OOTD: dresses in october

Hi peeps! What's cracking? Today I have another OOTD because I want to bring my summer things into fall too! So I have put together an outfit perfect for Midwest fall weather... 

1. The floral dress from TJMaxx that I wear way too much (but I'm shameless) 

2. Sheer black tights 

3. White cami

4. Blood orange v-neck by BDG (Urban outfitters, you da bomb) 

5. Cardigan by Forever 21 

6. My good old Madden Taxxi Oxfords

And here are pictures! Also the oxfords are pink but they seem to match the shirt in the pictures. Okay peace out Girl Scouts! 

SEPHORA & URBAN OUTFITTERS HAUL

Hi my summer-lovers! Hope you're all doing well and having a great summer! Or last few days of school if you're not out yet! So I have a pretty good haul for you guys, let's get started!

So first from Sephora! 

1. Rocking in Rio Stila Palette ($20?)

I got this as a gift for one of my friends and it looks really nice. It has the shades Capacabana (nude), Samba (taupe), Bossa Nova (light gray), Carnavale (dark gray), Ipanema (electric blue), and Freesia (blush- rosy pink). 

2. Origins Set ($40) + Sephora Body Wash Capsule ($1!) 

I got this as a gift as well for my mother who will hopefully like it! It has a moisturizer, active charcoal mask (yikes!), cleanser, and skin guardian. I also got the Origins Plantscripitions cleanser and threw in a baby REN Glycol Lactic Mask. The Sephora body wash is in the scent Green Tea. Yum.

3. Samples!

I got the Bumble & Bumble Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner and I still have to try them! I also got the Guerlain Maxi Lash Mascara and this does wonders for my lashes. They could literally blown someone off their feet with one blink. Exaggerations, oh how I love you. Not to mention, I also got the Benefit birthday goodies because my birthday is this week! And it has the They're Real Mascara and the Watt's Up highlighter. I haven't tried either so I'll get an update on this.

 

Okay now to Urban Outfitters, who currently has free shipping for no price requirement. Aghhh why couldn't this happened last week? Anyway, hang in there! We're halfway through the stuff.

4. Heartbreaker Sunglasses ($16) 

These are really cute and I've been eyeing these for literally A YEAR. I'm really glad I got them now though. 

5. BDG Polka Dot Backpack 

I got this to go along with my friend's gift but I thought it would be nice if she needed a light bag to carry things in if she's on the beach or on a walk. 

6. Curtis LOVE ME tee

Okay so I got this on a whim and now I think I'm going to cut it into a muscle tee, and I'll post a tutorial if I do. The sizing is a little strange though; I'm usually a Small  and I got Medium in case I messed up when I cut it, and now without altering, it fits like a Small. 

7. Palm Coast Earrings

This is a set of four pairs of earrings that were cute. And I needed to hit $50 for free shipping. Enough said.

8. Silence and Noise Buttondown Shirt

So this shirt is high-low, teal, and sheer. Need I say more?

9. Mesh Sweetheart Dress by Doe and Rae

Seriously I can't believe this dress was only TEN DOLLARS. And it comes in two colors! Why I didn't get both, I have no clue. It's gorgeous and it has mesh instead of cutouts which is nice. It's also high-low.

10. Bite Me Lip Gloss Crayon in Movie Star

LAST THING! So I got this randomly too, mainly because I liked the packaging and bam! It lasts forever and has great color payoff. I got this in a red, but it's also available in pink and nude.

Okay that's all I've got! Thanks for reading! Bye! 

TRAVEL OUTFIT IDEAS

Hi my little jet setters! So I know a lot of you might be frequent fliers as well and one thing I've learned that flying in uncomfortable clothes will be the most awful flight of your life. I have some travel outfits along with some hair and other tips to make your flights the best, not the worst, trip.

So my outfits for flights are all layers, since it's ridiculously cold on most planes. I usually wear leggings since they're comfy and look better than just sweats (even though I love my sweatpants!) You can find a good pair of leggings anywhere, like Forever 21 or Pacsun. Pacsun has some really cute patterned ones to dress up a plain outfit. Now onto the tops! So I really like tank tops with a cardigan with a nice layered scarf on top. I'll tell you what my ensemble will probably be for my upcoming flight.

1. Brandy Melville Sadie Moon Tank ($17-25)
This would go underneath everything and it's really comfy and relaxed as well as functional and cute. Brandy Melville is a tad overpriced but it is so worth it!
2. BDG Classic Cardigan ($29)
This is literally the ideal cardigan and it's soft and soft again. Wearing this over the tank top will prevent you from being super cold and you'll look cute.
3. Charlotte Russe Eyelash Fringe Infinity Scarf ($10.99)
So we just got a Charlotte Russe in town and it's seriously the greatest thing ever. It'll keep you warm on the plane and if it gets too warm, you can take it off. It adds a little pop of neon in the outfit.

And for shoes, anything will go. I wouldn't really recommend strappy sandals, more like Vans or oxfords or something.

And for hair, I suggest a simple French braid so when you get off the plane, you'll have effortless beach waves. Either that or a messy updo or bun, it doesn't really need to be fancy. And makeup, if you really insist, go cream not powder. Powder will become cakey and icky. But skin care is very important since it's all recycled air on the airplane. Lotion and moisturizer is essential for plane skin.
One last tip would be taking hand sanitizer and Airborne with you to stay healthy. No one wants to go on vacation sick.


Safe travels, see you next time!

Closet Essentials: The White Tee

Hello my beautiful people! So I want to start talking about some key, basic pieces to almost every woman's closet and what my take on it is and some places to find that item and variations of it.
Today's feature: the white tee!
Okay this basically is the epitome of the saying "small, but mighty" because it is the absolute most wearable item. It can be dressed up or down, or even worn on a slouchy "bum" day. I actually am a freak and don't own just a plain white tee, and I didn't realize how weird that was until I went to camp one summer. My friend recommended an outfit with a white tee and I was sort of lost for words. So, now to save you all from possible embarrassment at camp, and look at a closet staple: let's go!
1. Gap Women's Pocket Tee ($20)
Okay so this is by far my favorite minimal style of the white tee shirt, with just a baggy pocket that just adds a touch of carefreeness and effortlessness to the whole outfit. You could tuck it in a skirt or into a favorite pair of jeans, depending on what you want.
2. American Eagle Men's Legend V Neck ($16, 2 for $12.50 each)
Okay so I kinda love guy shirts. They're baggy, but not large and American Eagle is so comfy and cozy. This shirt combines the best of both worlds! And the womens's shirt is more fitted, but it's also like $20 so it depends on what you're going for. For this, my ideal outfit would be this shirt with a fitted blazer, with the cuffs rolled up tucked in a pair of favorite jeans and black heels. It can be played many ways, it just depends on your style.
3. American Apparel Ladies Tee Shirt
So American Apparel is kind of well known for their heavenly soft shirts and I'm wearing one right now and so much love for American Apparel. These are really nice quality and so comfy and breathable.
4. Urban Outfitters BDG V Neck ($15-18)
So I love Urban with every fiber of my being, and I have two of these V necks, one in a burnt orange and the other in an ideal blue. They are so wonderful! And I only got them for $5 each during their annual sale. Makes me wonder why I didn't buy more.. Regrets in my life! But these are really lovely.

Okay so those are my thoughts on our FIRST essential closet item, the great white tee! Thanks for reading lovelies, see you later with round 2! (Hopefully!) Ciao bellas! xx
