#StyleMeOctober Day 22: So My City

I live in a college town of 150k, so you can probably imagine some of the interesting fashion I see on the streets of my city. Some good, some bad, some…essential. Like these Sorels. 
Last year I roamed the snow packed canvas of Fort Collins in Uggs, Hunters and embarrassingly, heels. None of those worked but eventually my native Colorado friends informed me about these babies. 
While I don’t own a pair quite yet, these are the ones I plan to order!

#StyleMeOctober Day 20: Hue On Hue

Admission: I skipped days 16-19. Not because I didn’t like the themes, but because life just sort of got in the way and I had an exhaustingly busy week. After a wonderful weekend with my husband and friends, including breakfast at a coffee shop, church and a chat w/my BF this morning, I’m feeling refreshed and ready to tackle life. 
And I’m starting with my #StyleMeOctober Challenge. 
So here you have it…my best version of hue on hue w/denim. 

#StyleMeOctober Day 13: Makes Me Want To Twirl

Today was the perfect day to be in a skirt that “makes me want to twirl” because it’s always fun to get a bit dressed up for church and running errands afterwards. Today’s were: dog park, Home Depot for a little project we’re working on and the grocery store for some lunch ingredients. 
Scarf – Target
Chambray Shirt – JCrew (this season)
Belt – Abercrombie & Fitch circa 2003
Skirt – purchased from a little boutique in Chelsea last December
Flats – Old Navy (this season)
Sunnies – Michael Kors
Bag – Vintage Coach
Coffee Mug (it’s the most durable thing ever) – Bed, Bath & Beyond (for like, $5)
Have a great Sunday!

#StyleMeOctober Day 11: All About The Eyes

I’ve never been that good with makeup. I’ve picked up a few tricks here and there to get me by, but I’m really pretty simple when it comes to my makeup routine. It takes me less than five minutes to do my makeup each morning. 
One thing that I have improved on in the past year though, is my eye makeup and I have this to thank for that. 
Too-Faced makes it so easy, with the color palettes laid out for you & instructions on how to use each color palette for a different look (a total of three looks). It’s a bit pricey ($45 or so, I think) but it lasts for a long time. I’ve been using it for about a year now and have even branched out to buying single shades and making my own combos with them! 
I’m no pro, but at least now I feel like I have “real” eye makeup on, as opposed to the one shade swipe that used to be my routine. You can find Too-Faced at Sephora.
