Fall Trends: Metallic Heels + NORDSTROM GIVEAWAY
Hello friends! I am so excited to share this outfit with ya’ll today! I’m so obsessed with metallic heels, and these silver mules are an absolute shoe lover’s dream. This is my second pair of silver metallic heels. The first pair was from a super affordable pair from DSW to allow me to try the trend out. I loved them, but they had a low kitten heel which is not always my thing as you probably have realized over the years.
I picked up these metallic silver mules a few months ago during the Shopbop friends and family sale, so it brought the price down a little bit. This brand is one of my favorites for stylish, comfy, and quality. I own about 3 or 4 pairs from them, and all of them hold up to a night on your feet. I love a mule style heel too. They can be a little difficult to balance in with such a high heel at first, but with time you will adjust. The silver is like a crackled metallic. It is GORGEOUS in person.
When you think metallic heels, I feel a super dressy look immediately comes to mind. I decided to show you a little more casual way to wear this fall trend with my favorite gray jeans and this beautiful floral print top (which FYI is on sale!) All the grays play together so well in this outfit. I think it really pulls the pink and gray out of the top. The metallic heels are a great way to add a little something extra to your casual looks this fall and winter. I love this outfit for brunch or even as a Thankgiving outfit.
What do you think about metallic heels? Love them or not so much?

The Little Black Dress You Will Wear All Holiday Season
Okay, I’m pretty sure I have found the perfect little black dress you will wear all holiday season. This dress will take you from work to date night, happy hour, or post work event seamlessly. It would also be perfect to wear to an office holiday party or dinner party. Overall, I would wear this outfit to work exactly as is except I would probably go with a little less glam earring choice like studs or simple hoops. Transitioning this dress from day to night can be easy as changing out your accessories. You can add a pair of statement earrings like I did in this post. Changing out your heels to a fun colorful pair like red for a holiday party or date night is another simple swap. Metallic heels are so popular right now and would be perfect for an event or happy hour.
I have such a weakness for little black dresses that can work so perfectly in a variety of situations with just a few accessory swaps. I love this dress for the holidays because the calendar is filled with parties and events and having one dress for all of them can be good for your budget. This dress can be glammed up or kept very simple to work in a variety of parties from cocktail to Thanksgiving dinner to casual post work drinks with friends. If you want one dress that will carry you from fall to winter, I found it!
Speaking of holiday parties, I am headed to a fun Halloween party this weekend! I’m so excited to be gathered with all my friends and catch up. I’m a huge fan of dressing up and playing with fun makeup ideas, and so are many of my friends. I can’t wait to see what everyone wears this year. I hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Best Mascara for Volume and Length
| DETAILS |
c/o It Cosmetics Superhero | Too Faced Better than Sex | Benefit BadGal Bang
I have played with quite a few mascaras over the past year or so, and today I’m sharing what I consider the best mascara for volume and length. Actually, I’m sharing my Top 3 in a little beauty review countdown. One thing to note, I do use Rodan & Fields Lash Boost which increases the length and volume of my lashes pre-mascara.
3. It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara – This was my first non-drugstore mascara. I started using this one pre-Lash Boost too. After one wear, I was sold on looking into pricier mascaras for the volume and length I craved. I use two coats of this mascara. This one is amazing for both volume and length. It really adds a thickness to each lash giving a very full look along with length for days. I ranked it 3rd, because mine started clumping the quickest of the these three.
2. Benefit BadGal Bang – A friend recommended this one to me. I wasn’t quite sure of the thin brush, but ya’ll that thin brush packs a good punch. This one is best at adding length and definition between each lash. If you do a small side to side movement of the brush when applying, you can also get a little more volume and fullness. I use 2 coats for day and 3 coats for a more dramatic night out look. I’m big on mascara clumping because who wants to have to toss a $20+ tube of mascara until you have used every last drop. I’m almost to the end of this one, and it has yet to get clumpy. I do wish it provided just a little more fullness, but I do like the definition it provides each lash. Kind of the trade off.
1. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara– This mascara is what I consider my holy grail of mascaras. I always have a tube in beauty drawer. Two coats of this mascara add length and a full volume look. A third coat just takes it to an even more dramatic level. I love using a 3rd coat for a night out. The brush catches ever lash giving great definition between lashes without compromising a look of fullness. This one does sometimes get a little clumpy towards the end of the tube, but I’m still able to finish off my tube without issue. Of all the mascaras I have tried, this one provides the best volume and length. It’s a best seller and has earned its reputation.
I hope this review of my top mascaras for volume and length helped you find a new favorite. If you have a mascara you can’t live without, leave me the brand and product name in the comments. I would love to try it out! Thanks for stopping by ya’ll!

Instagram Roundup: September & October
Hello friends! How was your weekend? Mine was productive and busy, filled with errands and crossing items off my to do list. It always feels so good to have one of those get all the things done weekends. It’s been a bit since I shared an Instagram roundup, and I’m hoping to do this monthly or every couple of months. I love showcasing some of my personal favorite outfits from the gram for those of you who don’t use it or who do and want the outfit details without LiketoKnow.it.
My September and October roundup is filled with fall outfit ideas for work, weekend, and date night. Our fall so far has been mostly warm and these outfits definitely reflect that! I share more daily outfits in Instastories. If you don’t watch or have Instagram, you can see most of these daily outfits on my Shop Instagram page. You just click the pic and the outfit details will open up. I upload all the info there for easy access. Enjoy the fall outfit inspiration and hope you have a fabulous Halloween week!
