The Autumn Tag

I saw the autumn tag on The Marvelous Flight of Cara's blog and I obviously had to do it.  It's a well known fact that autumn is the best season in the world.  Well, maybe that's more of an opinion...nope actually I'm gonna stand by what I said, it's a fact.  Changing seasons, new Starbucks drinks, and lots of scarves and boots! Yes please!  So here are some of my favorite things about fall in The Autumn Tag...

1.  Favorite thing about autumn.
The clothes.  Not sure who doesn't love wearing boots, scarves, and tights again.  Boots and scarves are definitely my weakness, I have a closet full of boots and I literally have two drawers in one of my dressers dedicated to scarves.  I also love the change in weather and being able to curl up with a cup of coffee and read my kindle, write on my blog, or watch some Netflix while its rainy and cold outside.

2.  Favorite drink
Obviously Starbucks's PSL, Pumpkin Spice Latte!

3.  Favorite scent/candle.
Of course all candles from Bath and Body Works are to die for, I love "Autumn Day" and "Pumpkin Pecan Waffle."  But nothing can beat those smells that have some nostalgia attached to it; the scent of thanksgiving dinner cooking at my parent's house or my mom's pumpkin surprise in the oven.

4.  Best lipstick.
I am a lipstick fanatic so this is a tough one, but MAC's rebel is perfect for fall.

5. Go to moisturizer.
I have really dry skin naturally so cold weather only makes it worse.  I use Cetaphil and Palmer's cocoa butter all year round, in fall I just use more of it.

6. Go to color for eyes.
I don't really have a go to color for my eyes in autumn, pretty much depends on what mood I'm in or what I'm doing.  However, ELF's baked eyeshadows really do remind me of fall.

7.  Favorite music to listen to.
A little Iron and Wine and coffee is perfect for fall.  Also for some reason Nada Surf's cover of "If You Leave" really reminds me of fall.

8.  Favorite outfit.
Dear lord I have to pick one? Impossible.  Just a couple of examples though are, a cute dress with some boots, tights, and a chunky sweater,;or black riding pants, boots, leather jacket, and a big scarf.

9. Favorite autumn treat.
Pumpkin pie and my dad's party potatoes on Thanksgiving.

10. Favorite place to be.
In bed, at my parent's house, or at a UCLA football game!

I tag all of you to answer these questions!

Let me know what you favorite things are about autumn.

Tell me about it, Stud.

Allow me to please talk about how excited I am that big studs seem to be back in.  For a while it seemed like I could not find a good pair of study earrings anywhere.  Now, don't get me wrong, I love my dangling earrings and all that but sometimes a girl just needs a good pair of studs.  For a while I thought I could only find stud earrings I liked at thrift stores and such.  I like my studs big, and old fashioned (coincidentally also how I like my men).  Now these vintage inspired studs seem to be everywhere.  Here are some of my favorites.

Which are your favs?

Oh How Pinteresting

Happy hump day everyone!  I confess I have been on Pinterest quite a bit this past week since I've been settled in my new home. Even though I pretty much have no more space left in my room for new furniture or projects, that has not stopped me from looking.  So here are some of my Pinterest favs from the week.

How cozy does this room look?  I one day hope to have the coziest house ever.

Love this look. I'm in need of everything in this outfit.

Brown combat boots are definitely on my wishlist for fall. I don't know how I don't have a pair already.

June Favorites

1.  Black wrap with gold studs: I got mine at a local boutique but this one pictured is very similar and can be found here.  I have seen them all over though. It's perfect to add a little edginess to an outfit.

2.  Sparkle nail polish:  I am obsessed with sparkle nail polish lately, whether it's ombre sparkle nails or an sparkle accent nail.  I get most of my nail polish front the drug store or Forever 21.  I cannot afford to constantly buy expensive nail polish and at only $2.80 I've found that Forever 21 polish lasts pretty long. The polish pictured as well as other colors can be found here.

3.  Two Faced Shadow Insurance:  I had been looking for a shadow primer at a reasonable price that would make my shadow last all day and this one has worked out great so far!  It's under $20 and the tube has lasted me quite a while, you do not need to apply too much for your shadow to stick.  This primer helps my shadow and liner not to crease, smudge, or fade which is perfect for long days. I got mine at Sephora, you can find it online here.

4.  Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream:  OH. MY. GOD.  So I have incredibly dry skin and get eczema when I stress out so it is very hard for me to keep my skin moisturized, especially my face. Between wearing makeup and washing my face every night my face dries out very easily.  I have tired moisturizer after moisturizer and this is by far the best I have ever found.  My mom has the same dry skin I do and she had bought it for herself; I tired it out and after one night my skin felt ten times softer. I cannot believe I lived for so long without this product.  But, like I said I have incredibly dry skin so I can't say how this would work for someone with oily skin.  You can find Cetaphil at pretty much any drug store, here it is at Target.com.

5.  Knit Fedora with Bow:  I got my knit fedora with a black bow on it at Forever 21.  I am fedora obsessed this summer.  It's the perfect summer accessory.  The fedora pictured is the one I have however it is no longer available on Forever21.com although there are tons of other fedoras at Forever21 as well as other stores for summer.

6.  Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo:  Unfortunately if I don't wash my hair everyday it gets incredibly oily so I have been in search of an affordable dry shampoo that wont leave my hair feeling gross.  This product is only $3.00 at Walgreens! Can't beat that! And it works great!  I just spray a little on my roots and brush my hair out and it's like I just washed my hair.  It can be found here online.

7.  Billabong California Love Shirt:  I recently went shopping for some summer clothes and after stalking this Billabong California love shirt online for months I had to go into Tilly's to see if they still had it.  I am proud to announce that I got the very last one in my Tilly's!  It's no longer at Tilly.com either although if you like the shirt, you never know some stores may still have it in their sell section!

8.  Silk Elements Heat Protection Spray:  I went on a bit of an online shopping spree on SallyBeauty.com and I bought this heat protectant spray for $7.99.  I've really loved it, I spray it before I do any heat treatment on my hair and not only does it protect my hair but it makes it incredibly silky and smells nice.  When I first used it I thought it was making my hair a bit greasy but after brushing my hair and styling it my hair didn't look greasy at all, it was just super soft.  I would definitely recommend it.  Not to mention it is now on sale for only $4.99 at SallyBeauty.com.

9.  H&M Bird Print Jersey Top:  I bought this top at H&M a couple weeks ago; the number one reason I bought it was because I don't have anything that looks like it.  It's not exactly something I would normally buy but I've been feeling like I should branch out in my style.  I just walked past it when I was first looking around the store but then when I came back to it I though, "I could make this work" so, I bought it and I'm glad I did.  Like I said, it's different than anything I own and it's a perfect, light, summer top.  I did not see it on H&M.com currently but it still may be in some stores.
