You've heard me say this a thousand times but i believe that accessories are everything! They can take a blah outfit to vavavavoom in a matter of seconds! Some accessories are a bit more timeless than others and those are certainly the ones worth investing in. Think... a great watch can last a life time and accessorize any outfit while adding a major convenience factor. I just love a gorgeous multi-tasking accessory don't you? Jord Watches have created a major interest piece with their super gorge wood watches! Yes, you read correctly... wood watches! Let me just say that the quality is impeccable and they certainly do not lack in the style department either! Check out my Cora Maple and Lavender stunner!

My latest obsession however, is their gorgeous make-up line! From the wonderful array of colors to the impeccable packaging, you simply won't want a chance to try some of these beauties! While strobing is a major thing right now, i will never, ever stop wearing my beloved bronzer! It just adds such a wonderfully soft sun-kissed look!

Meet my latest crush! The Sisley Phyto Eye Twist is so easy to use and looks spectacular with a few simple swipes across my lids! I'm completely obsessed with #2 Bronze as it perfectly compliments my brown eyes! This multi-tasking beauty will be your eye shadow + pencil + eyeliner! If you know me, you know i love a great multi-tasking product and this is certainly one of them! Simply swipe this crayon on your eye lids and blend. It blends seamlessly... and once it sets, you can rest assured this beauty will stay put all day long!

I love that it's tinted because some days, i just apply this with minimal make-up and I'm good to go! A major plus for me is the ease of application. This super stick is convenient and super travel friendly!
When i first laid eyes on the IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Vol. 2 The Romantics palette, i fell instantly in love with the beautiful array of soft hues.

Additionally, they're infused with hydrolyzed collagen, acai, green tea and Vitamins A, C & E and free of all the ingredients that make eyes appear older such as talc.

Happy 'pumpkin everything' season! While i love Summer, Fall is definitely my favorite time of year! I love the cool crisp days and deep berry lips! I created a fun little video tutorial to show you how I'm transitioning my makeup to Fall! Here is the list of products i used:
Beauty blotters rejoice! beautyblender's blotterrazzi is a game changing tool that allows precise, blotting on-the-go! This is not your typical blotting paper... nope! Blotterazzi is a flat sponge housed in a sleek teardrop shaped compact that is perfect for your makeup bag! The teardrop shape of the botterazzi fits all contours of the face and is a wonderful alternative to traditional blotting papers. This sponge easily absorbs excess oils and leaves skin radiant without disturbing makeup. Each set comes with two blotterazzi sponges that can last up to 60 days with proper cleaning. Speaking of cleaning, you can use beautyblender's liquid or solid cleanser (a sample packet of the liquid cleanser is included in the blotterazzi compact) to properly clean your sponge. The back of the compact is vented to ensure sponge freshness.
PS... if you watched last night's Emmy Awards... this beauty had a major moment! Just ask Allison Janney!!!!!
