Find of the Day

Black booties...I mean, you need a pair...or five. Well, I've found a great pair for under $60 at ASOS. I love that these boots have a wooden chunky heel. Anyways, cheers to this sale! These booties are made for walking...in style. 

Winter Must-Haves

Winter is among us, friends. Am I happy about it? No. But Mother Nature doesn't care what I think so I'll just be here in Chicago making the best of it. As you know, your makeup routine and products have probably changed a bit over the past month. The lips are getting darker and your skin is getting more dry. React accordingly. Swap out your typical hand lotion for a hand cream or even a body butter. Layer on chap stick before your lipstick or alone. While I'm complaining about the harsh winds and snow, you won't find me making a negative comment about finally getting to bust out my plum lipstick! Silver lining, everyone...silver.lining.

Happy Houndstooth and New Year

I recall, and might I add...very clearly...disliked houndstooth when I was a little girl. But, as my mother always told me, things are cyclical. And just like that...houndstooth is back and cuter than ever. This dress (from Target...get out, right?) is thick enough for a true northern winter outfit or worn alone for a southern "winter" day of 75 degrees. I paired this fab find with black tights, black pumps, a crisp white button up top and a tassel necklace. And of course, I topped off this outfit with red lips (NYX matte lip color). I'd suggest snagging this dress while it's available!

Let's Talk Tights

Add a little something this winter to those legs that can act as an accessory all their own! Patterned tights are perfect with heels, ankle boots, tall boots and everything in between. Pair with high-waisted shorts, skirts and dresses. Spend a lot or spend a little, these fun tights are easy to find.
