Transition into Fall

In Chicago, it feels as if Summer has already left us and we’re quickly approaching fall.. The best part about fall is the earth tone colors and cute outfits you can wear, but the real question is when do you start wearing those shades of brown? Below is an example of an outfit transition into Summer-Fall and how to dress cute without jumping ahead into the next season too quickly.
I love fur…don’t worry I only wear faux 🙂 I got this faux fur vest and dream catcher necklace from Express. Wear it with a short sleeve shirt instead of long sleeve (if weather permits)

Gold jewelry is perfect with those brown tones for Fall

Happy Almost Fall,

Geeky and Glamorous "Four Eyes"

If you’re like me you only wear your glasses for one purpose and one purpose only, to see (obviously). I used to just throw on my glasses when I didn’t feel like putting contacts in or wearing any makeup. I never realized why people wore fake glasses as a fashion statement. After my last eye exam I decided to get a pair of fashion statement glasses that I would actually enjoy wearing. Now, I barely wear my contacts because I love them so much. Here are some makeup tips for the girls with real or fake glasses out there:

  •  Switch to a powder or mineral foundation, as some liquid and creams leave marks on the bridge of your nose and cheeks
  • Big and defined brows always look great with glasses
  • DiorShow Mascara- It will be the best purchase you’ve ever made (I promise!) You can find it here
  • Make sure to use neutral eye shadows and define your eye with winged eyeliner-When applying your eyeliner, make sure to mimic the thickness of your frame
  • Bold lips, Bold lips, Bold lips- find my favorite shade here

The Young and Talented

I would just like to take the time to congratulate my two best friends who have started blogging! These women are both inspirations and I am so excited to see them share their talents with everyone! 

Danielle is a student at DePaul University and I go to her for all of my yoga advice (aside from everything else). She has started a yoga blog where she posts about different poses, videos, and affordable ways to do yoga as a college student! Please check out her blog here and share with your friends 🙂 As I’ve mentioned before, yoga has amazing health benefits so start following her and learn for yourself.

June is a Graphic Design major and is one of the most talented people I know! I wouldn’t be able to get through art school without her. She now helps with photographing my blog which is a blast when it’s your best friend! Watch her share all of her many talents on her blog! She posts about her outfits, things to do, music, and much more! Here take a look for yourself:)
