Almost a month late on posting this, sorry! But the outfit was so cute, so I had to share. Inspired by pumpkins and the classic Halloween colors; black and orange. So what'd you wear on Halloween?

A Rainy Tuesday

This outfit was inspired by Bethany, or MacBarbie07's, rainy day outfits video. I absolutely love her style and take inspiration from all of her outfits. I woke up to a rainy, dreary Tuesday morning and decided to pull some pieces from my closet that were similar to Bethany's first outfit in the video and this is what I came up with. I think this look is so cute! Without the scarf, the outfit is kind of plain, but by popping on that scarf my outfit was instantly more girly and polished. Best believe this is one of my new favorite fall outfits and I'll probably rock things similar to it more often! I also styled my hair differently than usual, and I love it! I'll film a tutorial soon so you all can rock this look too.



Jeans from Forever 21:
I love how comfortable and inexpensive Forever 21 jeans are, I own so many different pairs!


Cardigan from American Eagle:
I'm in love with navy blue cardigans and this one from American Eagle is so soft and keeps me warm on chilly, rainy days.


Tank top from Old Navy:
Every girl owns a basic tank top that goes with every outfit and every season, this is mine. 


Riding boots from Target:
They are so comfy and I love how they look now that I've worn them down a little bit. I love the look of "worn in" boots.


Scarf from my mom's closet:
I often find myself digging through my mom's huge collection of scarves when I need to spice up an outfit. This scarf added a pop that made the outfit stand out a bit more.


Earrings from American Eagle:
I love these earrings! I got them for Christmas a couple years ago, and they give a girly touch to any outfit.

Beauty Wishlist!

Hi everyone! Today's post is a real quick beauty wishlist. I had so much fun making this post and I'll be posting a fashion wishlist soon, so look forward to that! These are all the beauty products that I'm currently lusting over and would love to add to my collection as soon as possible. Be sure to leave a comment below and let me know what's on your wishlist at the moment!


1) Tarte Lipsurgence Gift Set from Sephora: $29
I LOVE the Tarte Lipsurgences and I really want more! All the colors in this gift set are so gorgeous and I'd really like to get this set in the near future.


2) Bare Minerals Pretty Amazing Lipcolor in Ambition: $16
To be honest, the name of this product attracted me to it! It reminds me of the Pretty Amazing contest that 17 Magazine held. Then I realized how pretty this color is and what great reviews it got on the Sephora website, so now I have to try it out!


3) Bare Minerals READY 4.0 Eyeshadow in The Afterparty: $30
These eyeshadows are absolutely beautiful! They are so pigmented and silky and the packaging is so sleek and really classic. These colors are perfect for a fall/winter smoky eye. 


4) Bare Minerals READY 4.0 Eyeshadow in The Truth: $30
This palette reminds me of the eyeshadow colors used on the characters in Pretty Little Liars, which is what attracted me to it. In general, they are perfect colors for the winter!




5) Revlon Nail Polish in Facets of Fuchsia: $3.99
I first saw this polish on someone's blog and thought it was so pretty! It looks really good with a matte top coat too. It's definitely the perfect polish for fall/winter.


6) Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary Palette: $55
I've seen so many girls on Youtube use this palette, all the looks I've seen were so pretty and I'd love to recreate them! All the colors are pigmented as I expect in Urban Decay shadows. Urban Decay shadows always impress me, but is it worth investing $55 for this palette?


7) Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara: $10
I first saw MeghanRosette using this in one of her tutorials. I thought it was a great idea on Clinique's part! The packaging is so adorable too (I'm a sucker for packaging)!


8) Sephora by OPI Good Tidings We Bling Nail Polish: $9.50
After finding this on the Sephora website and then searching for swatches, I'm sold! Pretty self-explanatory as far as the color goes and obviously I'd wear this around Christmastime. I'm definitely in the holiday spirit this year!


9) Urban Decay Super-Saurated High Gloss Lip Color: $19
I've heard that these lip pencils are amazing and the colors are so gorgeous! I'd love to try any of the colors, which is why I didn't write a specific color above. Urban Decay is quickly becoming one of my favorite makeup brands!


10) Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Perfume (1.7 oz.): $49.50
I love Taylor Swift, so it's a given that her perfume is on my wishlist at the moment. It smells delicious and I'm hoping I'll be able to cross this off my wishlist soon!
