Ran around with my cutie sister, a disposable camera and that sunset light. Got the prints back. This might be one of my favorite photos, ever. You can't even tell she was mad about being blinded. Lots more on my photo blog. Hope everyone has a great long weekend!

What's your favorite little mini dress?

In case you didn't know, it's the 14th of February guys. I'm just gonna go with the day's theme on this one, ok? I give you the "Anti-You" tee. Oh, you were expecting a "perfect date night outfit??" Sorry I'm not sorry. This tee goes perfect a healthy serving of grumpy cat memes. You used to be able to purchase said magnificent tee here but they're sold out because they love hate you. It's OK though, I still love you. 

Zara, man! Always been a go-to of mine great for basics and affordable, on-tread pieces. They're killin it in stores right now. I want e v e r y t h i n g. Lots of black and white, simple stuff with a twist of an athletic vibe (aka right up my alley.) The standout, gotta-have-it? This super awesome 3/4 sleeve tee shirt dress with gold stars.  It's like the classy version of an oversized sweatshirt. Has perfectly placed little pockets and is 100% cotton (for size purposes I don't recommend the dryer.) It's 60 bucks and works for day with some oversized sunnies, a top knot and vans or a night out with a fierce red lip and simple black heels (which, cough cough, Zara also happens to have the perfect pair HERE.) 

Zara, you totally get a gold star on this one...that and my money.  

I can't be the only one who has to pronounce "trousers" with an English accent everytime. 

Anyone??

buy the perfect leather trousers here

Pssst...Urban Outfitters has a pretty legit pleather version of these for sixty bucks. You're welcome.

For those of you that weren't aware, I'm Lithuanian. I look like it, speak it, read and write (OK, my writing is elementary level at best.) So as someone tremendously proud of my heritage, you could imagine my excitement in finding this linen sweater, handmade where??! Lithuania! It's light weight, slightly oversized and has a cool pattern. Oh and the it's the perfect classic "linen" color which blends seamlessly into a closet full of denim, neutral basics and leather. I'm totally obsessed and may or may not have just worn it everyday last week (shhhh.) 

I like to keep it simple. My closet is full of basics in neutral colors with dashes of leather and denim. Lately I've had quite the obsession with stripes. The perfect new staple in my closet? This American Apparel Striped Racerback Tank, is basically the best basic ever. The poly-blend is super comfy but more structured than the brand's "tri-blend" which makes it perfect for my fellow bra-less embracers. The stripes add a dash of Parisian cool and look great worn with some light wash vintage mom jeans and a pair of heeled ballet flats. At 32 bucks you might as well buy it in every stripe color combo. Basically, you're welcome.   

wear like this...

What's your go-to basic?

I've gotten a few emails recently asking for details about my skincare routine so...Here ya go! I'm no skincare expert but have definetley picked up some product favs and tips in between working with different makeup artists and experimenting on my own.  

Cleanser: I have slightly sensitive skin so I like to use a simple cleanser twice a day. Philosophy Purity Made Simple is a great sensitive skin cleanser with sage, chamomile and carrot. 

Toner: If my skin is acting up a bit or for a quick post-run cleanup I use Kiehl's Rosewater Facial Refresher Toner, it smells amazing and absorbs any trace of oil. I usually soak a cotton ball and swipe it across my forehead, nose and chin. I don't recommend this, however, for dry skin types.

Facial Mist: So I can't confirm that this has any "official" moisturizing properties but it's an amazing  pick me up mid day. Evian Mineral Water Spray is great for travel, your gym bag and purse for a nice mist of the French Alps anytime. 

Moisturizer: I went through an "I hate moisturizer" stage for a minute, refusing to put anything on my freshly cleansed face at night. That was until my face became so dry and started peeling (ew, I know). I walked into Sephora  begging for help and was introduced to Clinique Moisture Surge , aka unicorn tears, because seriously this stuff works magic on dry skin. I now use either this or Immortelle Precious Night Cream depending on the dryness of my skin, every night before bed. 

Lip Care: Who isn't obsessed with baby soft lips? My favorite lip balm, hands down, Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment. It goes on smooth and keeps lips hydrated forever. It's also SPF 15 which is great for avoiding sun damage and also comes in different color tints!

What's your go-to skincare product??
