Hi there! Happy Monday!

From time to time I like to share my morning skincare routine. Most of the items I buy are between $10-20 and can be found in the drugstore or on Amazon. This is my 35 year old skincare routine for my combo skin. I still have some breakouts, I get oily in my T-zone, I am battling fine lines, and dark circles.

Vegan Leather Leggings | $15 Walmart Find

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I found an incredible pair of vegan leather leggings from Walmart. These might be a Spanx Leather Leggings dupe and they come in both a brown leather legging and a black leather legging from the brand Time and Tru. Leather is very in for fall 2022. I’ve been a big fan of Time and Tru for years and can’t wait to share these with you today.

Time and Tru Women’s Faux Leather Leggings

I have never tried the Spanx Leather Leggings, and I am sure they don’t have the same compression but on looks alone, I think these are a great affordable dupe. These leggings are lined with a soft material so they don’t feel funny on the legs and they pull on easily, and I don’t think that they will make you sweat like some began leather options I have seen. I found these in store but they’re also available online. I am wearing my true size small.

Have you tried a vegan leather legging? Are you jumping on the leather trend for fall 2022?

Shop My Outfits Daily + Cute Comfy LEGGING Look

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I am not a huge legging girl. Don’t click out. I do love them, but I usually wear jeans or trousers, HOWEVER, this fall I snagged a couple of really precious legging-friendly pieces that look a bit more elevated and stylish than the typically zip-up with legging combo [though that is iconic, isn’t it?] I share my outfits every day on my Instagram.

Nike Air Force 1 07s – These are iconic, and classic, and go with so many things! I wear them with leggings, jeans, dresses, and trousers!

Asymmetrical Snap-Up Fleece – This is SO comfy and the vegan leather makes it seem much nicer than if it was just a plain fleece. Because of the vegan leather, I plan to baby this when I launder it and do so by hand and when possible just Fabreze it 😉 I try to do this with sweaters to extend the life of the garment (but don’t worry, not if I am sweating or stinky!) I SIZED UP one so that this was legging-friendly, if you’re shorter you may not need to size up but at 5’7 I needed the medium to get it to completely cover my bum.

Point Split Hem Flare Pant – Call them what you want, in my mind are super thick nice elevated flared leggings, or as we called them in college, yoga pants.

L’Oreal Bambi Eye Mascara Waterproof Mascara

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I LOVE L’Oreal mascara. I’ve been using the L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara for years. I was excited to try Bambi Eye Mascara by L’Oreal and today I want to share my thoughts with you.

Bambi Eye Mascara Waterproof by L’Oreal

I like mascara that is wet that doesn’t flake or clump, and I prefer waterproof mascara because I don’t like to worry about it smudging or if my eyes water. I like a brush that coats and volumizes, and length is good but I do not like a spidery or clumpy look. The Bambi Eye mascara delivers on all of those things. It retails for $8-12 and I will be buying this again.

What is your FAVORITE mascara? Do you wear drugstore mascara or high-end mascara?

Styling Sneakers and a Blazer | 2022 EASY Fall Style

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

We suddenly went from 90 degrees to 60 degrees, so fall style is here. Today I want to show you how I’ve been styling sneakers and a blazer for the perfect combination of comfort and style. I often have days, and I’m sure you do as well, where I need to be ready for a meeting or an appointment and I also want to be outside for soccer or playing with my family. So, I need outfits that work for all different things and can be dressed up or down.

Lulus Miss Punctuality Taupe Lightweight Blazer

Toss this blazer over ANYTHING! It’s the best! I’ve worn it over dresses, and tees, styled with trousers and it looks nice with dressy shoes OR sneakers.

574 Sneakers

These sneakers are incredibly comfortable, a classic that has made a great comeback, and they make my feet look smaller I think (compared to my Nikes especially). I spray the suede on mine with this.

What is your go-to sneaker? I would love to know!

Winter Boots From Walmart?! | Time and Tru Winter Boots Review

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

You will not believe the Time and Tru winter boots I found at Walmart! Last year I finally purchased a nice pair of Sorel Explorer Carnival II Boots and I wore them every day from November until May (that’s Northern MI for ya). When we packed up our home and made a large move this summer, a lot of things ended up in our storage unit and it’s packed so tight that nothing is coming out until we buy a home because it’s a literal hazard to try to get it out. I knew I needed something for this winter, but didn’t feel comfortable spending a lot since I know that I have a beautiful pair in storage. I was grabbing a few items for grocery pick-up last weekend and found these Time and Tru winter boots and I have to share them with you.

TIME AND TRU WOMENS WTR LACE UP DUCK

How cute are these?! Less than $40 and they are so darn cute in person. I haven’t tested them in the cold temps yet, and while I don’t expect them to be as warm as my Sorel boots, the fact that they’re rated for -5° is promising and the memory foam is super comfortable.

Product details

The Time and Tru ladies lace up duck boot will keep your feet warm and dry in style this winter. Featuring a warm faux sherpa lining & sock, and a quilted flannel upper, this boot is temp rated to -5F.

  • Womens Time and Tru WTR Lace up duck
  • Temperature rated -5F
  • Skid Resistant
  • Memory foam
  • warm lining
  • Polyester quilted upper
  • Fleece boa lining
  • TPR shell bottom
  • D-ring lace up closure
  • Polyester
  • Made in China

They also have a ton of other cute options like these Faux Fur Winter Boots (swooning!) and these Faux Fur Quilted Boots.

Do you have a pair of winter boots? Which brand do you have? I would love to hear from you!

Nadine West Unboxing | Is it worth it?

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! And if you’re in the U.S, Happy Labor Day!

Have you ever wondered how a clothing subscription box works? Nadine West offers an affordable-style subscription service.

I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for three years now on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own. I have many favorites, including the best beach sunglasses I’ve ever owned, that I wear regularly.

Nadine West Unboxing

What is Nadine West?

NadineWest.com is a company that sends you an outfit to try on and you keep only what you love. The outfit is a surprise, but you take a style quiz and the stylists get to know your style more each month. The outfits are affordable with pieces costing about $10-$30 each, which is very affordable compared to other similar services.

How Does Nadine West Work? 

On the Nadine West website, you take the style quiz so that the stylist can get to know what you are looking for in an outfit. You will receive a pink package in the mail with your personalized outfit. Try on the outfit and keep what you love and send back what you don’t.

My Thoughts On Nadine West 

The style quiz was super easy to do, which was great because I wanted something that didn’t take too much time but I was still able to make notes to make sure the stylist knew my preferences. I really loved the surprise aspect of this, and it was like opening up a girly gift from a really stylish friend. I cannot stand having to return things, it is such a bummer, but I LOVE the way this company does it because your outfit comes with return shipping.

Nadine West Coupon Code 

Use the referral code “Nadine” on NadineWest.com (not an affiliate code for me, just sharing the one they currently have on their website) to waive your shipping fee which means you’ll get your outfit in the mail without paying anything!

Nadine West Unboxing

I LOVED these flowy pants! They have a gorgeous pleated look without the upkeep that true pleating can create. I also got a beautiful, delicate gold bracelet that will go with anything and I can’t wait to wear them.

Nadine West Final Thoughts

I was so happy with my two favorite items from this Nadine West box.

Have you tried any fashion boxes like this? Have you tried Nadine West? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Have a wonderful rest of your week! Thank you for reading! xx

THE *BEST* BODY SPRAY EVER? | ARIANA GRANDE CLOUD

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have heard that Cloud by Ariana Grande is a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540, the iconic and incredibly expensive perfume that has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. I do not own Baccarat Rouge 540 but knowing that Cloud by Ariana Grande was considered to be a dupe made me excited to try the Ariana Grande Cloud body spray.

I wanted a bodyspray because I enjoy having a body spray to spritz on myself when I want a very light fragrance or in the evenings (especially after sunless tanning) when I want to smell and feel nice but don’t want my everyday perfume fragrance. I will say this body spray does fade quickly, but for my needs, this still works. My husband LOVES this scent, and I think I’ll end up getting the perfume. The base notes are musky and woodsy and the softer notes are sweet and vanilla.

Do you use body sprays? Let me know your favorites!
