CURRENT OBSESSION: Clarisonic

It would be more appropriate to call my relationship with Clarisonic a lifetime obsession. If you're unfamiliar with the name, Clarisonic is a pulsating skin care brush that does wonders for your skin. If you're ever feeling like your skin looks dull and needs a refresher, the Clarisonic will work to fix every problem. The pulsing movement of the brush acts like a buffer on your skin to remove any dead skin or imperfections. Once you use it, you can see an immediate change in your complexion. Not only does it give a nice glow to your skin, but it will also make your face feel incredibly soft and clean. Because I use the Clarisonic for buffering my skin, I'll only use it a few times a week because I've found that my skin feels sensitive if I use it everyday. The Clarisonic cleansing system might be a splurge for some of you, as it goes for around $200 but there is a great option called the Clarisonic Mia that is smaller and only has one speed but it also only costs $119. This is actually the version that I use and I love it! BONUS: The Mia comes in a ton of cute colors to choose from so you can add a little personality to your otherwise boring cleansing routine!

CURRENT OBSESSION: Statement Necklaces

Some mornings I go to my closet, whether it be a work day or a weekend and absolutely hate everything I have in there. This is completely absurd because I have so many clothes it's actually comical, but there are just those mornings where I have to get dressed and everything is just so... drab. Either I have worn an outfit a hundred times, or I put things together that just seem too simple, or I can't piece together a new outfit because it's morning and I'm an extraordinarily dysfunctional human being in the morning. Whatever the case may be, my saving grace on mornings like thess is the statement necklace. The best part about statement necklaces is that they are so incredibly versatile and totally chic right now, especially if you're in love with a preppy and polished style like I am. I can put one over a collared shirt for an interesting detail to go to work in, slap one on over a flowy white tank and colored shorts to run errands in, or accessorize a solid dress to go to a brunch and every single time I get so many compliments on how amazing it looks. It truly is amazing what a difference a simple piece can do to your whole outfit. At the moment, my personal favorites are on the bigger side, but simple in their design and are turquoise or salmon. These will give you a ton of versatility amongst a wide spectrum of colors and outfits. To my surprise, the turquoise gives a pop of color against almost everything in my closet from lavender, to navy, to black and even coral. It's an extremely trendy color right now and it truly brings out the clothes I already own and make them a brand new outfit without having to really try or spend a ton of money to do it.
I do have a couple personal favorite places to buy my statement necklaces because while I love J.CREW,  I have a really hard time dropping upwards of $130 on a necklace that might go out of style in a few seasons. Therefore, I shop Francesca's because they always have an amazing selection of pieces that are just the right size, color and price. They almost always look like I spent way more than I did on them and they hold up. Forever 21 also surprisingly has an amazing selection for statement necklaces and for the price, it's a great place to grab a necklace to match something particular without feeling guilty later if it doesn't match everything in your closet. I'm currently obsessed with the one I have in turquoise by them pictured above. It literally matches and completes everything in my closet. So if you're as useless as me in the morning and your wardrobe needs a little sprucing up on the cheaper side of things, try a statement necklace that will make your outfit seem trendy, put together and more interesting all at once.

CURRENT OBSESSION: Online Shopping

If I had to admit to having one vice, it would without a doubt be my obsession with online shopping. Throughout the past few years of college, especially in the times I did not yet have a car, I have discovered a whole new world of shopping on the internet. And I think I have even come to prefer it over aimlessly walking around crowded malls. The selection online is so much more unique and I personally love having clothes that are not readily available to every other person who does not know about the hidden gems of the internet. In addition to broadening your selection of cute clothes and accessories, online shopping offers a ton of deals that you can't get in stores! I have found that one of the greatest tools to go along with online shopping is following your favorite brands on Twitter! Most brands offer deals exclusively to Twitter users who follow their brands and often provide promo codes with #hashtags. I would definitely recommend following your favorite stores and brands on their social media networks to take advantage of these deals. To help you out with finding some great online shopping sites with some of my favorite brands, I have put a list together of a few of my favorites!

1. REVOLVE Clothing

~Browse through the A-Z list of designers on Revolve Clothing's website and you'll find yourself in front of your computer for hours. Revolve has a huge selection of designers that range from affordable to higher-priced brands. You can basically find stylish clothes and accessories for any occasion and I guarantee people will be asking where you get your clothes from! Revolve doesn't have retail stores, only their online site so take advantage of their exclusivity now that you know about it! BONUS: Revolve offers free shipping and free returns on every order, not to mention they also have great sales!

2. Planet Blue
~Going back to my obsession for everything "boho-chic", this online shopping site is the epitome of the California-girl style. There are a handful of Planet Blue stores located in California, but if you're not lucky enough to visit the shop in person, check out this website for the cutest styles from unique brands. For instance, the Australian brand One Teaspoon, the fun knitwear brand WILDFOX, and one of Planet Blue's exclusive brands Blue Life are big sellers on this site! They have great 50-75% off sales and often offer deals on shipping on certain brands throughout the year!

3. TopShop
~This brand that started in the UK has recently crossed the pond to America and I could not be more excited! There are currently only US store locations in Chicago, New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles but the brand has also partnered up with Nordstrom, making it more accessible for American fans of this stylish British brand. The prices are affordable, the clothes are adorable, and the customer service is impeccable! What more could you ask for?!

Let me know what you think of my favorite online shopping sites in the comments! Let us know your favorites, too!
