Since mother nature decided to drop down some SNOW on October 29th this year, I figured I'd share a few cute winter accessories I've come across.

Kate Spade has awesome winter accessories. If I had room for an $85 hat in my budget, I'd be all over it. I definitely think I'll be picking up the Urban Outfitters cupcake/sundae gloves... how can you resist them?!

New Toms Shoes.

O.M.G I literally want all the new Toms. Well, at least the ones with the cool colored outsole. I have always said that I wish Toms had different colored outsoles, and finally, the day has come.... Now to the hardest part... which color?!

I'm kinda thinking yellow.... What do you think?!

Vegas Haul

I just got back from an awesome trip to Las Vegas. I had never been there before, and I wasn't sure I'd like it, but boy was I wrong! Even if you aren't much of a gambler, there is so much else to do that it doesn't even matter. I gambled a total of $10 and I was content with that (for the record, I left Vegas up $27!) 

Since I was there for a wedding weekend, I didn't have too much time to shop. There were two main stores that I HAD to stop at because I don't have any near me at home. Those two stores were Inglot and the MAC Pro store. 

I first stopped at Inglot. To me, they didn't have that many eyeshadows or unique nail polishes, so I just ended up picking up their gel eyeliner in #77 (black). I've heard that its lasting power is better than mac's fluidline gel liner so I figured I'd give it a try- I'll report back later with a review. 

I ran over to the MAC Pro store and went right up to a makeup artist and asked her what I could get at the pro store that I couldn't get at home. She showed me all of these crazy colors that I couldn't see myself wearing and proceeded to inform her that I was looking for more of a subtle look. That's when she sold me on these...

(From left to right: MAC's Soot eyeshadow, Fleshpot lipstick, Costa Chic lipstick & NC15/NW20 Chromographic pencil)

MAC's Soot was probably the most normal eyeshadow color she showed me. After she swatched it I could tell that it would have great blending capabilities so I figured I'd give it a shot - Fleshpot is what she recommended to me after I told her that MAC's Myth makes me look like death -Costa Chic takes MAC's Jazzed to a whole new level - and the Chromographic pencil I was told would give me the best "concealer" look on my waterline. All of the these items can only be bought at MAC Pro stores or if you have a MAC Pro card online. 

Overall I'm happy to have had the chance to pick these items up. Vegas was really an amazing time and I can't recommend visiting enough! 

CCO Haul 9.11

I've heard really good things about the CCO in Reading, PA so I decided to take a different way home from my boyfriends and check it out. I definitely felt like there was a better selection at this CCO than some of the others I have been to. Here is what I picked up...

MAC's Going Casual Creamsheen Glass, Estee Lauder/Michael Kors Very Hollywood lipgloss, Innocence, Beware!, Dalliance Mega Metal Shadow (Viva Glam Gaga not shown)

I'm seriously loving MAC's Innocence, Beware! I wasn't able to get my hands on it when the Venomous Villains collection came out and I was quite shocked to see it at the CCO. It is the perfect sheer, wearable nude. I decided to pick up MAC's Dalliance Mega Metal Shadow after swatching it on my hand and not being able to take make eyes off the metallic finish it has.

I will definitely be making more trips to this CCO in the future!

Old Navy Haul

Since Old Navy is having a 25% off sale today (online only with code ONBDAY25) I figured I'd pick up a few pieces I've been eyeing. This is what I got...

Cheetah Love 

More Cheetah Love

Cute Racerback I could wear with tights/boots this fall

There was more that I wanted, but my wallet said "no, you're going to Vegas next month." Couldn't fight with that!

Deal Alert- Fossil Maddox Plated Stainless Steel Watch

After my Michael Kors Rose Gold watch debacle, I was left missing a little rose gold in my life. During my normal stroll around TJ Maxx's jewelry department I came across this gem.

Now before purchasing the Michael Kors version, I did consider the Fossil version because it was a whopping $150 cheaper. I looked a few times at my Fossil store and it always seemed to be sold out. Without getting to see it in person- I wasn't willing to purchase it.

Luckily for me, TJ Maxx came to the rescue and had it in the store ready for me to try on! I instantly knew we would be a perfect match. Instead of the normal $95 price tag, it was marked down to $49.99. I knew the rose gold would most likely slightly rub off (as the Michael Kors version did) and while it did end up happening after one day of use, I'm ok with it. Spending $49.99 on a watch with a little wear is a lot better than spending $250 on a watch with the wear.

In the end, I'm happy to have a little rose gold back in my life. As always, TJ Maxx jewelry counter stalking pays off!
