Day Off

.

Nothing is better than a day off and putting on your favorite jeans, a white tee, a flannel, and your favorite fall boots to run around in. I covered up my obvious bed head with my over-sized knit hat and I don't think anyone noticed. 

I finally had a day to catch up on.....laundry. Woke up early this morning to see my little sister off for school then ran quick errands that needed much to be done. Came home made lunch for my beautiful friend Natasha and I and just had girl time in the afternoon since we haven't been in each other's presence in so long. Now here I am sitting at my usual spot in Panera studying drinking hazelnut coffee instead of a latte because their expresso machine is down. Like seriously? I need my expresso.

Service for Your Lips

I don't know about you guys, but with the cold weather coming up, my hands, hair, face, and lips become extremely dry. I can not go a day without lipstick and during the winter time, to keep my lips in perfect condition for lipstick I use these two products. It takes less than 5 minutes!

Fresh Sugar Lip Polish : This product is pretty much the "good stuff." Take a little dollop on your finger and scrub it all over your lips. I like to do it twice a week. The formula is rich and you can instantly feel your lips being conditioned right away. Then rinse off with warm water and your lips will feel super soft and renewed.

Bobbi Brown Lip Balm :  Put this under your lipstick or wear it by itself and your bound to have moisturized lips all day. The reason why I love this lip balm is because it's not sticky and you don't have to reapply all the time. The formula isn't glossy nor is it matte, it leaves a natural sheen for healthy looking lips. Apply this after the "Fresh Sugar Lip Polish" for the perfect compliment.

The Sweater Weather Post

Three words: I. Love. Sweaters. Over-sized sweaters that is. I can't stress enough how hard it is for me this year to find the perfect sweater, but I finally found the winner for $20 at H&M which is such a steal. Rather than wearing it with leggings and classic tall boots, I decided to have fun with it by wearing a white skirt from a suit set of mine. This dresses down the skirt, but dresses up the sweater at the same time so you have the perfect combination of dressed up casual. Adding the knee high socks with my ankle boots and my favorite hat of course completes the whole look by giving it a sense of coziness. In the meantime, the hunt continues for more sweaters.

Autumn Essential

Autumn is finally here! I felt the chill in the air today and was so ready to pull out all of my fall clothes. The one essential I must have for Autumn is a great (faux) fur vest. I got this one from H&M last season and am obsessed with it because of how its so simple and fitted. It doesn't make me look like Chubaka.

To make my classic white button down more interesting I buttoned it and tied it at the bottom into a knot. Then I paired it with the vest and wore these amazing two toned pants; leather in the front, knit in the back. Finish it with a great pair of minimalist heels and a hat and you're set to go.

Hello Stranger.

Hello Hello. I know I've been gone for so long. My life has been crazy, BUT I AM BACK. This past Labor Day I ventured off to the state of 10,000 lakes (Minnesota) for my cousins wedding. We drove 16 long hours and made it there and back safely. It was really great seeing all of the family celebrating together since we are all spread out across the U.S. 

I snagged this turquoise/jade, ethereal , asymmetrical dress from BCBG Maxazria for the wedding. I fell in love with it instantly and paired it with black and gold accessories and my two strap nude heels from Zara.
