Style is a way of life. It's not only something seen on the runway or in magazines. I believe everyone has the right to feel great about themselves and powerful with the right attitude, clothing, and accessories.

A few examples of what I bought this week as well as the coupons/deals used for each:
I bought all of these things at Target (top row) and Ulta (bottom row).
Ulta
I used a $3.50 off $10 purchase coupon so I had to make sure my purchase totaled $10
The Physician's formula matte eyeshadow palette was $6.69 & I used a $5 off any Physician's formula product so this ended up being $1.69
Ulta was having a 40% off sale on Nyx this week so each of the 2 jumbo lip pencils were $2.69 apiece (normally $4.50 apiece), the Nyx lipstick was $2.39 (normally $4.00)
I had to buy the trial sized body wash for $0.69 to get my total to $10 & not go over by very much (it was on sale from $1.25)
Total came to: $10.15 & I used my $3.50 off a purchase of $10 coupon so I ended up paying $6.65 before tax
I paid: $6.65, Retail value: $20.94 (68% off)
Target
I had a $1.50 off 2 NYC products coupon. NYC nail polishes are $0.97 apiece at Target so after the coupon I only paid $0.44 for both so they were $0.22 per bottle.
The Physician's Formula eye makeup remover was $4.24 & I had another $5 any Physician's Formula purchase so I used that & it ended up being free.
I had a $0.75 off any pack of Orbit gum that I printed from the Target website. The gum retailed for $0.99. I got it for $0.24
I paid: $0.68 before tax, Retail value: $7.17 (91% off)
I bought all of these things at Walgreens & Target.
Walgreens
I had 2 coupons for the Clean & Clear body wash (1 Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon from the Sunday paper & 1 $2 any C&C product coupon from the C&C website). The body wash was $5.99 a bottle regularly so after the B1G1F coupon & the $2 off coupon I only paid $2 per bottle or $4 total for both bottles when it would have been $12 without the coupons.
Walgreens had a special this week for Buy 1 Get 1 Free Schick Hydro products. The shave gel was normally $4 per bottle so I used 2 $1 off coupons I printed from Schick's Facebook page. Therefore, I only paid $2 total or $1 per bottle. Retail value: $8
The Carefree pads were on sale at Walgreens for $0.99. You get a Register Reward (a gift card you can use on your next purchase at Walgreens) for $0.99 so it was free.
I paid: $6.99 . Retail value $20.99
Target
The Dove body was was on the clearance rack for $3.48 & I had a $1 off coupon from the Sunday paper so it was $2.48. Retail value: $5
The Listerine mouthwash was on clearance for $1.48. Retail value: $3
The Suave shampoo was on sale for $1.84 a bottle & I had a 2 $1 off a bottle of men's Suave haircare. I paid $1.68. Retail value: $3.68

Well guys, it looks like rompers are in for another season. Try buying these in bright colors or crazy patterns and pairing them with a colorful scarf or feather earrings to switch it up a little bit.
It just wouldn't be spring without florals. So again, like every spring, you cannot go wrong with florals. Try dainty flowers or light pink for a feminine touch. You can always add masculine details if you're feeling too girly!
Here are some of my favorites from Urban Outfitters
looks like nude footwear is also still "in" heels or flats... you can't go wrong with nude. After all, it goes with absolutely everything. Another plus is that it makes your legs look uber long!
I think denim on denim is a cool trend as well. It's very 80s, which I love. Wear a light denim button up top tucked in to dark skinny denim jeans. Wear with a light brown belt to top it off or add a red belt for a splash of color.
My package is for blue eyes, but these trios are made for blue, green, hazel, and blue eyes. On a side note, I bought these at Target for $4.99 so you might be able to still find them there for that price. On the Physician's Formula website it states that they are $10.99 and at my Walmart they were $9.99.
