Changing it Up with a Scarf

Changing it Up with a Scarf





I invested in a cable knit sweater from Zara last season and have been amazed in how versatile it is. Especially when you change it up with a scarf. A simple scarf change can really give you a different look pending the vibe you are going for ...and keep you warm! I have found throwing a stylish scarf on is a great way to look chic quickly when you are running out the door to the bus stop maybe? There are so many great affordable scarves out there!

What are your favorite scarves for fall?

Tweed Moto Jacket

Jacket: Target, last seen here (another cool version here) // Shirt: J. Crew and On Sale // Necklace: gifted // Bag: YSL from E-bay // Shoes: J. Crew Everly Wedge (similar here )// Lips: Smashbox Mandarin Jeans: Current/ Elliott Stiletto


Got out for a family dinner and this is what I wore after being inspired by Jill's Good Life For Less Post about "Uniforms". It is definitely great to have a few go to "uniform" outfits thought out in case you need to get dressed quickly. Nothing is worse than standing in front of a closet of clothes thinking you have nothing to wear! What are your go to outfits?  
Have a great week!

Best New Beauty Under $40

Best New Beauty Under $40




Just wanted to share on this Friday some new products I have become a fan of as a result of getting some samples.

Benefit - They're Real Mascara: Really amps up your lashes, stays on but also comes off easy. It also feels really light and remains soft.

Buxom Lip Gloss - What can I say, Kyle Richards , my favorite Beverly Hills housewife is a fan. This stuff does make your lips look and feel fuller. You can definitely feel it working. It comes in pretty colors and feels light as well.

Urban Decay Naked Foundation - I have been looking for a foundation that provided more natural coverage and was not chalky for days when I am not using BB cream and don't need a higher SPF. I have tried drug store brand foundation without much luck. I can just never buy the right color. I got color matched at Sephora and this was one of the options for my skin tone. It glides on lovely, is illuminating and yet filled with good stuff for your skin. I find it really makes me look fresh - and what Mom wouldn't want that! If you try this, definitely get matched, I needed a color that I thought would be way too dark, but the skin i.d. was right.

Please note I am NOT getting paid to promote these products. I just really like them!

What are your fave beauty products going into fall?
