4 Eyes!

1./2./3./4./5.

Yesterday was the 1st time I have ever had a full eye exam...crazy right?! I've had trouble lately at night with the lights being bright so I figured since I'm in my late 20's (wamp wamp) I would go get my eyes checked. Needless to say since I can't quit my job of staring at a computer all day I guess I have to get glasses for work. On an exciting note I think glasses are just another cute accessory (like I need another accessory) Here are some of my favorites...now to decide which pair to get!

It's crazy to think that it's already October! I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by. But on the subject of October this week is Halloween! I used to love getting all dressed up for Halloween and planned months in advance what I was going to wear (those college days are gone) If you are like me and Halloween has snuck up on you, and you have no costume fear not! Here are 3 VERY simple Halloween looks you can probably pull together by using old items in your closet (or a friends closet.) For other ideas check out Lauren Conrad's blogpost on DIY Halloween here

Cold Weather Chapped Lips

Though I love fall clothing I do not love the cold weather and all the dryness that comes with it. However I have found the best best best lip renewal chapstick! Blistex lip renewal chapstick does wonders for your lips. It’s so smooth and soft when you put it on and not the least bit greasy! The smell and taste are also really yummy. Not only does it have sunscreen in it but also anti-aging ingredients. And let’s be honest, most girls don’t think about anti-aging for their lips but it’s so important! There is nothing worse than seeing yucky cracked lips! I've started using this lip renewal before I put on my lipstick and it just makes your lipstick glide on much smoother!

Must Have Jackets

Monclear/Utility/Peacoat/Zip-Coat/Quilted Burberry

I love fall time and pulling out some of my favorite coats. This year I have seen several different styles of coats which is perfect. It's so boring to see the same old plan peacoat everywhere. But not to worry this year there are so many different options to jazz up the regular peacoat!

Puffer jacket- We can all dream about owning a Monclear however actually biting the bullet and making the purchase is another thing. You can get a puffer jacket from a lot of places but I have always had an obsession with Monclear and this long puffer jacket is to die for!

Utility jacket- The utility jacket has made another appearance just like last year. So if you bought one last year wondering if it would just be a fad, fear not it's definitely back and bigger than last year. I loved this one with the touch of faux fur!

Peacoat- This collarless peacoat is gorgeous. Not only does it stray from the norm by not having a collar but the bright yellow makes it stand out even more.

Leather Trim Zip- Leather (or pleather) is everywhere this year! I love the soft touch of the leather trim on this tan jacket. This is the perfect everyday jacket for fall! I love everything about it including the hood!

Quilted jacket- Let's face it this jacket is everywhere. I'm sure if you don't own one you at least have seen it on a friend or family member. I love this classic look and the Burberry print shows through in a minimal way under the collar and sleeves! This is a good light weight jacket as well and perfect for fall!

Fall Handbag Guide

1./2./3./4./5.

This week being the 1st official week of fall means it's time to switch up your summer wardrobe and pull out those fall items. My husband will never understand why a girl needs more than 1 handbag...well hunny why do you need more than 1 electronic device ha! That's another topic! Anyhow here are some hot handbags that you'll see everywhere this fall. Claire V is a must have clutch and you can actually find them at H Audrey in the Hill Center here in Nashville. Also the bucket bag is everywhere...you either love it or hate it, I LOVE it! A satchel like the tan Tory Burch one is always a good go to to have in your closet. And who doesn't love this Rebecca Minkoff tote! A good crossbody bag is always nice to have when you travel and this Kate Spade one adds the perfect girly touch with the big bow on the front!
