Top Trend Tuesday: Rompers & Jumpsuits

It's time for another "Top Trend Tuesday" Post! I am currently "craving" rompers & jumpsuits. I have always been a fan of dresses, and this is a great substitute. Keeping it classy is important though! Don't forget to style them correctly, and choose a color or pattern that is flattering to your body type. The following are some of my favorite styles & colors… 

Motel jumpsuits romper
Gosh, I adore this one! I love both the color and style. The longer sleeves are a nice twist, and the pink goes great with turquoise or gold. I would wear a chunky necklace with this romper, something like this statement necklace: 

Kendra Scott statement necklace

Topshop romper

I have a black romper already, but I really like this one because the neckline is so unique. You could do a lot with this style, but I think it would look best with black shoes, and some simple diamond studs and a cocktail ring. 

Yves Saint Laurent black sandals

ALDO ring

Topshop romper
I can't get enough of mint this spring! I love the simple style of this romper from Topshop. I think dangling earrings with a pop of color would look great with this romper. 

Wal G romper

This is a great shade of green, it is perfect for a more casual occasion. I would wear this with a gold watch and gold accessories.

Kate Spade gold jewelry

Petals sleeveless romper

Another great color! I also adore this collar with the embellished jewels.

Topshop romper
Peach and coral are great summer colors, and the black lace sleeves are a classier take on this romper. Great with dangling earrings and black shoes…

Topshop earrings

AX Paris jumpsuits romper

Turquoise is a color that looks good on so many women. This style is also great for a lot of different body types.  If you want something more casual, you could dress it down with a jean jacket and sandals. I really like wearing gold with turquoise, like this necklace…

 Here are some more ways to style rompers & Jumpsuits… 

Jumpsuits are becoming more and more popular. I have one from ASOS, and I love it. You can style them in a very similar way as a short romper, but make sure your shoes work with the pant length! 

Here are some fun pink rompers that I love for spring & summer. 

Some great sites for buying rompers are:
Saboskirt.com
Lulus.com
Forever21.com
Topshop.com

You can find some really fun prints & styles when you keep your eyes open when shopping. I love long sleeve rompers for spring when it is still a little cooler outside. 

I hope you were inspired by these photos! I am definitely excited to add some more rompers & jumpsuits to my wardrobe, how about you? :)

Enjoy your week!

Much love,

My Spring To-Do List

Happy Thursday! Thank goodness Friday is just a little ways away, am I right? 

I was thrilled to find the sun shinning today.

And the warmer weather has finally started because it was 70 degrees outside! YAY! 

I found a great list on one of my favorite blogs, The Glitter Guide, the other day. They listed their spring to-do list, and this gave me a great idea to make my own, and also share some of the things I want to do over the next few months with all of you! 

Here is their list….

And here are some of the things I want to do this spring, I hope you will have a chance to do them too!

I have several books on my to-read list, but I really want to read Rachel Zoe's new book "Living in Style." it sounds so good!

I want to spend more time exercising. I want to do more yoga, bike riding etc. And I also want to start eating more fruits & veggies. I want to get ready for swimsuit season, while also having fun exercising & eating well.

 It is a great time to go through your home & clean things from top to bottom! I always do my spring cleaning in April, and I go through my clothes at this time as well. When going through the items I want to keep, I also spend time looking at blogs and Pinterest to get ideas for spring trends & new outfit inspirations. I took the pictures from today's post from Tumblr. I love looking at my site to get inspired when re-decorating or changing my wardrobe. 

(Check out my Tumblr page for more inspiring photos like these…. dreamalittledream4me.tumblr.com)

Don't forget to get outside, roll down your windows & let in the fresh breeze! It feels amazing after months of cold and cloudy weather. I like to eat outside at restaurants as often as I can in the spring and summer,
really take advantage of this when you can!

Try out new recipes, buy a bottle of wine you've never had before, 

make a fruity cocktail, buy fresh flowers to add to your coffee table...

Embrace the season through everything that you do! 

 



Now is also the perfect time to buy a cute new umbrella, a sweet floral fragrance, and a new shade of lipstick!   

I hope you enjoyed my list of spring to-do's! What are the things you love about spring? 

Much love, 

My Favorite Skin Care Products

Happy Tuesday! It is finally starting to feel like spring in Michigan, and my skin is very grateful for that! It can be so dry in the winter months, I have to fight to keep my skin hydrated. Luckily, I have perfected my skin treatment over the years, and I thought that I would share my favorite skin care products, for both my face & body!

Face Routine:

Clarisonic dop kit

My favorite item EVER bought for my skin, is my Clarisonic Mia. I bought mine from Sephora, and  I have seen an incredible change in my complexion! It was a little pricy, but EXTREMELY worth it! I use this every day, usually only before bed. Sometimes I use it in the shower, or in the morning before I do my makeup, depending on my skin's needs. You can use any cleanser with it! $125

Murad Acne Clearing Solution

I have been using this face wash for over a year now, and I really love it. I rarely have issues with acne anymore, but this takes care of those random pop up pimples before they can get too out of control. $25

Mario Badescu Skin Care foaming facial cleanser
I love this facial cleanser. I bought it at Ulta when i ran out of my Murad cleanser. This works just as well, but I ran out of it quicker. I like to switch between the two cleansers, because they are both pretty gentle but very effective. $15

Olay 7 Effects Moisturizer

I bought this just last week at Target. The coolest part of this moisturizer, is that it adds a slight tan glow to your skin! I put this on before bed, and i like it so far! $15

Burts Bees moisturizer

I put this on before bed sometimes as well. I love Burts Bees! $8

Korres face care

This moisturizer is a little more expensive, but is lasts for a long time! I use this before putting on my makeup, because it hides pores, and smells heavenly! $35

Cleansing clay mask

I can't emphasize enough how much I LOVE LUSH. They have every beauty product you could think of, and they are completely natural & don't test on animals! They have amazing products for both men and women. I love their face masks. They make them fresh and they run from $6-$20.  

Facial cleansing mask

My favorite mask from LUSH is their chocolate mask. It literally smells like chocolate, and I have to hold myself back from wanting to eat it! It feels great on your skin, and does a miracle on your complexion. 

Body Routine:

Philosophy bubble bath and body wash 

I love having a flowery sent in the shower, and I love Philosophy, so this is the best of both worlds! $23

Bobbi Brown 

My favorite trick for moisturizing is using body oil! If you don't want to spend money on the more expensive oils, baby oil by johnson & johnson works just as well! $25

Bath Bomb 

Bath bombs are my favorite thing to buy for a bubble bath. LUSH sells the coolest bath bombs, and they smell amazing! My favorite sent is twilight. I can't get enough! They turn your bath water into cool shades, some of them look like there is a  firework show in your tub! :) $5

Sunny Side

Lush also carries a bath bomb that is covered in glitter. Need I say more?

Library of Flowers eau de perfume

I discover this brand over the summer at a cute local shop. They carry great products, and I love the smell of their lotion. I use this after getting out of the bath or shower, and it leaves my skin silky smooth and smelling fabulous! $20

Well, that sums up my current beauty favorites! I hope you enjoyed my list & I hope you have a chance to try some of my favorite skin care products out. 

Have a wonderful week! 

My Workout Essentials

Hello, Ladies! I want to share some of my workout essentials with you today. I have been trying to get into a better work out schedule for the past few months, and I have finally been doing a lot better this week! I think the easiest (and by far the most fun) part of working out is wearing cute, comfy clothes! I am someone who wears yoga pants on a regular basis, so having a legitimate reason for wearing them makes me very happy! :) I wanted to share some of my favorite stores for finding my workout needs…

I was at Old Navy yesterday & found so many cute items in their athletic department! I bought a shirt recently from there, and I love it. The best part is the prices! Their athletic gear runs from $5-$30! So when you have a chance, check out an Old Navy near you, or go on their website, oldnavy.com.

I have the same shirt that Damsel in Dior is wearing here from Old Navy.
(I LOVE this picture, she is a great blogger.)

One great thing about spring, is that the weather is finally nice enough to spend time exercising outside! I went for a run yesterday outside and it was amazing being in the fresh air again. I bought my Nike running  shoes last fall, and I have loved them so much. They are a very bright neon, so I feel more comfortable wearing them in the spring with my other bright shades, rather than in the winter when I wear mostly black and gray to the gym.

Nike has great shoes, check out their website for more colorful shoes for your workout this spring! nike.com

I also love the slogans & quotes from Nike.

Happily Grey is another blogger that I follow, and she just so happens to love Nike too!

Another store where I buy a lot of my clothes for working out, is Victoria's Secret. They have really expanded their VSX Sport line, and so many of their yoga pants and bras are really comfortable! I also love their seamless panties, which are perfect for yoga pants. They carry water bottles, hair ties, gym bags and more accessories as well!

Atheta is another great store for work out gear. It's a little bit more expensive, but they have great clothes! I also shop at TJ Maxx and Marshalls for a lot of my work out essentials. They have so many brand names for amazing prices! I even bought a yoga mat and exercise ball there. 

Don't forget to bring your iPhone and ear buds to the gym with you! I never forget my best music playlists to help make my workout more interesting. 

Here is my current favorite song to workout to:

"I Will Never Let You Down"

by: Rita Ora

You also don't want to forget your water! I am obsessed with these BKR water bottles.

(You can find them when clicking on the photo. And while your on the site, check out the other adorable items! )

I truly hoped you enjoyed this post! Keep watching for more workout inspired posts from me, I will share my favorite exercise routines & my workout schedule very soon. :) 

How To: Transition Your Wardrobe From Winter to Spring

It's April 1st! I can hardly believe that not only it's a new month, but that today marks my 1st month of blogging! I started March 1st, and I must say that I have loved every second of working on making Shop Jolie a blog that women everywhere can be inspired by. :) I thought today would be a good day to look at some ways you can start changing your winter wardrobe into your spring one! (YAY!) 

I for one, am extremely psyched to get rid of my boots & big coats and put on flats & skirts again. It takes a few weeks for the weather to transition into shorts wearing weather. 

So what should we wear in the meantime? The days can be so warm when the sun is shinning, but what do we wear at night when it gets chilly again? I have one word for you: Layering! 

I love wearing a jean jacket, or a long sleeve blouse instead of a bulky sweater with jeans. And if you are going to wear a sweater, I suggest pairing it with a long skirt & a statement necklace. You don't want to put your sweaters away quite yet. I actually just bought a cute lavender sweater at ZARA last week, and I can't wait to wear it with shorts or a maxi skirt. (Pictures soon to come!) 

Basically- the main tip I can give, is balance out your clothes. For example, either wear a light shirt with boyfriend jeans, or a jean jacket and long sleeve shirt with a shorter skirt. Another thing, put away your dark colors and bring out those pastels & brighter shades of pink! I am so sick of natural colors, such as black and brown taking over my wardrobe. However, if you do like wearing natural colors over bright ones, I suggest that you pick out some fun bright jewelry or pastel shoes! I love mixing a neutral color with subtle bright pops of color. Take a peek at some photos I found on Pinterest to help inspire some great spring looks! Happy Spring! 

I hope you were inspired by this post! Please feel free to leave your feedback in the comment section below. I appreciate any words of advice, and I am always happy to answer questions!
