a few of my favorite things
When it comes to accessories and beauty, some things never change. Check out my staples!
I'll admit it, my style and interests are always changing. One day I'm feeling elegant and classy and will want to pair delicate florals with diamonds, the next day I want to bust out my fraying combat boots and leather jacket.
Although I am I confident I do have a signature style, one of my biggest style strengths is taking all these different moods and feelings and esthetics of fashion and using them to fit my personal brand. So when it comes to defining my favorites and staples in beauty and accessories, I'm thinking about the pieces that are always consistent, no matter what look I'm going for. Earrings that can be both classy and edgy, lipstick that can be both feminine and sexy.
These are a few of those things I consider my go-to pieces. And of course, there is always something new items being added and taken away, so be sure to stay tuned for future updated posts like this one!

Fun tidbit: If I had to choose one item of makeup to use for the rest of my life, I would choose mascara. I never feel completely ready until my mascara is done. It's also usually the last step in my daily makeup routine. My granny always used to say I had such naturally long [& beautiful!] eyelashes. Because of this, I think I have subconsciously tried to take good care of them, and investing in a lash primer doesn't hurt (Update: I have changed up my lash primer game and have really been feeling the Sonia Kushuk lash and brow enhancer!)
