NOTD: Fall At Its Finest

Burgundy is always a hot color for autumn, so this season appropriate color was naturally my first color pick when I decided my chipped, pink nails were long overdue for a makeover. And gold is a nice accent color, so why not?

Current Obsession: Oversized Sweaters

Hello my sweet sun rays,

Since summer's slowly dwindling away into cool autumn breezes, it's near time to bust out the sweaters and jackets! Personally, autumn and winter are some of my favorite months. Just the thoughts of  cozy sweaters, fireplaces and hot cocoa... Yum. Though I will dearly miss the long summer nights, one thing I'm truly anticipating is wearing oversized sweaters!

To me, oversized sweaters just make the world go round. It's like wearing a giant, cozy blanket everywhere! I just... Can't. There are no words to describe the joy that I get from oversized sweaters. 

Anyways, oversized sweaters can be hard to style sometimes because of their bulkiness and lack of shape. But using their textures and proportions against other pieces of clothing can create a comfy chic look.

Golden Globes Beauty Trend: Smokey Eyes and Sleek Waves

When I watched the Golden Globes last night, I was drooling over the gorgeous dresses and oh Lord, their hair. But something I saw pop up pretty often was the retro waves, that have made a comeback, and smokey eyes, an essential look that pops up everywhere.

Oh, and I totally knew Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman would totally win for Les Mis. Wasn't it obvious? X3

Congrats to Claire Danes and the producers of Homeland for winning a slew of awards. They always do. Her smokey eye is just a simple ring of black eyeliner, smoked out with a dark eggplant on the top lid.

I loved Julianne Hough's whole look. Her golden smokey eye is just one thing that totally completes her look. If she wore her dress/makeup any different, she wouldn't have been able to pull her pompadour-esque hair off, at all.
