Local Love For RBC & Co Boutique

Everyone knows that I love local, and when I stumbled upon local online boutique, RBC & Company, I instantly fell head over heels!

They sell everything from skirts, to dresses, to jumpsuits, to jewelry.

Their clothing is feminine, elegant, and on-trend!

Not only that, but the colors and patterns of each piece coordinate perfectly with the next!

Basically the entire boutique can be mixed and matched, so it's easy to find a full head-to-toe look in one place!

...

I styled a spring look with their "Debby Blouse" & "Taylor Skirt", because everyone knows I'll take a skirt over pants any day!

Their black "Debby Blouse" has a silky feel with the most adorable lace cap sleeves.

It has a V-shaped neckline and tiny button closure in the back.

I tucked it into the skirt so I would have a defined waistline.

Their baby blue midi "Taylor Skirt" has a super soft and flowy satin feel with a tiny leopard print.

The dark black blouse against the bright baby blue skirt made for a beautiful contrast!

The best part about these pieces?

They can be styled separately in a million different ways, for almost any season!

Add a leather jacket like I did, or a cozy cardigan when it's cold.

Dress the blouse up with a pair dress pants and a blazer, or dress it down with denim shorts or jeans.

The possibilities are endless!

So who is the face behind this brilliant boutique?

Her name is Mallory, and she started RBC & Co. only 9 months ago!

She's an elementary school teacher with a passion for fashion.

RBC & Co. was inspired by her own desire to find trendy & feminine clothing that was also appropriate for work.

It's important to her that women feel confident in clothing that is also fully functional.

So what does Mallory have to say about opening her own boutique?

"I am truly blown away with how much love & support I've received in the short 9 months RBC has been open. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my dream.

You are amazing!"

...

Check out RBC & Co. online, on Instagram, and Facebook, and remember to support small & local favorites!

...

Wishing everyone mental, physical, and emotional health & wellness in these trying times!

My Essential Bling

I'm sure you all know that this girl loves her bling.

If the name of my blog hasn't clued you in, then this is me exclaiming "bring on the bling!"

In my mind, an outfit isn't complete until you accessorize it.

I'm talking about watches, rings, earrings, necklaces, you name it!

Here's a list of this glitzy girl's favorite sparkly staples.

...

Watches

I remember making my first "big" purchase when I found a full time job. 

It seems like eons ago that I walked into the watch store and purchased a watch from my favorite designer, Michael Kors.

 Since then, I swear I've only taken the watch off to sleep and shower! 

If you don't like bracelets banging together I'd highly suggest a quality timepiece!

Bracelets

I'll admit I'm not big on bracelets, but when I am in the mood I break out my Mantra Bands! 

I've also been eyeing the stack trend that has been making a comeback!
I've been stalking Arm Candy on Instagram and will probably make a purchase soon. 

I'll keep you guys updated!

Necklaces

While I have a hoard of necklaces, I still have my top two picks! 

One of them being my gold medallion from Bird Bee. 

The other being my brand new "Elisa Gold Pendant" that I haven't taken off since I took it home from Kendra Scott! 

Earrings

I probably have more earrings than I could count, but I'm totally okay with that. 

While I've bought my earrings from all over, some of my best buys have been from SHEIN, Ashley Gold, and now Kendra Scott. 

If you're looking for trendy and cheap, you can grab oodles of earrings on SHEIN for $4 and under. 

If you're searching for impressive and expressive, Ashley Gold will hook you up! 

If you love a high-quality brand name, then Kendra Scott has the styles for you!

Rings

I used to hate wearing rings before my fiance "put a ring on it" and started a ring obsession! 

Aside from my engagement ring, promise ring, and Mother's promise ring, I have a fourth staple I wanted to share. 

My gorgeous hand-wired rings from Hannah Rose Jewelry. 

Not only does she use gorgeous gemstones, but she's also a fellow Michigan babe!

My Skincare Routine

For years, if there was an issue with my skin I would be the first to freak out and desperately search the internet for the "magic cure".

...

While I still haven't found the solution to so-called "perfect skin", I have found a routine that works for me.

Thank goodness all those years of being my own guinea pig are over.

All hail beauty bloggers and their wonderful advice!

...

So why am I hording my skincare secrets all to myself??

Keep reading, and all shall be revealed!

 ...

Vitamin E

I use a bit of Derma E Vitamin E Skin Oil on a cotton round to remove my eye makeup and lipstick every night.

These sensitive areas need something soothing and rejuvenating like good 'ol Vitamin E!

After you're finished, apply just a bit under your eyes to keep those under eye circles at bay!

Apple Cider Vinegar

While I already take a tsp. of this in my tea every morning, and a couple of ACV Goli Gummies every day (because beauty starts from the inside out), I also use it topically!

I'm telling you, this stuff is my holy grail of health.

Every night after washing my face with water, I use a cotton round soaked with half water and half Bragg Organic Raw ACV to remove the rest of my makeup.

It also works as a great astringent to balance your skin's natural moisture!

Benzoyl Peroxide Cream

I apply a little CVS Benzoyl Peroxide Cream at night when I have little problems pop up. 

Typically by the next morning they are either gone or close to gone!

Buh bye little buggers!

*Side Note: I only apply this to the actual acne spots, because it can be quite drying.*

My Magic Mask

I've been applying masks on a weekly basis long before the face mask craze began! 

I'm super thankful I found my magic formula before "charcoal this", "cucumber that", or "real gold this" flooded the market with a million different masks to try!

My secret?

Half Green Health Kaolin Clay and half Better Body Foods Cocoa Powder mixed with a tsp of freshly brewed Uncle Lee's Organic Green Tea.

Whip that baby up, apply, and remove once hard and dry!

Your face will feel like a baby's bottom.

Lip Balm

I always begin and end my day with a few swipes of Just Bee Cosmetics "Cool" Lip Balm! 

It quickly restores my lips to their natural softness, and heals any dry spots or cracks.

This minty fresh balm doesn't just smell good, it's also 100% natural, and bee-friendly!
