I got a lot of goodies from the Gap this year for Christmas and I figured that was a perfection thing to make a post about! I put the pieces together to create a few different outfits, all of the sizes range from a size small and a size 4. I love the way that the Gap's clothes fit my body and I was in DIRE need of some dressier pieces to wear into classrooms.
I loved the look of these two dresses on me, it reminded me of Zooey Deschanel and her style is amazing! I thought that these would be perfect to wear into classrooms for my student teaching or for any dressy occasion.
This denim jacket is such a perfect shade and will be an amazing staple piece in my wardrobe. While the blue top fits me, I could have went up a size (medium) to get a more relaxed fit.
As you could probably tell, I got a lot of denim and blue shaded pieces. This denim button up is such good quality! It's thick and a beautiful dark blue denim shade. The scarf is thick enough to wear in the winter weather, but also looks great to be worn as an accessory scarf.
I put together a small collective haul of some new makeup goodies that I recently purchased/ used Sephora points on! I do not go into a crazy amount of depth on each product, because I have not used all of them yet! Click on the links to learn more about each product listed.
Sephora
Kat Von D- Tattoo Liner
I have had the chance to use this for a few weeks and this pen is a new favorite, no wonder it is one of her best sellers. It is not a felt tip pen like other ones out there, it is an actual brush! Once I put this on, it goes NO where!
I have been eyeing this for a few months now and I finally gave in and purchased this little beauty (thank the Lord for gift cards)! I use this for the inner rim of my eyes AND to make my cat eyes looking perfect.
I have a LOVE for Urban Decay pallets and I was able to score this for 500 points! It comes with 4 gorgeous colors, a mini 24/7 eye pencil, and a sample of the eye shadow primer. The colors are a cream shade, a tan color, a shimmery pink, and a black with silver sparkles.

Ulta
NYX Concealer
I have heard a lot of good things about using green concealer to help with redness and breakouts, especially from this drugstore brand. Put this on first and then put normal concealer over the top to create a flawless look.
It's creamy, it goes on with a crazy amount of color, and I got it on sale.

The Body Shop- Vitamin C Microdermabrasion
I snagged this when I was passing through the danger zone (we all know what I am talking about). My skin gets dry and dull during the winter, so I thought this would be a cheap and easy way to fix that.
I have been a fan of the whole denim on denim trend for a while now, but I took some ideas from Olivia Palermo.
Simple curled hair, skinny jeans, a denim button up shirt, and printed flats. It's as simple as that!! It is an effortless and cool look that can be easily dressed up or down. The possibilities for this trend are never ending, just grab some denim and put it on!
It is that time of the month were I go on about a few things that I have been loving for the past month. Not to mention that it is pretty crazy to think that it is already December!
1. Charlie Hunnam/Sons of Anarchy
The first one is this man...he deserves his own blog post, but for the sake of me not looking like a freak, I will just put him in my favorites. Ladies, meet Charlie Hunnam, for those of you that do not know who this is he plays Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy. I honestly only started watching this show because he was in it, but then I fell in love with the plot and stayed for everything else. Go yYouTubeor Google search this show, all I will say is that it is crazy, sexy, dangerous, and everything else you can think of...oh and that also goes along with the character he plays. It also has a bunch of guys riding motorcycles and covered in tattoos, so that is an instant must see.
This is my first Paint Pot that I have ever purchased and I am a changed woman because of it! This shade is a little darker than the Painterly color, but it adds so much depth to my eyes when I want to do a simple look.
These two things make my night time routine amazing! I keep these on my bedside table to put on right before I pass out. The lip scrub is not edible like the Lush ones are, but it works just as well! It has this amazing cherry flavor and the tiny beads are amazing for exfoliating. I scrub it on with my finger, wipe it off with a towel, and then add the rose scented salve on top. I have heard that this stuff is a dup for the Dior Creme De Rose as well.
This blush is KILLER! It reminds me of something a rock star/ bad girl would wear. The shade is a deep rose and it even smells like perfume. Not to mention that this stuff is perfect for winter, it gives a perfect flush to my cheeks.
I use this stuff year round, but I have been using it even more with winter arriving. I get dry patches on my face and arms and the oatmeal and other soothing ingredients help to fix that in no time. I have had this same bottle for a year and I have only used half of it and yes, I use it everyday! A little goes a long way!!
I have a candle hording problem, so I have been waiting to burn this one for a while and lets just say that my apartment smells like Heaven. Yep, Heaven. I can't even describe how perfect this scent is, but it smells exactly like Christmas. It is a mix of red apples, cinnamon, cloves, and green pine...told you it's perfect.
I have really gotten back into acoustic/folk music and this man is incredible! I found him through Sons of Anarchy s soundtrack (go figure) and I fell in love. His voice is so full of emotion and I highly recommend you go and listen to "Day is Gone" and "First Defeat." Such a beautiful artist.
