Happy first day of autumn!

I am so ready for all things fall, including cooler weather, sweaters, bonfires, leaves changing and everything else.

With that being said, today I have rounded up my fall wish list.

Bralettes

Bralettes have been a “trend” for a while now and I just recently discovered why you should have one or two in your wardrobe. While I wouldn’t wear mine every day, there are pros to owning a couple.

They are a great alternative to sticky bras. You know that backless shirt you have that you normally wear a sticky bra with. Well when its 1000 degrees and you know you’re going to sweat…BOOM throw on a bralette as a cute alternative. Got a tank or dress that is low cut on the sides, and it shows your bra? Again throw on a bralette and you’re good to go.

Victoria secret recently came out with a whole collection of different styles that are perfect for any outfit. Some of them actually have a little support, which I love!

Bralette: Victoria's Secret | Sweater: Forever21 sold out (similar here, here love this) | Shorts: H&M | Booties: H&M | Purse: Target sold out (similar here and here) | Choker: Forever21 sold out (here and here) | Sunnies: Ray Ban | Lipstick: Too Face Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick in Bend & Snap

Now that I’ve told you my two favorite ways to style bralettes, I would love to hear yours. Do you like the subtle under you’re shirt style like me? Alternatively, are you more of the bralette, jeans and jacket a la Victoria Secrets kind of gal?  Whatever way you wear them, I would love to hear your thoughts!

Transitional

Hi friends!

We are well into September, which means we are all done with summer and ready for fall. (At least this gal is!) While it’s still 90+ degrees, here in Florida, I’m ready for boots and sweaters and this is the perfect transitional outfit. These boots are from last year but there is an almost identical pair here. I love the gold hardware and cutouts. This sweater is a perfect wear now wear later piece. I paired it with jean shorts and a tank here, and when the weather finally gets cooler, it would look just as cute with a striped turtleneck  and denim. In addition, if it’s really cold you can throw on some OTK boots and a fun wool hat.

This cardigan is unfortunately sold out, but I have linked some of my other favorite transitional options below.

Tank: Nordstrom | Shorts: H&M old (similar here & here) | Booties: Last season (this season here) | Cardigan: Forever 21 sold out (similar here, here, & here) | Purse: Target sold out (similar here) | Long Necklace: Kate Spade | Short Necklace: Gift (similar here) | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Lipstick: Too Faced Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick in Bend and Snap!

Today I'm linking up with Walking in Memphis in High Heels, The Fashion Canvas, & Style-Blueprint for the Trend Spin Linkup! 

Drugstore Makeup Review

Hey y’all!

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend. I had such a great time in Orlando. My friend’s parents threw a big party on Saturday with tons of good food! I was seriously in HEAVEN since I’ve been on a low carb diet the last month! Sunday we went to the Brad Paisley concert in DT Orlando. I love a good country concert especially when it’s FREE. Finally, we closed the weekend with the FSU opener against Ole Miss on Monday night! The fact that the Noles won just made it that much better and I was so glad I was there to cheer on my team!! I love football season and so happy college and NFL is BACK!

Now that I recapped my weekend, let’s get down to today’s post.

If you follow me on instagram, I posted a photo of these 3 drugstore beauty products a while back and promised a review. It’s been a while but I am here to make good on that promise today!

Let me start by saying trying to match foundation and concealer to your skin when there is no tester bottle is a little tricky! (I had to exchange them because the first colors I bought were too light.)

I’m going to start with my favorite product of the bunch, which was the Revlon Colorstay Makeup. Not going to lie…I was pretty skeptical about trying this but I cannot say enough good things about this product. I would compare it to my Estee Lauder Doublewear and tell you I think I like it just as much. It’s medium coverage and comes in two formulas. I got the combination/oily and it is so matte which I LOVE!! It blends really well and isn’t cakey. I also love that it has a pump because I feel like I don’t waste product.

My second favorite was the Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen Classic. This eyeliner is just like a pen making it very easy to use. It’s also extremely pigmented which I love. For me it does smudge a little at my inner corners during the day but I just don’t take it all the way in. Overall, for the price I would definitely recommend this.

Last is a concealer. I’ve heard so many good things about Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer but I’m not sure I am 100% sold yet. I like the sponge applicator and the consistency but, when I blend it that is where I get my uncertainty. I feel like it pills around the outer corner of my eyes. This very well could be a different issue like my primer or what I’m using to blend so I am not ruling this one out completely. I feel like it has good coverage (y’all know I have some dark circles!) so I would say for the price point it is probably worth it.  2 side notes with this product: 1. There is a foundation that’s really similar so make sure you don’t pick that up if you want the concealer. (I made that mistake.) 2. If you need help picking your shade on Ulta.com, you can click “Ask a Question” and tell them the product and color you currently use and they will tell you what should be your match. (I think that is really great because as I stated above matching your skin tone when there’s no tester is a real challenge.)

Overall, I would say this was a pretty successful drugstore haul.

What are your favorite drugstore beauty buys? I would love to try some especially lipsticks so leave in the comments below!
