Even though it's the middle of September (where has the time gone?), it's still 80 degrees in Chicago and there hasn't been any sign of Fall! It's at that awkward transition stage of Summer to Fall and I never know when to wear shorts or when to wear jeans. Lately, I've been wearing a lot of rolled jeans and tanks. It's a bearable in between when it's still pretty warm out but, night usually gets a lot cooler. I have also been loving black and heather toned stuff. It just pulls me in whenever I see a piece of clothing in a store nowadays. 

I would define my style as pretty sporty. I'm loving this "Athleisure" vibe and it's been hella comfy to wear pretty much anywhere. You can wear this outfit out to dinner, shopping, at a movie, to school, to work, or just hanging out on a chill Sunday with peeps. You can dress this look up or down and I love how versatile these pieces can be! 

I have seen a lot of these mixes of athletic wear paired with rolled up jeans and cute accessories; I have really grown to love it. High-neck muscle tees and ripped black jeans paired with my favorite Nike's have been a go to look for me this season. Adding a nice leather saddle bag can add a touch of sophistication and balance the ensemble, in my opinion. 

Shout out to my loving sis, Melissa, for helping me take these pictures (and Dad too). I haven't taken any fashion pics lately and I was inspired to take some when my family went out to Oak Park a bit ago. I've been obsessed with this type of style for a while now and I want to know what trends you guys have been loving lately as well! Let me know in the comments.

I haven't done a nail polish post in so long and to be fair, I'm not that big on the #nailsonfleek trend but, I found possibly one of the most life changing (a little dramatic, Natalie) nail polishes for all you lazy nail people out there like myself. 

I've always hated doing my nails; I thought there was no hope for us girls that despise nails and all things that come with it. Until one very blessed day as I was strolling past a Walgreen's kiosk that read, "1 STEP GEL, NO LAMP", and I was instantly hooked. Wet n Wild's Wondergel has changed the nail polish game for sure. This product is only five bucks and does "wonders" on my nails, here's why:

1) They're So Opaque

I don't think I have encountered a nail polish that has the best opaqueness these do. Every time I have used these, I've only used one coat and I was done. Every color I have bought (only these three, so sad) performed beautifully.

2) They Don't Chip--EVER

I wore this polish for over two weeks and it never budged. Sometimes, with my nail polish on my toes, it never chips but, even on my fingernails nothing came off! 

3) Flash Drying Time

I couldn't compare how fast the drying time was in minutes or even seconds because it literally dries as soon as you apply it. I can be in bed and apply one coat to my nails and go to sleep as soon as I'm done it's that fast. Funny story, I painted my nails with this and immediately ate Flaming Hot Cheetos right after so, if that doesn't say it's a holy grail polish then I don't know what does. 

4) The Best Brush 

I'm never the one to get picky about a nail polish brush but, it so makes the difference! Especially this one because it's flat and can spread across the entire nail as you apply the polish. 

5) No Top Coat or Lamp Needed

There's no need for any final coat or lamp. The beauty of this polish is how easy and convenient it is to use. It looks like a gel and stays looking like a gel for so long. 

If any of you are like me and dread the chore of painting nails, please go out and try these polishes. They're super affordable and amazing quality gel polishes. Wet n Wild keeps impressing me every time they come out with new stuff so I highly recommend trying their other products out. Have you guys tried these yet?

Happy Tuesday everybody! I have always seen bloggers review Philosophy products and I have heard very great reviews about their skincare products. Wondering why I have never tried them before, my best friend actually gifted me this Mixed Berry Tart Kit for my birthday last month.

I have kind of fallen in love with all of these birthday sets and mini travel kits that are out in the stores now. It's a cool idea for a gift and it's nice to get small samples to try out. This has been by far one of the best sets I have tried! 

I was really fascinated by this little guy! It's a shampoo, shower gel, and bubble bath. WHAT?! This has to be my favorite one of them all. As I'm writing this, I've already used half the bottle in the shower. Now I don't normally take baths so, I haven't experimented with it that way. However, I have used it for both my hair and skin; it works really well. It makes my whole body smell and feel ravishing. 

I'm not a huge lip gloss fan to be completely honest. I think this particular lip gloss though, will make me want to where it more often. BTW, it tastes pretty good as it smells. 

Dismiss my Yin Yang temp-tattoo that my sister put on my finger, this lip gloss is pretty sheer and leaves a subtle pink tint to your lips. It sort of reminds me of a Bath and Body Works lip gloss in a way. I like this lip gloss a lot because it's not sticky or really thick when you apply it.
