Autumn Skincare Faves

Below are my current fave skincare products. I'm mainly using them to combat the drier air as we shift from autumn to winter.  

I apply the Shiseido Revitalizing Treatment Softener after my toner, and I can feel my skin sucking it in! A few pats and it's all absorbed!

It's Skin Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Serum is the thickest serum I've ever used. It's not fast absorbing and feels more like a lotion, which is good in transitional weather.


To avoid flakiness and allow for products to penetrate deeper I exfoliate at least once a week. My current fave is Babor's Enzyme Cleanser, which is a physical exfoliator. You shake out the powder in your palm, and then add water to emulsify. My sister has sensitive skin and found this physical exfoliant gentle enough for her. However, she only uses it once a week to avoid over-exfoliating.

As we transition from autumn to winter the air itself is hydration sucking, so I start using a sleeping mask before bed to prevent moisture leaving my face! Laneige's Water Sleeping Mask is OG and I found this bottle discounted for $10 at my local Marshall's!

Campus Update

Typically everyone's outfits adjust for the weather, but I feel as if my style changes too. 
I don't know what it means but for now I'm content with my cozy&comfy.

One great thing about being on campus is the availability of free stuff. Gonna go ahead and declare it now, I LOVE FREE. The implication that 'nothing in life is free' usually pops up after my wallet and I's victory dance.

Also I be-leaf I have become an internet shopper. One of those online deal seekers, the eBay&Amazon scryers. I cannot help it that what I need is online, cheap, and has free shipping!

SERIOUSLY WHAT IS IT WITH THE FREE STUFF* I might as well be a hoarder!

*Samsung held a weeklong event at my school that involved designing our own t-shirt! Of course I drew a quote by mastermind Tolkien.

Mad for Plaid

I cannot recall the last time I was alone and allowed to do anything I wanted. And I mean absolutely anything! This weekend is just that and should be prescribed to all at least once a week.

Thanksgiving is upon us and the cold weather has hit. I'm compiling a few of my favorite winter coats (needing a solid one for the next years), and still searching for the perfect leather boot.

What's strange to me about the fashion industry is the amount of available items, but not the single one I want. Am I making any sense? Perhaps this is what pushes young designers, to create what the industry is missing. For me, the perfect dark brown, chocolate flat-heel riding boot is very much missing...

Either way, at least I found my plaid for autumn! Diggin' the lower hem for skirts this season.

Weather Official!

Sure the official start of autumn has already passed, but I prefer to dress according to weather and today was the perfect fall day!

Chilly air, peeks of sunshine, and a very cool breeze.

I'm so pumped! Of course I've already transitioned; taken out the fall/winter bag and gave myself a mani.

Color me obsessed with the deep burgundy&rose glitter! 
(also experiencing a major ear-cuff affair.. aren't you?!)


To get the more pink-bronze metallic, I used a base coat of the burgundy so it would show more rose gold colored.

Falling into Fall

Took some time to unwind in the best way:

cappuccinos & magazines!

Thought I'd share InStyle's August 2013 insight as I rummage through my closet to compound what I've bought so far. It feels, and sounds, so much better now that shopping is 'therapeutic' instead of 'an addiction' ;)

Valentino Fall 2013

I don't wish to bore anyone with endless posts of fashion shows and whatnot...

Which is why I chose another Valentino collection that just blew me >further< away. And I hope you can find somewhere in your heart to ingrain some folktail, earthenware inspired goodness.

Prabal Gurung Fall 2013

It always puzzled me as to why designers released collections well before the said season, however with the recent snowstorm, all I'm doing is spending my time swathed in plush throws...
... and absolutely dying over Prabal's Fall 2013 collection.

Talk about romantic, dark, chic, tough, feminism all rolled into one!
