October brought some goodies into my life. (and not just yummy candy) Let's see what made the favorites:

First things first: 

I found this lovely little Mossimo crossbody and I've become obsessed. I love my Kate but I wanted something a little more autumnal/ wintery. So this bag it was. The deep burgundy and the details on the front.... it's so pretty. And it doesn't look that big, but you can fit quite a bit in there.

This Olay cleanser feels so so good and hydrating.

Pretty sure I bring out a new candle in like every month's favorites, but I absolutely this Sandalwood & Spiced Honey scent from Target. (Where else?) It basically smells like the inside of a Bath & Body Works in autumn, and who can resist the gold? That's what pulled me in in the first place....

Essie is also a frequent winner, and for good reason. This month's pick, Leggy Legend, is an October-January essential. The perfect golden hue with a fun touch of glitter screams holiday party season.

Thanks to Zoella, Rimmel Kate 107 lipstick is my #1, "ride or die" if you will. This month, I discovered that 030 is another color that everyone needs in their life. A lovely autumnal plum, it's semi-matte and lasting finish and I'm actually obsessed.

Recently there's been quite a few good albums out, and Selena Gomez is a top pick. Y'all. That album is gooood.

Also: My girl is always on the list. 

Tell me all your faves!

The Winter Skin Saver

I don't switch up my face routine often. I stick with what I know works; I like routine.

However, recently I got to try Influenster's Homecoming VoxBox and I've fallen in love with this  Olay Active Botanicals cleanser.

I've been using this one in the mornings (and my normal cleanser at night) and each time it leaves my skin feeling refreshed and ready for the day. It's formulated with Snow Mushroom which creates a lightweight feel and gives a healthy glow, and it's perfect protection from the upcoming harsh breeze of winter.

I just add in this moisturizer and my face is instantly smooth and makeup ready.

This cleanser is the perfect first step to your daily routine! Have you tried it yet?

* Olay Active Botanicals Refreshing Gel Cleanser was received complementary from Influenster for testing purposes, but as always all opinions are my own.

Three Easy Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

As much as I love Halloween and picking new costumes each year, I kind of get lazy with things and I always end up waiting til the last minute and then I usually just fall back onto my "go-to" costume. (A ride or die, if you will)

But fall back no more, because I've got three easy costume ideas you can throw together easy peasy.

Madewell white t shirt / Polo Ralph Lauren cardigan / White skirt / Chantal Thomass thigh high stocking, $35 / Charlotte Russe black flat / Carolee pearl jewelry

There's no denying Clueless is a classic, and so are Cher's outfits. Her famous plaid look is easy to re-create with pieces you probably already own.

Slim fit pants, $12 / Office black stiletto, $28 / Fancy headband, $4.58

Who can forget the Mean Girls scene with Karen's "I'm a mouse. Duh"? As usual, Target's got you with their graphic tee. Add some leggings and mouse ears and voila! If you wanna throw a little diy in, you can even make your own shirt.

Iconic by UV babydoll dress / Sheer black tight / Black high heel pumps / Belk Silverworks cultured pearl jewelry / Accessorize head wrap hair accessory / Long satin glove

And then we've got my personal go-to, the flapper look. Always classy and fun, you can go for an actual costume dress or a fringed dress from a favorite store.

Now let's play a game called which one will be my costume this year........

What's your fave last-minute look? Any go-to's?
