Be Thankful

"No one has ever become poor by giving." -Anne Frank

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating all that you have with your family and friends! This quotes gives a new perspective on this day. Yes, we should reflect on all that we are lucky to have, but also think about the people who do not have a safe and loving home filled with people they love. Be sure to give time to people in need. I promise you will gain more than you can imagine than any time you may lose. Something as little as donating food to a shelter will go miles. Thank you so much for reading.

Have a lovely weekend and don't be afraid to take an extra slice of pie!

Would you rather...

Boots or booties?

Hey, November! Where did you come from? Well, after months and months of sandals, I am always so excited to break out the boots and to create outfits around them. But then comes the decision of which pair to wear? Do you go for the edgy black leather booties or the classic brown riding boots? Decisions, decisions...

I'm more of a tall riding boots person, but I also love the look of booties with a dress or sweater. Here are some classic looks that give ideas on how to wear both boot styles.

So tell me......boots or booties? I know I need to pick up a new pair of OTK boots!

It is crazy to think Thanksgiving is in two weeks and Christmas will be here before you know it! I am cherishing all things fall before we have to say goodbye for a whole year. Soon it will be all about peppermint and sparkly gifts {and I have no problems with that}! How has your fall been so far?

Fall Beauty Inspiration

Is it weird to have a favorite make-up season? Well if it's wrong, then I do not want to be right!


Fall make-up is all about dark, sultry colors like plum, bronze, and scarlet (and these might just be my favorite colors!). I am in love with fall make-up looks and I have been overwhelmed with inspiration from Pinterest, YouTube, and around the Internet. This look from Jaclyn Hill - LOVE! I love a dark bronze eye paired with a deep plum lip, or even smoky eye with a nude lip. They are so perfect for fall to go with sweaters and dresses. Although these looks may be more for the evening, I have been loving a subtle-smoky brown eye paired with a glossy pink-plum lip for everyday.

Nails are just as important as make-up. Ironically I love the same colors for my nails - browns, purples, and nudes. Recently I have been switching between a dark purple-almost-brown color and a nude nail with glitter. Random fact - my favorite nail polish brand is Ulta. The colors are so pigmented and most of them are quite glossy on their own. They are pretty durable and they last me about five to six days with a base coat, two color coats and sometimes a top coat. Also you can usually catch them on sale for two dollars a bottle, yep that's right TWO dollars! Definitely try the shade "Aubergine Queen", it's my favorite. The nude color I have been using is OPI Tutti Fruti Tonga. It's an old shade so I'm not sure if it is still available. Other colors perfect for fall are reds, blues and any pretty much any deep color. I am in love with the Essie Fall Collection, so definitely check it out!

And as for hair, two words: volume and waves.

Here's some inspiration...
