studded starry night
Two outfit inspiration posts in a row. Blame it on a work week filled with dinners, meet ups, and our annual corporate meeting. I finally had a night to recoup and work on a few bracelets & catch up on my favorite guilty pleasure, Revenge. Thankfully, I'll finally be able to spend some quality time with my main squeeze Friday night for a dinner date. This maroon studded number would fit the bill just right. Thank you, Miss Rebecca Taylor for your gorgeous designs.

leather loving
I picked up my first leather jacket my senior year of college. It was out of character for me, but honestly, it was one of the best purchases I've ever made. When you are headed out for a night on the town, no one wants to lug around a heavy jacket - no matter how cold it is outside. Throw a fur stole on and grab a poppy-colored clutch & your set to battle those cool fall nights.

october birchbox review
For months now I've been seeing birchbox pop on many blogs I follow. I loved seeing what they received, a special treat to look forward to at the beginning of every month. I finally caved and decided to sign myself up for the monthly service. For only $10/month birchbox will delivery you deluxe beauty samples straight to your mailbox. Every person receives something a little different, and they always add a little extra something-special.
Befine - lip serum - vitamin-rich lip serum heals and smooths cracked or dry lips.
blinc - mascara - this tubing mascara won't smudge, or run - plus it gives lashes a sassy, extra glossy look
Pangea Organics - Japanese matcha tea facial mask - this mask does it all: purifies, exfoliates, balances, and hydrates. use once a week.
Orofludio - beauty elixir - hair treatment with a trio of nourishing essential oils (argan, linseed, cyperus) with an intoxicating vanilla amber scent
EXTRA - tea forte - minteas - tasty mints with energizing yerba mate and rich cocoa
My favorite product of this month's box is the Befine serum. I am constantly reaching for my chap-stick and with this, I found it instantly softened and soothed my lips, also added a bit of gloss.

oktoberfest
Instead of doing laundry and picking up my bedroom; whenever I find myself with an hour or two to spare, I end up browsing tumblr & Pinterest. Cooling temperatures and the promise of Halloween around the corner set October up for what is always my favorite time of the year. These photos capture the essence of what I love about fall. Just look at these amazing spaces; just makes me want to skip work, curl up with a bowl of popcorn and watch Hocus Pocus, & spend quality time wining & dining with the people I love.
Glitter pumpkins?! I die. I spy a DIY in my future.

cart me around
After months of coveting each and every single bar cart I came across {I have my own board on Pinterest dedicated mostly to bar carts, let's be real, it's more of an obsession}, I finally have one of my own. With a little love and spray paint, it's finally ready to be put to use! I found this vintage beauty on Etsy for $80 {such a steal compared to most, which I found ranged $100-$800(!)} Can't wait to find accessories to style it up! Stay tuned next week for a how-to post & more inspiration photos on how I plan to style this cart!
