Normally, I do a back to school shop but, this year I didn't have time to do any of it so over the past couple months I have been collecting some new pieces for this season. Fall is my favorite time of year to really express my style; it's super easy to think of outfits because you don't have to deal with oppressing heat and sun all the time. Layering pieces and not wearing flip flops everyday is something that I always get excited about for this time of year.
I haven't worn colored pants since the sixth grade but, boy do these blushed AEO Denim X Jeggings look so cute! I know that pink is not normally a color you would wear in the fall but, I think this shade really works. Especially paired with a black and white flannel, it can add a nice touch of color without making you look like an Easter extravaganza. They're so comfortable and were only $20 at American Eagle!
I have always loved the look of booties and chelsea boots, specifically, look great paired with skinny jeans. I wanted a pair that would have a slight heel and were also a different color other than chestnut or black. The AEO D-Ring Western Bootie is quite the bootie! At first, they were a bit snug, probably due to the pointed toe, but I broke them in and they can really dress up any fall look, which I love. They're classic and timeless--a great fall shoe.
I have been obsessed by the look of a cute, woven pom pom hat lately. This one I actually got a while back at H&M is no longer on the website, but I linked one similar anyway. You can feel warm and snug while looking very cute and ready for winter!
Another thing that I found was this huge blanket scarf from the Target dollar section (of course). Whenever I go to Target they always seem to be out and this one happened to be there one day and I was like, "Uhhh why haven't I ever seen this before?!". It was only $7 and it's honestly one of the best scarves I have ever owned. I love the dark greens and blues in it instead of your usual reds and beige colors you seen in fall scarves; perfect for fall and winter, as well.
I have been loving the fall fashion trends lately and am always up for a change! Let me know what types of pieces or trends you guys have been loving this fall down below.

Only two more weeks until Halloween and I am so excited for all things spooky and creepy! If you are having some type of get together, Halloween party, or just want to send a friend a nice treat and don't want to spend a ton on little party favors like these, the Target Dollar Section has everything you need.
The Target Dollar section has been one of my favorite places to buy all things home and their constant variations and restocks of amazing "crap" is changed every season and I always end up spending like $30 on a ton of cute stuff. I recently had to go buy a Halloween themed raffle prize and knew exactly where to get it! Stuff like this shouldn't be something you have to drop your whole wallet on. Sadly, Target does not have any of these things specifically online due to their constant circulation of product but, every Target will most likely carry these things for under $10.
A couple of the first things I saw and thought were really fun were these Grow Capsules that you can put in water and they turn into really cute pumpkins and monsters. I always used to get these at parties when I was younger and at night we would put every one of them in a glass jar and by morning they would all be huge and fully grown creatures!
I also found this cute Jack'o'lantern bucket and these really adorable socks to go with it. I wanted to include some candy (obviously because it's Halloween) and Caramel Apple Pops are the best Halloween sweets in my opinion!
I really loved this huge, fox eraser and thought it went perfectly with the Halloween theme. Also, I used to have memories of my mom buying us these window clings every holiday season and I was obsessed with how squishy and fun they were to decorate with.
Another fun thing to get are little crafts that your guests or friends can do at your party or at home after the party! I thought that this really creative Character Jar Kit was a fun thing to make and decorate a drab dresser or coffee table. Who doesn't want a kitten jar?
The Target Dollar Section has one of the best selections of party favors and gifts and are always under $10! Most of my background in flat flays consist of products from the dollar section; it's incredible how awesome it is to not spend a fortune on things like that.
Have you guys visited the Target dollar section?

Autumn is my favorite time of year for all things makeup; especially with my olive skin tone, I am obsessed with the jewel and nude tones that come with the season. This specific "look" has been already repeated countless times and I have craved a long wearing look that will stay all day and won't leave my face on these windy fall days. It's simple but, hints of color make this look emulate all things I love about fall!
I just did a review of this incredible Milani foundation about two days ago, here, and I can't seem to stop using it! You can read a more detailed description of it using the link but, I gotta say, it's one hell of a product. For someone with extremely combo skin, it smooths over any dry areas and doesn't leave my face looking drained or dehydrated and when my skin is a bit more oilier on some days, it holds it's dewy look without creating a shiny mess after a couple hours. It's a no-brainer for when you need a great full coverage foundation because you can skip the concealer and be out the door in no time. It'll definitely be in my collection all year round.
I have also been really loving the Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade. I did another review of this product and also raved about it. The dramatic brows are so in this season and I love the way they can really frame a look.
My obsession for metallic and jewel toned eyes can sometimes get out of hand. I'll use so many combinations of them! Especially this Laura Geller Baked Color Intense Shadow Duo in Dolce/Raisin. The pigmentation of these two shadows are astonishing and are very easy to blend to create the mastered fall eye look. Sometimes, I'll also go into the crease with the Marsk Mineral Eye Shadow in You're Toast; it has been a recent grab in many of my makeup routines lately. One of those very pretty copper shades and (knowing me) I had to use it now that it's finally fall.
Okay, so, I am a little bit guilty here. I didn't give Maybelline's Lash Sensational Mascara a fair chance. I reviewed this mascara a lonnng time ago, you can read about it here, and totally dissed the waterproof version of this mascara. Which was very stupid of me because normally waterproof versions of mascaras have slightly different formulations.
It was true, what I said but, I never gave the normal one a fair shot. It is a really great, curling and lengthening mascara. I'm sorry for any of you I offended when I totally didn't compare it to the original formula. Now they have like a new one that I think might even be better than this one! Maybelline ceases to come out with impressive mascaras and I guess I was wrong about this one for the most part.
Mac's Velvet Teddy Lipstick is a cult classic and one of my absolute favorite nude lipsticks that I have ever tried. It's fairly matte and moisturizing at the same time; great for an everyday, fall look.
A recent purchase of a Smashbox set included this mini Hydrating Under Eye Primer that has really helped prevent my concealer from settling into my fine lines under my eyes and really makes a difference when I put on foundation. It's great for those dark fall mornings when you're completely disoriented because you forgot it was daylight savings time and can't wake yourself up for the life of it.
I think I might do more of these posts to share what I have been reaching for every morning according to the seasons and whatnot--I love reading these types of posts and hope you all do too! What other types of products have you been obsessing over this fall?
Xoxo, Nat
