8 Items For The Perfect Fall Wardrobe…

Hi guys! Todays post is 8 items to achieve the perfect fall wardrobe. I mixed the latest fall trends along with a few classic items that will never go out of style for fall. To shop these items simply click on the picture of the item you want to look at below the collage and will take you directly to the website to shop. I enjoy making these collage posts to give tips or to show you guys my favorite items! I love looking at these posts on other girls blogs and I love creating them to mix things up from just everyday outfit posts. I also might just be making all these fall posts because I’m a little too excited for fall lol. Who’s with me though? Fall is probably my favorite season. I love all the clothes, food, and of course the weather during fall. But, the weather has still been very hot here so I’m going to have to wait a little longer before I can wear some of these pieces! I genuinely like all of these items and would never post anything I wouldn’t wear myself! I tried to include two pieces in different price ranges for each category to reach everyones interest! If you follow me on Instagram you’ve probably noticed I have a slight obsession with sock boots. I have them in so many colors and seem to still want more. They’re just so flattering to me and actually surprisingly comfortable. The purple Mango ones are one of my favorites. They’re the perfect dupe for the Balenciaga ones!

1. Chunky sweaters are a classic. These are great to invest to because they’ll never go out of style and you can transition them into the cold winter months.

2. If you know me, you know sock boots are my obsession. They’re actually really comfy and super flattering. They make your legs look so long and slim. You can pair these with jeans, a midi skirt, or a midi dress. Thats what they look best with!

3. Vintage jeans are HUGE right now. Especially wide leg and cropped straight leg ones. Levis has the best when it comes to these styles, they’re affordable, and long lasting quality. GRLFRND denim did a collab with FWRD and create this cute wide leg pair thats currently on sale.

4. Berets are so cute on literally everyone. So many companies have came out with a ton of different styles of berets lately. If you want one to also keep your head warm and to not just look cute I suggest getting a wool or wool blend one. These are paired great with dresses or jeans and a chunky sweater.

5. I’ve been getting into loafers lately. I recently found a heeled pair from Cole Haan that are a snake print and I’ve been wearing them non stop. Heeled loafers are very flattering with jeans! The loafers in the pictures above are more like driving loafers but still so cute and comfy. You can wear loafers with pretty much anything.

6. Burgundy dresses are a classic for fall. Any dark colored dress is beautiful in the fall but especially burgundy because its a classic fall color. I’ve got my eye on the & Other Stories one above currently. Burgundy dresses look great with loafers and black tights. Or you could even pair it with a black beret!

7. Every girl needs a trench coat in their closet end of story. They’re a timeless piece and something worth investing in. The Burberry ones are the best in the market and in my opinion the cutest! You can also wear trench coats in the winter and spring so you get your moneys worth when investing in a piece like this.

8. Midi skirts have taken over this year! One of my favorite trends I’ve seen with midi skirts is making it more of a street wear and edgy look. You can pair a patterned midi skirt with a champion sweatshirt or whatever your favorite sweatshirt is, sock boots, and a belt bag for an edgy look. Feminine meets edgy is a huge trend this year.

Thank you for reading. Have a great Thursday!

Touches Of Red…

Hi peeps! I’m here in a more casual look today but let me just say I’m obsessed with this Ouges sweater! You can wear it as a cardigan too unbuttoned too. I love how its so versatile and it has a hood so its good for rainy or those snowy days coming up! Its just as comfy and soft as the pretty yellow dress from the other day. This sweater also comes in two other colors so you’ve got other options if you don’t like this color. I can’t wait to wear this in the fall and winter when the air starts getting crisper! You guys need to check out Ouges and get a few things. They have a ton of trendy and affordable items! Plus their clothes are so soft and super comfy. How could you pass that up? Also, this purse I’m obsessed. This is the Selena Gomez x Coach purse that came out a little while ago. It also comes in a couple different colors but the red is a classic and get for this fall since the IT color is red!

Thank you for reading! Have a great day.

My Favorite Dress 2 Ways…

Happy Monday and welcome back! I hope you had a great weekend. I recently have been getting into wearing more dresses. I’ve never been a huge fan of causal dresses until recently when I learned a few styling tricks about them and now I want all the dresses and skirts! This is the softest and most flattering dress I’ve ever owned. Plus how cute is that ruffle detail? You can bring this one into fall as well and pair it with a cardigan, trench coat, or for a more edgy look a sport jacket! I highly suggest checking out Ouges, you can see all of the pretty pieces they have to chose from here. I can’t wait to wear this dress this fall with a pretty winter coat and tights. Yellow is one of the biggest colors this fall and of course red. This dress comes in several different colors if you aren’t a fan of yellow! I have my eye on the black and the pink one at the moment.

Thank you so much for reading. Have a great day!

11 Beauty Products That Actually Work…

Todays post is very long but has a lot of great information about all these products above. These are 11 of my favorite beauty products that I will always stan by. Plus they actually work! To purchase these items or take a closer look at them simply click on the picture of the item and it will take you straight there.

1. I have extremely thick hair and this brush is the only thing I’ve found that will actually comb through my hair and not hurt when its wet. I’ve tried different brands of these wet brushes but the actual brand Wet Brush works better than all of them. You do have to replace them around every 6 months because the bristles do start to wear but they’re very inexpensive!

2. I recently go these masks because I was seeing them everywhere. The rave over them was insane and I wanted to see if they lived up to it! These are 4 lace sheet masks. They have a chin strap and the main face mask part attaches around your ears which I really liked because you didn’t have to stop doing stuff. You can walk around and do things around the house without having to worry about them falling off. You leave these on for 40 mins and use one mask every single week. Each mask has different benefits for your skin. By the end of the 4 weeks the masks really do leave your skin looking brighter, your complexion clearer, and overall cleaner. You can reuse these masks twice each because they come with so much juice on them and in the pouches so its really worth the buy! They’re super relaxing as well.

3. I have been using this CC cream for around 2 years now and have found no other CC or BB cream that even compares to it. Its a very light coverage but very build-able so if you do want a fuller coverage you can add layers. This leaves my skin looking flawless but very breathable. I have a lot of freckles all over my face and I don’t like covering them and this evens out my skin tone but makes my freckles still showing. I love it! I always apply this with a damp beauty blender for a flawless look.

4. I recently purchased this perfume on a trip and wear it almost everyday now. Its one of the most long lasting perfumes I’ve ever worn. This brand has just a few scents out right now and after smelling this one it stuck with me and I loved it! Its a very light and clean scent. Those are the scents I tend to go for more than the really strong thicker scents. Nothing will ever beat my favorite Chanel No. 5 but this one for sure stays on longer thats why I chose it over Chanel No. 5. I highly suggest this one if you like clean smelling scents. It’s called Liquid Diamonds!

5. First off, I’m not a big fan of dry shampoo because I don’t usually like the way it makes my hair feel or look but this one is incredible! After you apply it you can’t feel it in your hair at all and the scent is just amazing! Every dry shampoo I’ve ever tried left my hair feeling dry and chalky. But no matter how much you spray in your hair, this one leaves it feeling so fresh! Sometimes I spray this in my hair even when its not dirty just because it smells so nice.

6. Skincare is so so so important. Especially as a teenager and in your early 20s. How you treat your skin in those years of you life truly depends on how it will look when you get older. You can do your research online on the best products to use for your age and skin type or even see a dermatologist which I highly suggest! This Drunk Elephant product is a liquid exfoliant with all kinds of good vitamins in it. I usually use this a few times a week in my night routine. Its very strong so don’t use it everyday. We don’t need to exfoliate our skin every single day! A few times a week will do. This product gets all the dead skin cells off your skin and repairs it with vitamins over night while you get your beauty rest. When you wake up your skin will be so soft, clear, and bright!

7. This is another skincare product which is sorta like an exfoliant but sorta not. This was suggested for me to use by a lady who was doing a facial on me in Miami and I have been thankful every since. I think a lot of us struggle with large pores around our nose every now and then or maybe for a long time. No matter how many pore strips or different products I used nothing worked for me until this Skinceuticals product came along. I apply a small amount on my nose (this is a liquid) at night during my skincare routine. After about a month went by of using this I was so shocked. I no longer have any visible pores on my nose at all. It keeps them clean and diminished them completely. I swear by this stuff!

8. Amika was kind enough to send me some of their hair care products and this one was my favorite of the bunch. It’s a hair mask that repairs and moisturizes your hair in just 2-3 minutes! You put this stuff on dry hair all over your head and leave it on for 2-3 minutes and then wash out. After washing out you wash your hair and you can either condition again or leave it. I usually always condition again to help manage my waves. This smells heavenly and left my hair feeling so soft and it looked so shiny. It comes in a huge tub so I haven’t finished it yet but I plan on doing so! My hair feels so healthy after using this stuff.

9. I just started using this mascara about a week ago and its already got a spot in my top beauty products. I like thick long lashes and this mascara gives me all of that and more! I don’t know if its just me but do you guys every have a problem with mascara making black spots on your under eyes throughout the day? I tried putting extra setting powder under my eyes to help this problem and a thousand other things and it kept happening to me until I switched to this mascara. Ever since I started wearing this I haven’t had that problem at all! So I think I’ll be sticking with this one for a very long time.

10. Everyone loves a good makeup setting spray, this Kate Somerville one is my favorite. Its a hydrating setting mist so even if you makeup is matte by the time you finish and you set it with this it will give you a beautiful dewy look. I love dewy makeup! This has the most refreshing feeling and leaves you glowing all day long. I always apply my highlight last and then spray this and it makes the glow times 10.

11. Last but not least, my trusty Givenchy concealer. This and the iT Cosmetics concealer are my two favorites. This ones leaves a more natural look which I’m into. If I’m going more heavy with the makeup or have mega dark circles that day then I use the iT Cosmetics one because its thicker and a lot brighter. But this Givenchy one is perfect for everyday makeup. It gets the job done and goes on so smoothly. It truly make your under eyes look completely flawless. I highly suggest this!

If you made it through this very long post then thank you for reading! Have a wonderful Saturday.

Workwear…

Happy Friday! The weather was gloomy and chilly again yesterday and I wasn’t mad about it because I could finally bring out this blazer and these vintage Levis. These jeans actually use to be my moms in the 90s and she passed them down to me once they could fit me! I love vintage Levis just about as good as any jeans. Now you can find the refurbished vintage Levis just about anywhere in any style you want! You could probably ask your mom or someone in your family and see if they have an old pair in good condition or a pair you can refurbish and wear them. Vintage clothing is so much fun to find and wear. Its like every piece of clothing has a story about it!

Big oversized blazers in a checkered print, velvet, or plaid are in big this fall especially in neutral colors. If you can’t find one you like in the women’s department, the mens department always has a ton especially in these prints. Also, Zara has a lot of blazers on there site right now but they sell out super fast so if you want to get one from there I suggest getting one fast! Here are some of my favorites at the moment. This one, this one, this one, and obsessed with this one. Blazers are always a classic item to have in your closet. You can pair them with jeans, sweats, or trousers, and always look chic and put together.

Thank you for reading. Enjoy your weekend!

Fall Is In The Air…

Hi peeps! We’re almost to the weekend! Who’s excited? It’s finally starting to feel like fall and I’m so pumped about it. Although its suppose to get hot again this weekend. I guess it’s still too soon to bring out the full fall wardrobe. I will be getting this crew neck in so many colors before the cold weather comes. I felt like I was wearing PJs all day long. Champion also makes the comfiest sweats and they’re super flattering. Just about as flattering and comfy as sweats can get. I’ll link them here for you guys. I wore them on the plane ride back from NYC and I’m glad I did because it made the flight that much better since I was in a comfy, cozy pair of sweats. I’ll probably be purchasing more colors in those too! Also, if you guys haven’t already noticed I’ve had quite the addiction to sock boots lately. They’re just so cute I can’t help myself! They’re also surprisingly comfortable compared to most heels I’ve worn. Sock boots are definitely a trend you ladies need to get on this fall!
