Lately I’ve been dressing really casual, meaning a lot more of plain blouses and jeans. The other day I actually wore joggers to work and I was shocked at myself. I knew that today I wanted to keep it simple, while still adding key pieces to my outfit to make it my own. Since I’m on this casual streak, I knew I definitely wasn’t going to put on a skirt today.
Hello Loves!
I’m obsessed with matte lips lately. I love how they stay on all day and don’t even budge! Today I’m sharing a perfect fall lippie, Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in the shade, Sepia. It’s a gorgeous taupe shade which is something I don’t normally grab when shopping for lipsticks. You might ask, “who would wear this grayish-brown lipstick?” Well, I’m here to show you how to pull it off the right way!
If you’re going to wear a taupe lipstick, the face should be pretty simple but adding warmth and glow to the skin so you don’t look like death has come upon you. You can either do light makeup on the eyes, such as liner and mascara, or pair it with a little more drama. Of course I had to be a little bold!
My favorite part about dressing myself is seeing how the clothes come together to compliment the shape of my body. Everyone is different and all bodies are beautiful in their own particular way. Pulling pieces that highlight the parts of the body we are confident in is key to creating a beautifully put together outfit.
When shopping, I always tend to pick up pieces that have a fit I’m familiar with. For example, because I have wide hips, I always go for bottoms that are either mid rise or high rise. This skort from H&M is just hugging in all the right places. Although it isn’t ideal for fall, I paired it with tights to get more use out of it in the colder weather.

For this look, I’ll be talking about date night makeup. When going on a date, I like to keep my makeup natural rather than looking like I have too much makeup on. Yes, I understand you want to impress the person you’re going on a date with, but applying too much makeup can make you look like you’re trying too hard. The goal is to look effortless! Below I have listed my favorite way to achieve this look!
