Fall Fever

I'm sick of summer.

I've realized that all those times I fantasize about it in the dead of winter I'm almost always picturing a day at the pool: a cold drink, a magazine, soaking up sunshine, etc. (Which by the way, a day at the pool does NOT look like that when you have a child, so I'm just delusional...) But, HELLO, summer isn't like that every day unless your summer is 100x better than mine, in which case I commend you...and can we be friends? 

Summer is chiggers (don't know what a chigger is? Say a prayer of thanks.) and heat and sunburns and sadness. Yeah, I went there. But you get the picture, I'm ready for fall!! (or autumn if you wanna be fancy like that). Fall is picking pumpkins and carving pumpkins and pumpkin pie and pumpkin pie blizzards from DQ and pumpkin spice candles. Pumpkins are obviously where it's at. Plus in fall all the bugs start to DIE. And I'm all for that.

Anyway, with October on my mind I did a little shopping the other day. Now it is still summertime, so I tried to keep that in mind because I'm definitely NOT one of those people who's always cold. I'm always hot. Like uncomfortably so. So defying the heat and throwing on a sweater was soooo not gonna happen for me. Here's my compromise:

Top: Maurices

Skirt: Forever 21 

(I wasn't all about the huge slit up the side so I sewed mine down a bit,

 but for 10 bucks I don't mind)

Shoes: My mom's closet...but here's the same type: Target

I'm a big fan of this outfit because it's very nap friendly. Win.

Make up deets:

I saw this yummy lipstick at the drugstore the other day and the packaging caught my eye, so I bought it. I'm a sucker for packaging. But I'm glad I did because I love the color! Looks like it may be a limited edition though so better snag it quick. 

L'oreal "Julianne's Nude" tehe...oh so immature.

Do yourself a favor and get this mascara if you haven't yet. Seriously. It has a magic wand. MAGIC I tell you!! 

L'oreal Telescopic Mascara

AND one last fun make up trick to leave you with!

(I'm trying to look crazy here, and I guess it's working a little too well...)

Take a white eyeliner and line your water line to make your eyes look HUGE. If white feels like too much for you, try a nude liner for close to the same effect. 

Have fun.
