When you use primer under your mascara, you don’t need to waste mascara by coating multiple layers to build volume. – when applying, start with your upper lashes, and (this will probably feel wrong at first but trust me) go from above your lashes and brush down first, coating the top of your lashes. Don’t let them dry this way, immediately go from below the lashes and swipe up as you typically would apply mascara, coating now the bottom/front of the lashes. When I apply this liner, I only use it on my upper lid, but I first line the underside of my lashes, along the waterline of my upper lid, as well as right above my lashes where you’d typically apply liner.

When it comes to pet friendly hotels in the area, it’s kind of a challenge to find one with clean rooms and good amenities that accept pets. I love The Asbury because they  have a fun pool, a rooftop club, cafe on the ground floor that serves quick bites/fresh juices and homemade pizza until late, and they accept dogs with the smallest fee I’ve ever seen. In addition, where most hotels will put you in a ‘pet room’ that are usually on the lower floors, at The Asbury you have your pick of any room in the hotel. The pet fee at The Asbury, if I remember correctly, was a flat $75 with no additional nightly ‘cleaning fee’ that so many other hotels sneak by with charging you.

It was one of those rare instances where the weather looked like it was going to be perfect, we didn’t have any pre-existing weekend obligations and there was still somehow availability at the hotel down the shore. In these photos, I’m wearing a new 2-piece set from Oh La La Cherie. The quality of this set is amazing and I love that the top is so versatile, you could even wear it going out under a blazer or a see-through shirt. This post was sponsored by Oh La La Cherie, but my opinions are my own.

This amazing bell-sleeved top from Tobi fits so well and pairs perfectly with everything else I’ve been wearing. I always prefer tops that fit tightly, which is why bodysuits are my go-to, and this one fits perfectly without sacrificing the fun trendy detail in the sleeves. The light gold studs and metal hardware are sturdy and I like how the bag is structured and keeps its shape.
