Fall Favorites

Hey everyone! I am going to go ahead and do another entry today. It's one of those lazy days so I have nothing better to do!
Angela, or HoneyFlower3, is a YouTube beauty guru who I LOVE. She's super sweet and has some very creative and helpful videos on YouTube. Anyway, she just did a Fall Tag video and tagged me in it and said I could do it on my blog since I don't make videos. Well, I thought it was a neat tag so I basically put together a variation of the tag. If you want to do the actual/original tag you can go watch Angela's video at www.youtube.com/honeyflower3. She listed all the questions in the below box :)
Anyway, here's what I put together inspired by the Fall Tag video:

1. Some of my favorite things about fall are all of the warm spicy scents that get released at Bath and Body Works. I just bought one of the new scented candles in "S'Mores" and I absolutely love it! I also love amber scents like B&BW's "Sensual Amber" body mist and Hilary Duff's "With Love" perfume.
2. A favorite wardrobe item for fall is moccasins. I've never actually owned a pair, but I think the pair I put in the picture is super cute. They are from PacSun: Black Poppy Black Poppy Tessa 182 Moccasin

3. It seems like owls are especially popular in the fall and I can never have enough owls in my life. This is a cute owl pendant necklace from PacSun with an antique look that will compliment a fall wardrobe : With Love From CA Circle Pendant Owl Necklace

4. I love any nail polish from Essie's fall collection. I looked at 3 different stores today hunting for Essie's Very Structured polish which is a burnt sienna color....soooo pretty! (I never could find it though!)

5. I love skinny jeans for fall even though flares and boot cuts are coming back. Levi's has a new fit released for their jeans that are supposed to have a more custom fit depending on the curves of your body. This pair is the "demi" curve which PacSun and Urban Outfitters both carry. I think they'd look really cute with a pair of moccasins.

6. Mod Cloth is coming out with some really cute tops for fall including this one, the Pumpkin Roulade Top. I love the colors burnt orange, mustard, azure and jade for fall :)
7. A favorite hair product for fall is Redken's Velvet Gelatine. It will definitely help you achieve soft bouncy hair...and in the fall I tend to go for a loose curled look, so Velvet Gelatine is a must. And it smells soooo amazing.

8. Fall and candy corn go perfectly together! Like Cadbury Eggs and Easter...yum.

9. I love scarfs like this for fall in jewel tones. This one is from Mod Cloth, You're the Pom Scarf.

10. A favorite fall makeup item for me is definitely Stila's Natural Eye Palette. I also like the Urban Decay Naked Palette for fall. Smoky brown eyes and a natural lip or neutral eyes with cat eyed liner and bold lips are always great fall makeup looks :)

One of the questions in the tag was what you plan on being for Halloween. I really have no clue what I'm going to be for Halloween! I want to put together something creative, but I'm really lacking in the creativity department lately...my mind has been focused on 1,000 other things blaaah. Anyway, what are you all being for Halloween?

Mod Cloth Confetti Falls Dress

For my birthday, which was in February (!!!!), my good friend Sarah bought me the Mod Cloth Confetti Falls dress. She is so sweet! She actually read a blog post of mine where I had posted about wanting the Confetti Falls dress and she so thoughtfully got it for me. :) I think it was one of the nicest and most thoughtful gifts anyone has gotten me. I know it has been several months and I kept meaning to do an OOTD featuring the dress, but it is such a nice dress that I don't wear it very often. I feel really fancy when I wear it hahah. I definitely think it's going to make a great dress for "nicer events." It's one of my favorites and I thought I'd do a little update blog post about it. I only have a few pictures from my birthday of me wearing it and they are kind of goofy pics, but better than nothing!

Tribal Trend Pieces by Store

Hey everyone! My last OOTD had a bit of a tribal trend happening so I decided to post some of my favorite tribal/native pieces from each of my favorite stores - Mod Cloth, Urban Outfitters and PacSun. I think the tribal/native trend is great, but I like it in moderation. For example, you wouldn't wear a tribal printed dress with tribal printed shoes and a feather headband...but I guess you could if you really wanted to? hahah
Anyway, tribal print is a nice change from the usual floral pattern.
Check out the pieces I picked from each store:

1. Southern Exposure Sandal 
2. The Six Senses Dress
3. Fuchsia Infusion Dress
4. Beyond Be-leaf Necklace
5. Rising Tucson Top
6. Best Festival Headband
7. Style Takes Shape Shoulder Bag

1. Tribal Stone Bobby Pins
2. Leather Navaho Cuff Bracelet
3. Ecote Front Embellished Swing Cami
4. Ecote Ikat Dress
5. Ecote Beaded Sandal
6. BDG Tribal Print Legging

1. Roxy Runabout Canvas Bag
2. With Love From CA Circle Stone Ring
3. With Love From CA Seed Bead Stretch Headband
4. Keds Champion Jute Slip On Sneaker
5. Billabong Sea Saw Tank
6. O'Neill Chris Cross Body Con Dress
7. Billabong Tribal Corset Cami

Most Wanted Dresses

Hey everyone! I think I'm going to start doing a blog series of most wanted items. For now I just wanted to post about a couple of dresses I reeeeally want.

Dress #1:

I am obsessed with this dress!! It's from Urban Outfitters and is called the Ecote Ikat Dress ($69.00). It actually comes in two other colors. I went and looked for it at my local Urban Outfitters and couldn't find it anywhere. I may just order it offline and hope that it looks good on.

Dress #2:

The green dress above is from Mod Cloth and is called the Kites in Flight Dress. I reeeeally love this one and it's fully lined. I noticed that a lot of Mod Cloth dresses are unlined and I try to avoid having to wear slips. This one is only $47.99 and was in stock yesterday and is now out of stock! grrr....I hate how Mod Cloth items go out of stock in a matter of hours. Hopefully they will replenish it soon.

Dress #3:

The last dress is another Mod Cloth dress called the Wrapped Around Your Finger Dress. It's a little pricey at $74.99, but I really like the unique shape/cut and the bow is adorable. Mod Cloth has by far the prettiest dresses.

Mod Cloth Outfit Of The Day

Here is my OOTD from yesterday. I just got this top in the mail from Mod Cloth and I love it so much! It will be great to wear to work. I also wore black skinny jeans from Pac Sun, black peep toe flats from urbn, pearl earrings and a little purple flower pin in my hair that is impossible to see in the pic.

The top is really cute and has a ribbon bow that ties in the back. If you're interested in purchasing it you can get it on the Mod Cloth website by clicking here. It's called the Fog and Flowers Top and it was only $39.99. When you find something you like at Mod Cloth you really need to act fast because they rarely replenish their stock once items are gone. My problem is that size small is always out of stock.

Dress it Up or Dress it Down

Hey everyone! I thought I would do a post on a top that I really love. It's a silk top I purchased from Urban Outfitters a while back with ruffles on the front and a zipper on the back. In this post I will show you how to dress it down or dress it up.
First is the dressed down look:

And if you want to dress up the top...

I looked on the Urban Outfitters website to try and find the top, but it's not there anymore. I found an alternative on Mod Cloth that I think is actually cuter. It's an umbrella pattern instead of a floral print.

Mod Cloth & Pac Sun Dresses

Hi everyone! If you know me in real life then you are aware of my love for dresses. I have a lot of dresses! My favorite stores to buy dresses from are Mod Cloth, Pac Sun, and Urban Outfitters. Those stores are a definite reflection of my personal style. Also, I love Zooey Deschanel's style! It seems like she lives in dresses. I can totally see why...I mean, dresses are just so easy and effortless. I recently purchased a couple of dresses; one from Mod Cloth and one from Pac Sun.
This is the first dress I got. It's from Mod Cloth and it's called The Dream Vacation Dress. I love the ruffley top and the print is so pretty! It was cold so I wore black tights and black flats. If it were spring or summer I would totally opt for like strappy sandals and gold hoop earrings.

The second dress I ordered is from Pac Sun and it's by the brand Billabong. I actually own a lot of Billabong clothes. They have really cute things for girls! You can remove the straps on the dress and then it will just leave a sweetheart cut, which I find to be very flattering. I wore it with the straps in this pic and some brown Seychelles wedges. Oh and...I'm not really a jewelry person. I know that's kind of weird, but I like to keep it simple with pearl earrings and sometimes I'll wear a necklace.
