It's officially boot season and I could not be more excited! I have more pairs of boots in my closet than I care to admit so I wear them all season long to get my money's worth. LOL Especially when it gets cold, wearing flats with my jeans won't cut it. I have a mix of boot styles in my closet - both knee high boots and ankle boots but tend to reach for ankle boots more when I'm wearing jeans. A simple classic pair of ankle boots with go with just about any pair of  jeans. For me a

As someone who has been a neutral, barely there, nude lip lover for most of my life, fall lip colors weren't a huge thing for me. I would wear a red from time to time or maybe a deeper berry gloss, but I didn't love how traditional fall lip colors looked on me. It's funny though because as I have aged and am now in my mid-40's, I find that nude or very neutral lip colors can make me look washed out. My face comes alive with a bit more color so I was excited to try out some bolder

Though I've been a makeup lover and wearer for more than 20 years, face powder have never been a huge presence in my everyday makeup routine. I have powders that I use and wear but nothing ever wowed me enough to truly become a staple everyday. Most powders would make me look too flat, too dry and I ultimately would stop reaching for them over time. Over the past year or two, the formulation of pressed and some loose powders has drastically improved to the point that I now wear one every single day. There are two pressed powders that

I love a natural makeup look. Something that looks polished and refined but still like me. It can be difficult choosing products that can help you achieve that natural-looking perfect finished look. But I have made it my mission to find products that do exactly that. I have been using the ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint for years now and it's still a top pick beauty product for me to get that fresh faced natural look. I first tried the brand almost 10 years ago and have been loving them ever since. About ILIA Beauty ILIA Beauty is a sustainable

Oversized blazers are having a major moment right now and are more popular than ever. I am a huge blazer lover and love all kinds of different shapes. Very tailored, oversized, different textures and fabrics - it's necessary to have a bit of selection in your closet.Oversized blazers are often roomier overall, can have exaggerated shoulders and be a bit longer in length. But don't think you have to get an overly baggy or roomy blazer to participate in this trend. Sometimes just sizing up or opting for a style that is a bit more roomy is suitable to get

I've shared some singular reviews of foundations or skin tints I am using and enjoying but I thought I would update this post from a few years ago with my current favorites. I have found a group of foundations/skin tints that I absolutely love and thought I would share in case you are looking for a new one to add into your daily makeup routine. My skin is a tad more normal to slightly dry as I get older so I do like a moisturizing formula. I also prefer a natural skin finish. Nothing too matte or too dewy -

Everything I Read - October 2024 1. This is Why We Lied This is part of the popular Will Trent series that Karin Slaughter has been writing for years. The good thing is you don't have to read the prior ones to know what is going on in the later ones so you can pick and choose the ones you are interested in. This was an entertaining "whodunit" type of mystery that I love to read. Will Trent and his new wife Sara are on their honeymoon at a remote mountaintop resort in the Georgia mountains. The resort is run
