Currently Craving...

Hi friends I am finally getting back to blogging!! We've lived in the new apartment a little over a month and we still haven't gotten internet yet (which I am calling tomorrow for) so I am sitting at Starbucks because I just couldn't take it anymore! But enough with the small talk....I am currently craving studs!

I don't know what it is lately, maybe it's because it's Fall and cold weather is upon us and I feel like this is the time of year that anything goes so I'm trying to work a little more hardware into my wardrobe.

All Zara

The sweater is currently sitting in my "shopping cart" being considered because, well who doesn't need a cream knit sweater with studs? The flats I love and am thinking maybe my current black flats need a little break ;) and the bow belt I just got from the mailman about two weeks ago and has been on high rotation! If it's Zara & it has studs odds are I want it. Christmas prezzie ideas!!

Learning to share...

As the move out/in date draws near I am beginning to realize I have to share a lot of things but the scariest of all...A CLOSET!! I have two closets right now and I am left wondering, how in the world will I share one!

It is a walk in closet so I may be acting a little dramatic but I like to see all my clothes, they need to breathe. It's scary and I need to get very cut throat with what I should keep and what I can give away. Sigh...growing up is rough.

Some girls...

If I wasn't already completely obsessed with Blake Lively, she is one of the few "It girls" I actually get, after seeing her engagement ring I am now!! I know most girls are swooning over her husband more than her baubles I am the opposite, however.

*sigh*

*double sigh*

The cut and the rose gold...some girls have all the luck!!

Also I'm dying over this hair color...

Moving on up...

Hi pretties! It's been a crazy time of change for me and I'm excited to share that I am moving!! My job takes me farther north and my commute as of now is about an hour in the morning and an hour and 15 minutes at night (traffic is the worst). So, my boyfriend and I compromised on a move in between both our jobs!! And how quickly I go from being completely obsessed with clothes to being obsessed with decorating my new apartment!!

My boyfriend/roommate is not the type of guy that is going to let me decorate our place as if no boy will ever step foot there so I have been finding things we'll both like! I am loving chevron and grey tones and candles...lots of candles;our place doesn't have a fireplace and I need the warmth of fire in the winter months.

Scrolling through Urban Outfitters apartment stuff on their website this instantly made me laugh!! So I got one and cannot wait to finally use it.

Our duvet cover-the print is my favorite and the color is gender neutral!!!

A few of my favorite things for the Fall to wear...

Falling Foward...

Hi pretties! Spent the weekend down in Bourbonnais, Il at the Chicago Bear's summer training camp and it got me extremely excited for football season which starts up again in...the...FALL!!! I am always a season ahead if it's Spring or Summer, I look forward to Fall and Winter the very second the first day of Spring starts.

I've had  pair of booties sitting in my room staring at me, wondering when I'll finally take them out into the real world? The answer is, when it starts to get chilly out!! The 100+ degrees it's been all summer doesn't make closed toed shoe wearing very comfortable.

Jeffrey Campbell Sgt. Pepper ankle booties! 

These will be on high rotation when the temp dips with the additions of some studs and spikes because apparently I've turned into a punk?!

Blue Crush...

Blue is my favorite color but this summer these 3 items have been on constant repeat!

Sweet Summertime

Hi pretties! Please forgive my absence things at work have been nuts again and when I get home I usually crash! blah!

Now that summer is in full swing and the mercury is at a steady 95+ degrees I have really gotten down to the bare essentials for make-up. I am always nervous too much heavy make-up will make me break out. So I wanted to share with you my favorite summer face that is simple and sweet for these insanely hot days!

First, I started with Garnier Sheer Tint Anti-Dark Circle Roller. It gives the right amount of coverage to wear as concealer (for me anyway), the roller is a great way to wake your eyes up (plus caffeine in the formula is said to de-puff your eyes), and it has softened my dark circles because I can wear it under my make-up. 

Next, is a tinted moisturizer. I decided to try Smashbox camera ready BB Cream with SPF 35. This formula is supposed to not only provide coverage but also fight against blemishes. Also, I've been trying to use more SPF to protect my epidermis :)

I have the Urban Decay Naked palette, and if you don't you should try it! I mix Virgin with the color below for a natural yet brightened up color

This is the color Naked from the palette, it's the closest to my skin tone but looks really pretty when mixed with Virgin

I give my lips some color with the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Candy Apple. It's more of a tint than a lipstick so it doesn't melt and gives long lasting color. This red compliments a lot of skin tones.

Then, I dust Nars bronzers in Orgasm across my cheekbones, hair line and a little on my neck to add some color and enhance my tan.

To finish I use whatever mascara I grab and go! It's easy and really brightens the face. If you're not too keen on red lip stain/lipstick then opt out for your favorite bold color. Now off to the fireworks! 

CHEESE!
