Grace’s Favorites: May 2012

It’s hard to believe how quickly the past month has flown by… and that it’s already June!  Summer is in full swing.  The past month was one big blur – but there were several products that really stood out as absolute favorite, must-have pieces of clothing and beauty items.  Lots of denim, my favorite summer nail color, the best hair product I’ve tried in ages, some great collaborations, and more!  Without further adieu, here they are… my favorite things from this past month!

For more about why I love these products (and where to get them,) keep reading.

Big Star Denim Cut-offs in Neon Pink.  Oh how I adore these.  They are perfect in every way.  I also love that they’re a bit more affordable than other denim brands, at $69.00.  Neon denim is probably not going to be “in” for that much longer… meaning wear them as much as possible, and don’t spend a ton of money on them!

Paige x Liberty – I’ve been waiting all Spring for this collab to hit.  And wow is it good.  I have this pair and love the classic Liberty print!

Essie Need a Vacation -This is my go-to nail polish in the summer – so easy and elegant… the perfect pink!

Sam Edelman Trina Sandals – My coworker has these and I am insanely jealous.  That metallic little heel is just too good!

NARS Orgasm Multiple Stick – This is my new desert-island beauty product (besides mascara, of course.)

Beth Lauren x BaubleBar This pop-up is so so good.  I ordered the above two necklaces and cannot wait for them.  Love.

Miss Jessie’s Quick Curls This is the best product for girls with curls that I’ve tried in quite some time.  It was a BirchBox discovery.  I put a little in, scrunched, air-dried, and got so many compliments on my frizz-free yet bouncy curls.  This doesn’t happen very often, so I’m going to keep using it.  Forever.

    Very intrigued by that hair product since I’m a naturally curly girl too – must try because my frizz has been out of control lately!  Also LOVE the Beth Lauren for BaubleBar pieces…on my wish list for sure! 🙂

    I think I might HAVE to invest in Miss Jessie’s Quick Curls – I am in a lifelong battle with my curls (aka I havent worn it curly in 4 years….). My split ends will thank me, I’m sure! How curly is your hair?

      My hair is really really thick, and very wavy. Not full on curly but quite wavy. 🙂

    I’m really really keen to try the Nars Orgasm all in one stick! Unfortunately its way overpriced here in Australia – I may have to look around online & see if I can try it cheaper!

    I’m so with you on the sandals. I don’t know if I’d actually wear them, but they’re so cute.

    I totally second the Quick Curls adoration. I’ve got some looser curls and others that are tighter, so my hair isn’t always easy to work with. But, Quick Curls has become my daily hair product, and it gives amazing body. XO
