Friday Favorites

Hello my fellow fashionistas! I was scrolling through one of my favorite blogs Preppy by the Sea, and was very inspired by their weekly favorites. I will now be writing those posts for you all. This week is fairly simple. If you follow me on Instagram @ofprepandlace. You would see my recent photos. Thus being said, here are my Friday favorites. 

|American Eagle Denim|- I have recently been wearing my new favorite shorts, which are from American Eagle as afore mentioned. I am absolutely entirely infatuated with this pair of jeans. They match literally everything and are super comfortable, which is a huge plus for me.

|"Me Talk Pretty One Day"| I must say I'm a bit of a nerd and an avid reader and I am always on the lookout for a superior read. Mission accomplished. The afore said title is a book about David's attempt to learn French with his new move to Paris- this should be a little hint of the humour in this book. For sure a spectacular read

|Kate Spade Style Glasses| About a year ago I started to wear non- prescription glasses, as I really took to liking the look of these spectacles! I wear these all the time and I absolutely adore this pair of glasses.

|J.crew Scallop Shift Dress| "Expensive but worth it" I say as I convinced my father to take me to J.Crew the first time in fall '14. I am now a frequent buyer and loyal customer to J. Crew and adore their dresses. They're so classy and simple and complete classics! I recently bought around 5 dresses the last time I went into the store and bought this beautiful scallop dress. I wear this   dress rather frequently and it is on my top 10 list of dresses.

Thank you so much for reading,

Stay Classy,

XOXO Rebecca

March Beauty Favorites

Hello there lovelies! As the fabulous month of March is rapidly coming to a close, I figured it would be an oh-so-very wonderful time to share my March beauty favorites with you. Let's begin!

1. Real Techniques Powder Brush-  I absolutely adore makeup brush shopping and makeup brushes all together. However, this brush is not one of my most recent pick-ups. I actually bought this around 2 years ago preparing for back to school and was a rather 'new born' makeup user. I therefore used it on the rare occasion. Now, I believe I could say that I am somewhat skilled in brush usery and have found the correct purpose for this brush. I use it for my 'NYX Translucent' powder as the powder is white, this brush allows the powder to cascade onto the canvas- in this case, my face, without looking ghostly at all. Lala love it!
2. Wet n' Wild Kohl Liner-  I was recently watching one of my favorite you tubers videos Rachael Ennette and she recently did a video on her top beauty secrets. She mentioned that people with brown eyes should more use a brown or plum liner for a more subtle and flirty look, hence the harsh look that black liner sometimes gives off. So I bought the two liners afore mentioned in the visual and I adore them. Thank you Rachael!
3. VS Pro Radiant Flash Cream- Recently, I have been in search of the perfect highlighter for my darker skin tone that would blend somewhat magically and still give off a radiant, fairy glow. SCORE! Found it. I had previously owned this from last summer an I am now a daily user of this cream. I apply it to the apples of my cheeks ascending to my temples and blend it with my fingers or my beauty blender. So, so magical.
4. Apothecary Tea Tree Oil (sponsored product)- I was recently sent a lovely package from a brand 'Apothecary Extracts'. They have the best tea tree oil I have ever used. I usually use the Aveda tea tree oil but have recently converted to the afore mentioned brand. I use the oil as a facial toner, by mixing half water and half oil and shaking it up in a bottle and spraying it on my face. I also use it when I wash my hair, I put a portion into my shampoo and it leaves my hair softer and shinier, which is great for the spring season. Here is the link if your'e interested- Tea Tree Oil
5. Essie: Topless and Barefoot- Perfect. Spring. Color. On Wednesday's we wear pink right? I am a complete inamorta of this polish. I really only prefer darker polishes, reason being, I feel as if the apply with more ease. However this Essie polish is super- easy to apply even with out a base coat. Absoulutely perfect for ameauture polishers.
6. Essie: All-in-one top coat, base coat and treatment- Woo! That was a mouthfull. I LOVE this polish because it keeps me from spending three- times the amount of money by buying a treatment, a base coat AND a top coat. This polish applies easy and gives the perfect gloss to any mani- or pedi. 
7. Maybelline Lash-Sensational- This is one of Maybellines newer products and I'm so glad I found this mascara at the time that I did. I'm somewhat of a Type A personality with a very slight case of OCD and pay very close attention to the beauty sanitation rules. In this case the rule was to buy a new mascara every 2-3 months. I will gladly abide to that instruction. I bought this new eye product and it is by far on my top 3 list of lengthening mascaras. It has a curved brush enabling itself to grasp every lash with it's lash extending super powers as so to speak. L.O.V.E
8. Icing Eybrow Brush- This is a rather old favorite and will probably make itself shown in all of my beauty favorites. I just simply brush my eyebrows in an upward sweeping motion and take the comb to arch it over.
9. Urban Decay NAKED SKIN Foundation- I bought this foundation this past black friday at Ulta beauty and use this daily.  It blends so nicely into my skin and does not give off a cakey appearance as promised and I love this product dearly. 

I hope you enjoyed my Monthly Beauty Favorites! 

Stay Classy and Sassy, 

XOXO,

 Rebecca 

It's About to Get Nauti in Here!

Hello there my fellow fashionistas! Today, I would like to give a nautical inspired outfit idea for this up and coming spring 2015. Let's begin!


I was recently strolling in the mall and came close to my second home- J.crew. As you might have expected, I scurried in haste to see what sales awaited my arrival. " 50% OFF THE ENTIRE STORE". *Que mental squealing from an oh so excited J.crew enthusiast*. My dad purchased a few dresses for spring and a few tops- I'll definitely do a haul post (; , and I tried them on excitedly and they all looked absolutely fitting. As I tried on the dress that about to be showcased, God gave me the great idea to do a "nautical" themed post on the dress. This is the outcome. Enjoy!

Dress: J.Crew ($98.99, but J.Crew had a 50% off sale. Can someone say score?!)

Shoes: Hotcakes (a.k.a knock off Jack Rogers $20.00)

Ring: (ICING price unknown)

Planner: Lilly Pulitzer ($32.00)

Purse: Thrifted ($3.90)
