Some of My Favorite Things...

So here it is! What you have all been waiting for... a list of my favorite things! For my first list I kept the products basic and stayed with items that everyone can use. The products I chose will look, smell and feel great on everyone. They are some of my absolute favorites that I use every single day in my beauty routine. I fell in love with each and every one of them and I know you will too!

With all of this fall rainy weather lately this photo is very inspiring. Rain and Ice inspire tons of winter make-up looks. Its good to switch up your look going into the new season. As the seasons change, so does your skin. And so should your make-up.You might need to try a different type of foundation to accommodate different skin needs. A new moisturizer. Or a deeper shade of lipstick and blush. The smallest change can make all the difference. Plus its fun to experiment with new looks. Whats your new fall look?

Kanye's Fashion Debut

Kanye West launched his first ever womenswear collection during Paris Fashion Week. The collection was a mix of separates and club dresses in neutral colors, with the occasional splash of color in red or blue. The pieces showcased high hemlines, low cut necklines and an array of cut outs. The collection has an urban NYC edge. I feel some of it has been done before, but there are a few pieces I would definitely wear. As Style.com's Tim Blanks put it, the line is " ...a work in progress". My favorite? The shoes! What yours?
