Wear a Mask (and look cute while you do it!)
I have been wearing a face mask, Covid style, since the beginning of our country’s lock down. At this point, I do not even think about grabbing a mask, it has become a part of my daily routine. At work, I have to wear a mask for most of my day, so I had to go on a scavenger hunt for ones I could wear comfortably. Maskne is a whole other subject, but I needed masks that are breathable and that stay on my face without having to yank it up over my nose constantly. I have been on the hunt for all these months for the best masks on…

Amazon Fashion Finds
I am pretty sure we are all addicted to Amazon at this point! How can you not be?! Does anyone else look at their shopping history and laugh at how random it is, or is that just me? You can literally buy anything, and have it on your doorstep, sometimes the same day. The quick shipping, low prices and convenient one-shop-stop makes Amazon a favorite of mine. Amazon does have some major fails, too. I hope my research and trial and error helps you with future purchases! Cateye Sunglasses: These are my favorite sunnies to keep in my bag! They fit my smaller head and are the best designer dupes…

Build a Timeless Closet
The beginning of Fall welcomes leaves changing colors, temperature drops, the start of classes and new fashion trends. Trend usually means temporary, but that is not always the case. Sometimes a trend comes and sticks around, securing a permanent spot in your wardrobe. Many of the most important components in your closet consist of fall staples. Fall lends itself to a totally timeless style, and those timeless styles are solid wardrobe essentials. The fall is not only about timeless pieces, but lots and lots of layers. When the weather starts to cool down, the clothing variations are endless. September and October begin the transition of cool crisp mornings into the…
