Favorite Fall Nail Polishes

I have to say that I am beyond excited that fall is here! It's seriously the best season of all. In order to celebrate it's arrival I wanted to share my top 5 favorite fall nail polishes. Check them out below!




1. Essie Brownie Points: This is a great red-brown color, It really reminds
me of the color some leaves turn during this wonderful season. I love it!


2. Revlon Emerald City Matte: I just adore this beautiful emerald green color. The 
color is gorgeous and it will also work for all the winter holidays that are fast approaching. 
Although I'm not a fan of matte nail polishes, its a simple fix with high gloss top coat.


3. Sally Hansen Hard-as-Nails Cement: This polish definitely has earned a spot in my 
top favorite polishes of all time! Really, it's that good! I simply love this grey color, 

4. Wet n' Wild Burgundy Frost: I simply adore this color for fall nights out and about.
It has a sparkly nature to it, but the dark burgundy color makes it perfect for fall.


 5. Revlon Endless Possibilities: This color is a great fall nude. I love it. Its not to pink and just
makes your nails look great!


What are your favorite fall nail polishes? I'd love to know!

First up there is this adorable set, that I think would be great for a sleepover! It looks comfortable but chic at the same time! (Get it at Asos)
:



Forever 21 has so many cute sets starting at $10!! You won't find a better deal than that!
As a fan of cats, I think this pajama set is puurfect! (Here.)
also another cute one. (Here.)



and is you want to have a sleepover with a significant other but still want to be comfortable then
the following definitely fits the bill. (Here.) It's a romper!



Until Next Time!

Mini Outlet Haul

So I went to Saks Off Fifth 2 days ago and was thrilled to see that they had an amazing sale. Everything in the clearance rack was Buy 1 Get 2 Free!! That's right 2! Unfortunately when I went to the store most of the racks had been picked through. I got 2 things and my boyfriend found a shirt for himself so we still had use of the sale. I also hit up another store favorite Nordstrom Rack! Here's what I got:



I love the white lace details on this dress! (Get it here)


This is something I wanted since I first saw it at Saks months ago, but I 
didn't want to shell out the $45 that is costs.
Needless to say, I was beyond thrilled that it was part of the sale.
 I plan on using it for groceries or even as a weekend bag.(Similar)


This Rebecca Minkoff MAB makeup case was something I was extremely
 thrilled to find included in the sale. It is super adorable and I love that the inside
 is a plastic material instead of fabric. I have a bad habit of just throwing my 
makeup around, but now I don't have to worry about the inside getting dirty.



On another note, my classes start in 2 weeks! Wow, where has my summer gone? While, I am dreading my harder course list, I cannot wait to start wearing cute fall outfits! And of course, I can't wait to share them with you!

XOXO,

Get the Bag for Less!

Like many ladies I love me a beautiful designer bag! Who doesn't right? But also like many ladies, I simply cannot afford a $2000 handbag. Sorry, I'm just a broke college student. :(  However, I have managed to conjure up a list of some more affordable handbags that seem to resemble some of today's very popular styles. While these bags are significantly less expensive, they dont comprise on quality. Take a look!

1. The classic quilted wallet on a chain
Let's begin with what I believe is the most drool-worthy crossbody of all! 
Of course its the Chanel Quilted WOC. While I hope to own this precious baby one day, 
I recently found a great alternative at Saks Off Fifth (the Saks outlet). It comes in different colors
including mint!

 
And with a price that of only $105, you really can't go wrong! Even the inside layout resembles Chanel's WOC. Get it here! 


2.The Celine Trapeze



If you are looking to drop some serious cash right now, then this is the handbag to get!
From celebrities to fashion bloggers, this handbag has definitely been seen on the on arms
of the most noteworthy people. 

While this Zac Zac Posen handbag comes in a larger size, I love the small size shown 
above. Get the same look as the Celine but for a much more reasonable price of only $224 (Here).

3. Givenchy Antigona 


Lastly, we have this beautiful Givenchy classic. Its iconic shape may make it hard
to find something that even faintly resembles this handbag, but I think I found a good contender.

This handbag by Rebecca Minkoff definitely gives off that Antigona vibe! The shape is extremely
reminiscent of its more expensive counterpart. With price starting at $350, there is no reason why you should go check it out! (Here).


Check back tomorrow for another post!!

New Home Decor!

So I recently went to a nearby TJ Maxx, Burlington and Pier 1 Imports. I didn't pick up many items but I did want to share with some items I got for my bookcase!


This cute box! It is just adorable and very detailed. I got it to store some extra photos. Besides the fact that it is just super cute, I got this box because it is quite inexpensive. I found it at Burlington for only $3. Burlington had a ton of these boxes, all with different designs. I know there are other places that sell these boxes but they are way too overpriced, I mean it's only a cardboard box after all.


This vase was found in the clearance section at Marshall's. It was under 5 dollars and love the speckled mirrored finish. Very chic touch to the white fake flowers I'm going to keep in here! 



Another thing I got from Marshall's was this kaleidoscope. I thought is would make a nice piece on my bookshelf standing up or laid down. Plus, its also fun! Reminds me of my childhood. I tried to take a picture of the inside for you guys! 

Next, I have this Bath and Body Works candle holder. I mean is has a flower on the top! How could I possibly resist?

This beautiful mug (Its too big to be a teacup!) is something I got at Pier 1 just yesterday! I loved the colors on it and it's just too pretty! The Pier 1 by my apartment is closing and they had a ton of sales. I got this little guy for only 2 dollars! Score!

Last, I wanted to share this gorgeous frame I got from TJ Maxx. This frame has the most beautiful border I have ever seen! Plus, its huge! It can easily hold an 8 by 10 picture. It was a steal for under $10. I totally recommend checking out TJ Maxx or Marshall's for frames! They are always unique and inexpensive.

Well, that's all for today!

Wal-Mart Candles?

I know that everyone and their mother raves about the Bath and Body Works candles! While I do admit I like them just as much as the next girl, I do believe they are a bit overpriced for your average candle. I love buying my candles from... Wal-Mart! Trust me, if you want amazing-smelling, inexpensive candles then you will want to keep reading!
 I was running a bit low on candles yesterday so I decided to make a run to Wal-Mart and these 3 were the ones I decided to pick up! Peach & Mango, Cranberry Mandarin and Caribbean Retreat. My favorite has to be the Cranberry Mandarin scent, this is my second time getting it. They all smell sooo good! I have to admit, I'm obsessed. As for the price? You won't believe it! The two candles at the end are a dollar each and the middle one was only $2! They are a little small, but you can choose to pick up the bigger ones comparable to the Bath and Body Works ones for less than $5! You really can't lose!

This is a candle I got from Big Lots recently, and I just love that it's in a mason jar! So cute!!
