Roses and Ray Bans

I've always been in love with the various bloggers and their amazing outfit posts. I think they're always so put together, but unique at the same time. Since Hannah and I decided to venture into Pretty Chatty, I definitely knew I wanted to start doing these posts as well because it's a new look into my daily life. I didn't know where to begin except for in my "Fashionality" folder on my Macbook, where I keep a variety of saved outfit inspiration pictures I've collected from Pinterest, Tumblr, and even Facebook. I usually play it pretty safe, but I was excited to try out some new outfit combinations for the sake of this blog. Today's outfit was inspired by one of mine (and Hannah's) current favorite style icons, Dianna Agron, in this picture:

The look is so effortlessly chic and totally perfect for transitioning into Spring with the Chambray top tied over a fun patterned sun dress. (Plus, I was dying to find a way to wear this orange floral dress I bought last Fall that's been gathering dust in my closet!) I think the Chambray top is a must for every spring wardrobe because it's a perfect neutral layering piece that is comfortable, loose, and goes with so many different outfits, it's crazy!

Chambray Top - Old Navy, Orange Floral Sun Dress - Forever 21, Sunglasses - Ray Ban, Wedges - Frye, Watch - Michael Kors, Bow Necklace - Tiffany & Co, and Nail Polish - OPI Stranger Tides

Take time today to really stop and smell the roses (like I got to during this shoot). There's nothing like the beautiful fragrance of roses blooming in the spring time to make you appreciate your day. 

Sealed with a kiss,

Danielle

Gingham Glory!

Gingham has always been one of my favorite prints ever since I saw The Wizard of Oz for the first time. There's something sweet, homey, and summery about Gingham that other prints just don't have. 

(Oh, and unless you want to spend an hour obsessing over how cute gingham is for children, do not look at little baby outfits in this checkered print! Too cute!)

Perfect pigtails, a gingham dress, and a cute little dog to boot! 

J Crew Gingham Shorts (4inch) $39.99
I recently got these in hot pink and I love them. I like that they're a little longer, too! 

Delia's Gingham and Eyelet Headband Set $6.50
How cute are these? They'd totally make a summer outfit!  

Gap Gingham Linen Dress $59.95
This dress would be perfect for a summer barbeque! 

Old Navy Lightweight Camp Shirt in Light Blue Gingham $24.95
This is an awesome deal, and comes in a few great shades of gingham. 

Charlotte Russe Gingham Wedges- $32.99
Spice up your solid color summer dresses with this retro shoe.

  

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips in Checken Out- $8-10
Why not take this trend to your fingertips? 

J. Crew Gingham Swimsuit $89.99
Retro and flattering, this suit is totally timeless.

Do you love gingham? What's your favorite way to wear this nostalgic print?

Stay beautiful,

Sephora Sun Safety Kit

I'm very excited to bring you this post about the brand new, limited edition Sephora Sun Safety Kit! I received the email from Sephora for Beauty Insiders this morning (4/28) and knew it had to be in my hands before it sold out. This $30 set is absolutely full of top rated skin care products. It's a phenomenal value for only $30, it includes 17 deluxe sized samples of various moisturizers, sun screens, primers, mattifiers, self tanners, etc. It has something for everyone! It's a $193 value which is absolutely amazing. 

I'm very big into protecting your skin especially during the spring and summer months. 100% of this set's profits benefit the Skin Care Foundation which is really really cool. I'm very excited to share these products with my mom as well because we're both so huge into skin care. I'm including it as part of her mother's day present, so that's a great gift idea too. I'm going to share with y'all the products included without reviews because as I said, I just purchased it. I can guarantee this set is going to sell out fast because it is such a great value and these are some of Sephora's Best Selling Products!!!

Target Beauty Bag - A FREE Beauty Bag!

Beauty bags have recently become all the rage- you can have everything from makeup to skincare and even nail polish delivered to your door every month- but most of these services come with a price! Target recently offered free beauty bags on their facebook page and I was thrilled to get some fun samples and coupons! I have to thank Emily and her new beauty blog for letting me know about this great offer!
So here's what came in the mail:

Here's the box and the ADORABLE bag! Love the colors!

Here's what came in the bag! Mostly skincare, but some great stuff to try- or travel with!

Here's a breakdown of the bag. I'm linking to full sizes on Target's Website, but obviously these were samples! 

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes- this is a newer skincare brand I've been meaning to try, plus I was just saying I
needed makeup wipes, so I'm excited to try these!

Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Face Cleanser- I like Neutrogena skincare,  and I'm always buying travel skincare in the summer!

Nivea Extended Moisture Cream- I just put this on my hands and it is super moisturizing! 

L'oreal Paris Magic Lumi Primer- I was a little sad that the only makeup product was the smallest sample, but I'm still so excited to try this! 

Pantene Flat to Volume Conditioner- Travel conditioner is always great and I'm excited to try this sometime!

The best part of this box was the great coupons that came with it! I tend to buy a lot of makeup at Ulta, but with these coupons, I'll totally be buying more at Target soon! 

It was great to get some fun, free samples, and I'd definitely do it again! 

Do you get any beauty boxes? Have you tried the Target Beauty Bag? 

Stay beautiful, 

Hannah 

Target & Ulta Haul - 4/13

I'm very very excited to be back to filming and even more stoked to be filming the first video on our new combined channel for Pretty Chatty. I've been a good girl for the most part this year, but then I went a little crazy these past few weeks when it comes to beauty products. Therefore, a haul was necessary. Hannah and I are going to use the video's accompanying blog posts for a full product list and links to said products, so that each video doesn't have an excessively full down bar, but you'll still get all the information you're looking for.

• Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes
• St. Ives Green Tea Scrub
• Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment
• E.L.F. High Definition Powder
• Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Matte in Stormy Pink
• Revlon Nail Enamel in Whimsical and Scandalous
• L'Oreal 24 HR Infallible Eyeshadow in Iced Latte and Eternal Sunshine
• L'Oreal Magic Lumi Concealer
• Maybelline Master Drama By Eyestudio Eyeliner in Vibrant Violet, Bold Brown, and Midnight Master
• Maybelline Illegal Lengths Mascara in Blackest Black
• NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder in Sunny
• Almay Smart Shade Perfect & Correct Primer

Sealed with a kiss,
Danielle

Introducing the Pretty Chatty Girls

We're so glad you decided to drop by, we're very excited to introduce ourselves as the two ladies behind "Pretty Chatty." In our first post we gave a background to what you'll see content wise on PC, but not any background on the girls writing it.


About a year ago through Tumblr, Hannah and I started talking frequently through each other's ask boxes and replying to posts on our pages, etc. We quickly learned not only how much we had in common, but also how similar of people we were. We jokingly call each other twin, but it's less of a joke because we're frequently thinking on the same brain wave about things. But as alike we are, we lead two separate lives on the two opposites ends of the country.

I, Danielle, live in Arizona. I'm turning 21 in 44 days! (EEP!!) I currently work as a hostess at a restaurant, temporarily. I attended culinary school majoring in Patisserie and Baking because of my absolute love of being in the kitchen. Unfortunately due to a lot of different circumstances, I didn't finish. I still plan on pursuing my ultimate dream of opening up my own bakery someday, but right now the baking is done in my kitchen on a smaller scale taking orders from home. I can frequently be found shopping, reading, or obnoxiously posing in pictures with my head tilted and my hand on my hip. I'm very much your typical girly girl. I love the color pink and lots of sparkly things, but I also love sports especially baseball and football! (Go Mets & Jets!!) You'll see a lot of not only beauty/makeup posts from me, but also fashion, recipes, and lifestyle. I can also be found on twitter, tumblr, pinterest, and my own personal blog.

I'm Hannah, an almost 20 year old college student in Charlotte, NC. I go to a sweet little private school in my home city- and I'm loving every minute of my journey to becoming an English teacher.  I'm a sorority woman (my affiliation is private right now for recruitment since I'm a recruitment counselor) and I am truly blessed to have such amazing sisters! I'm a tv junkie, a musical lover, and I'm quickly becoming a crafter. My passions, outside of English and education, mostly revolve around beauty. I'm that girl with a ridiculous collection of nail polish, and I firmly believe that a trip to Ulta can fix anything! I'm truly a family girl, but I extend that love to my closest friends. My time off is spent painting my nails, laughing with sisters, and watching too much tv. I'm also a Crohn's disease survivor- and I am fighting every day for my health.  Sometimes the hardest things in our lives are the things that make us who we are, you know? Expect everything from lifestyle, to southern fashion, food, television, crafting, and of course beauty from my posts. You can find me on tumblr, twitter, my personal blog, and pinterest! 




We invite you to not only follow our blog, but also find us on twitter and youtube too! We'll be tweeting new posts and updates and our youtube will feature not only typical beauty videos, but also vlogs of our lives. Check out our links on the right sidebar!
