Fall/Winter Haul

Hello everyone!

I realized sometime last week that I only have one pair of jeans and the weather is cooling down. So I decided to go out yesterday to buy some Fall/Winter clothing. I went to Express.

I bought two pairs of jeans in the store, both dark wash regular length. I'm 5'10, so they were a little short. I plan to wear them with my combat boots from last season, this pair from Steve Madden.
I ordered a few more pairs online from in the store, because they sell a 'tall' size on the website. So if you are a tall girl like me who has trouble finding jeans that work, Express is the way to go.

I also purchased this sweater. I like the length and cut, and that it's a little oversized.

Leggings were on sale, so I picked up two pairs. I really like this pair. It has pleather panels on the sides that continue onto the back. I don't usually wear leggings, but they look great with chunky sweaters in fall and winter.

The last item I picked up was this skirt, I think it will be great paired with a maroon top for the holiday season ahead.

I will be doing a post about hair later in the week.
Love you guys!

Here's my beauty tip for this week:

Winged eyeliner and matte eyeshadow look amazing in the fall months. Now, I know that the perfect eyeliner flick is hard to achieve,

but this amazing creation has simplified it SO much for me. You can probably find at your local drugstore, like I did, or get it online. Either way, it is a necessity.
I also highly recommend getting a matte eyeshadow palette if you don't have one already. Aim for one that has a color similar to your skin tone, as well as one hue darker, and one shade lighter.

Some quick eyeshadow instructions:

1. Apply a little bit of eyeshadow primer (concealer works too) all over your lid.
2. Place the medium eyeshadow color sparingly over your lid, which will help blend the other colors.
3. Blend a little bit of the darkest color (should be dark brown, not black) into the crease of your eyelid where there is a natural shadow. I like to also touch a little of this color to the shadow below my lower lip.
4. Lastly, use the light color on the inner corner of your eye, under your eyebrow, and a little on the center of your eyelid. I also like to apply a little of a shimmery light color on my cupid's bow on my upper lip.
5. And most importantly, blend! The key to a good eyeshadow look is to blend everything well.

I also like to use a tinted lip balm, like this one from Bareminerals. I personally like the dark berry one. It's moisturizing and adds a little color without sparkle. They have a handful of shades that will look great with a variety of skin tones. Love you guys, and happy makeup!

Hello Everyone! 

I have decided to start this blog over, and will be releasing at least one post a week. This week, I'll be talking about some quick fall style/beauty tips.

Style Tip #1: Tights.
I love tights because they let you seamlessly switch your wardrobe from summer to fall. Pull on a pair of sheer black under a sundress, and you're good to go!

This pair from Forever21 is great if you want something simple. 
Or this pair from Urban Outfitters to add a cute detail to your outfit.

Style Tip #2: Flannels

Flannels are great because they add a layer that can be removed as the day progresses. At least in California, it's sweater weather in the morning, and tank top weather by the afternoon. You can wear jeans and a tank top, or ever a casual dress, and throw the flannel over to keep cozy. When it gets hot in the afternoon, tie the flannel around your waist.

Click here to look at the Uniqlo website. They have an awesome variety of colors. Pricey, but worth it.

I'll be putting up another post later this week with some beauty and hair tips.
Love you guys!
