PRETTY PJS



These are the CUTEST pjs I have ever seen!  I ordered them from Nordstrom after I came across this print online and I could not say no!  They are a tiny bit see-through but for sleeping they are so comfy, airy and lightweight!  I thought they would be a little bit more of a silky/shiny material but they are still super soft and adorable and fit TTS!  

I have heard a lot of great things about the brand, Pretty Plum Sugar.  They sell some of their products at Nordstrom but they also have their own website, which I will link here!  If you are a bride and getting married soon, I highly recommend checking out their robes and pajama sets!  They are gorgeous floral prints and perfect for your special day!  <3

SIMPLE SKINCARE


What's better than gentle, affordable skin care products that actually work?  ...probably a lot of things LOL but these products are things I use morning and night and I have kept restocking them for months!  I have seen this brand at the drugstore (CVS, Walgreens, etc.) several times but finally decided to give it a try about 6 months ago.  These products are extremely gentle on the skin and really clean your pores and eliminate ALL makeup.  My favorite of these three products is hands down the cleansing facial wipes!  I have tried a lot of different makeup wipes (cheap and expensive) that have left my face feeling very sticky and took 3-5 wipes to get ALL the makeup off (and trust me, I do not wear a lot of makeup on a day to day basis).  These work like a charm and you only need 1 so they last quite a long time!

I HIGHLY recommend trying this brand out!  For the price...it's definitely worth a shot :)  Let me know down below if these products work for you and if you love them as much as I do!

FALL LAYERS





Yesterday was absolutely beautiful in the city!!  My husband and I took full advantage of the sunshine and went out for lunch and shopping, although, I didn't find anything left on the shelves :X  I was super comfy walking around the city in this outfit.  If you don't already have a pair of Express denim...you need to order some NOW!  They are the comfiest and most flattering pair of pants you will ever own!  PS - the entire site is up to 50% off :D  You better believe I have a few pairs that will be arriving in the mail soon!  I have attached the links to most of the pieces I'm wearing (some are old so I found similar items).  Everything is super affordable and perfect for this time of year...in DC at least ;)  Enjoy!!
