With flash

Natural lighting



I want to thank everyone who gave me great advice on which Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac to choose - black or charcoal? It was such a difficult decision! Honestly, I wanted both. But, I ultimately went with the charcoal after so many of you pointed me in that direction. I couldn't be happier with my choice! I love my new little bag! The grey leather is so soft and supple. It's a very neutral color, although it does lean more cool toned because the grey looks a tad bit lavender or taupe in some lighting. I actually am even more pleased with the color in person. It's a really adorable but functional bag. You can alter the straps or completely remove them, which means the possibilities for styling are endless. It will look great with so many of my Fall/Winter clothes and accessories. More pictures of this in action to come :)

Cream rose printed crop top - F21, Nude cami (underneath) - F21, Grey pleated skirt - Banana Republic, Pumps - Nordstrom Rack - Necklace - F21, Bag - Chanel classic flap, Earrings (unseen) - Sonya Renee


If I were to put together an "ideal" outfit, meaning a look that epitomizes everything that I love about fashion, this look would be it. Fall slowly forces me to kick off my beach girl sandals and breezy tanks in favor of feminine pleats and sophisticated pumps. I carefully prop my bag onto my shoulder, and I am instantly transported to a different feeling, one in which I stand up taller and walk with more purpose. I feel like a new person in these pretty clothes. Isn't that what fashion should do?

Please be kind! This isn't my best hair day, trust me. I just decided to go for it. Don't worry, I won't make it a habit :)




Two things: I forgot the 5th fall makeup item! I only mentioned 4. The fifth product would be a highlight powder of some sort. I use highlighters and luminizers more in the Fall because they brighten up my dull complexion.

Also, in watching this video I realize that I say DEFINITELY a lot! I apologize for the monotony. As I stated at the beginning of the video, I am not at all comfortable being on camera so I was nervous and stumbling around a bit in my wording. I dreaded speech class in school :) The written word is much easier for me than the spoken.

I tag all of my readers! These are fun to watch. Thank you to Nina for thinking of me.



I hope you enjoyed it anyway!

My friend wore a beautiful burnt orange blouse by Gibson last weekend. I wanted it so badly!
I went to Nordstrom to try it on earlier this week, but it wasn't very petite friendly so the SA suggested this one by Bellatrix.
I am in L-O-V-E with all of the big pussybow blouses this season.

Of course this is my absolute favorite :)



What are your Fall favorites? Please tell me!

As November draws to an end, I can feel Winter looming just around the corner. It has been blustery here in California, and I mean blustery! I find myself reaching for anything warm, and have decided that if Fall has been a predictor of things to come then I need a real winter coat. Stat! My trench coats and my little quarter-sleeve jackets, perfectly acceptable in years past, are now looking more like Summer garb. I need something more substantial for freezing temps.

I'll be sad to see Fall go. I love Fall! It's the happy medium between cold and hot, at least it was until this year. Instead of doing monthly favorites, I'm going to switch things up and do seasonal favorites i.e. Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring. I think it will be far more relevant and truthful than struggling to come up with a new list each month. Sound good? Good! Here are my favorites for the Fall season:


In case anyone has wondered if I still love MUFE Mat Velvet +, the answer is a resounding yes! I have used it ever since I reviewed it, and I am about to purchase my third bottle. I don't really use anything else, maybe just my Korres tinted moisturizer on lazy days. This stuff is amazing.

Once strictly a natural kinda girl, I've changed my ways this Fall and delved right into color on my lips. The effect is pretty and glam, yet still modern and fresh. I think because nude lips have been so popular for so long, color has come back to spice things up a bit. I'm addicted.

Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette. This pic was taken when I first bought it, and now I've hit pan. I must admit I don't use the darkest color, but three out of four isn't bad for the price. This is creamy, smooth, and perfect for covering my undereye circles, as well as the blemishes I've been dealing with for the past year.

You can take away all of my other palettes, quads, and shadows but you can't take away my UD Naked Palette. I'm telling you girls, if you don't already have this please do yourselves a giant favor and go get one. They are permanent thank goodness, and even if you aren't a beauty junkie like myself, this palette is really all the makeup you need. Best beauty purchase I've ever made, and I use it every day!

Flowerbomb La Vie En Rose. The delicate balance between floral, citrus, and vanilla.

Phytocitrus Restructuring Mask. I use this deep conditioner about twice a week, and I see a difference each time. It is pricey, but I've had it for a few months now and most of the product is still left. It was a nice splurge.


Now onto some Fashion:

Cardigans are always a staple for me, pretty much any time of year but I especially wear the heck out of them come Fall. This year, I'm really into cardis with pockets and detailed buttons. They have to be super soft as well. I swear I own around 15!

Nudes, blush, cremes, soft greys, and leopard print galore! Colors I will carry with me into Winter. I couldn't be happier that animal prints are on trend, although aren't they always?

These flats are amongst my favorites (I am wearing them now actually). Flats, flats, flats. I can't get enough.


What have been your favorites this season? What trends will you carry into Winter? I need some help girls because when it comes to Winter - let's just say I'm not a fan.
