smokey eye.

There's nothing I love more for the night than a good smokey eye. I found a few new looks for inspiration.. I tend to err on the side of caution but I'm tempted to take it a little more severe.

Well, hurricane sandy is on her way here.. let's hope I don't lose power! All this gloomy weather is making me wish I had the coziest of blankets and pillows at home. In my search for cozy blankets and pillows, I came across Wildflower Organic. Here are a few things from their site that I've added to my dream house wish list...

This weekend was our Halloween weekend... We went with the day of the dead makeup. This is how it turned out...

 

The entire costume cost about $5. Very cheap to fit my budget and it was actually kind of scary!

It looks like I will actually make it to New York for the first time ever! For as much as I've travelled, I'm very surprised that this is just now happening. Trip has planned for the beginning of december...

trees.

I'm not sure what exactly it is...I've never been able to put my finger on it...but I am in love with trees. Maybe because they are alive and will be for longer than me. Or maybe it's just the fact that they just have to stand there and look pretty 24/7. Regardless, here are some that I've come to love!

The Angel Oak, South Carolina.

West Palm Beach, Florida.

Palace of Versailles, France.

The giant oak in my old front yard, Royal Oak, MI.

song for today.

I love this band...

See them live if you EVER get the chance. 

costume time.

So it's that time of year again, time to think up this year's Halloween costume. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time or motivation to really get crafty so this year I think some Dia de los Muertos will have to do. It might actually be a little scary.... well anything might be compared to a sexy (fill in the blank).

feeling fall.

There's nothing better than a beautiful fall day.. it's a shame that it does last longer. Time to go grab a pumpkin spice latte and read a book...
