January Favorites

1. J.Crew Garnet Flame Plaid Shirt: I first saw this shirt in one 

of SarahBelle’s videos and I immediately fell in love with it! 

I’ve worn it soo much since it came in the mail. They may have 

a few still in stock in local stores, but they’ve been sold out online 

for a while now.

2 & 3. J.Crew Turtlenecks: Turtlenecks have been my go

 to this winter since its been so freakin cold! Spring really 

can not come fast enough this year. I love to layer these 

turtlenecks since they’re so thin. They really keep your neck 

warm, especially if you don’t want to wear a huge scarf. 

They’re super cheap now too- I highly recommend!

4. Nars Smudge Proof Eye Shadow Base

HOLY GRAIL. This is by far hands down the best primer 

around (and the only one I’ve ever tried…) I have REALLY 

oily skin and I hated wearing eye shadow ’cause it would crease 

within the hour of me putting it on and it would just look 

bad. My co-worker introduced me to eye primer (’cause, lets 

face it, I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to 

make up) and I have been OBSESSED ever since. 

The last time I wore this stuff, I went 8 hours without 

my eye shadow creasing- 8 HOURS! That’s pretty awesome 

in my book!

If you have oily skin and a problem with creasing eye shadow 

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this stuff! I got it for $20-25, 

which yeah, is kinda pricy, but a little bit goes a long way, and 

it’s the most miraculous product I’ve ever used. Now after a 

review like that, how can you not go check it out?!

5. Julep Cleopatra: A matte black nail polish. 

It seriously looks amazing on! My only complaint

 is that it loses its matte finish after a few days. I usually keep

 my nail polish on for 5-7 days and it starts to get shiny 

by day 3 or 4. If you’re someone who changes their nail 

polish like you change your underwear

 (which I would hope would be everyday…) then 

you wouldn’t have this problem. The color is super 

rich and the coverage is great (with 2 coats), it looks 

like satin on your nails- AH-mazing.

6. Nordstrom Utility Vest: If you’ve been following 

this little blog of mine, you know that I am OBSESSED

 with this vest! Although I got mine for Christmas

 (Thanks Boyfriend!!)  I know it will transition very 

well to spring and even summer! Can’t wait to ear this 

puppy all year round! They’re sold out of this one online

 and I do not know if stores still carry it but there are a 

few similar options HERE & HERE.

7. Kettle Corn: Random food item. Every single 

night after dinner I have a heaping bowl of 

this stuff. Everyday I pretty much look forward

 to finishing dinner so I can have some.  

Nutritionally speaking, it’s just sugar coated

 popcorn, I think theres something like 7 grams

 of sugar per cup serving (don’t quote me)

 which really isn’t that bad. 

I can’t see getting sick of it anytime soon!

8. Pave Link Bracelet: I know I’m kinda late

 to the bandwagon on this one, but I’m so glad 

I purchased this bracelet! When I got it in the 

mail I couldn’t believe how sparkly it was! Pictures 

really don’t do it justice, ya gotta see the sparklie

s in person- which means ya gotta buy the bracelet šŸ˜‰

9. Linley Bracelet: Gah! Another sparkler!

 I’ve seriously worn this baby non stop since 

Mindy Mae’s Market sent it over! 

It goes with everything and it’s just perfect. 

The quality is phenomenal and its just so pretty!

10 & 11. Nyx Butter Gloss (Eclair & Devils Food Cake): 

So I was never really a big make up girl, but I’m getting 

more into it! I’ve seen a bunch of amazing reviews 

on YouTube for Nyx Butter Gloss, so I ordered from 

Ulta when they were buy one get one half off (i think). 

I tried them for the first time the other day and 

I can see why everyone gave them such rave reviews! 

Super soft on your lips and they smell SO good! 

I ordered the darkest color (devils food cake) 

’cause, well, why not- YOLO! (don’t worry I’ll never 

do that again…) and the lighter shade (eclair) which 

reminds me of a nude-ish color, and I’ve been on 

the hunt for a good light gloss. I really love them. 

Definitely try them out if you get the chance!

12. Fleece Lined Leggins: What can I say that 

I haven’t already said about the most comfortable

 leggings n the whole wide world. 

I got mine at jane.com and I jusr ordered 

2 more pairs from Groopdealz, so if thats 

any indication of how much I love them… 

I wear them all the time, but I’m kind of getting

 sick of washing them every-other-day just so I 

can wear them again (hence my reason for re-buying!)

SIMILAR HERE, HERE, HERE, & HERE.

13. Naturalizer ‘Jersey’ Boot: Worn these 

almost everyday, as I’m sure you’ve noticed 

#sorrynotsorry šŸ™‚ They fit my calves perfectly in 

skinny jeans and in leggings, and they’re warmer 

than I was expecting! They’re also super comfy, 

and I think you can get them in the Naturalizer 

outlets if your close to one for cheap!

14. Cover Girl 3 in 1 Stay Fabulous Foundation

Best drugstore foundation around. Has amazing

 coverage (you still need to use spot treatment 

on blemishes though) and does not get cakey. 

I’ve been using this for the past couple 

of weeks and I dont break out from it – which 

is awesome- and I love the way it looks on my skin! 

If your on the market for a new foundation 

I HIGHLY recommend this one, 

especially if you don’t want to break the bank!

15. J.Crew Jeweled Sweatshirt: It’s cold, folks, and 

what’s better when it’s cold than wearing a sweatshirt? 

Oh you can’t wear sweatshirts to work? Problem solved! 

A jeweled sweatshirt is perfect for the office (I’ve only 

worn mine to work so far) ! I love the colors of the 

jewels in this one, AND it’s still available online!
