My girl Autumn… pt. 3

What better way to end this Autumn series post than with two cool and casual jackets. I know that many people up north do not like the winter, and I am one of them, but during Autumn you can play around with layering. A suggestion would be to maybe a wear a chunky sweater for extra warmth and a moto jacket or if you’d prefer a longer jacket for those chilly nights, a mid-length one would serve its purpose at keeping a larger portion of your body warm. So without further adieu I will present my two current favorite jackets, I also created an actual outfit, pairing them up with some of my other Autumn go to pieces.

Faux Leather Jacket H&M Plus Size

Faux Leather Moto Jacket H&M Plus Size

Woven Jacket with quilted faux leather sleeves from H&M Plus Size

Now what I love about these is that they aren’t too bulky or heavy but are warm enough once these NYC temperatures start to drop.

My girl Autumn… pt 2

Hey Everyone I’m Back! Part two of the “My girl Autumn” series is Fall nail polish. What better and might I add easy way to dive into the new season than by adding some cool hues to your hands and toes, it’s like an instant pick me up!(well for me it is anyway). This season it is all about metallics, dark navy’s and bold berry’s. Here are my top five must have picks.

From Left to right: Sally Hansen "Teal-y Fast" & "Shoot the Moon", Revlon "Rich Raspberry", Essie "For the twill of it" & "No more film

From Left to right: Sally Hansen “Teal-y Fast” & “Shoot the Moon”, Revlon “Rich Raspberry”, Essie “For the twill of it” & “No more film

“Teal-y fast” is an amazing teal with lots of shimmer that reflects beautifully in sunlight.
“Shoot the moon” has a graphite look to it thanks to the smooth metallic particles in pewter and gold which also reflect amazingly in direct light.
“Rich Raspberry” is described perfectly, as it has a true berry “richness” to it.
“For the twill of it” is a multi chromed metallic which gives off pops of teal and purple, it is such a gorgeous color!
“No more film” has more of a creamy texture and it is a deep blue-ish violet.

What’s great about nail polishes is that there is no need to worry about sizing or a right fit, find a great color, layer it on and you’re pretty much set!
You can find these as well as other colors at your local Walmart or drugstore. Ulta is also great at carrying the most current colors.

Stay tuned for my last post in the My girl Autumn series… here’s a hint: This item will give you an edge while keeping you warm.

Nume Magic Wand

Hey Everyone! It’s been way too long! The end of summer has approached NYC and I am so sad about it. I always think summer will be a relaxing time, but it never really is with all the traveling, parties, BBQ’s, picnics (I am not complaining) but being busy with life kept me away from blogging as often as I should, I know, I know my sister already lectured me on this, So sorry guys!

In other news I racked up some pretty awesome stuff over the last few weeks and I am super excited to share them with you! I will first start off with the very popular Nume magic curling wand. I ordered the 25mm barrel which I would describe as the “medium” sized one. I was looking to create “beachy waves” which is why I chose that size (The 32mm wouldn’t have much of an effect on my thin hair where as the 19mm would have given me tighter curls). Beachy waves are an awesome summer look which can also transition to any other time of the year. Check out how I created the wavy look down below.

I curled all of my hair, once I was finished I opened up the curls to create the wavy look I was going for

I am so happy with my Nume purchase! I also want to mention that my waves remained in tact the next morning as well, I just added some texturizing balm, hairspray and ran out the door! Fine haired girls can have awesome hair too!

Mac Cosmetics “Ririwoo”

You’re like Jordans on a saturday, I gotta have you and I cannot wait now….

Or in my case I waited four hours!

So I may be late to jump on the bandwagon but I recently had the joy of waiting to buy Rihanna’s debut lipstick through MAC Cosmetics. I logged in faithfully at noon EST (when the launch started) and patiently watched as it took forever to load. I was at work and left the browser open as I continued on with my day. I left for lunch one hour later and almost gave up the cause but thought to myself “maybe I should stick this thing out” and if it was meant to be it would still be up when I came back. Here comes 3:50 and it’s almost time for me to clock out for the day and finally my order went through! Four hours waiting for a lipstick! Us females are seriously deranged and makeup crazed! I received it about a week later and I must say it was worth the wait and every penny! I’m actually upset I didn’t buy two! For starters I don’t own “ruby woo” which is the hue this one is based on but I love the fact that it looks so amazing on basically every skin tone. One of the major down sides to the original ruby woo is the “drying” or tight feeling it gives your lips (so I’ve heard). In swoops Riri-Woo! It’s such a similar color, with a slight hint of more moisture (in my opinion). It still doesn’t glide on as a normal lipstick would but its to be expected with such a matte color. This retro tint somehow looks perfect on so many skin tones and I love it as a new addition to my collection!

Besitos!

If you didn’t jump on it, she is going to launch other items through MAC all throughout this summer. Im sure someone must be selling them on sites like eBay & amazon as well.

Love love this red!
