Hey guys! Today I'm showing you the little things that I do and the looks I do during my Holiday break to avoid literally dying of boredom or redecorating my tree for the third time! This is an entire relaxing, effortless day in one post! 

Makeup:
I'm smudging out some black eyeliner, highlighting my face, and applying a berry blush & lip for a dramatic yet easy look!










Outfit: 
I'm wearing a black shift dress, black over the knee boots (my faves!) and a white scarf for an easy, stylish look! These pics were taken in Central Park :)

    

To Do:

           

I took a friend to an adorable coffee place and it was so relaxing! Find a perfect spot this break so you know where to go to wind down (or up!)
And if you live in NYC, this place is called Java Girl and it's on the Upper East Side :)

To Get into the Spirit:




I set my phone wallpaper to a beautiful image of the winter, which makes me so excited for a White Christmas! You can also use a festive image for the Holidays!

Hey guys! Today I'm showing you my 5 Product Makeup Look! This look is inexpensive & fast no matter what products you swap or switch. This is a great base, because you can add onto it so easily. This is also great if you're new to makeup. This is my go-to school makeup look because it perfects my face. 


I start off by concealing my under eyes (and any blemishes) using my Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. This has great coverage so I can use it on blemishes & under the eye. 


I'm using the Elf small stipling brush to blend this in. 


For the 2nd product, I'm using my Makeup Forever HD Powder (in translucent) (not pictured) to set my concealer and matte-ify my face. I'm using a mini Ecotools brush. 




I'm curling my eyelashes and applying the Mayballine Falsies Push-up Drama (in waterproof!) to my top and bottom lashes. This is my fav mascara, I find most need to be layered, but this one doesn't!



For the 4th product, I'm filling in and setting my eyebrows with the Anastasia Brow Gel. This product takes zero time and effort!



For the 5th and Last product, I'm using my Benetint to stain my cheeks and lips. This is so great for quick makeup looks because it works so well both ways.

And that's it!

Hey guys! If there's one thing that I've learned in my life about fashion, it's that accessories make an outfit! Today I'm showing you two versions of each of my top four accessories! 

1. Statement Jewelry 

   

These pieces are elegant and make it so easy to turn a simple sweater and leggings into a detailed, put together look. Necklace from Forever 21 and bracelet from ING (at Macy's)

2. Bralettes 

   

There's nothing more chic and young than a bralette peeking through a tee or a tank. These are a fun way to make it look like you're putting effort in, instead of too lazy to wear a bra or trying to hide your bra straps. PS if you're like I am and need a lil help in the chest area, wear these with your bra, instead of either-or. Black is from Brandy Melville, Pink is from American Eagle. 

3. Scarves

   

I was so into the blanket scarf trend, but this fur scarf is so different and still so wearable. I've featured so many different scarfs in my posts, I think I have a problem. These are soo cozy in the wintertime. Orange from Uniqulo and fur from American Eagle. 

4. Socks 


High socks keep you warm if you chose to wear a dress and give the perfect amount of attention to your legs. Chose choose the same color to maximize the length. Red are random, but I love the Forever 21 one's I'm wearing in black.

Hey guys! This post has a lot of pictures- so it might get complicated! Basically, I'm going to show the Face makeup and the Finishing touches I'm wearing once, since it's the same for every look, but three different eye looks. Sorry about the inconsistency, these are from different days. Also, sorry about the light in the back. 

Look Number One:







Here I'm using the lighter brown from the Naked Basics as a transition, then L'Oreal Infallible Amber Rush on lid, and darker brown Naked Basics shades in outer corner & crease. I'm finishing off with a brow highlight with the lightest NB color and my Stila eyeliner.

Look Number Two:






I'm using the Bare Minerals Top Shelf Eyeshadow duo, using the champagne on the inner lid and the gold on the outer lid. I'm using a dark brown on the outer corner, then blending and applying the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color in Seduction!

Look Number Three:







This is actually the look I wore on Thanksgiving! I started off by using a cream in in the inner part of my lid (& highlighted with it) and used a medium brown on a pencil brush in the outer corner and the the inner and outer crease. Then I used a light orange in the center of the lid. I drew a small black line on the upper lash line and a nude eyeliner in the waterline The eyeshadows are all from Covergirl!

Face: 




I'm applying the L'Oreal True Match Foundation and Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer and blending with a stippling brush. I'm using a cream contour stick from Color Prevails and my MUFE powder!

Finshing Touches:







I'm curling my lashes and applying the Mayballine Colossal Chaotic and Falsies Push-Up Drama Mascaras (later to bottom lashes as well). Using Nars Lagoona and Ita brush to contour, and Benetint on cheeks (and lips where not other wised noted) and the High Beam on my cheek bones. I'm using Anastasia's Brow Gel on my brows!
