Two items I think everybody needs to have in the wardrobe for the fall are a good trench coat and a pair of rain boots. My trench coat is currently sold out in the khaki color, but it is still available in navy, white, and black! I picked one with a hood because I wanted it to be more convenient for traveling. However, if you want one without a hood, this is a great option and it is currently 33% off!
If you have been a long-time reader of the blog, then my love for Hunter boots is no surprise. They were one of my first "treats" to myself after starting a full time job and I am so glad I made the investment! I wear them all the time in the rain, but also in the snow. If you have Hunters, then you need to get the Boot Buffer Spray. It's the easiest thing to use to keep your boots clean.
When I was getting dressed for a day of errands, I knew I wanted to be comfy so I reached for this top from Pure Hearts Boutique. This top is slightly over sized so it seriously feels like you are wearing pajamas while in it. It was striped (my fave!) and under $30 so I knew I had to have it. I wore a similar outfit with this top while traveling to Minneapolis a couple weekends ago and it was the perfect airplane outfit! If you are looking for a new boutique to shop at, I highly recommend you look into Pure Hearts Boutique!
P.S. If you follow me on Instagram, then you got to see a sneak peek of this outfit! Make sure you are following along so you don't miss anything!

I was recently sent an eight in one curling wand set from Irresistible Me and am completely in love with it! Today I am sharing with you all how I use the wand to curl my hair.
The Irresistible Me set comes with eight different wand types. It all comes in a heat proof pouch for easy storing. One of my favorite things about the wand is that it automatically shuts off after it is on for awhile. This is great for me because whenever I leave the house I always have to double check that I've unplugged my tools! I'm very paranoid about leaving something turned on, so I love this feature.
The curling wand heats up within 20 seconds which makes getting ready super quick. The set also comes with a heat glove. I've never used one before, but I was surprised to see how much quicker I was able to do my hair with it. I section off my hair and spray it with a heat protectant before starting. I wrap my hair away from the face and hold it there for about 10 seconds.
I will continue wrapping the entire bottom section of my hair before moving on to the next section. I wrap the hair that frames my face away from my face, as mentioned above. However, once I am back further into the pieces I will alternate the direction of each curl to achieve a more natural look.
Once the bottom section of my hair is done, I will move onto another section of hair. I hold each curl for about 10 seconds to achieve tighter curls. However, if I want looser waves I will only hold it for about 3-5 seconds. That is how I did my hair in this post.
After I release each curl from the wand, I will catch it in my hand and hold it before letting it fall.
Once I am done with all of my hair, I will spray it with a hairspray and I'm ready to go! I like to leave my curls tight, because I know they will fall as the night goes on. For these pictures, I was getting ready for a wedding that was 40 minutes away from our house. I knew they would fall before the wedding started. If these are too tight for your preference, or if you don't have time to wait, I would recommend finger combing through your hair once done. Another option is to lightly pull on each curl after you release it from the wand to achieve a looser look.
I also love this wand because the curls really hold. Even after sleeping, my curls were still in tact and I was able to just leave them for the next day.
Additionally, I am impressed with how quickly I am able to do my hair with it. I always listen to music while getting ready, and it only takes me two songs to do my whole head! (Am I the only person who judges how long it takes to get ready, shower, etc. based off the number of songs that play haha?!) If you are in the market for a new wand, I highly recommend you look into the Irresistible Me Sapphire 8 in 1 Complete Curling Wand.

Happy Friday! This weekend one of my good friends from college is getting married. I am so excited for her and cannot wait to celebrate! We are also going to be glued to the TV watching the Royals take on Toronto in the ALCS. It is going to be a busy weekend!
If you follow me on Instagram, then you got to see a sneak peek of this outfit yesterday. I wore this to explore Minneapolis during our trip there. It was perfect for exploring with the layers! If you don't have a blanket scarf yet, you definitely need one. They are super cute and cozy, but also come in so handy while traveling! Their size makes them so useful if you are on a cold flight!
I recently uplaoded a new YouTube video sharing a recap of our trip! Check it out below. I would love if you would click into the video and give it a thumbs up! It really helps with my search results : ).

You may recognize this shift dress from this post back in the summer. I picked this dress up during the Nordstrom anniversary sale and could not wait to wear it! It is great on it's own during the warmer months, but I was excited to be able to layer it for the cooler temperatures we've been experiencing recently! During the sale, they only had it in stock in three colors. It sold out so quickly that they've brought it back in even more colors now! It is now available in five colors, you can shop it here.
I have been in love with faux fur vests for the past two years, and that is not changing this year! They are such a great piece to have in your wardrobe. I have two myself (the other one is black). They are a perfect layering piece and add such an element of interest to an outfit! My exact one is from a boutique back in 2013, but I really like this one! I'm currently looking for a cute grey one, so if you have seen one let me know in the comments!
