Jacket | Trousers | Sandals | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses | Necklaces here (code: MAREE30) and here (code: MAREE20) Friday Finds 8.16 1. Utility dresses are trending for fall and I love this dark wash denim option. The gold buttons elevate it a bit but you could still dress this down with sneakers or flats. 2. I just ordered this cropped trench coat that is under $60. The fit looks so good! 3. Bucket bags are really having a moment right now and this one is under $100. I love all the rich fall tones that it comes in too.

Black leggings are a wardrobe staple for me in fall and winter. I can't go even a few days without wearing an outfit with black leggings. LOL But not all black leggings are created equal and I definitely have my favorites. From regular black leggings to faux leather styles, I have a handful of ones that I wear year after year. In fact, I have multiple pairs in some of them because I wear them so often that I need a backup (or two). While some of these black leggings are suitable to work out in, I wear all of

I know fall is still a ways off but I am already planning my outfits. I LOVE fall and dressing for fall is my favorite thing ever. I can layer but without feeling like I'm suffocating. I can make a coat my entire outfit. I don't have to deal with humidity anymore. It's basically my perfect season. And I plan on recreating every single one of these looks this fall so I thought I would round up a bunch of my favorite outfits from past years. Regardless of trends that come and go, most of these outfits are classic looks

One of the biggest changes I ever saw in my skin is when I switched to double cleansing. And specifically using a cleansing balm as my first step to remove makeup and wash my face. I noticed that I had less breakouts, my skin felt more balanced and looked much healthier. I've been using cleansing balms for 10+ years and will never not be without one in my skincare routine. I actually gift some of my favorite ones to my friends as birthday or holiday gifts and always receive feedback that they are shocked at how nice their skin looks

This has been the summer of the blush launches. There have been quite a few new blush formulas and blush products that have launched but the Rhode Pocket Blushes were one of the most buzzed about. I have loved almost everything I have tried from Rhode Skin so I ordered a few shades to try. The Pocket Blushes are designed to be an on-the-go cream blush formula that gives a diffused bit of color with a satin finish to the skin. Cream blush formulas are so much better than they were years ago and work for a variety of skin

It can be such a challenge to find a concealer that fits all your needs AND works for your skin tone. There are so many formulas to choose from and the shade ranges are extensive. I have very fair skin so I thought I would share all the current concealers I have and use with swatch comparisons for each. If you are someone with very fair or light skin, these are many of the shades and formulas that I really enjoy. I usually only wear concealer under my eyes so I will often try to find a shade a tad

While foundation is probably my most important complexion product I use everyday, concealer is a close second. And while I don't necessarily want a ton of coverage, having a good concealer can really help create an even complexion. Concealer can be used for a variety of reasons - but the overall purpose of a concealer is to help conceal any specific concerns on the face. The concerns could be hyperpigmentation, dark spots, blemishes, dark circles, etc. There are a ton of reasons to use a concealer so it's necessary to find something that works for your specific needs.

Everything I Read In July 2024 1. Swan Song I am not a fanatic about Elin Hildebrand books but I always enjoy reading them. They always have a feel good aspect to them that I adore. And this one is her last book about Nantucket that she will be writing. A new wealthy family, the Richardsons, move on to Nantucket and the town is instantly abuzz with gossip about them. They bought an insanely expensive home but nobody knows much about them. So to introduce themselves to the community they throw a lavish party to get to know everyone. But

Retinol is one of the key ingredients in my skincare routine and has been for many years. It has so many great benefits and my skin always looks consistently great when I have it in my routine. If you are new to using retinol, it's definitely an ingredient that should be introduced slowly and then built up if your skin can tolerate it. Retinol helps accelerate skin cell turnover which slows down significantly as we age. Retinol speeds up this process which results in fewer fine lines, plumper skin and an overall fresher appearance. There are various forms of retinol
