How to Wear a Sweater over a Skirt or Dress

Hi there!

Skirts are not the first things I would wear during these cold months, but under a big, chunky sweater, it creates the cutest and laid-back look! I was hesitant about this style at first, therefore I was selective about how I wrote this post and would wear this look on my own.

Do:

-thin sweater that can be knotted

-chunky cropped sweaters

-floral, or any printed skirts

-match a solid with a print

-keep shoes solid colored and very minimal

-keep a slightly tighter fit on top, if the skirt is very full

Don't:

-mix prints

-wear all one color

-wear a hi-low sweater because it will create an unflattering silhouette

Fall makeup

Hi there!

Around school there are a lot of girls who wear makeup in a tasteful way and I have gotten some inspiration for the perfect fall face!

Here are some trends to give you an idea:

-gold/brown 

Eyes:

1. Apply a gold shimmery eyeshadow to the lid in a light covering

2. Use a white-ish eyeshadow and add about a dot to the inner corner of the lid as a highlighter that will make your eyes stand out

3. Apply a very thin black eyeliner to the bottom water line

4. Use an eyelash curler with 2-3 pumps on each eye and put on either a black, brown, or plum mascara (like "Are they fake?" from Benefit, which I am in love with) to the top lashes, from root to tip

Skin

1. Apply foundation and concealer where needed

2. Take a orangey pink blush and dust it on the contours of your face to achieve a natural glow

Lips

1. Exfoliating your lips can be important during the fall and winter, as the air gets dry, so exfoliate with homemade exfoliators like salt and Chapstick 

2. Apply a darker pink lipstick that is close to natural lip colors

3. Use an everyday lipgloss to maintain a shiny look

Currently Craving- Topknots

Hi there!
I've been gone for a while, getting back into the rythem with school and dance, etc. and haven't found the time to blog...hopefully this will change!!

This week I have been wanting to make the perfect topknot. Because of ballet, I am an expert (??) at doing a ballet bun, and so I thought a topknot would come easy to me...It didn't due to the lack of bobby pins and hair nets that you can not use in those slick buns.

I have loads of hair and I'm still trying to perfect mine so that it does not look like a messy, frizzy blob aha! Have you gotten yours down? Any tips?

Now in the fall we will be seeing much of these high buns and they are becoming my favorite!...here's some inspiration and multiple ways to try the "do":
