Fall Fashion

Am I really already thinking about Fall right now?

It's been so chilly here lately, who can blame me. The windows are closed at night, and the heat is turned on in my car in the early mornings or late night drives. Since when does the temperatures in mid August range from 55-70 degrees fahrenheit in Michigan? NEVER. It's certainly making me want to whip out my boots, sweaters, and long sleeve shirts though.

With that said, I have been finding Fall Fashion inspiration all over. Stores already have great selections out, and cute ideas are being posted all over Pinterest and blogs. Below are Fall styles I think I'll be sporting this year.

Obviously, black is my main color of choice. I don't know what it is about black, that I've always loved. Probably the fact that it's sliming, edgy but sophisticated, and just classic. Incorporating pops of Fall patterns and colors like red, orange, brown, gold, green, etc will add a cute touch and be an eye catching focus with whatever you decide to go with, whether it be a bag, scarf, boot, or sweater.

What's your Fall style plans? Any must haves you're lusting over for the chilly season quickly approaching?

Jewelry Haul

Something randomly came over me this week that made me want to shop for accessories. It all began when I walked into Target during my lunch break at work to get something to eat at their cafeteria. I passed the jewelry section and so many things caught my eye! Sparkly necklaces to pretty gold bangles and strapey bracelets jumped out at me. I couldn't help but get a few. I also did a little jewelry shopping online at Etsy and Express. I'm obsessed with gold, studs, and chains right now, as you will see with everything I purchased in the pictures below.

Here I am wearing some gold bangle bracelets from Target. I have to admit they were pretty pricey coming from there, ranging from $14-20, but each piece is so beautiful even on it's own. 

I got this from Etsy. It's a dainty gold necklace with the infinity charm. One of my friends already has a cute side ways cross so I wanted to have my own little staple piece. This is just something simple I plan to wear on a daily basis.

This is a Gold ID Plate Necklace from Express. These are becoming popular among celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna. One of my favorite youtube gurus ~SMLx0 wore a necklace similar to this and it was gorgeous on her. She got it from the etsy shop called theblingbling. However, this one is a little more sleek and less chunky than the ones at that etsy shop.

I got this beautiful gold braided chain necklace, also from Express. The same youtube guru I mentioned above has shown this off in a few of her videos and I am obsessed with it. It's so summery and pretty. It can dress up any outfit and be the main eye catching focus.

Obviously, I am loving gold jewelry right now! What is your favorite accessory?

Clothing Haul

Hi guys, sorry I've been a little MIA. I was off enjoying our 4th of July/Indepenence Day vacation up north at the lake and wasn't able to get on a computer, let alone get service on my phone which was torture at times.

I had a little shopping spree the weekend before the 4th, so thought I'd share what I picked up. At the store Windsor, I found some really cute lace crochet shorts. They had a bunch of colors, but I decided to go with navy and a pale pink/peach color. I really didn't need two, but they fit so good! I love that they almost look like a skirt at times but feel like shorts.

I ended up getting two tye in the front tops, one in tan and one in white. I'm a little disappointed because I took the tags off and washed them and when I put one on, it had a small run on the chest area. :( The quality of the material obviously isn't the greatest. I still think they're nice though. I also got an adorable pair of brown sandals that were just so beachy and pretty, I couldn't pass them up!

I went to H&M next and found some more shorts. They are the brand &Denim which always fits me perfectly! It made me happy that they fit me in a size smaller than I normally buy too, which is always a great feeling! :D The first one is a strange pattern, and I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first, but I really like them on. They have a pretty shimmer to them and are just so pretty!

That is all! 

I just ordered a bunch of lip products at walgreens so expect a post about them very soon!

Small Haul

Even though all I really needed was a birthday card for my younger brother & father's day card, I did a little browsing at Target. Can you blame me? No one has self control there. Here are the things I picked up.

Cheetah Print Scarf: It's really light and airy. There's nothing worse than a bulky scarf to me. I can't wait to wear this to spice up a casual outfit. I'd pair this with a white tee and some denim shorts, or black leggings.

Loreal Magic Lumi Primer: This has gotten great reviews! I'm excited to try this out and see how it differs from the Benefit Porefessional and Maybelline Instant Age Rewind primer that I currently use. I have other Loreal Lumi products that I love, so I'm sure this won't disappoint. 

Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara: I'm a sucker for thin brush wands since I have rather thin and sparse eyelashes (thanks dad!). I feel like it's easier to get up in there to the lash line. I haven't ventured out too much with mascaras. My long time favorite has been Maybelline's Great Lash mascara. I've currently been using the Too Faced Lashgasm which is amazing, but is sadly running out.

Coppertone Tanning Spray: It's that time of year where we live in our bikini's, and naturally we want to get some sun while we're at it. I've always been a sun worshiper (bad me, I know). I made sure it wasn't the lowest SPF but not the highest either, so I can still get some UV rays. I like sprays because it feels more lightweight. I'm not very picky of the brands. I feel like they all do their job.

Clearasil Ultra Cleansing Pads: I've used this for years! It's my holy grail. My skin always feels really refreshed and clean after using it. I struggle with small hormonal acne breakouts and I feel like this helps fight it off. I use this every night before bed or anytime I wash my face. I'll share my night time skin care routine in a later post. 

That's it! Do you like these products? Tell me if this is something you've used and enjoyed!
