Friday's Fancies: Crushing on Hot Orange

Here at HLNC, we crush on *lots* of things and lately our color crush has been on anything and everything hot orange. So when {av} prompted us to explore whatever color our heart craves for this week's Friday's Fancies, we decided to not just create an outfit, but to create a board for what we like to call a "hot orange lifestyle"...

Jayme's Ulta Haul (feat. Laura Geller, Tarte, Essie & more)

As mentioned in my recent Sephora haul seen here, I thought I was done with the beauty products for a bit and as you can see I was wrong.  I just couldn't resist the 20% off at Ulta!!! I'm weak I tell you! :-)

Have you guys been to Ulta lately? I'd love to know what your latest beauty purchases have been.

No Cramping Her Style...Pippa Middleton

We just passed the one year anniversary of when we first started to take notice of Miss Pippa Middleton. Remember when she stepped out on the scene at her sister's Royal wedding? Who could forget? She was a vision in white, thanks to Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, and she in fact received just as much attention as her big sister Kate. Nothing captivated us more than the detail on the back of her dress and her um...do we dare say...her backside. :-)

And since the wedding, Pippa has been in the news her fair share, so we thought we'd specifically take a look at her fashion and see what you guys think. Normally Kate, who is always elegantly dressed, gets the attention but we can't leave out little sis.

Just yesterday she stepped out in a chic color blocked sweater, skinny jeans and over-sized black sunnies. Love this sweater!

Keeping on trend with colored jeans paired with a sleek black blazer. We really like how she is rocking a ponytail with this casual look.

White jeans and a bright royal blue blazer from Zara. We have read that Zara is a favorite of hers. Psst, hey Zara...come to Richmond!

Blazers and flats appear to be go-to pieces in Pippa's wardrobe. We love how she has on the playful Maje shorts and paired the blazer with a really fun hobo bag. Perfect for a day on the town!

Here we see her take her more classic look and make it a bit edgier. We like!

   Pippa looks stunning back in February while ice-skating. We don't know about you, but we probably wouldn't look this good while "trying" to ice-skate. She must have skills!

So what do you guys think? Is Pippa on her way to being a fashion icon? Is she chic like Kate or does she not even hold a flame? Let us know what you think!

Did Someone Say "Haul"?

Hope you guys enjoyed checking out some random things that we've bought recently. Chalk it up to us feeling super share-y...so much so that underpants were shown. We just became super tight.

Now would be a good time to drop us a comment to let us know that it's completely normal to share your new undies on video with the world. Right?? Right?? *crickets* Changing the subject...

So, what have you been buying lately and where's your favorite place to shop??
