Customizable Shampoo + Conditioner Giveaway

November 4, 2018November 4, 2018Leave a comment

I have always struggled with my hair… it’s too thin, it has split ends, it gets oily, the list goes on and on. I’m sure you have a list of your hair’s problems, too! But, I’m also sure your list looks a little different than mine. Every girl’s hair is UNIQUE and different, so why should our hair care products all be the same? Formulate is a hair care line that allows you to create your OWN hair care products, specific to the needs of your hair. When I stumbled upon this company I was so amazed that you could literally customize your own shampoo and conditioner. I took a short quiz that described my hair, what my hair needs were, and what scent I preferred. Formulate then sent me my shampoo and conditioner based on the results.

Click here to see what I specified for my hair needs + to ENTER THE GIVEAWAY!

This company is always sulfate, paraben and cruelty free. I have been using it for a few weeks and can already notice positive changes to my hair. I hope everyone has a great week + good luck on the giveaway!!!

2018 Fall Shoe Trends

September 18, 2018September 18, 2018Leave a comment

Happy Tuesday, lovelies! While I know the temperatures don’t necessarily indicate that it’s fall, the first day of fall is less than a week away (September 22nd)!! I am sharing a few of the must-have fall shoe trends for 2018, all of them under $100 (with the exception of one pair. See if you can spot them!!!!:)

Shop my complete look here:

Over-the-knee boots are still in, PRAISE THE LORD! I love how flattering + fun they are to wear. Here’s some of my fav’s under $100:

Animal prints are trending… Like, if you don’t have leopard in your closet this fall, you may be the only one! Heres a few of my fav animal print styles:

Ankle boots are still a thing, especially if they’re white with a chunky heel. The more “out-there” the color, the better. I’ve rounded up some of my favorites for the “everyday girl.”

Sock booties. Are they a sock? Are they a boot? The world may never know. What we do know, though, is that they are super comfortable + I am going to need more of these in my life.

Sneakers. While I am usually very preppy with my style, I also love a good sneaker. Sneaker wedges are also one of my all-time favorites! I am so happy I finally discovered them + gave them a try this season. You should, too!!

As always, comment or dm me with any questions. I love to help <3

Game Day Outfit Inspo

Today is the start of college football and I am SOOOO pumped!! If you know me, you know I am an avid college football fan. There is nothing I love more than a cute game day outfit. The two most requested schools were USC & Clemson. I’ve got you covered for all your outfit inspo needs. I will start with summer-fall transition pieces and then gradually move into more fall/winter items. I know the first few games are always blazing hot and I want nothing more than to be wearing a light dress! Also, most of these items are on sale for Labor Day so make sure to shop them quickly before they’re gone!

Coziest Fall Sweater

August 28, 2018August 28, 2018Leave a comment

Hi Lovelies!

Last week we got a little taste of fall with cooler temperatures and that got me so excited for all things fall: sweaters, booties, hot chocolate & most importantly the cold! I recently got this cream color cardigan from Roots and Sparrows online boutique, and let me tell ya’ll, it is amazing. So fuzzy, cozy, and the perfect fit! I wanted it a little oversized, so I am wearing a size medium.

Shop it here for only $35:

Shop the rest of my look here:

-my free people jeans are $35 in select sizes

-dupe for my shoes are $17

I know I have been pretty absent on Instagram and lovelybeks.com recently… and I am so so sorry about that!! I just wanted to give a quick update on what I have been up to!

First, I began my job in the ICU and I have loved it so far. It is the most challenging obstacle I have taken on, but I have learned so much. And only in 3 weeks!! I am so excited for the rest of my nursing career.

Next, Holden and I went apartment shopping and after touring manyyy places, we finally settled on the perfect place. I get the city feel I wanted and he gets the location he wanted! It is in the cutest shopping center with a barre studio, Chuy’s, Whole Food, Panera, and a Haagen Daas. Sooo, yes I will be needing to frequent that barre studio😉

I plan to post a whole blog post on the process of decorating the apartment and the finished product 🙂

I will be moving in towards the end of September, and then Holden will move in after our wedding 🙂 Speaking of our wedding, we ran into a few hiccups in the planning process and are still trying to work through them… I would so appreciate a prayer that everything works out!

Sometimes it is so hard to trust in God’s plan. A friend recently shared that we should not worry about things that are out of our control. And this resonated so much with me. I tend to overthink situations and stress myself out. But really, God wants us to trust in Him. So I am making this my personal goal for the week.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Other fun things happening in my life:

I am going to be an AUNT!! I am so excited!! I am one of twelve kids, but surprisingly, this will be my first niece/nephew! Of course, she will be spoiled by everyone in my family. I am already beginning to shop for allll the pink and frilly dresses!

I am hoping that when I move into my own place I can begin to prioritize blogging again, take more pictures, find more sales, and give y’all the content you want. Thanks for sticking with me and supporting me. It means the world.

XOXO

The Cutest Wedge Sneakers

July 26, 2018July 26, 2018Leave a comment

Y’ALL. How cute are these wedge sneakers? Now, I saw these last year but didn’t know if I was quite into the wedge sneaker trend yet. But, I have officially joined the train. These are such an easy way to dress up any athleisure look. Not to mention, they are SO comfortable! I can already tell I am going to be living in these this fall!

I am linking the suede ones I have from the #nsale which are on sale for $30 off! However, right now they are sold out in most sizes. BUT, you can buy them now not in your size and when the sale is over and they have re-stocked you can exchange them for your size! (I plan to exchange mine for the correct size & the nude color!) They are true to size! I have heard they stretch a little, so if they are snug at first that is OK!

I am also linking these which are super similar from the same designer & a little more affordable!

These are super similar but have the cutest side zipper, are not on sale, BUT are fully stocked! (the grey suede are on sale for $59 in select sizes)

HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

July 25, 2018Leave a comment

If you got the chance to watch my stories today, you got to see a sneak peek of these super cute leggings (and also that I almost got caught in a torrential downpour of rain!!!!) I was so excited to find them on sale for 50% off in the spring, that I accidentally got the navy blue color (the lighting in the boutique was darkkkk ok!??!:) Anyway, I still love them and will be rocking them all fall, winter, spring, anddd summer long!

Shop them here or by clicking the picture below! (for sizing: I am wearing a size small but would rather be in a Medium)

I am linking a more affordable, NON-faux-leather, pair here!

This adorable tee is on sale for $10 today & comes in white, black, olive, & cranberry! It is the perfect linen blend shirt to carry you into fall & layer with a cozy cardigan. I am wearing a size small, but could easily do a medium for a more oversized look!

As always, if you have any sizing questions, or just wanna chat, send me a DM or comment on this post!

Favorite False Eyelashes

July 17, 2018July 17, 2018Leave a comment

Hi lovelies, I hope everyone has had a great start to their week. I am so sorry I have been a bit absent from the blog. I spent allll day Monday moving out of my college house. I had a bit more stuff left than I originally thought😉!!! Luckily for me, my sisters are the absolute best and came to help me out. It was a mad dash to finish in time; we literally gathered up the last of my belongings just as the cleaning ladies pulled up! While it is so bittersweet about leaving college, I am beyond excited to start this next chapter in my life!

Now on to the purpose of this blog post… Recently I have been getting a lot of questions about my eyelashes! I have been using THESE for the past month and a half.

I was never really a fake eyelash type of girl, just because, to be honest, I am not very skilled at putting them on. But y’all — these magnetic eyelashes are game changers!!! Once you get the hang of getting them on, they become such an easy way to enhance your look. Currently, I wear the demi wispies, which are a bit dramatic, but perfect for special occasions + heavily photographed moments.

However, I just bought THESE, which are perfect for an everyday basis. I think they are such a great option when your eyelashes need a break from mascara or you just want a quicker application option with an easier removal.

Since they are a bit tricky to put on when you first begin, here are a few tips to help make the process a little smoother:

Cut off one (or more) magnet piece from the edge of both the top and bottom lash. This ensures that they are not too long for your eye.
Put on a thin coat of mascara before putting on the eyelashes. This helps to give the falsies some texture to adhere to.
Let the mascara dry completely before applying the fake eyelashes. This will ensure you get the most wears of your eyelashes (I have worn mine over 10 times and they are still going strong!)
Most importantly, don’t get discouraged if you have trouble the first few attempts. It took me a week of trying to finally perfect applying them.. but trust me, they are still so much easier than using traditional fake eyelashes with glue, and look amazing!

If you end up getting these, send me pictures and let me know how you like them! If you get them and have trouble with the application process, send me a DM or an email and I will be more than happy to help you❤️

XOXO
