It is finally getting closer to fall, but I am not ready for the summer days to end yet. When I saw this top in Madewell, I knew we were meant to be together. The spanish influenced stripes and the laidback V on this top had me at hello. I paired this top with some distressed jeans and strappy sandals to embrace the feel of effortless comfort. Tribal earrings and a lizard cuff signal I’m ready to explore. I finished the look with a vintage classic Willis bag to polish it off.

It’s finally here! Fall is in the air (don’t let the green grass fool you). Needless to say, I could not wait to bust out this absolutely fun leather jacket. It pairs so well with this multi-functional button down from JOE’S Jeans. This top is so great because it actually is a sleeveless cutoff! Works perfectly for summer, and transitional outfits. Still want to wear it for cooler weather? Throw a cashmere sweater over it and let that striped collar be a pop of fun.

As the winter winds are approaching, I found it necessary to switch up some of my beauty products to acclimate my skin to colder weather. Here are some of my favorite products for winter, and some for everyday!
1. First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Polish – $24
This stuff is a game changer. I didn’t start using exfoliators until about a couple of years ago, and I’ve never looked back. Most women skip this part of their skin regimen, but let me tell you….your face will GLOW with dewy brightness after using this product. What makes this exfoliant better than the rest, and great for winter? It is gentle, so it will be kind to your dry skin in the winter months.
2. Marc Jacobs Lip Lock Moisture Balm – $24
I know what you’re thinking, $24 for chapstick? This is not your average chapstick. There was a point when I first moved from humid Florida to dry Texas, and my skin did not know how to react. The worst part? Definitely my lips. They wouldn’t stop burning and peeling, and believe me…I tried EVERYTHING. Finally, someone recommended me this product, and I decided why not? Summer or winter, this lip balm will make you rethink every drugstore band you’ve tried. It has SPF 18, so its got you covered all year round. It is also the perfect primer before any matte lipstick or lip stain.
3. Caudalie Intense Moisture Rescue Cream – $39
Let me start by saying, this moisture cream is for all skin types. I will say though, that because of its intense reparative properties, I would only use this at night, or in your dryest of areas. The best part is waking up in the morning with soft, supple skin. It also comes in a convient to carry size, so you can easily throw it in your purse on those days when the weather is against you.
4. Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Mascara – $23
Now this may not be considered a “winter must-have” necessarily, but it is still a must have! Everytime I wear this mascara I get compliments about how long my eyelashes are. It is also great because it is long lasting and it doesn’t clump. This is one of the first mascaras I have used without having to “cocktail” with another mascara to get the effect I wanted.
5. Ciaté Paint Pots Nail Polish in Nude – $15
This polish is my favorite nude polish. It has the perfect balance of pink tones and nudes to compliment fair to medium skin tones. Now this may not come off as a winter beauty product, but if you know me then you know my nails are always painted. I love many shades during the winter, but the nude nail is so timeless. The pink tones in the paint allow your skin to look alive during the winter, which can be a challenge to find in flesh tone products.
What do you think of these products, and what winter products can you not live without?

Is there anything more versatile than black? Yes, yes there is…the black tunic. It is the ultimate go to for looking put together with very little effort. I can make it flirty with heels, pair it with jeans and flats, or with some fun printed leggings and thigh high booties. The options are endless! For this look, I decided to really let this Marc by Marc bag shine. It is complemented by this lovely tunic with slight bell sleeves and beautiful crocheted details. I love the added look of a classic patent leather brogue to break apart the flatness of the black. What do you think, what’s your favorite way to wear tunics?

Today I went exploring some of good ol’ Texas, and what more is Texas known for then it’s ranches. Being a Florida girl, this was an exciting adventure for me. I toted along my little Olympus XA, and since it’s a tiny camera it was able to fit into this adorable little camera purse. I love attention to detail, and it is no suprise that this Marc by Marc blouse had me at hello. I’m obsessed with the small peter pan collar and the overly big ruffles for the sleeves–it reminds me of something Blair Waldorf would wear. Now off to enjoy the sunset!
