"Your Lips, but Better"

In one of my more recent posts, I showed you guys some makeup products I got for my prom. Within those products, I have found my all-time favorite lip combination. 

Don't get me wrong. I love dark berrys, and matte reds as much as the next person, but I've never been able to find a lip combination that was just a nice, natural my lips but better color. Until now. 

Safe to say, I'm obsessed. What's your all time favorite lip combo?

2013 Superlatives: Fashion Favorites

Hi all!

I'm back with another "2013 Favorites" for y'all because I enjoyed writing the last one so much! I decided to split up today's post and yesterday's post so it wouldn't be too lengthy to read. I'll try not to ramble again as I did yesterday, but no promises. Let's begin:

1. Leggings

Sadly, I bought into the "common girl" status and have been obsessed with leggings / yoga pants this year. They can be dressed up, or dressed down, and worn with practically anything - and they come in a variety of colors, patterns, and designs (peep the Little Mermaid pattern on the top)! If by some crazy chance you don't own a pair of these, go buy some. 

2. High-top Converse

I've always owned a pair of low tops, but this year I invested in a pair of high-tops and have never looked back. They go with anything, and are insanely comfortable. And the best part? They're sneakers...that are cute. 

3. Beanies

This is a recent obsession. I never felt right in hats, but beanies are a total exception. I think anyone looks good in beanies, and the phrases on the front tell the world what you're thinking the moment you step into the room. Talk about fetch. 

4. Moccasins 

Basically worn on lazy days. Dressy days. Whenever. Like everything else thus far, cute and comfy. 

5. Midi / Statement rings

I've always loved rings, but there's something about a simple, delicate ring paired with a long double-finger ring that I love. These are just a few of my favorites. 

6. Knee-high / Thigh-high socks and tights

Don't hate me. I sadly don't have a picture for this favorite, but I'm sure you've all seen this trend blow up in 2013. I love wearing these with circle skirts, over jeans/leggings, and tucked into boots to give an outfit an extra something. Obsessed with these, and they're super easy to DIY (future blog post?) 

Thanks for reading! Let me know what your 2013 fashion favorites were in the comments below. 

Until next time!

My Favorite Fall/Winter Lip Colors

Hi all :)

A few weeks ago, I made a few small purchases from Sephora and my local drug store, mostly consisting of lip sticks. I was in the search of "appropriate" deep, dark colors for this time of year and I came away with these . . . 

From left to right: Sephora Collection Color Lip Last (16, Orange Rocks) / Sephora Collection Color Lip Last (20, Wanted Red) / Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (477, Black Cherry)

I am a bit unconventional when it comes to the colors I wear throughout the different seasons, and that was no exception in this purchase! Both Sephora lipsticks are matte, while the Revlon lipstick is a creme color.

The color on the left is a beautiful bright, orange, which seems quite odd for a season where you would normally wear dark lip colors. But this adds a perfect pop of color to any outfit without being too summer-y. The matte texture of it too makes it feel more "winter," as well.

There's not much to say about the middle color other than it's basically a Fall/Winter essential: your typical true red. Perfect with any outfit you could wear during the colder months.

The last color on the right is possibly my favorite lip color to wear at the moment. A highly pigmented, yet build-able purple-wine color that dresses up any outfit. The actual color payoff is quite different than how it appears in the tube (refer to the color swatches above), but I find it even more beautiful to be honest.

Each of these colors are absolutely gorgeous and "season-appropriate" in their own right (I've included more pictures below that are close-ups.) I 100% adore these colors, and I hope you do, as well! :)
