos that aren’t in Billie’s. And I’m not looking to add harmful ingredients onto my head. I also really like that they…

  • Target Try-On: Halloween-inspired Sweatshirts

    Click any image above to view and/or shop! Unfortunately, I won’t be dressing up for Halloween this year, so instead, I wanted to find a fun alternative to a costume like these sweatshirts. I absolutely adore Snoopy, so that was an obvious choice. And I equally love skull and crossbones. I can wear the skull and crossbones sweatshirt year-round, and I intend to. The materials are so soft, and they are true to size. I’m wearing a size XS, and they are each only $19.99. Can’t beat that price! Enjoy! XOXO Do you feel influenced yet? (follow me @carissa_cruse)
