If you haven't heard, LIVELY is the newest place online to find comfortable, stylish bras and underwear at reasonable prices. The brand sells bras and bralettes that are perfect for every day -like the t-shirt bra- as well as a few that are lovely for special occasions. And what's really awesome is that the sizes range from XS-L for some styles and all the way up to 38DDD in specialty styles. There is a fit guide on the website to help you figure out which size works best for your measurements. I've been wanting to try LIVELY for awhile now, and I finally decided to start with one of their simplest, most practical designs. I went with The Triangle Bralette in Heather Gray and so far, so good! Since I generally wear a 34A/34B, I ordered a size small. And even though this bra isn't meant to give your cleavage a boost, mine looked much bigger! (No, I'm not complaining.) And it is seriously sooo comfortable! My one and only complaint is that this bra is not...

Here in the south, gingham is a print most fashionistas have in their closet. And after snagging this adorable Stay Sweet Gingham Top from Bella Ella Boutique, I'm definitely going to be adding more of the print to my wardrobe! I love the ruffled style of this top and the way it gently floats away from my body. It's such a versatile piece that can be worn many different ways. This top can be paired with jeans, a skirt, capri pants or shorts. It works for lunch dates with the ladies or a casual night out with your fella. It's so feminine and yet so fun too! Here's a close up of the color and details. (Don't you just love the ruffles?) There's nothing like lounging in the southern summer sun. I already had a pair of royal blue suede pumps to wear with the top- and they matched perfectly . Score! Stay Sweet Gingham Top: Bella Ella Boutique (it looks like the blue is no longer available, but you can get it in a pretty pink here ) | J...

You guys- I'm so excited about this post! After nearly six years of having this blog, I finally found the perfect shirt to represent it. I was totally stoked when I stumbled upon this Kiss Me Lips Graphic Tee from The Pink Lily Boutique. It's absolutely perfect for a blog titled Leather & Lip Gloss! And so, here's how I chose to wear the shirt for the first time. (I plan to share many more ways to style it in the future!) Hope you love this casual summer outfit that I put together. Here's a shot of the shirt in all its glory. It's super soft and comfy! You can't go wrong with a graphic tee and a classic pair of jeans. I paired mine with some striped canvas sneakers to complete the look. It was such a gorgeous day outside, I just had to go with outdoor shots. Greenery and brick walls make great backdrops for photos. What's great about this shirt is that you can wear it no matter what mood you're in! Rock it when you...

I always hate taking my makeup off at the end of the night. It seems like most of the makeup removing wipes and creams only take off so much product. I usually have to scrub my face with cleanser to get the rest of the makeup completely off. And what's worse- when you run out of makeup remover! So when I discovered The Makeup Mitty , I knew I had to try it!  It's an invention by #girlboss Amanda McIntosh, the woman behind the Take My Face Off beauty brand. Her signature product, The Makeup Mitty, is a reusable makeup remover mitt. It's made from Korean polyester, so it's super soft on your skin. It's also machine washable, so you don't waste money having to buy makeup remover all the time. Just drop some Take My Face Off Organic Apricot Kernel Oil, or the makeup remover of your choice, on The Makeup Mitty and masage away your makeup. AFTER BEFORE   Here's a side by side comparison of The Makeup Mitty before and after removin...
