Currently Craving: Fall Flannel Shirts and Floppy Hats

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10

'Tis the season of flannels, ankle booties, rich colors and floppy hats. There are so many reasons to wear a flannel shirt these days. Understanding the significance of style and comfort is something that my wardrobe can appreciate.

I have been wanting to find a good quality flannel shirt for some time now and I've finally found it. The flannel shirts I've owned in the past aren't thick and soft enough for my liking. I want a flannel to be cozy and comfortable and still be fashionable. The flannel above is from Madewell. I love the plaid pattern and dark colors; they are the perfect combo for a cozy fall day. The quality is one that I think will last, and only get better with time. 

I have also been searching for an oxblood color floppy hat, just for fall. I think a floppy hat can work for me in so many ways. When I only have a few minutes to get out of the door but don't want to sacrifice style, a cute hat spices up my look. And let's face it, we all have a few bad hair days here and there, especially if you live in a humid climate. 

I think the hat and your favorite pair of booties would go perfectly with the Madewell flannel.

Holiday Palette: Benefit Cosmetics Cheeky Sweet Spot Box O' Blushes

  

  The Holidays are coming up so you know what that means.. NEW HOLIDAY VALUE SETS / PALETTES! I love how makeup brands come out with different sets each year. The mini products in each value set give me a chance to try out different products without buying the full size and having to take it back if I don't like it.

  

  My favorite makeup product to purchase is blush (hence, the name Blush in a Rush)! I love pinkish colored blushes. I feel blush is something that can bring a lot of life back into my face.

  I found this Benefit Cosmetics Cheeky Sweet Spot Box O' Blushes palette at my local Ulta store and just had to get it! I currently own the full size of the blush color ‘Dandelion’. I have been wanting  to try more of the Benefit's Box O' Powders. This was the first time Benefit put their famous box o' powders together in one spot so this was a great opportunity to give it a try. The Benefit Cosmetics Cheeky Sweet Spot Box O' Blushes comes with Dandelion, Sugarbomb, CORALista, Bella Bama, Hoola, Rockateur, Watt’s Up!, as well as a small blush brush with a 'tips and tricks' guide.

  

  The packaging is adorable. It is a tin that is in the design of a candy store. All of the blushes inside have a little glitter to give you a sheen but the glitter is not chunky, so they are good for everyday use and the hoola bronzer is matte, so it is good to use for contouring. I love this cheek palette!

  

  This value set is a must have at only $36! It is a great holiday gift to give... or as a little gift to oneself!

You can get Benefit Cosmetics Cheeky Sweet Spot Box O' Blushes here and here.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. I turned a busy productive weekend into a fun one. I helped my family and friends knock some important things off their "Fall to do List." 

Thankfully the weather cooperated and we had three pretty days down south. Our neighborhood had its fall festival, yes, the season is here! Even though it is still a little warm here, there seems to be a nice breeze. I wanted to dress comfy and fun, but still feel I was dressing for the season. It was really quite comfortable and fit right into this pumpkin spice and all things nice time of year.

FALL...

 It's the season I look to the most.

Bonfires with friends and family, college football (ROLL TIDE), the crisp smell of the air and the nice breeze instead of a heat wave lurking around.  Oh and what about the fall candles (mmm... Bath and Body Works fall candles are my favorite)  

These are just a few of my favorite things about fall.

This outfit is really cute and simple to put together, especially when your rushing to get out the door and only have 15 minutes to spare, but while still looking put together! Its a perfect outfit to run errands in or just hanging out with my friends on a cool brisk evening.
