Easy and Comfortable Outfit and Simple Makeup

I love an easy and comfortable outfit just as much as the next girl! Since it has been raining non-stop in the Charlotte area for the past few days, today I’m sharing a casual and rainy day outfit that I really enjoyed wearing. I picked this simple outfit because of the messy weather and because I knew that we weren’t going to be doing that much:

Grabbing lunch
Running a few errands, including a trip to TARGET!!!
Casual dinner out with some friends later in the evening 🙂

When I’m going to be out for a majority of the day, comfort is key. On this type of day, I always know that I will need comfy feet and non-fussy clothes and accessories! Also, Jacob is 9 months old now and I have to be able to get to him easily, be ready for anything, and maneuver effortlessly. Right away I knew that my riding boots would be the best choice for shoes. After I chose those, the other items fell into place. A soft button down top with a good drape is so versatile and can easily be dressed up or down depending on jewelry and shoes worn with it. The boyfriend shirts from AEO are great and slightly longer in the back, so the front of them can be tucked in nicely. They also work great for leggings. I consider this Olive green one a staple in my closet. I often go straight for this shirt and it is one of those items that we all have in our closets that we “just know” works every time- making getting ready so easy. I’ve shared before that I adore the look of mixing metals in home decor and the same goes for with my jewelry! I wear jeans most of the time and H & M has the most awesome and affordable selections of skinny jeans that fit so well- I have had mine for three years and they have just gotten better with time! Roller-ball fragrances have been good to use while on the go and take up no space in my bag. I took Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black with me for refreshing while out. As far as I’m concerned, cheetah print is a neutral so I added a little with a thin belt! [Read more…]

Fall Fashion Trends

While going out and shopping around a bit, I have been so inspired to try some of the Fall 2015 Fashion trends. There are lots of new shoe and accessory trends out this year! For Fall 2015, I think that the 70’s inspiration in shoes, accessories, and fashion overall is so fun! Think Earthy stone jewelry, capes and ponchos, big geo shaped earrings, lots and lots of fringe, suede boots and other suede items, [Read more…]

Fall Nail Polish Ideas

There are so many things I like about the Fall time: rich and moody colors, the fashion, the fabulous boot options, leather moto jackets galore, fun scarves, warm fall drinks, and the inviting feel of Fall home decor are just a few. I really like to experiment with nail polish and I go between using an at home gel system and actually polishing my nails with traditional polish. With the new season quickly approaching, I thought it would be fun to share some of my picks for great Fall 2015 nail colors. You’ll see a couple of “oldies but goodies” and also some that are from newer collections. All are equally pretty awesome colors. If you try any of these recommendations, just be sure to use a good base coat such as CND Stickey Base Coat and good fast dry shiny top coat such as Seche Vite when you polish your nails. These two really make polishing your nails a breeze, whether you’re a mommy or are simply one busy lady 🙂 It only takes 15-20 minutes to do your nails start to finish with the fast dry topcoat. Just be sure to apply it to wet polish for it to work effectively. Try them all, and you’ll be glad you did! Enjoy!

Tom Ford Toasted Sugar– this is so gorgeous to me! It is a great nude shade that will provide a barely-there polished look to any outfit worn this fall.
Butter London Lovely Jubbly – this is such a fun glitter polish for all year round, but I particularly like the idea of wearing this with lots of black layered pieces and a good scarf this fall to really showcase the blue, pink, and purple glitter.
