All About the Eyes





                                                                     
                                                                [ Coastal scents ]
           
      Talk about fun on a Friday... This coastal scents warm palette has over 88 shadow colors and is perfect for a smokey eye or daily wear. Recently I ordered eye shadow from the website just to test out the brand, but I have to say for being very inexpensive, the quality is still awesome. Coastal scents brushes are also some of my favorites yet, and I found the pro blending fluff brush works wonders... so I highly suggest checking out the site! Have an amazing weekend everyone!

Check Mate




Wearing my favorite baby blue long sleeve from [H&M] and [J.Crew] flannel around the waist for a more edgy look. Here in New England it's been pretty snowy so these black [Sam Edelman] combat boots go great with a simple pair of [American Eagle] jeggings, but still keeping your toes toasty!

Faux







Men's flannels are my weakness. This is one of my favorites from J.Crew. I pair the casual plaid with my winter go to: a faux fur vest from Forever 21. As the snow started falling, this vest kept me surprisingly warm. As always a simple pair of dark washed jeans and my Frye boots go nicely. I also wore a messy top knot and a pair of statement earrings along with my favorite Face Stockholm peony pink lipstick (featured here!)

Lips. If your morning doesn't allow you to put on a full face of makeup, a nice lip color can do wonders. A bold lip thrown together with a pair of sunglasses can make you Hollywood Chic in the blink of an eye. As much as I do love red lipstick, it is not always the most appropriate color.

Here I show two of my most recent favorite lipsticks from the company titled, Face Stockholm . I purchased both sticks from JCrew , but they also can be found on the Face Stockholm website. The berry color, Peony Pink, is my go to for Fall/Winter. With a cool undertone this lipstick is perfect for day or night. 
French Martini is a coral color that I wear in the Spring/Summer months. This really pops with a nice tan and some beachy waves. These Face Stockholm lipsticks both have a very smooth formula that prevents dryness, and can be tossed on with little precision necessary.

These snowy days can often be a drag to get dressed for. I decided to pair this mint ruffled shirt with my grey dark washed jeans for a casual yet edgy feel. In order to dress it up a bit a headband will never fail (my new obsession)

Vests and Sweater combos are perfect for those mild winter days. I love to pair this oversized striped sweater from Forever 21, with my favorite J.Crew quilted vest. A simple pair of black leggings keeps this look comfy and casual. My Frye Melissa Button Boots in Cognac might have been my best investment (ever) and finish off this look.
