Stylish Sundays: Burgundy and Chelsea Boots

Have I mentioned before how much I love Autumn? Because I really and truly adore Autumn. October is my favorite month, and this year the weather has been perfect. But the best part of Autumn is the clothes. I love Chelsea Boots, and Sweaters.

Sweater: Aeropostale, Jeggings: Aeropostale, Chelsea Boots: H&M, Bag: Kate Spade

I wore this to the Library last week. I have to say I’m really pleasantly surprised with Aeropostale’s clothing since they revamped themselves. These Jeggings are amazingly comfortable and I adore this sweater.

On My Face: Nars Tinted Moisturizer, Hourglass Hidden Concealer, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush, Maybelline The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette, Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant Mascara, Revlon Matte Balm In Shameless.

On My Nails: Maybelline Color Show A Walk In The Park, I can’t tell you how surprised I am with this polish. I wore it over a week, with no chips. More about the polish here.

I am absolutely obsessed with this lip color. I had just patted it on my lips lightly with my finger this day, but I wore it full on, on my birthday and I adore it that way too. It’s seriously probably the only color I’ve been wearing.

I’ve had this necklace so long that I don’t know where it’s from anymore. And I definitely don’t wear it enough for as much as I actually use the word Adore.

But my favorite part of this outfit was my boots. I’m completely obsessed with them. They’re so comfortable and they’re the only shoes I want to wear. And I have a lot of shoes. I definitely intend to get a plain black pair of Chelsea boots because they’re the most perfect boots ever made.

What’s your favorite thing about Autumn?

Stylish Sundays: 28th

It was my 28th birthday this past Thursday, and I adored my outfit and makeup. The first photo probably isn’t my favorite ever take of me, but the other full shot was a bit too Jessica Rabbit for this blog.

Sweater Dress: Maurices, Tights: Hue, Chelsea Boots: Asos, Necklace: Gift

I absolutely loved this dress. It fit amazing, and it had elbow patches, which I’m obsessed with.

On My Nails: Maybelline Color Show A Walk In The Park. I was pleasantly surprised by this polish and am looking forward to picking up a few more. You can learn more about the Colorshow polishes color range and where to get it here

On My Face: Nars Tinted Moisturizer, Hourglass Hidden Concealer, Maybelline The Nude’s Eyeshadow Palette, Rimmel Scandaleyes Black Eyeliner, Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant Mascara, The Balm Hot Mama Blush, Nars Deep Throat Blush, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter, Revlon Matte Balm in Shameless, Victoria’s Secret Violet Femme Lipgloss

I still adore these boots. I swear I’m going to wear them until all the studs fall off. They’re so comfortable.

And to include a little mini birthday haul. I’ve already shown this on instagram, twitter and facebook, but I figured why not here as well.

Clockwise from bottom left: Tim Minchin So Fucking Rock Tee from my son, Nightmares by Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller, The Last Werewolf by Glenn Duncan and H&M Chelsea Boots all from my husband. Not Pictured, because they’re on iTunes, the 3 Tim Minchin Albums (So Fucking Rock Live, Ready For This Live and Tim Minchin and the Heritage Orchestra Live as well as the singles for Drowned and The Fence) that my parents and I got for myself. It was a pretty great birthday, I had an ice cream cake that had sugar spiders on it because they were adorable and we went to a local Mexican restaurant where I had some awesome fajitas and then chilled at home.

What’s been the best birthday gift you’ve ever gotten?

Stylish Sundays: Found

I did a post recently called Finding Me, and I mentioned that I had made some changes to my blog. I feel like at some point I pushed myself aside and tried to simultaneously be me and mainstream. It didn’t work. Instead I felt like a hot mess and had a major existential crisis. I didn’t like who I was, how I was dressing, what I was reading and who I was turning myself into. I felt like I lost my edge. That little bit that made me feel like a bad ass when I got up in the morning. The bit of myself that made me want to get up in the morning. I’m working hard to get that bit back. And soon I’ll be announcing something new.

Top: Ann Taylor, Pants: H&M, Shoes: Asos, Necklace: Gift

This outfit feels like me

This was taken at the end of the day, and my makeup was absolutely wrecked. But I’m wearing Nars Sheer Glow Foundation, Hourglass Blush, Marc Jacobs The Lolita Palette, Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant Mascara, YSL Lip Gloss in Grenade Peptide.

I adore this pen necklace. It’s amazing, and it works, which is even better.

And this nail polish is definitely an amazing color for Autumn. It’s Lancome’s Flirty Red and it was from their Christmas Collection last year so I don’t think it’s available anymore, but it’s a gorgeous blackened red that makes me feel amazing.

Which brings me to my shoes. I can’t even with how much I adore these shoes. I got them forever ago, and I adore them.

What do you do when you feel like you’ve lost your edge? Have you ever been through that?

Blogmas Day 23: Holiday Party

I promised you guys an outfit post today and only just discovered that my scheduled post never uploaded. The one time I’m on the ball and I still wreck it by not paying attention.

I know I do a lot of wish board what to wear for x occasion posts, so I decided yesterday to actual put my money where my mouth is and show you an outfit I actually have and would wear for a Christmas Party.

Outfit: Sweater- Macy’s, Pants- H&M, Shoes- Asos

This first picture looks super awkward. These pants used to be super tight on me, like they’re meant to be, but I’ve lost some weight, and I swear they didn’t look this baggy in person. But I do still love these pants and will be a little sad when I have to retire them completely. Also the awkward expression is because it was freezing cold.

On my face my usual makeup: Nars Sheer Glow, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, Nars Deep Throat, Benefit Watts Up, Benefit Leggy Eyeshadow, Urban Decay Bourbon Eyeliner, YSL Babydoll Mascara, YSL Succulent Pomegrante Sheer Volupte Candy Glossy Balm.

I actually bought that YSL Glossy Balm to be my Summer color, but I find that I’m really loving it right now, it feels amazing on my lips and stains my lips a bit so the color lasts a really long time. Plus it looks gorgeous.

I adore these shoes, My husband got me them as a surprise anniversary gift and they make me super happy every time I wear them. I had been wanting a pair of Chelsea boots for so long and was so excited to get these. I kinda really want to get another pair soon.

I’d probably wear this outfit to a casual party with friends and family. It’s simple but still looks nice, the only thing I’d change is I’d wear some pants that fit, since these are a cross between trousers and leggings.

Stylish Sundays: Plaid Leaves

I’ve been sick for a little over a week, which means I’ve been wearing lounge wear since my last outfit post. So when I woke up on Saturday and it was crisp and I was feeling a bit better, I decided that proper clothes were in order and I pulled out my favorite skirt.

I’m wearing a White Oxford from Gap, Camel Tie Back Sweater from Loft, Plaid Leather Trimmed Skirt from The Limited, Hue Black Tights and Studded Asos Booties.

For my Jewelry I only wore my Kate Spade Gumdrop Earrings.

On My Face: Nars Sheer Glow in Siberia, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla, Nars Blush in Deep Throat, various Lancome Eye Shadows, Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Bourbon, Benefit Watts Up, Benefit They’re Real, Lancome Rouge In Love Lipstick in Madame Tulip.

I adore these booties, they’re probably my favorite shoes ever, and they’re so comfortable.

Here’s Howl looking quite dapper in his hoodie. I love him in little shirts and things like that, but this is one of my favorites, next to his raincoat which is just plain adorable.

Since this post is going up late, I’ve decided to include some of the better outtakes, because we all know I don’t look this fabulous on the first try.

and I’ll end on an adorable outtake, Howl blinking during his close up:
