What a month October was! It was one filled with lots of events and family time. We are now in the last few months of the year, and I am determined to make the most of these days before entering the new year. Here are some things I enjoyed during the month of October.
Sweet sweet September! It was a wonderful month for so many reasons. It marked the beginning of something new for my family, and it was the kiss goodbye to summer for now and a warm welcome to fall.
Each season is a chance for a new re-fresh! With that, I take it as a sign to welcome in all that is new to my closet, of course. Each year, style preferences change, the fit of an item you loved might not be right anymore, or you feel new vibrant energy when you find that one special piece that you know you will reach for over and over. Here are some new things that I cannot wait to style this fall.
This year, fall styling feels so fresh and new. The sweaters that were tucked away can now come out; the sandals that were perfect for vacation can now hide until next summer. This season is all about carrying those bold colors from summer into fall to keep the looks alive while incorporating darker and earthier tones. There is no better color to style this season than red.
Many years ago, when I discovered the podcast The Simple Sophisticate, I fell in love with the idea of “petite pleasures.” Something small you may do or obtain for yourself that makes your life enjoyable or feel slightly elevated. I am sharing with you a few things I love that make my life feel a little more luxe, and as a bonus, I added some inspiration so you can too.
And just like that, September is here! The tail end of summer has been flying by quickly. It’s all in the subtle changes of temperature and the leaves falling from the trees as the wind blows. I have had a unique summer, one that included some travel, some home updates, a lot of reading, and time for reflection. Going into this next season, I really want to embrace all that has been accomplished so far this year and understand that there is still time to tick off some items on the to-do list.
My wedding makeup was the most beautiful my makeup has ever looked. What if I told you that we used affordable makeup products, too? In honor of my first wedding anniversary, I’m thrilled to finally share this post with you, detailing how my mother-in-law and I achieved this look for the most special day.
Another month end, and another recap of my favorites. In May, the weather warmed up with days that surprised us for what’s to come this summer. While I did not need to do much shopping for spring or summer items, I did purchase a few pieces I have been wearing and using a lot lately.
There are a few items that I tend to gravitate towards the most each season. These key items end up being staples in my wardrobe that keep me feeling stylish. Sharing what I wore the most this spring season, from shoes to fragrance.
There is no better feeling than the warmth of spring and the excitement of anticipating summer. With that, we can officially and comfortably, I might add, wear thinner layers and cute dresses. Who could be mad at that? Of course, looking good on a budget is even better. Here are some spring dresses to freshen up this season’s looks, all under $100.
