A Year Of Style

So I am a little behind on this. I actually wanted to post it New Years Day and had most of it written but but time just got away from me and I wanted to proof it before I published it. Anyway, better late than never right?! So this is a collaboration of what I had written and what I added. Hope you enjoy it and check out some of my favorite finds and articles from each month!!

When the new year is approaching and I get my new desk calendar, I like to flip threw before I toss it and remember what all has happened in the past year. What events I have attended, what trips I've gone on. It's makes me feel like I have had a great year even if there have been things that have gone wrong or made me sad, seeing those highlights makes me smile and look forward to all the things that will fill the new blank calendar on my desk!

So here is a look back at my highlights from InStyle Magazine from 2017:

My mom got this for me for my Birthday last year and I am obsessed with it! Dior makeup products (in general) have never let me down. Their Lip Maximizer and their Lip Balm (chap stick) are just 2 of their products that I really enjoy using!

February 2017

Favorite Find from February: http://www.instyle.com/celebrity/victorias-secret-street-style-models-angels I am totally inspired by these glam gals street styles! Whether it's just something that grabs my attention from Josephine Skriver's red jacket and OTK boots or Lais Ribeiro's simple crop top/skirt combo. They will all give you a spark of inspo for the season! Side note, I LOVE the cover from this month!! I am SO inspired to find a dress like Gwen's!!

March 2017

Favorite Find from March: http://www.instyle.com/beauty/health-fitness/post-workout-beauty-products#1634238 I love my workouts!! I do weights 3 times a week and try to run 2-3 times a week, on the days I don't do weights. So I included ALL of these post workout beauty products because I know how easy it can be to skip a workout because you have an event to attend later that evening and you know you are going to get sweaty working out. I typically will shower if there is time but if not wipes are your best friend! I try not to mess up my makeup so there is little to correct; I am very lucky I don't sweat a lot or easily, lol.

April 2017

Favorite Find from April: http://www.instyle.com/news/katherine-heigl-crazy-ex-wife-unforgettable-trailer So I had completely forgotten about this movie! I still want to see it!!

May 2017

Favorite Find from May: http://www.instyle.com/news/jennifer-lopez-updo-hair-american-idol I always feel like "messy hair" is always in style! It almost has to be with winter hats messing it up, summer heat and activities forcing you to pull it back and workouts and busy life encouraging that piled on top your head look. J.Lo.'s "messy look" is far from "messy" but I love it!

June 2017

Favorite Find from June: (besides this gorgeous dress)
http://www.instyle.com/beauty/skin/elf-beauty-shield-recharging-magnetic-mask-review
I am honest when I say that I have not gotten a chance to try this magnetic mask from E.L.F. but it is on my shopping list! I have may products from E.L.F. they are a very affordable and reliable brand! This is definitely something I want to get my hands on!!

July 2017

Favorite Find from July: CAKE BREAK!!! http://www.instyle.com/recipes/brooklyn-blackout-cake-recipe Gotta love this chocolate overload cake recipe!! If you love this check out some of the other things I have pinned on my "Desserts Board" https://www.pinterest.com/junebride1/

August 2017

Favorite Find from August: http://www.instyle.com/beauty/beauty-products-tools/skin-care-makeup-celebrities-use#3013523 I couldn't agree with Taylor Hill's statement (#9) about the glimmer cream! Whether it's in the gloom of winter or the sunny days of summer (when people wear less makeup anyway, shimmer is one thing I always have in my makeup bag).

September 2017

Favorite Find from September: http://www.instyle.com/hair/hair-color/color-melting-highlights-hair-color-trend Still loving this trend!! I have a good feeling it will be "IN" for a while!!

October 2017

Image result for october 2017 instyle magazine
Favorite Find from October: http://www.instyle.com/fashion/accessories/shop-alternative-pearl-earrings Pearls are one of my classic faves! There is something about them that is "always in style" and no matter where you are going, work, the art museum, happy hour, a rock concert, they always seem to fit in!

November 2017
Image result for november 2017 instyle magazine
Favorite Find from November:  http://www.instyle.com/lifestyle/travel/stylish-luggage-travel-accessories#3141333 If you missed my post "Travel Lightly" go back and check it out! This was one of my favorite reads from November because it talked about my other passion...traveling! I love travel gear and of course anything to make life easier is on everyone's list.

December 2017

Favorite Find from December: http://www.instyle.com/news/3-ways-remove-your-gel-manicure-without-going-salon As you might have seen from my posts I lived in fake nails over the Holidays. I did not have the time nor the patients to deal with chipped polish or broken nails. Luckily I remembered some tricks for removing the nails so I could apply new ones and keep my sanity through the season, lol. If you don't want to destroy your nails by picking at them check out this article from December!

My Little Bathroom Nook

              My little bathroom nook is finally complete! We been in the cottage for 5 months now and when we moved in it was the beginning of the shut downs so it was like just get moved in and deal with getting settled later! When we moved in it was a plane storage closet with the electrical box. I can't even remember if we had shelves or not. We purchased a little plastic 3 drawer storage box on wheels from Meijer and that was about it. We put an accordion door on it so we could close it (out of sight when we had guests). But honestly mid party I would realize we had forgotten to close it and our junk was still in sight! So here we are several months later, about to start on the main house but at least I finally finished this to enjoy the last few months or so while we are still living in the cottage! Pink Washcloths from Target because our old ones met  their fate from a pen in the washing machine. DIY TIP: If you have a bottle that you...

My Little Gray Cape (Trench Coat)

I am LOVING this cape for Fall! When I bought it I thought, 'ok this is going to be cute for the beginning of Fall when it's not super cold, then I'll have to layer sweaters under it and still wear a coat.' But just wearing it for the short time we did this shoot I was sweating! It's perfect for Fall nights, long car rides, plane rides, anything where it gets chilly but you want to be able to throw it off to use your arms. I can't wait to wrap up in it all Fall/Winter long and be nice and cozy! It also comes in Black so I may have to own 2 bc I have a feeling this will be a staple piece in my wardrobe! (Perfect too for formal occasions, verses a coat; yep definitely need it in black!)                                                                                  ...

Mad Hatter Tea Party

Friday night I was invited to an event hosted by Pyramid Hill/Sculpture Park. Australian Artist Amanda Parer displayed 3 of her 5 rabbit sculptures of art entitled "Intrude" at the park; the other 2 were in downtown Cincinnati for the "Blink" light show this past weekend.                                                                                                                The tea party began quite ironically, we were running late due to traffic, so the term "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date" was thrown around as we hurried to get there. Once we arrived, we were greeted by the Mad Hatter (aka DJ Christopher Gaines from Jam Entertainment LLC) playing an mad mix of tun...
