Fall Boots

Can we all just take a moment and thank whoever was the first to create these kind of boots. I mean it's like a second layer to wear in the fall and winter! One of my favorite things about fall besides the amazing weather is the fact that I can wear boots. I am not sure why I have such an obsession but I do. I especially have an obsession with a great pair of knee high boots or thigh high boots. They pair great with leggings, jeans, skirts and dresses. Currently suede and faux suede knee high boots are everything, I am wanting every color and every style. I have posted a few of my favorites along with some great bargains at some of my favorite stores! I REALLY REALLY want a pair of Stuart Weitzman Highland Boots, a girl can dream, right?

On another note while we are talking pretty fall weather and being cozy. I never understood how people got into Christmas stuff in October, but as I have gotten older I think I am becoming that person. The thought of getting a Christmas tree, lighting my pine scented candles & listening to Christmas music is started to sound super appealing right now, and makes me alittle more cheery! So needless to say I am sure Jake will enjoy my enthusiasm when I start decorating early this year, haha.

Ponchos

Happy Monday!! Is it just me or do these beautiful weekends just fly by? It was a cold saturday! So I was super excited naturally, to break out my new knee high boots and this super warm poncho! Jake and I went to lunch and took a walk around these pretty trails, I love all the open trails and trees with the pretty leaves. It really felt like fall this day! Jakes birthday was Sunday so we just lounged around, it was a much needed day! These boots are pretty AMAZING and I am loving all ponchos this fall, they make a great alternative to a jacket on a pretty fall day:)

( I really wanted to get a cute picture of me blowing the leaves out my hands, this is the best we got!) haha :)

My Makeup Must Haves

1. Primer

A good makeup primer is the first step to any good makeup look. Not only does it work in place of a moisturizer but there are so many different ones that all address different issues before you begin with your makeup. There are pore minimizing primers, redness reducing primers, hydrating  primers, color correcting  and blemish control primers, My current go to primers are here Smashbox & Hourglass Veil ,side note *( I have tried A LOT of primers) and these have been the best  FOR ME so far. I have tried all of the smashbox primers but I usually tend to go for the redness reducing ( color correcting adjust) because sometimes I feel like it evens out my skin tones if you have any redness at all. Its green, which is little weird, but green cancels out red and it works great for me!  Veil is my next favorite this one literally makes your skin feel like silk, you can instantly feel the difference once you put it on.

2. Eye Shadow Primer

 This has been one of my biggest complaints when it came to makeup that I could never find a primer for my eyes that kept my eye shadow on for an 8hour workday & didn’t crease. After many trials, smashbox saved the day again; they came out with this AMAZING eye shadow primer Smashbox 24 Hour. I mean I tried it out on my hand before I bought it and the makeup doesn’t go anywhere. It’s even hard to get off with my makeup wipes, I am not complaining because it lasts!

3. Highlighter

 I absolutely love my highlighter. I think it can instantly transform any makeup look. I discovered it originally in my contour kits that I got, and never really got that much into it until I got the Becca highlighter. Its so pigmented and pretty and looks gorgeous on all skin tones! My current favorite one is Becca Champagne Pop but I also love this one too, Becca Opal. Champagne Pop seems to sell out a lot and it always seems to happen when I drop mine on the floor and it crackes everywhere! Needless to say it looks like it is currently in stock online :)

4. Nude Lipstick/Lipgloss

I get a lot of questions about what lip color I wear. Nude Lip stick/lipgloss is a must for my everyday running around. I always have some kind of nude lipstick in my purse. It goes with everything and is my absolute favorite. There is no color like Velvet Teddy by Mac for lipstick, its by far my favorite and for lipgloss Naked Urban Decay in the color Nooner. It will be a sad day if MAC ever discontinues Velvet Teddy. A great lip liner to go with these is MAC Whirl. I also love the MAC Whirl Lipstick as another nude option. 

5. Mascara 

Mascara, if you are in a rush and don’t have time to do a face full of makeup, than this is your go to. It can instantly make you look awake and refreshed. I have tried many expensive brands of mascara and not been super happy with any of them. One of my favorite you tubers introduced me to Loreal Telescopic. I haven't used anything else ever sense!

6. Beauty Blenders
I use my beauty blenders everyday! I use them after I put on foundation to blot any excess and to blend my concealer. I can tell a big difference if I do my makeup and don't use a beauty blender. I usually get, these,  these & these

7. Foundation
Foundation, is a tricky thing. I wish I could go into a store and color match myself but I lack that skill, haha. I am jealous of those who can do that! I would probabley end up with 5 shades too dark or something. I HAVE to have someone color test it on me. My current favorites are Mac Matchmaster & Makeup Forever . In the MAC, I wear the color 2.0. In Makeup Forever I wear the color Y255. In the fall and winter months especially I tend to opt for full coverage and these do the trick. They also photograph really well I have noticed!

8. Eye Shadow
Okay I have a weakness and it is eyeshadow palettes. When I go into Sephora, I immediately gravitate towards all the sparkly new makeup palettes. I have WAY too many, but my current favorites are my Morphe palettes. They come with so many colors and are SO pigmented. 

9. Brow Pens/Gel

This is a must have, Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow  and Brow Wiz.  I never realized for a long time that filling in your eyebrows was a necessity. But once I started, I saw what a difference it actually made. If you have ever had a wax job and need to fill in and make it look natural, these are your products. If your just looking for an everyday filler this is your product. I switch between the Brow Wiz and the Dip Brow. Recently since I have become a little better with it, I started using the Brow Wiz. It took some time to actually get the hang of it with the pen but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy!

I hope everyone has a great Friday and wonderful weekend! :)

Something Blue

 Oh how I love this flowy dress. When I saw it I knew that I had to have it. It is really light and a goes great with these cute booties. Bell sleeves are very popular right now and I find myself gravitating toward them. Not only was this dress just way too cute to pass up, it is also on MAJOR sale. Free People has always been one of my favorite brands, such great quality and always so pretty and versatile. There fall line is awesome right now! Oh and by the way, who else is LOVING this amazing weather??!

Easy Street

Fall is definitley here! I love all the colors and leaves on the ground, it really is beautiful!.This weekend Jake and I went to see The Girl On The Train movie. I have been wanting to see it ever since the previews came out! It was AWESOME. I never read the book so I didn't know at all what it was going to be about, which I think made it even better. Needless to say it was a nice relaxing weekend!

 I am also super excited about being able to finally break out some flannels, I snagged this one on MAJOR sale at Macys. It is so soft and comfy. I also love the fact that it has cute little pockets on each side and the ruffled bottom. These jeans are some of my favorite, this brand is really comfortable and the quality is amazing, they can be a little pricy sometimes but they do go on sale from time to time! That is when I snagged mine :)

ShopBop Sale

YAY its FRIDAY…and I am super excited to share my favorite pieces from the shop bop sale currently going on. It ends today at midnight, so I am a little late posting but you can get up to 30% off!! Thats AMAZING! I have posted a few items I am currently craving. I am really into purchasing jeans right now, I don't know what that is about but I guess they are just easiest to dress up or down in fall, and super comfortable! I am really obsessed with AG jeans and these lace up Sam Edelman heels, and to top it off these Jeffrey Campbell wedges I wanted this summer are on sale! Eekkk! All items linked below:)

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

TANGLED IN TULLE

I love TULLE. I think it is just such a fairy princess fabric. I don't know, but there is something about twirling around in a big tulle dress or skirt that makes you feel magical. I got to shoot awhile back with one of my favorite photographers, Jackie Jones. She is so fun and always makes me feel comfortable and lets me be myself, it also doesnt hurt that she loves fashion just as much as I do. This outfit was one of my favorites. It's very Carrie from Sex In the City. This is definitely not your everyday outfit, but one if you had a fun party, event, or photoshoot it would be great for :)
