Sephora

Bite Lipsticks

Their natural and high quality lipsticks, not only stay, but keep lips moist.  I am a huge fan, and own a few shades myself!

Anastasia of Beverly Hills Contour Kit

I have the Light to Medium version and am amazed by all the possible uses.  Although it says contour kit, it can be used as an eye shadow, brow filler and anything else you can think of.  I use the medium tan shade as a shadow for the creases of my eyes and eyebrow filler.

Stila in the Light Palette

I use this palette every day, and it.is.the.best.  They colors are so natural and enhance your features.  They can create a natural or dramatic look based on the combinations.

Mini Perfumes

DKNY Be Delicious

Girl by Pharrell

Versace Bright Crystal

I have all of these scents and love them!

Hope this helps!

Shirt Dress x Fur Vest

Boston, casual, fall, fashion, fashion blogger, JCrew, ootd, Uncategorized, womens fashion, work ootd

Shirt dresses are a versatile piece that can be worn many ways.  They can be worn as a shirt or a dress depending on what they’re paired with.  I wore it like a shirt with leggings and a fur vest and boots.

  The boots anchor the fuller fit of the fur on top.  The pointed toe and simple style keep keep the work polished and cohesive.

The fur is a longer length, so it hits at the right spot, leaving room for the tail of the shirt.  The fur is also thick and very warm.   The shirt dress is from Anthropologie, the sweater is from Lord and Taylor and in their Style Lab, the leggings are form Express and the shoes are form Lord and Taylor by Sam Edelman.  My ring and bracelet is from JCrew and me earrings are from Bloomingdales and by Rebecca Minkoff.
