Now that my sister lives a half a mile away from me, we walk together many weekday mornings. We meet at a halfway point in the neighborhood around 6am and this morning was so cold we thought our ears were going to fall off! Autumn has officially arrived, and with it come the closed-toe shoes!
White ribbed tank from Gap, my black New York & Company trousers, gray fuzzy cardigan from Kenzie (which I bought last winter to fit over my pregnant belly and still love as a slouchy cozy coverup), black city boots from David Tate, silver necklaces from Ann Taylor and Ralph Lauren, silver cuff and silver earrings from Treehouse.
Hair was washed and conditioned last night and let air dry. This morning when we went walking I put into a loose ponytail without brushing or combing. When I got home I let it out and let it dry and then hit a few of the raggedy pieces with a curling iron. I really want to let my hair grow long and let it get back to being curly – a very casual/beachy sort of look. Then if I want some polish I can use a curling iron to make it into softer waves or straighten it with a round brush. I hope to have a couple more inches in time for next summer. With my next cut I plan to have the bangs angled a bit more so that they blend better into the hair when curly – right now they are sort of blunt (and too long) so that they have to be straightened or else they part in the middle and act weird.
My makeup is the classic look for me, but I did a smokey eye with Slate and Soft black shadows from The Body Shop and Avon Glimmersticks in Midnight along the lower lash line.
I will probably be buying a new mascara this weekend when I hit up Target – any suggestions on something that gives even more bang and intensity than Cover Girl's LashBlast?

I know I don’t work in an office, but I do believe in getting dressed every day. I’ve had days where I’ve sat in sweaty gym clothes for too long, or showered and threw on the equivalent of pajamas and the days are never as productive and seem to drag on longer. When I worked…
This is a pretty casual outfit for me to wear to work. I bought this shirt at Target a couple of weeks ago without trying it on in the store. Got home and didn’t like it. I put it and the receipt on the dining table so I could go to Target that weekend and…
Can you believe fall is almost here? While I’m still wearing my shorts and sundresses, I know I need to start thinking about my fall wardrobe. And this fall, I want my wardrobe to be comfortable, machine washable, and enjoyable to wear. I’ve achieved all three with this outfit from Chico’s that is classic with…
Sweater – Vince CamutoPants – Ann TaylorPumps – Nine West (similar)Bracelet – JewelMintPurse – Forever 21Lipstick – Revlon ColorStay “Top Tomato” I hate shopping in Forever 21. Just walking past the store gives me hives – it’s always packed with people, messy rounders, loud music, super bright lighting, and always smells weird. However, my local…
Oh the weather was FANTASTIC this weekend! I love weekends in fall that are so crisp and clear and have weather mild enough that you can go outside and enjoy the beauty of the season! Saturday, our friends Nicole & Ryan invited us over for a cookout. Very casual affair, didn’t change from what I…
May is flying, I can’t believe I got around to writing about what I wore in April until now! But I think anyone with a student who is heading to the next level of school can relate. My daughter is finishing up middle school and heading to high school so there are so many activities….
I’m in love with the Loreal tubes mascara. I think it’s called double extend. It’s the only thing that works for my short, stubby lashes that grow straight downward. (Thanks grandma!!)
Cute cardigan! I like that outfit a lot. I like the two step mascaras. They always seem to have the most impact for me. You put on the white “primer” and then the black part goes on without any clumping or a need for a second coat. I think I use the L’Oreal brand XXL volume one.
I am loving the L’Oreal mascara that came out earlier this summer, in a black tube, “collagen and something.” I like the non-waterproof version. Works better for me than Diorshow.

Fantastic outfit 🙂
I am obsessed with L’Oreal Telescopic and the new vibrating mascara from Maybelline

I love that cardigan! As always you are looking great!
I use the lancome vibrating mascara. It’s a little pricey, but it works like magic.
I saw that L’Oreal just came out with a knockoff of it, though-so maybe you could try that one?
You look very pretty today!
Smile!
