ELEGANTLY ELLE

Amazon has been my go to place for pretty much everything recently, so today I’m sharing what’s in my cart! I have posted similar Amazon posts on the blog in the past and I always really like to see what other people have in their carts when they share these posts, so I wanted to share one too! A few of these items I have ordered already, so I will be sure to share updates after I'm able to test them out! I ordered this bathing suit in black and in the black leopard and in plain black and I cannot wait to wear these in Florida next week! I am really loving red right now and so I also ordered this red maxi dress for Florida too. I ordered this Hydro Flask , because my white straw lid one doesn't fit in any cup holders so it ends up spilling everywhere! I also pre-ordered the book The Home Edit and it just arrived and I am super excited about it and cannot wait to organize everything. I am moving into my first apartment at the end of the summer and I will totally be insti...

I used to love a "what's in my bag" post, so today I am bringing them back! I recently picked up this new Michael Kors crossbody that I am loving. It's the perfect size, it holds a ton of stuff and is still small enough. It's the perfect bag to run errands with, which I am constantly doing lately. These are the everyday contents of my bag. I like to empty receipts out of my bag whenever I get home so I can hang onto the ones that I might need. In a small bag like this I don't carry much besides the essentials, but in larger bags I keep them organized by using pouches. I linked all of the items below, the key chain that I keep on my car keys is actually the wristlet that came on my wallet, I love that they match!         

Happy March! I can't believe how quickly 2019 is already flying by! In today's post I'm sharing just a few favorites from the past month. This list is rather short, as it was a short month and I am trying to shop less over the next few months to save money, which is no easy task for me!! iPad Pro In January I got the new iPad Pro and it is seriously the best! I have been using it so much for things such as taking notes, working on blog things like collages and I love making lists on the iPad. The Apple Pencil is so cool to use. Laneige Lip Mask This lap mask is seriously the best. I shared about using this and other products in my Skin Care Routine for Dry Skin post, where I shared all of my favorite skin care products to use on dry skin in the winter. Lululemon Ready to Rulu Pants I have seriously been wearing these pants NONSTOP they are SO comfy and cozy to wear I seriously love these! Mini Uggs I have also worn these practically every single day this winter...

One of my intentions for 2019, is to read more basically in an effort to help me unwind and actually to be able to fall asleep which is something that I have actually seriously been struggling during the past six months. So with this as a new goal of mine I decided to start this new series, where I share a reading list where I review what I read over the month and share it here on the blog! So, be on the lookout for hopefully monthly reading lists from me in 2019! This month I only read two books, but I am blaming that on the shorter month! Both of these were great reads that I would highly recommend. I like reading books that are suspenseful with an intertwined love story, basically like The Couple Next Door , which I reviewed last year. The Other Woman 5/5 I read this in three days. It was really good and I could not put it down! I wouldn’t say I read a ton, so when I read something in a few days, it has to be good. This love story with a twist re...

Happy Monday! For once in the past week of extreme cold in New York, it's actually SO nice out! From all the cold my skin has been getting very dry, so I have been combating it with my favorite skin care products that work really well for dry skin and my skin has been staying really well for how cold and dry it is right now in New York. I have been using all of these products for months on my very acne prone skin and they are amazing! Peter Thomas Roth Anti Aging Cleansing Gel I really like this gentle cleanser, especially for dry skin, because it cleans your skin really well without drying it out. And an added bonus it smells amazing! Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel This really helps to even out the texture of my skin and I love how much smoother my skin feels when I use it. If I don't use it for a few days before putting on my moisturizer I can seriously feel the difference. Clinique Moisture Surge Intense This is the best number one product of this post. ...

This post may be a little bit late because it's already January 8, but today I am sharing my favorite purchases of 2018. I really tried to only pick things that I have been using most of the year, although I also included the best book I read this year as well! Hydro Flask This is the best water bottle I have ever used, I love that it has a straw because that's basically the only way that I can drink water and this water bottle will seriously keep your water cold all day long. A couple of days ago  put water and ice in my Hydro Flask and drank half of it then when to bed and I realized the next afternoon that I hadn't finished drinking it and I took a sip and I'm not kidding you my water was still cold! Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Foundation I have been wearing this foundation the entire year, I have seriously bought at least 4 of these foundations this year! It covers acne and discoloring so well. It also leaves a fantastic finish that doesn't look ...

Happy Monday, I'm back to college after a great Thanksgiving break today. So, I figured it would be fun to share a few snippets from my day in a day in my life college post! 9am - I wake up pretty late, especially because my class is not until 11am. 11am - I started my morning off by getting ready and then going to my only class of the day. 1pm - After going to class...I went straight to meet my friend and get our nails done. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure both in OPI "don't bossa nova me around" and these two colors are actually the same in gel and regular, which unfortunately not always the case. 2:30pm - After nails I ran a few more errands...I ran into Target because I had to get a snow brush because it's snowing like crazy in New York and I didn't have a snow brush at college with me! And of course because it's Target I had to look at all of the cute Christmas decor that's now out! Unfortunately, until I get back f...
