Layers of Leopard

I'm always into layering, especially when its cold! It's a put together look that keeps you warm! I'm particularly obsessed with vests, whether they're printed or solid like this one.

Do you know of any inexpensive puffer vests besides Old Navy and Kohls? I want to add to my collection with pieces under $40. Let me know in the comments!

Emerald, White, & Blue

Outfit of the day taken inside for a change! It's too snowy to take them outside, imagine that! So I would be wearing my Hunters, but they were still wet from the snow! Don't mind my hair... it was windy! I didn't have school yesterday for the holiday and today I had a delay! Good start to my week!

Splash of Spring

Even though we are far from it, today I wore a springy dress. With the snow nearly gone, I felt that a dress was in order! Since it's not quite warm enough yet, I went with a pair of knee socks. I've actually been loving them this winter!

Dots & Collars

I'm so glad to be back to school. It's already packed with homework and upcoming tests, but I actually don't mind... yet. At least the snow is gone for a while!

Winter Skin Care

Harsh cold is never good for your skin! Here are the products that I use during the winter to calm dry, flaky skin!

1. I always start out using makeup remover wipes just to remove eye and face makeup effortlessly. I personally like generic  store brand wipes like these up and up ones from Target. They are super cheap, get the job done, and don't irritate my skin.



2. Next, I wash my face using this Noxema Cleansing Cream. IT DOES HAVE AN UNPLEASANT SMELL, but it isn't drying! I have normal skin, so i don't need anything that treats oily skin as many cleansers do.

3. During the winter, I use this toner by Clinque for dry combination skin. Like I said before, my skin isn't necessarily oily or dry, but this is great for the cold winter months!

4. MOISTURIZER. This is critical when it's cold! I'm honestly obsessed with this one from Lush. I know that it's expensive, but I've never found a better one! It makes your skin feel so smooth and nearly removes flaky areas right away! It doesn't make me break out either... I think it actually has cleared up my skin! Let me know if you've found a comparable product in the comments!
5. Along with moisturizer, body lotion should be a product that you reach for everyday. While I love my seasonal scented body lotions, I try to use something more natural this time of the year like this one from Lush. It is said to be vanilla scented, but I would describe it to be a chocolaty.


6. The most important thing for general skin care for me is chapstick! I use it so much, it's a problem! The Peppermint Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm is my favorite! It leaves your lips tingly from the mint while hydrating them! You can feel it working!



What skin care products have you been loving this season?

Cold Weather Books

If you're stuck inside from all of this cold weather, why not pick up a book? You can only watch so many Netflix movies and Friends reruns. (Yeah right). So I thought that I would list a few books that are quick reads! I linked each book to Goodreads, a great website that includes a brief summary of each novel and reviews from readers!

1. Divergent - Veronica Roth (I read the entire book yesterday.)

2. The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini  

3. Tuesdays With Morrie - Mitch Albom 

4. The Giver - Lois Lowry (They're making a movie of this and my favorite person, Taylor Swift, has a minor role in it.)

5. Night Shift - Stephen King  

What are some of your favorite books that you've recently read?
