Hello hat season! Breaking out my favorite black beanie for this look was such a wonderful moment. I felt so cozy with it on, so I decided to amp up the warmth with an oversize wool sweater. To me, this outfit just screams fall weekend. Whether you're going for brunch, a walk around town, or to do a bit of holiday shopping, this ensemble will keep you cozy and comfortable the entire time. Of course, I think it looks pretty cool too. Then again, I may be a bit biased :)

P.S. Have you seen my closet on Poshmark? So many fun things for girls (and guys too)!

ipsy november 2016.

What a stellar assortment!

My Ipsy November bag is such a winner. It has all the essentials that will help me start off the holiday festivities on the right note!

The Bag: Gorgeous! I love the blue and gold combination. The star charm on the zip is pretty and matches perfectly with the lovely makeup constellation designs on the bag itself. I'm a major fan of stars and space, so this was right up my alley.

Bon Vivant Botanical Pure Masks: I've seen Ipsy include mask packs in a variety of past bags, even though I personally have only received them once. Getting an assortment this time was such a perk. I love that each of them are aimed at different types of skin, since my skin changes based on the weather. Can't wait to test these out!

Elizabeth Mott Color is Bae Liquid Laquer in Red Chili: Elizabeth Mott has done me well in the past. I used up her black sparkle liquid liner in no time. This red liquid lipstick looks 100% opaque and is a perfect true red. I'm hoping it lasts a while during the day.

theBalm Cosmetics Mad Lash Mascara: I have a lot of mascaras, I'll admit. But this one by theBalm looks like a curl lover's heaven. The wand is super curvy and the formula looks very black. This will be great for dramatic winter eye looks.

Formula X Nail Polish in Huntress: I love when a color is more gorgeous in person than it is online. This polish looks like a dark green chrome on the Ipsy website but appears as a green/black/blue/gold medley up close. I'm in love.

Ofra Cosmetics Banana Powder: This was the only miss for me this month. I use powder, but not often enough that I need a new one every other month. I'll hold onto it and see how it goes though.

What did you get this month? I'm excited to rock that red lip!

skinny jeans + ankle boots.

Skinny jeans and ankle boots has been my go-to fall outfit formula as of late. On days when I can't be bothered to think about what to wear, this combo is on standby. The best part is that there are so many ways to tweak this look. I love the slightly modern boho feel of this mix of skinny blue jeans and printed boots, but I also love pairing dark denim with fringe booties or biker jeans with moto boots. There are so many possibilities!

On another note, how cute is this nail polish name? Leaf Him at the Altar is one of my favorite shades of green.

P.S. Have you seen my shop on Poshmark? Lots of goodies available! Plus, I now have a men's closet.

the color mustard.

First of all, can I just say how much I love this jacket? I've worn it potentially too much recently (like here and here). It's the perfect layering piece though, so I don't really feel bad about repeating it so much. #sorrynotsorry

That isn't my main focus this post, but I noticed the jacket in some of my recent pictures and felt the need to mention it.

Back to the point: these pants. I feel like a lot of people are love/hate on the color mustard. Personally, I used to hate it. Not only did I dislike the way it looked in outfits, but I was also turned off by the color in general. That was until I discovered this sweater. Since then, I've done a complete 180 and fallen in love with the yellow-toned hue. You know it's love when it ranks close to oxblood, perhaps my all-time favorite shade to wear.

I scouted out these pants in Italy at the beginning of this year. I own the same ones in black (although the construction is slightly different on these new ones), and love them. Of course, when you really love something, you either wear it to death, buy multiples, or both. That was me with the black pants. So now I have them in two shades and I couldn't be happier.

Plus, mustard pants go excellently with leather jackets :)

autumnal essentials.

autumnal essentials

Putting together this look gave me a massive urge to go shopping. It's to be expected, I guess. Autumn is the season that embraces all of my favorite colors, from rich oxbloods and burgundies to golden mustards and deep forest greens. Perfection!

I'm in love with this sweater. From the cut-out neck details to the gorgeous knit and draped waist, everything about it has me sold. Of course, I'd have to pair it with some super fitted distressed black skinnies. The contrast between tight denim and baggy sweaters is ideal for fall dressing. Throw on a wooly plaid scarf and a tough leather (or pleather) jacket and you have the formula for the perfect autumn outfit.

ipsy october 2016.

All the Halloween feels with this bag!

Happy Halloween! I thought today would be perfect for my Ipsy October review, since the bag is so on-theme. Here we go!

The Bag: I love that the Ipsy team paired up with an illustrator for this bag. The pictures are super cute and pop nicely against the soft pink.

Noyah Natural Lipstick in Currant News: First of all, can we appreciate how apt the name is? Props to whoever came up with that one. The sample size is admittedly tiny, but I love the natural composition and deep berry color. It applies lighter than it looks in the tube. I'll be getting use out of this one during the next few months!

theBalm Cosmetics CabanaBoy Blush: Another tiny product, another gorgeous color. I love the moody mauve color. It's perfect for the cooler season when I want to get that warm flush. We'll see how I manage with picking up product from the tiny square though.

Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker Fragrance Rollerball: I was so happy when I saw this was coming in my bag. I'm a major SJP fan and have been wanting to try out her fragrance. It is a light, natural floral that is ideal for everyday use. This is one of those perfumes that I can throw on for any occasion.

Essence Cosmetics Superfine Waterproof Eyeliner Pen: I know this isn't the most high end product, but it's probably the one I was most excited to receive. I'm almost out of my Starlooks liner pen (good pigmentation, not the best point), so I'm in need of a new one. The point on this Essence pen is super fine, which means it will be a dream to apply.

Preventive Measures 101 Lips 101 After Hours: Let's just call this what it is: chapstick. It may be branded as an overnight lip treatment, but I'll be using this at all hours just like any other lip balm I own. Not the best thing I've ever gotten in my bags, but still a practical item.

leather jacket season.

Tis the season! The season for layering and leather jackets that is. I'm all about the crisp fall weather and cozy outfits that go along with it. I recently broke out my leather jackets and scarves and have been so happy with that decision. You just can't go wrong with a leather jacket thrown over pretty much anything and a pair of boots to match.

Throw in a steaming cup of coffee and a slice (or two) of apple pie, and this girl's in autumn heaven.
