When I visit a city, hotel, or other destination I love, I like getting a souvenir.  I'm not one for those being tee shirts, but when I saw this one in Asheville I couldn't resist!  And I can't resist this fall's trend of enamel pins.  I found these eyelash ones on Etsy and thought they were a perfect way to update my trusty denim jacket.

If you follow me on Snapchat you know I found sunglasses I thought I lost in my backpack when I went to Raleigh. Since I found them, I treated myself to buying some replacement makeup at Sephora.  This lipstick was either a promo code GWP or a VIB offer, and I really really like it.  It's a true red, matte, but not dry looking.  It looks as though I just colored my lips red and it wears away in a gentle way where I don't look as though I ate off my lips.  It's a mini lipstick; I'll see if by the time it's used up if I'll buy the full-sized version.

Shoutout to ASOS Curve which carries plus size jewelry.  As a curvy girl, I've had a hard time finding a choker that doesn't literally choke me.  This spring I got one from Baublebar that broke with a sneeze.  This one from ASOS Curve is adjustable, so I could even wear it lower and add a pendant to it.  They have plenty of curvy-girl jewelry like larger rings, arm bands, bracelets, watches, and plenty more styles of chokers.  Here's to brands making trends accessible to all!
