Perfect Fall Outfit

Today is going to be short, sweet and stylish!

I wanted to share my go-to perfectly seasonal outfit for fall.

All you need is 4 main pieces:

1) A stylish scarf

2) A simple sweater

3) Jeans or leggings

4) Riding boots

Throw this outfit together, mix and match the colors and you are set to conquer the day in a fashionable manor. You can spice it up with boot socks (you can find how to make DIY boot socks in a past post) or some cute jewelry, style your hair and you are good to go.

Not every cute outfit requires a ton of energy, so here is a quick, easy fix for a cute fall outfit. Throw this together if you're in a rush or don't know what to wear!

No More Floppy Boots

DIY Boot Fillers! 

Calling all riding boot lovers, here's a practical, simple and cheap fix for your boots! 

Pool noodles are the perfect shape and size to fill your boots to keep them in great shape for as long as possible. All you have to do is but a few and cut them down to the size of your boots. 

I've been using blow-up boot fillers and magazines, but this is definitely my new go-to fill. I know we all have those favorite pair of boots, so if you store them right they'll last forever. 

Hope this helps all of the fashionistas that love their riding boots! 

Stay Shapely! XOXO 

RIP Oscar de la Renta

This blog post is a tribute to one of the most influential men in the fashion industry. 

All of the fashionistas are shocked and saddened by the news that the amazing Oscar de la Renta has passed away. 

Although he is not in this world with us any longer, his beautiful designs will live on and dominate the fashion world forever. 

We will miss the new looks on the runway and celebs at all the yearly events, but his memory and style will always be present. 

"Be the designer of your own destiny."

Go-To Chilly Weather Wears

Since today feels like a winter day, I figured I would share one of my go-to chilly weather outfits for fall.

 A simple shirt with a vest and a scarf. 

Flannels, prints, solid colors or thin knits are all perfect to throw on under a vest for fall. Like the look above, the flannel and fur vest look super cute together, or you can change it up however you desire. Throw on a simple scarf if you have a busy shirt, or a fun printed scarf if your shirt is plain and you have a fashionable, yet warm outfit to conquer the day with. 

You can pair this top half with jeans, leggings or really anything you think looks cute. Add a stylish pair of shoes and throw on some jewelry and you are all set to look perfect for fall. 

When in doubt, check my blog posts for outfit ideas for all types of weather!

Stay Warm! XOXO

Here comes Halloween!

Halloween is almost here & that means we are all scrambling to figure out the cutest costume we can possible put together for the night.

I think, as most other girls do, that dressing up scary on Halloween is just not cute... Halloween is a night to play pretend and dress up like a super girly animal, princess, celeb or really anything.

 

The picture above is just 4 of the millions of ideas for costume makeup for any Halloween party you may be attending. I know costumes can get expensive, especially having to buy all the accessories for the multiple parties you'll be attending.

 

So my suggestion is for one or all of your costumes, do a cute makeup look like the ones here, and then the actual costume can be simple and easy. These looks will get you noticed and will save you money.

 

Just as an example, for the deer costume makeup, you could wear a simple brown dress, or brown leggings and a long sleeve shirt, and spice it up with whatever shoes you want. I am likely to bet that you either will already have those things or you can borrow it from a friend, and viola! You now have a prize-worthy costume and you didn't have to drain your bank account in the process.

 

My favorite is definitely the deer makeup, just because its very different and I've never seen anything like that before, but the cheetah and the mermaid faces are super fun too. The sparkle mask is another favorite because you can use that for lots of different costume ideas, like a fairy, girly superhero, a princess and whatever else you can think of!

 

Hope these ideas helped you guys out!

 

Stay tuned for more posts each week & share your costumes!

Calling all followers looking for a change! Long Bobs (or as I call them, Lobs) are a great and easy hairstyle to amp up your new fall look. 

Since I have been absent on this page for quite a while, I figured I would start back up by posting about the new, short-haired, me! 

We all know, including myself, that long hair is amazing, and looks killer in those amazing hairstyles you see all over your Pinterest feed, but new hairstyles and cuts are a great way to create a new and improved image of yourself. 

I've always loved the lob look, but I was always too afraid to cut all my hair off. I finally took the leap of faith this past weekend, and I could not be happier with the result. I love the new me look and my hair is healthier than ever. 

Like most of you, I've had long hair FOREVER, like I mean 6+ years, and I was ready for a change and a new look. Trust me when I say that IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. 

YOUR HAIR WILL GROW BACK!!

You can visit my Pinterest page and look at my board named "Hair & Makeup" for cut ideas and styles. Change it up this fall, and show the world the new, and improved you!
