Another October in the books! I just love October. I also love this month's favorites!
- Yoga pants: I got these Target yoga pants last year and I've been loving wearing them again this fall. They're SO soft and stretchy and super high-waisted. I have the chocolate brown but they come in a few more colors. True to size, I take the small.
- Queen Cosmetics lip gloss in Astral Projection: This is THE most amazing glitter lip gloss I've ever used! It's so densely glittery that I usually just dot it on and diffuse it with another gloss on top. I've mentioned it before, but I had to feature it again because I just noticed that the brand is available at Ulta now!! I've always ordered it from TikTok Shop, so it's nice to know that it's more widely available now.
- Drop earrings: I loooove sparkly jewelry, especially as we approach the holiday season. I had to highlight this earring set from one of my favorite costume jewelry brands because it's BEYOND gorgeous and currently over 50% off - the stones seriously look like real diamonds!
- Fleece pullover: I've been wearing this fleece pullover all month! It's sold out but I'm linking it anyway in case you want to sign up for restock notifications.
- Ellis Brooklyn Aprés: This is the only perfume I have that I would categorize as a true "winter" perfume. I've been using travel sizes the past few years but just got a great deal on a full size one so I've been using it a lot this month. It smells like a snow day! Very cedary and a little boozy - the notes are juniper berries, bourbon, and cedarwood.
- Cranberry Fizz Poppi: I discovered this last year at the end of the season when it was too late to stock up, but recently saw it at Costco so I grabbed a case! It's like a "healthy" version of the seasonal cranberry ginger ale.
- Plaid cape: I've already gotten so much wear out of this cape this season - I styled it in this post! It's the perfect cozy layer that easily dresses up a casual outfit.
- Silk sleep mask: I've been using this sleep mask for years and I have a few that I rotate between. I ordered a new one and was a little annoyed when it came in because it had padding in it that my other ones don't have! I ended up LOVING it because the padding cups around your eyes so it provides maximum light blockage without putting pressure on your eyes. They still sell the original version I love, so I don't know why I was sent the new one when I clicked "repurchase" on Amazon. The original one without the padding is the "Black_original" colorway, and the padded one is the "Black" colorway.
- OPI Chick Flick Cherry: This has been my nail color of the month and it's a favorite - the perfect deep red that's not quite burgundy.
- Purple wig: How's this for a wildcard favorite? 😂 I got this purple wig a few years ago to wear to JMU football games and it's a hit every season! You can get them in tons of different colors to match your team, so they're the perfect game day accessory.
- The Life Of A Showgirl: As always, Taylor's new new album has garnered a lot of buzz, but I've seen many more negative opinions than I think is fair! I personally love the album - I was holding my breath that it would be more upbeat than her recent albums, because Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights were all fairly boring to me when they came out (although I really enjoy them in retrospect), and then The Tortured Poets Department was the final straw. 😂 I found it SO boring and I haven't even listened to the full extended version. My overall music listening habits really only include upbeat songs - I can appreciate slow songs, I just don't listen to them often, so I was SO excited to hear the new album was more my taste in that regard. My favorite song is Honey, and I really like all of the others besides Eldest Daughter, which I probably will not listen to much for aforementioned reasons.
- Watching: For the first time in a long time, I have lots of shows to mention this month! Kenny and I have been watching Treme which follows several characters (some fictional, some playing themselves) as they navigate life in New Orleans post-Katrina. On the comedy front, we've been enjoying Chad Powers on Hulu and The Chair Compay on HBO. I enjoyed the trainwreck of this season of love is blind - what the heck is their casting department doing?? In the reality category, I've been loving the new seasons of Molly-Mae's show and The Kardashians. The Kardashian family will never get old to me (no pun intended 😂).
I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I've been trying to enjoy all of the fall colors while we have them - Kenny and I had not been up to the Shenandoah National Park in several weeks so we had to make sure to spend some time up there while the leaves are still beautiful!
xoxx, Laura
