There's nothing more effortless than a pair of black skinny jeans, a black shoe, and a dressy top. It makes getting ready easy and it's the perfect mix of dressy but not over the top. These Ella Moss wedges definitely completed this outfit!

fall outfit

There's nothing more I love than mixing different prints and different styles when creating an outfit. My favorite styles to combine are feminine and edgy with a bit of hippie in the blend. With that being said I also style an outfit around particular one item. I feel like it makes the rest of the process a lot easier and it doesn't always leave the clothes in your closet scattered around your room.
Today, I wanted my one item to be moccasins. Having a pretty easy day with some errands to run, I wanted to leave my outfit comfy yet stylish.

 
and of course the accessories:

jordana best lash extreme volumizing mascara

While I often leave my home with a bare face, there are two products I never leave without - lip balm and mascara. My ideal mascara leaves my lashes clump-free and long. I don't really care too much about a volumizing(even though the post title would suggest otherwise) or curling mascara.

I've heard about Jordana mascaras before and decided to give the most talked about mascara a try. Lots of reviews said that the mascara gave more of a lengthening effect than a thickening effect which is what I look for in a mascara and at the price of $2.99 a tube why wouldn't I give it a shot? I believe you can get this mascara at your local Walgreens!

Pros:

-inexpensive.

-lengthens your lashes.

-separates your lashes.

Cons:

-a bit too much mascara comes out on the wand.

-the mascara is very thick so if you're not careful it could leave your lashes a tad clumpy.

-not the easiest to wash off your lashes.

home away from home...

I love leaving the city and having a peaceful, carefree weekend. It's nice being able to have those weekends where you just do nothing and relax. Those are sometimes the best ones. Here's some pictures from my weekend...
