If you get mascara on your face, wait a few minutes and it will pick right off.
For extra moisture on the skin, apply your moisturizer first then spray on a moisturizing toner. I like the toner from Lush.
If eyelash glue gets stuck in the lash line, remove it using an oil based cleanser like the one from Josie Maran.
Freshen up the look of a room by getting new pillows and lamps.
When you are done blow drying your hair, use the cool shot on your hair. This will set the style of the hair and add shine.

Columbus Day Weekend Sales: Piperlime: 20% off with code ‘FALL20′ Madewell: 30% off with code ‘OHFALL’ Club Monaco: Up to $100 off with code ‘FALLSALE’ Nordstrom: New markdowns taken
I have to admit I was very hesitant to try on a dress like this. I was afraid it would show every imperfection on my body. But it did the opposite, it is a very flattering shape. This style of dress is so versatile, it can be worn so many different ways. Pair it with a blazer or put a sweater over top with some booties and you have a completely different look. I would call this a closet staple! (if you’re feeling body conscience, wear some spanx underneath)
All of these trends are so hot for fall. Here are some great pieces at any budget. Piperlime is having 20% off Fall Must Haves with code ‘FALL20’. So many cute pieces on sale!!!
1. Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Palette: I purchased this palette at the beginning of September and have worn it almost every day since. It has great cool toned neutrals, all in a matte shade. It’s great to mix with all the eyeshadows I already own. I love mixing it with warm toned neutrals for a smoky day time look. Click here to read my review on the palette.
2. Faux Fur Vest: I have been obsessed with this faux fur vest. Dress it up, dress it down; it’s an amazing piece for fall- no matter where you live! Click here to see my post on this vest.
3. Wrap Jacket: This has been my go to jacket all September for my every day life. Whether running errands or picking my kids up from school, this is the perfect jacket. It’s so cozy! Put it on with skinny jeans (or leggings) and you are good to go. Click here for my post on this wrap jacket.
4. Sunglasses: I have been loving these sunglasses! My face has never fit Ray Bans very well. But these fit awesome! I love the shape, they come in several different colors and they are 20% off right now!
5. Dior ‘Incognito’ Lipstick: All I can say is obsessed! Perfect color, perfect consistency! This lipstick is so moisturizing and beautiful!
6. Wine Colored Denim: Now that fall is officially here I am loving this color of denim. I bought these from J Brand in July and I’m so excited to finally be wearing them. Check them out in this IG pic. Plus, they are on sale right now!
7. Peep Toe Bootie: I have been wearing my peep toe booties about 5 days a week. I can’t get enough! They are so hot right now!
8. Rebecca Minkoff Avery Tote: This bag has been my go to every day bag for fall. It’s big enough to carry all my stuff, yet comfortable to carry and adorable! And 50% off!!!
9. Kate Spade Pump: When I’m not wearing my peep toe booties I’m usually in a pump. A great pair of comfortable pumps are a staple! Throw on a pair of pumps with jeans and a t-shirt and you will look fabulous! More pumps I love here, here, here.
My family goes to the Chicago Botanic Gardens every year. It’s one of our favorite things to do. This year we brought more family and friends with us and we had so much fun! All the flowers and trees are so beautiful right now. It’s a great place to walk around and enjoy the beauty of nature. If you are in the area, I highly recommend going :)
