3 Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

So maybe fashion isn't the first thing everyone thinks of when it comes to Thanksgiving. Clearly, important things like food and wine are more memorable. Nevertheless, dressing for Thanksgiving can be super fun. (Not to mention it's a totally perfect excuse to amp up your usual fall outfit.) Here are three Thanksgiving outfits to draw inspiration from: My Thanksgiving rules are as such: non-constricting (so you can eat as ravenously as you choose without worrying about clothing looking too tight) and cozy. Look #2 is basically the...

This Week’s Pinterest Highlights

BEAUTY After perusing DIY skincare routines on Instagram, I came upon witch hazel and instantly decided to try it out. I hopped on the witch hazel bandwagon about a month ago, but I've yet to try this DIY brightening toner. I think I'll give it a go this upcoming weekend. HOME DECOR When it comes to decor, I'm not huge on color. My last apartment was gray, white, black, and beige, just to give you a reference point. But I've kind of fallen in love with this mustard...

Lipstick Shades Perfect for Fall & Winter

Fall and winter makeup are completely different beasts. Skin dries out, flakes, and craves extra attention and moisture. It's not just the way you apply makeup and take care of your skin that changes; style changes, too. When I think of fall and winter makeup, darker shades come to mind, particularly with lips. Keeping this in mind, I rounded up shades I think are perfect for these chillier months. ...

This Week’s Pinterest Highlights

BEAUTY This GlamGlow product has gotten rave reviews as far as I've seen. It's available at Sephora, but it's $69. I'm not sure if I can justify paying so much money for a face mask, even if tons of Pinterest users proclaim its awesomeness. {Glam Glow super-mud clearing treatment mask} HOLIDAY What better way to get into the Thanksgiving spirit than with these festive gourds? {Gourd tealight holders} FASHION The "Vans" style shoe is making quite the fashionable comeback. These are from Anthropologie and they come in black and silver glitter as well....

Three Fall Style Ideas

Fall changes everything when it comes to fashion. It's the appropriate time for adorable ankle booties and comfy, cozy sweaters. Because this time of the year is one of my favorite seasons to dress for, I've compiled three autumnal looks below that you should feel free to emulate or draw inspiration from. Look #1: I think it's the berry lipstick that really pulls this look together. It might be one degree too matchy-matchy (which I assure you is not my taste at all) but I think the...

What Did I Think Of My October Ipsy Bag?

What did I think of my October Ipsy glam bag? It was a great mix of products I loved, products I didn't care for, and products that pleasantly surprised me. (Side note: Apologies for the lateness of this post. Would you believe me if I confessed it's literally been crazy lately? Thanks.) MICA BEAUTY COSMETICS SHIMMER POWDER I'm going to be honest (aren't I always?) I wasn't too excited about getting this shadow in my Ipsy bag. The shade I received is called "Reluctance." I tried it...

Mini Haul: Sephora & Drug Store Make-Up Haul

There's been a few beauty products I've had my eye on lately and since I've been in desperate need of a restock, my recent trips to Sephora and Walgreen's have been way overdue. Here's a look at my "mini" beauty haul of makeup, haircare products, and more. BENEFIT POREFESSIONAL PRIMER Missglamorazzi (aka Ingrid Nilsen) raves about this product in so many of her YouTube videos, so it's been on my radar for a while now. While I'm really happy with my current Bare Minerals primer, I can't wait...
