10 Books to Read in 2020
You know I love me some book time! Not a day goes by that I don’t start and end my day with a book. So, here are some of my favorite books I read last year that will (hopefully) blow your mind! More Than Enough by Elaine Welteroth This! This damn book! We already know Elaine Welteroth is a powerhouse with her long resume of accomplishments at the age of 33. She was the first African-American woman to be the beauty director of Teen Vogue and then the youngest ever editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue at age 29. She wrote this memoir and who writes a memoir in their 30s? Elaine…
Prep Upstate New York Style
This is probably one of my favorite outfits I’ve worn this fall. I love this prep upstate New York vibe. It’s really been my happy place this season as I’ve embraced living in the Hudson Valley and it has hella suited me. We begin with my favorite headband set. I can’t say enough good things about these. It’s only $12.99 for a set of four and the colors are literally perfect for fall and winter. Lots of deep tones with the velvet…fabulous! Of course, my favorite $2 earrings. Honestly, you would think a pair of $2 earrings would last only a few wears, but I wear these multiple times a…
Lazy Staples
If this look isn’t the most telling of what my favorite things are, then I don’t know what is. It literally has four pieces and I can basically guarantee I’ve worn this outfit at least once a week this season when I’m feeling lazy. Yes, ye olde white sweater. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the girl is comfy. That’s it, guys. It’s the coziest thing I own and I wouldn’t be mad if you bury me in it, just as long as you tuck it into my pants because it’s oversized and I want some shape in my afterlife. On to my favorite jeans from American…
Cozy Fall Outfit
Yesss it’s one of my favorite headbands! To be honest, it’s a total knockoff of a Jennifer Behr headband, of which I’m not even close to being able to afford, so this is a great alternative for me. It’s beautiful and under $10. It’s currently out of stock, but will be back in stock on October 31st. You can still buy now though! These earrings are also sold out, but I expect there will be a restock as I bought them pretty recently. Tab this if you like them and check back. I want to give a special mention to my makeup products this time as I love how my…
My New Favorite Sweater
Guys, this is a big mood for me because this sweater has been one of my all-time favorite purchases of the year. During fashion week, I attended an exclusive Eloquii event and got to do a little shopping while I was there. I’m obviously shopping all the time because I need pieces to shoot for my blog and content for Instagram, but it’s a true rarity that I a) shop in store and b) shop without work in mind. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love shopping for work, but I’m always thinking about a bigger picture like what people will want to buy or what will photograph well. For…
