October Inspiration Board

Hi friends and happy Wednesday!

In the past few years, I have become obsessed with making inspiration/mood boards. I have a pin board in my room that I pin stuff to from magazines, stickers, and I even have jewelry on it! I typically change out that board every season to help freshen it up and spark inspiration from the trends that are currently out at the moment. 

For October, I wanted to create a mood board to share with you all. October is one of my favorite months #Scorpioseason. The vibe to me is much more darker and neutral than September and if you know me, you know black is my favorite color! I knew I wanted to design this inspiration board with black in mind, adding some pops of gold here and there. I used all of these images from my Tumblr feed! Look out for my November inspiration board coming soon!

Ever since I was a little girl, my family and I would drive to Highlands every year around this time. The leaves and the architecture have always caught my eye. Nothing beats a weekend in the mountains!

Until next time,

Hi, friends! Long time, no talk. I have been very busy with school + life. I hope to get into a routine again writing posts. Sometimes, I find myself in creative blocks and I cannot come up with anything to write about! Today, I thought I would talk about some products I'm loving/eyeing right now.

I've seen everyone with this belt. It's a trendy, western look but it also adds something different to your basic, black belt. I love how some come with the double buckles or you can get one with just one buckle. A few weeks into school, I was still not recovered from my loss of sleep during sorority recruitment. I would finish with classes and then take 3 hour naps every single day for about 3 weeks. My under eyes definitely suffered for the loss of sleep so I immediately began looking for a solution to try to cover the dark circles. I found this product  from Benefit at Sephora. Apply a little on top of your foundation and then apply regular concealer and it really does work wonders! I got the shade medium (03) to add a brighter effect to my under eyes. Every week while I'm at Target, I find myself walking down the isles of the shoe section, hehe. I saw these booties and fell in love. They are a complete look-a-like to these Jeffrey Campbell ones at an unbeatable price! While at Target, my roommate and I have been obsessed with drinking tea lately. With it being fall and full-PSL season, we had to get this tea. Along the lines of fall things, my mom has been burning this candle nonstop. I purchased a couple of wall scents for our dorm room so it would smell like fall!

What are some of your recent favorites?
