The Clunkster

Denim and Lace

Outfit of the DayKristenComment

A little while ago, I went on a shopping spree at Tilly's with my mom. I thought I had $90 on my giftcard, so I went nuts buying things, one of which was this adorable lace bodysuit. It turns out I only had $7... but I was still able to buy the bodysuit! I love how sensual and flirty it is. It's also super feminine, but it's black, so I'm a fan. I think black lace is so sexy.

I paired this sexy sheet of lace with my denim shorts and my black and white kimono, as well as my black Converse and new sunglasses from Spitfire. I think this is such a cute summer outfit, and I can't wait to wear it a ton this summer!

Monochromatic Week

KristenComment

Bralette. Pants (no clue I'm sorry). Sneakers. Sunglasses.

Lately, all of my looks have been super black and white, so I decided to dedicate this week on The Clunkster to these beautiful shades! To kick it off, we have these gorgeous patterned pants that a ~boy~ gave me for my birthday. We don't talk anymore, but I love love LOVE them. I chose to pair them with my bralette because I loved the way the lace looked with the pattern! To top it all off, I chose my black Converse and my new Spitfire sunglasses. Stay tuned for some more black and white looks...

Seven Reasons You Should Buy Kiss My Face's Newest Sunscreen

Cruelty-Free, Beauty, Beauty Review, Sponsored, WellnessKristenComment

You guys know how passionate I am about sunscreen. So when Kiss My Face asked me to review their new All Natural Dry Oil Spray Sunscreen in SPF 15, I couldn't say no! Read on to find out why you should get your hands on a bottle. 

1. It works!

The purpose of sunscreen is to keep your skin safe from the sun's harmful rays. This sunscreen did just that! One day I put it on my whole body, but I missed a spot behind my neck, and I got a nasty sunburn. But the rest of my skin was perfect! The sunburn sucked, but it proved how well the sunscreen works. It's also water resistant for up to eighty minutes, which is perfect for a day at the beach.

2. It still gives you a little tan

A lot of people don't use sunscreen because they want a tan. However, Kiss My Face's sunscreen gives you a little "sun-kissed glow." I'm hopelessly pale (thanks, Irish heritage...), and this sunscreen still gave me a little bit of color so I didn't look like I've been locked in my basement for ten years. 

3. Its ingredients

This vegan sunscreen is free of gluten, phthalates, SLS, parabens, and artificial fragrances. Since this sunscreen is air-powered, you don't need to worry about chemical propellants being in there either. It's made with vitamin E, coconut oil, argan oil, and green tea, ingredients that absolutely pamper your skin. So not only are you protecting your skin from harm, but you're only putting good things into it. 

4. It's animal friendly

I started using Kiss My Face because they made high-quality products that were cruelty-free (and vegan!). This sunscreen is no exception! It's so great to find a company that's as passionate about ending animal testing as I am. For this sunscreen, Kiss My Face partnered with the Beagle Freedom Project, an organization that aims to end animal testing and give released animals a second chance at a normal life. When you purchase this sunscreen from Amazon Smile here, a portion of the purchase will be donated to the Beagle Freedom Project. 

5. It's environmentally friendly

Kiss My Face makes a different type of spray that's just better in general because it's not an aerosol. It sprays from any angle, including upside-down, so it's perfect for getting those hard-to-reach places (like the back of your neck, when you actually remember to apply sunscreen there... but I'm not bitter...). It's not harmful to the environment like aerosols are. The bottle is also made of recyclable aluminum!

6. It smells yummy

I've always loved the smell of sunscreen! When I applied this, I also got a little hint of coconut from the coconut oil in the formula. As I mentioned before, this sunscreen is free of artificial fragrances, so you smell good, real good.

7. It's lightweight

Usually, sunscreen is gross and greasy, but not this one. This formula is so lightweight you don't even need to rub it in. I don't even feel like I'm wearing sunscreen! 

Basically, if you're looking for some high-quality sunscreen that actually works and does a lot of good for the world, look no further than Kiss My Face's All Natural Dry Oil Spray Sunscreen. Buy it here through their website, or here if you'd like to make a difference with the Beagle Freedom Project! Thanks Kiss My Face!

Colors???

Outfit of the DayKristenComment

Shirt (no longer being sold by 4SI3NNA). Shorts. Sandals (no longer being sold at Payless). Sunglasses.

If you read The Clunkster often, you know that I tend to stay away from colors. But when I found this shirt in my cousin's hand-me-down pile, I thought it was so cute and unique! It's got a pop of color (okay, it may be darker, but it's still color), and some adorable floral designs. I think this shirt paired with my denim shorts and gold sandals is a perfect look for summer!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day! I really love this look. My dad got me this shirt for Christmas, except I didn't get it until March because it took so long for it to ship! He gets super happy when I wear it, so I figured today would be the perfect occasion. Isn't it awesome? My dad and I bond over heavy metal and Star Wars, so there couldn't be a better shirt to represent our relationship.

I paired this masterpiece with my denim shorts and black Converse, to keep with the metal-y, rebellious vibes. I also threw a Sam Ash guitar pick into the flatlay because it was my uncle's, and unfortunately he passed away last week. This was my first Father's Day without him, but he's in my heart and I know he's with me!

To top it all off, I had a messy-haired, no-makeup vibe for the day. When I got cold, I threw on my dad's flannel. I figured it was fitting.

I hope everyone had a lovely Father's Day! Tell the men in your life you love them today. And if you don't have any father figures in your life, celebrate your ladies! You never need a reason to celebrate your ladies.
