CARRIE NAME NECKLACE
This name necklace is my everyday go-to, it’s actually my 3rd Carrie Name Necklace. My first was on an 18″ chain, my second one was the Medium style on a 14″ chain and this one, the newest to the team is the Classic Carrie on a 14″ chain. This one adds a bit more punch than the Medium and is perfect for Summer with the 14″ chain giving it a choker vibe.
I’ll insert a photo below wearing the Medium Carrie, 14″ chain

The chain bar earrings I’m wearing are old from Madewell so they’re no longer available. I did link a similar pair for you guys.
WATCH
This is my everyday watch. After staring at a friends wrist adorned with this watch for a month or two I decided I needed it! I absolutely love a big watch, the bigger the face the better. I like the face of a watch to be the size of the front of my wrist.
BAR BRACELET
If you didn’t know Amazon has ALL the dupes so now I’m building my “Cartier” bracelet collection lol Check out the pieces I just added to the team as well HERE and HERE. & Don’t forget your Love Ring HERE!
RING
I’m growing my Cartier Love Collection (dupes!) so I had to get a ring! This style was the thickest band I found but there are thinner versions. Check that out HERE. I have the Love Bracelet OTW to complete my look.
LIPSTICK
Less Expensive Option: https://amzn.to/2Chcrkd
Recently, I’m talking maybe 1-2 years ago I FINALLY started playing with lip color. Because I’m not sure what I like yet instead of blowing money on a good lipstick I’ve been experimenting with drug store brands while I find my way. I have found I like nudes the best so when my fave, Emily Ann Gemma recommended Maybelline Baddest Beige I ran to the store to try it out. Immediately, I LOVED it however, the formula lasts maybe 5 minutes max. The staying power is terrible but I finally found a shade I was obsessed with and ready to invest in so the $5 spent was 100% worth it.
I took my $5 lipstick to Nordstrom with a swatch on my hand and swatched the Charlotte Tilbury colors to compare. SN: Charlotte Tilbury is another Emily Ann Gemma brand recommedation lol. With hard work and determination I scored and found an exact match!
I’m wearing the Kim KW shade. The only difference to my eye is the Maybelline has a bit of shimmer while Kim KW does not. The Charlotte Tilbury stays on for hours, it does not withstand a full meal but she does the job!

I’m wearing a sweatshirt from Zara Basics, it has since sold out so I linked a favorite (& popular) crop sweatshirt that I also own and recommend.
NAIL POLISH:
Now this shade is a signature shade for me. It started about 8 years ago when I found Essie “Mint Candy Apple” and I wore it for about 4 years straight. After taking a complete hiatus from this shade the past few years I thought it was time to bring it back! My salon didn’t have the Essie shade so I found a similar shade from OPI “Suzi Without A Paddle”.
