Every winter, we come across a new beauty look that becomes our go-to for the rest of the season. This year, we are loving this warm, romantic look. It not only looks beautiful, but it is also super easy to pull off. To start, you'll need a good brow pencil to fill in your brows for a polished feel. For your eyes. try a neutral peach eyeshadow for a subtle swipe of color over the lids and then a swipe or two of mascara. To finish off the look, apply a rosy blush on the apples of your cheeks and complete with a semi-matte burgundy lipstick.
With our latest outfit collage we take on how to make your go-to sweater and denim outfit look put together and polished. It's all about adding in elevated shoes and accessories. In this case we completed the combo with a pair of trendy '90s-inspired sunglasses, a sleek ear cuff, a statement mini bucket bag, and standout mule heels.

I've gotten some requests recently to share my beauty routine, so even though this is a bit out of my comfort zone, I figured why not have a little fun (hello, kissy face!), and give you guys the run-down. I've always been pretty low-key and try to get my makeup done in about 15 minutes. Here's what I currently use for my daily go-to beauty look...
BLUSH/BRONZER/HIGHLIGHTER: For some definition, I use either the Urban Decay Naked Flushed Bronzer, Highlighter & Blush Palette in Streak or BareMinerals All-Over Face Color in Warmth. I blend the bronzer with any brush I have handy along my cheekbones, hairline and lightly on my nose and chin. If I'm in the mood for a little color I add some of the blush from the palette over the apples of my cheeks. For highlighting, I'm obsessed with Chantecaille Liquid Lumière Illuminator in Sheen. I dab a little along the top of my cheeks, the inner corner of my eyes and under my brow arch for a flattering and subtle glow.
EYES: To begin, I lightly dab one of the bronzers mentioned earlier to my lids for a little depth. Next, I tightline my eyes with simple black eyeliner. I like to use the Almay Contour Crayon Eyeliner since it doesn't smudge as much as a pencil. If I want to add some flair and have some extra time, I like to do a winged cat-eye look with Cover Girl Intensify Me! Liquid Liner. To complete my eyes, I go straight for my Shiseido Eyelash Curler and throw on a few coats of Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara in Very Black.
There's no denying that black Converse sneakers have become a classic and easy go-to for when you want to add a sporty-edge to any look. Here are 21 cool ways to wear a pair!
Happy to share that my fiancé and I have finally set a wedding date in July. As some of you may know, my father passed away about a month after we got engaged, so naturally a wedding was no longer top of mind for us. Though it won't be easy not having him there, we feel the timing is right. Many of you may be wondering how or why we are only giving ourselves two and a half months to pull this off, and the answer is that we are going for a small, intimate, and simple celebration. Thankfully, our families will conveniently be in the area for that date. Click below to find out more about my wedding prep and plans...
Natalie is serving up major inspiration on what to wear to a summer wedding. Her bright orange dress and nude heels mix is a stylish and super easy go-to.
A pleated skirt is your new BFF, whether you’re dressing for the office, lunch with the girls, or holiday parties. This ladylike piece adds a touch of femininity to any look and is one of the most versatile pieces this season. We love this street style look that pairs a flowy skirt with a structured black blazer and animal print sandals. We can’t wait to copy this outfit and win best-dressed wherever we go. Shop our favorite pleated skirts below.
At the start of the new season, we may rush to pull out our favorite staples from last year. But after a few weeks go by, new seasons get old and you may fall into the inevitable sartorial slump. We're here to help prevent that and so are our favorite celebs. Margot Robbie stepped out in our next go-to; a striped knit, long navy blue coat, wide-leg jeans, and Chanel embellished sandals.
When it's too hot to wear clothes, you only have one option left. No, not nudity! A bathing suit. Bathing suit shopping can be daunting. That top is too big. This one is too tight. Those bottoms don't give you the booty you wish for. When shopping gets complicated, look to this guide. Every type of bathing suit is designed to enhance different body parts and we're designed to help you scout out the perfect one. To hide a tummy, go for waist ruching. To make your legs look a mile long, try a high cut. For a cheaper breast-lift, opt for a halter top or thicker straps. Want a bigger butt? Go for a cheeky boy short or ruffled bottoms. Small chest? PADDING and busy prints. Broad shoulders? Asymmetrical tops. Check out some picks below (in the order mentioned) for your perfect bathing suit. Read the post on We're Not Exclusive for more.

Sometimes we're at a total loss as to what to put on; especially these days when our days are more casual than not, and more relaxed than before. For all your languid afternoons and breezy mornings, opt for this casual-chic outfit. All you'll need is your favorite blazer layered over a crop top or tissue turtleneck, then a pair of baggy distressed denim and white sneakers. Easy.
Leopard print coat, skinny jeans and black pumps, plus some chic home decor inspiration? Yes, please! This look is an easy go-to to keep in mind... Just add a simple tee or button-down.
A bright pair of heels is an easy way to add a pop of color to your go-to casual chic denim look. I'm admittedly afraid of wearing vibrant hues, but am still always looking for a subtle way to add more color—These tasseled yellow suede heels most definitely fit the bill!
There's something about a comfortable, but cute, ensemble you just can't beat. While on lockdown (and on my own personal social distancing rules) I've been making it a point to get dressed every day, even just to walk the dog. My favorite go-to look as of late; the ribbed tank and baggy sweat shorts, both '90s-inspired. Wear yours with a pair of chunky white dad sneakers to get the full look.
Ah, the ease of summer. Where the living is truly easy but extremely hot. When the sun begins to shine a little brighter, and chances of gusts are slim, opt for something voluminous to cool you off. This blogger posted our next go-to look; an oversized plaid Zara dress, paired with a straw circle tote and white sneakers.
Tired of wearing sweatpants? Give them a much needed break with this cool stay-at-home denim look as your inspiration. It's super easy to pull off and will come in handy far after this period of the self-quarantine outfit is over. To recreate the look go for a beige short sleeved tee, coin pendant necklace, cropped skinny jeans, and comfy slippers. Add a little color to the look with a fresh red pedicure. Shop our top picks for getting the outfit below.
Flared jeans and a camel coat have never looked so fresh. We love how polished and put together this street style look is, while having a relaxed vibe at the same time. Wide leg denim pairs perfectly with a classic wool coat and a cozy turtleneck, and we can see these pieces easily taking you from brunch to shopping to dinner with friends.
There are some days you don't really want to get dressed up, but still, need to represent yourself in a sleek and put-together way. That's when straight-leg trousers come in handy. The tailored separate can be paired with so many different blouses but looks unexpectedly chic teamed with a slouchy t-shirt or muscle tee, like Claire Rose's look. Add sneakers and you're set for the day!
