Weekend Style: Hanes off Duty

rag-and-bone-boyfriend-jeans

I know it’s probably a sign that the world is coming to an end when we’re hitting mid-60 degree weather in December but it’s hard not to be all smiles about how beautiful it is out. When I’m not running around to events I’m all about comfort clothing. A sweatshirt, some boyfriend jeans and a pair comfortable boots is the sign of a good weekend. I’m actually pretty obsessed with these Amos by Leila Stone boots. I’ve been looking for a pair of wine colored boots for a while and I got these during fashion week from ShoeDazzle. They are a pleather lace-up Oxford bootie so they can get totally rained on without an ounce of damage.

Classic and Modern Holiday Makeup Inspiration


Thank you to Target for sponsoring this post!

target-#3

Nothing excites me like the holidays; it’s the best time of the year to indulge in some serious shimmer and break out the festive reds! To celebrate the season, I’m partnering with Target to create a modern and classic beauty look that’s easy to recreate.

There isn’t anything more classic then a red lip for the holidays. Add in some beach waves for that perfect tousled hair and a winged black liner, and you have a timeless look.

To recreate the look, I started by applying e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer, followed by Covergirl Outlast Stay Luminous natural glow foundation to even out my skin tone. From there, I used the bronzers from the Pixi Contour Kit (bottom row; I mixed the two shades, but you can use one or the other depending on your skin tone) on my cheekbones, followed by the W3LL People Bio Brightener Stick for an added glow above the contour. I then applied the brightening powder from the Pixi Contour Kit (top row) to set the brightener and blend it with the bronzer. For a more intense highlight, stop after the Bio Brightener.

Taking on winter with DSW and Sorel

joan-of-arctic-sorel-snow-boot

It’s the holiday season and time to deck the halls and update your shoe closet for all that’s to come. Whatever the occasion DSW has every shoe and boot you’ll need this holiday season from top brands at great prices. From boots to booties to sparkle pumps — whether it’s a last minute holiday party or there’s a snowstorm on the horizon — DSW has everything you need to stay festive, on trend and most importantly warm this holiday season.

Sorel-Joan-of-Arctic

If growing up in Boston and moving to New York taught me one thing it’s that investing in a pair of winter boots is a necessity. Especially if you factor in how crazy these past two winters have been! Whether it’s a gift for yourself or someone you care about this holiday season, nothing says I love you like your feet won’t freeze to death this winter.

While different styles come and go the Sorel Joan of Arctic Snow Boot has been a favorite of mine and it’s a classic that never goes out of style. They make trudging through the snow fun and are indestructible. This isn’t a boot that will fall apart on you after one season but rather a great investment you’ll enjoy for years to come.
