BEAUTY CRUSH: COVERGIRL X SOKO HOW-TO VIDEOS

Currently crushing on Covergirl's how-to videos featuring French singer and actress, Soko. Her song I'll Kill Her has been one of my favorites ever since college, so I was happy to see her featured- loving her newly bleached hair!

Covergirl used their new Flamed Out collection to give Soko four different beauty looks- the sleek glossy eye and the bold lip above, plus a smoky eye and a no-make up look. I can't decide which I like the most, they are all styled so great as well. Which look is your favorite?

NAIL CANDY

Photos via Nail Common

So pumped I came across Nail Common - endless nail art inspiration. Loving the asymmetrical nude base/bright tip french manicures. Not going to lie, seeing these left me with major cuticle envy. I can never seem to get mine to look so smooth and groomed. Now off to get lost in Sephora's nail section. Any cuticle care advice is appreciated!

Speaking of beauty advice, Who What Wear just launched their new beauty site- BYRDIE!

BRIGHT MIRRORED SUNGLASSES

I know I'm a little late on this, but I love these bright mirrored sunglasses too much not to share... Great nude frames on both styles, but can't decide if I'm liking the orange lens cat-eyes or the blue mirrored lenses more. What's your vote?

ps- If you prefer a darker frame, check out these mirrored wayfarers- only $20!

PROENZA SCHOULER PS11 TINY

ph: Proenza Schouler

The Proenza Schouler PS11 bag had a baby! How cute is the PS11 Tiny?!
You can find the black version here and here // the pink and royal blue versions here.

CANDY STRIPE

Not usually one for bright stripes, but I'm kinda digging this candy stripe skirt. The styling def made a difference- I call it minimal with a rainbow kick.

Get the full look with this or this oversized sleeve top + these strappy white heels.

KAREN WALKER SUNGLASSES | BACKSTAGE F/W 2013

ph: ELLE

Yeah, Karen Walker is killing it in the sunglasses game. I always look forward to seeing what unique + kooky design she'll come up with next. Love the first 'Anytime' pair in crazy tortoise!

MATTE PINK LIPS

As I am sure you guys have noticed, I have a thing for bright lips. Love this matte pink lipstick on Elisa Sednaoui. It looks amazing with a clean face + barely-there mascara.

SOFT CAT-EYE LINER

ph: Style Bistro

Sometimes, I feel that black cat-eye liner can be too bold for a day look- this soft version from Theirry Mugler S/S 2013 is a great subtle way to rock the look without it being too much.

DENIM DELIGHT | DIY INSPIRATION

Uh, how fun are these jeans?! Lulu & Co customized vintage Levis with screen-printed stripes. Great DIY inspiration! They would look great with bright red or nude stripe as well.
