Bundle up and be FAB!

These fantastic fall finds get me through the chilly weather feeling more fabulous than frumpy. It's all about the right beauty tweaks, layering like a pro, and setting the mood. Enjoy!

1) Get soft and luxe with an infinity scarf. This pre-looped layering piece looks cozy and effortlessly chic. Wear. With. Everything.

2) Benefit Benetint for a perpetual rosy fall glow. So pretty!

3) A strong brow! Add a little fullness to those arches with Brow Wiz by Anastasia. Brush through with the attached spooly. Soft, strong . . .gorgeous!

4) A blazer with a fitted silhouette is a structured essential for cooler weather! Layer over sweaters, thermal henleys (or really anything for that matter) for a brilliantly layered, put together ensemble that is anything but frumpy! 

5) Brightly hued fingerless gloves keep palms and wrists toasty while giving your digits freedom for showing off that manicure, or you know, grasping things like. . . keys, door nobs, lipstick, Cheetos, poker chips, etc. 

6) Crepe wedge boots. The platforms and rubber sole make them walkable and comfy, the suede upper keeps chilly toes at bay. Ultimately these boots will have you running faster, jumping higher and looking FAB for fall. EXCELLENT!

7) Statement earrings. If you're anything like me, you are covered from head to toe when the mercury drops, so statement earrings are key for looking polished!

8) Set a mood for snuggling on a chilly night with VoluSpa Maison Candle from Anthropologie (my FAV!). Italian mandarin orange with creamy vanilla, cinnamond, nutmeg and ginger . . .um, yes please!!

The Smit List!

Fabulous goodies that Sarah is Smitten with . . .

The "Smit" List:



Bamboo Charcoal Blotting Sheets. The best!


These oil absorbing papers by Sephora are actually formulated with bamboo charcoal for extra grease fighting power. A must have for any bride dealing with shine, or those who just glow a little too much in general!  http://www.sephora.com/

Da' Bangs

Bang! Bang! The humidity is gone, locks are laying smoother and are more manageable. . .so nab the opportunity for an easy hair update. . .I got mine and they make me feel . . .perky. LOVE.

For a Rosy Glow

Step away from the bronzer. Get your "I just went apple picking" fall glow on with a bright pink blush. NARS "Orgasm" does the trick nicely. Add a little tousled hair, major mascara . . . and you have a seriously sexy, healthy, playful look for fall adventuring.

Sarah is Smitten with . . .Beauty in a box!

As I went shopping for my most favoritest lip product, Lipsurgence by Tarte, I happened upon their limited edition "Radiant & Rested Universal Complexion and Color Collection." I am beyond impressed with this treasure trove of beautifying goodies. . . so let's discuss!

This set by Tarte includes nearly all of my "must haves" in one neat little package. If I've ever made you up, you know that my signature look is an illuminated complexion, glowy cheeks, bright eyes and a soft, full lip. Well boys and girls, this baby has all the tools to achieve just that!  Honestly, all you have to do now is throw your concealer and a mascara into the mix and you are all set to create your own glowy glamour with this box o' beauty.

Let me break this down, ding by wallet ding:
Lipsurgence lipgloss/lipstick hybrid pencil in all of it's awesome-ness will ding you $25.00
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush $25.00 (for the full size)
Tarte Amazonian shimmering highlighter $30.00
Tarte Double ended eyebrightener (this is pre-launch so I have to guess) I'm thinking $22
Tarte Illuminating Serum $32.00 (for the full size)

Getting all of these in a box for $42.00?!?! Priceless.

Disclaimer - the illuminating serum and blush are not full size. The blush is about half the size, and the serum about a third. However, as you only need a smidgen of each, it is still awesomeness.

Portrait of Beautifying Goodness in a BOX!

Don't even think about this one . . .get to Sephora, and, as they say in Nike-land: Just DO It!


Have a Beautiful Day!
