These are a few of our favorite spring things...

Happy Hump Day, y'all! Today I'm sharing my Spring Wish List. From bags, to clothing, to beauty buys and more, these items are sure to make their way into my hands before spring is through...

First up, this to-die-for foldover leather clutch from K.slademade. I love the soft leather, the size, the color options and the fact that you can add a simple gold monogram to any bag!

Second, the Stella & Dot Norah Pendant. Citrine is a must-have in your closet for spring, and trust me when I say that you can wear this beauty with EVERYTHING! From navy, to coral, to neutrals and patterns, the Norah is the perfect necklace to take you into spring & summer.

Next on the list is one of my splurges :: Anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for Tory Burch! The heel height of the Savannah Wedge is perfect for a sweet daytime dress, andtaking it into the night with a white skinny jean or fun skirt.

The fourth thing on my wish list is a beauty buy. Too Faced "Return of Sexy" eye palette is full of bright colors that I'm dying to experiment with this spring. I love a pop of bright eye color blended in with other neutrals; especially those fuchsia tones. Radiant Orchid, anyone?

I always say that if I were forced to only shop at one store for the rest of my life, it would be Anthropologie. {I could go into the reasoning behind this, but I will keep it short and sweet by saying that they carry all of the basic necessities, plus the prettiest patterns and the most unique, compliment-receiving pieces} So naturally, there are a few {okay, twenty} things on my spring wish list from Anthro.

Everyone needs florals in their closet this spring. This skirt will help do that. It's girly, pretty and flattering. I would pair it with a navy and white striped tee, or a silky white blouse for a simple, put-together chic look.

Last, but certainly not least on my Wish List is some pretty gear to {hopefully} inspire me to work out! Great justification, right? And let's be honest - I will be hanging around my house in this even if I don't make it to the gym! The color is perfect for spring and I love the built-in bra. Lulu Lemon works her magic once again!

What's on your spring wish list? I could have gone on all day... We'd love to hear from you!

Stay Stylish,

Courtney

Friday Feature :: Painted Earth Skincare

TGIFF! I hope all of you had a fabulous week. Today I'm spotlighting one of my favorite new skincare brands, Painted Earth, based right here in Atlanta. Here is a little bit about the company, as adopted from their website ::

"Painted Earth was founded to offer an alternative to pore-clogging chemical skincare products, and our exclusively organic, natural and non-toxic products don't force users to sacrifice health for beauty; instead they make accentuating beauty a healthier process. Why settle for a basic skincare line? Painted Earth products are infused with advanced ingredients, making it easy to transform skin from blah to beautiful. When it comes to finding the perfect skincare products for any complexion needs, it all starts with the ingredients."

Below are a few of my favorite products from their line. I will be highlight many more in the future!

This eyeliner is everything. It goes on like a marker, giving you full control over it that you don't get with a liquid liner. It also has a sharp, precise line that you won't see with a pencil liner. The best of both worlds!

This Mineral HD concealer is the perfect under eye concealer. It instantly camouflages dark spots, leaving your skin looking light and bright around your eye area. I also use it over any blemishes, and around my nose, chin & forehead for added brightness. A tip for extra bright eyes? Buy a shade lighter than your skin tone.

Last but CERTAINLY not least, a true miracle product. Yes, I said it. A miracle! "Boo Boo Gel" is the perfect fix for any of your skin problems ; from blemishes, to dark spots, to burns and scrapes. It is anti-aging, skin-perfecting and pore-reducing. All natural and organic, this product has been a true miracle worker for both myself and many Painted Earth customers around the country. It is a skin saver!

You can check out Painted Earth and all of their fabulous products on their website HERE. You won't be disappointed!

Wishing you all a stylish weekend ahead. Until Monday!

xoxo.

Friday Feature :: Favorite Eyeshadow Palette

TGIFF! This Friday, I'm featuring my favorite eyeshadow palette, the Lorac PRO Palette. Everyone seemed to be all about the Naked Eyeshadow Palette this season. I happened to ask for it for Christmas, and ended up getting both the Naked2 and the Lorac sets. Let me tell you, this Lorac set blew the Naked2 out of the water! The shadows go on super easily, while I found that you had to get a lot on your brush with Naked2 for it to even show up on your eye. The colors in the Lorac palette are much more vibrant, and there are shades to compliment every eye color; from blush & champagne, to mauve, to espresso & plum.

A few tips ::

• the eyeshadow primer is a MUST. It helps the shadow stay on all day long, and into the night. It also helps prevent the loose powder that can sometimes drop below and around your eyes during application.
• here's my regimen with this -- I start with WHITE directly beneath my brow. I then move to LIGHT PINK and cover the rest of my lid with that. I apply MAUVE in the crease of my lid, followed by GOLD ontop of that and LIGHT BRONZE on my lower lid. I then use SABLE in the crease for a more daytime, casual look, or ESPRESSO or DEEP PURPLE in the crease for a more dramatic, nighttime look. This is perfect for brown eyes. Follow with a thick black {or brown} liner and you'll be good to go!

What is your favorite go-to eyeshadow palette? Please share! You can hashtag #fridayfeature on Instagram, or comment on our Facebook page!

Wishing you a stylish and relaxing weekend with {hopefully} some lovely spring weather!

2014 Color of the Year :: Radiant Orchid

Yes, I know it's February... but it doesn't make it too late to discuss the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year! Announced at the beginning of January, it is... drum roll... Radiant Orchid! I am loving this color, which I describe as a lovely sunny mix between fuchsia & lavender. It is flattering on virtually any skin tone and is sure to brighten up any blustery day. AND, I'm not only loving the fashion aspect of it -- I'm inspired to put pops of radiant orchid in my home, on my nails and in my makeup palette!

Here's some of my favorite radiant orchid inspiration; from pants, to pumps, to polish ::

I think this color is going to be perfect for spring, and you can bet it will be making more features on the blog in the upcoming spring months! We'd love to hear from you - share your favorite radiant orchid looks with us!

Use the hashtag #radiantorchid & tag @lifestyledatlanta on Instagram and show us how you're wearing it or incorporating it into your home.

XOXO,

:: Friday Feature ::

TGIF! Today is the first of many "Friday Features" to come! Each Friday we will highlight a different product that we are loving; whether it be clothing & accessories, beauty or skincare. We'll be sharing our favorite things with you!

Today's Friday Feature :: Lorac TANtalizer Bronzer

I was in the market for a new bronzer a few weeks ago, and decided to trust the advice of the Ulta makeup consultants {which I rarely do}. I'm glad I did! I love the slight shimmer to this bronzer. It immediately brightens up your face, no matter how pale or tired you are. {A tip :: when applying bronzer, apply it not only to the apples of your cheeks, but also to the tip of your nose}

Another great thing about this bronzer? It is huge, and it only takes a few sweeps of the brush to get enough for your whole face. With this product less is truly more, so don't be overzealous! I can guarantee this bronzer will last you for at least one year. Last but not least, it is the perfect shade to take you from season to season. This is great for pale winter skin, but will also highlight your bronzed summer skin perfectly, and keep your skin bright and warm for all the months in between.

What are your favorite bronzing products? Share with us! We'd love to hear from you.

Wishing you a stylish {and warm!} weekend!

LIFE.STYLED's Christmas Favorites

This Christmas brought lots of goodies; among them many fashion and beauty favorites! {Here are a few of LIFE.STYLED's favorite things from Santa}

1) Fur Collar Coat :: This winter fur is in. And we're loving the fur collar trend on coats like this Tory Burch coat, in navy.

2) LORAC Pro Eyeshadow Palette :: This shadow palette has just about any color you could ever need; from mattes to shimmers, from light to dark. I have used it EVERY day since Christmas!

3) Booties :: Booties are one of our favorite trends; they are so versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on your outfit. These Tory Burch Milan booties are the perfect shade of camel, and the wedge is super comfortable.

4) Embellished Sweaters :: Ever feel like you want to wear a sweater, but don't think it's dressy or polished enough for the occasion? Enter, embellished sweaters. Like this one, from LOFT - with gold sequin embellishments on each shoulder and always-classic black and white stripes.

5) Philosophy "Purity" Facial Cleanser :: Enough said! This face wash smells amazing, takes all of your makeup off, and leaves your face feeling soft, smooth and pure - the name says it all.
