Claudia, an ICON











Source: FashionGoneRogue

I have always been a fan of Claudia Schiffer. She is so beautiful and classic. She has been
modeling for years and years and during one of my favorite model time periods, the
1990s.

MOOD










Model Hannah Holman has captured a beautiful, moody ambiance in this shoot. With Fall finally here (I think and hope) and the cooler weather coming in, I really identify with the slightly blury, dimmer images.

LOVE.

CAT EYE





















I'm a bit obsessed with a good CAT EYE... I've been experimenting with liquid liner lately and I'm getting the hang of it. This takes lots of practice though!!! Seems like
each day it looks different. Practice makes perfect is what they say right?!! Haha!

Hope you are all well.

I HEART REFINERY 29



















I absolutely love Refinery29. I always check their blog for amazing fashion and style tidbits. Chunky knits and drapey sweaters are some of my favorite Fall staples. When it's cold out, there's nothing cozier than throwing on an oversized sweater with jeans or leggings and some booties or riding boots. Done and done. Here are some of the amazing options I saw on Refinery 29 this morning.

I love all the drapey ones up top especially the third one. AMAZING.

Such great options, what can I say? All we need is the weather to stay a bit cooler for a while.

IN THE APARTMENT









Source: Fashionising

Hello lovelies. I found these photos of model Coco Rochas apartment, SO VERY INSPIRING. Wow, the decor, the colors, and just how everything is put together is DIVINE. Especially after writing my beauty staple post, I really appreciate her beauty closet. So chic, but I wouldn't expect anything less from Coco Rocha.

Have a fab weekend all!

BEAUTY STAPLES


Love this liquid eye liner. Easy to use. I am getting the hang of the whole cat eye thing. Love it.



Rimmel lip gloss.. easy and inexpensive.



This is the best remedy for dry skin, lips, etc.
Pretty much helps everything.



NARS blush in Orgasm. If it ain't broke why fix it? I am ADDICTED to buying blush, but I keep coming back to this color. (I also really love MAC in Melba)




Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara. I have tried so many and even though this is quite expensive, IT IS WORTH IT. BEST mascara ever.


MAC satin lipstick in Faux
This is my favorite pink lip, it's pretty and not too bright.





MAC Shy Girl.
Great peachy nude. Throw some gloss on top of this frosty nude to play it down.




Favorite eyeshadow hands down, MAC Arena. Such a subtle yet brightening color.





Eyeshadow base. Trish McEvoy. Stays on all day.


*Major Secret of mine... creates major cheekbones and is the best highlighter around.


I know LESS really is MORE. I wear less each day. I realize this more and more each day....... I'm slightly addicted to finding the perfect blush though and have a love for fun products.... oh well!
Any favorites you recommend??
