Oversized Colorblock Cardigan

This sweater was one of the most popular items at the summer Nordstrom anniversary sale. And with good reason. It's so luxurious and soft. It's really fantastic. I paired it with Toms booties I bought from Zulily and my Louis Vuitton Bag. Overall a very chic look.

Topshop Patchwork Cardigan $85

The one I have is sold out but you can still buy it in shades of grey and it's totally worth it. Mine is a 6 and I probably would have liked it even larger in an 8.

SheIn Colorblock Cardigan $33

SheIn is a great company that mades dupes of a lot of great styles. This is the same style for a lot less just not as luxurious or soft.

Old Navy Tee $6

My t-shirt is actually a Lula Roe Classic Tee which you can buy from my friend Olivia. Or get this similar one from Old Navy. 

H&M Skinny Jeans $10

At $10 these are a great buy. They are skin tight and flattering.

Toms Lunata Suede Fringe Booties $129

I bought mine on Zulily for less than half that price so keep your eyes out for their Toms sales. Nordstrom has them right now and they are pretty awesome. I need Toms a half size larger then my usual size.

Target Fringe Peeptoe Booties $38

Leave it to Target to make a nice cheaper version. These have open toes but boy are they cute.

Louis Vuitton Bag $1,390

Mine is pretty acient but this is a very similar one. Check eBay for good deals but you're going to pay at least $500 for this size. It's held up for 10+ years.

Michael Kors Bag $120

MK can give you the same chic look at 1/10 the price. This one is on sale from Joma Shop.

House of Harlow Cuff $66
This is a great deal on a beautiful bracelet that I got from my rocksbox (get a free month with this code: amandabbff1130). It's super elegant and hard to imagine it was designed by a woman who did a reality tv show going to Beverly Hills to a farm.

Ettika Onyx Ring $30
Another great rocksbox find that works great on my arthritic fingers.

ETSY Monogram Necklace $13
I love this super cheap version of a really expensive Baubble Bar necklace. However be careful with this vendor. She sends you a proof pretty quickly and if you don't approve it right away she will print it and send it anyway. Good quality, cheap product, fast, but crappy customer service.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunnies $140
I really love these sunglasses, they have the perfect tint and are sturdy.

BP Gloria Sunnies $12
These are a great cheaper option.

Cobalt Sweater with Matching Hunter Boots

I was so excited when I found a sweater that perfectly matches my cobalt blue Hunter Boots. Old Navy has these sweaters in so many different colors so you could match them to any boot color and the best part it's only $12 and pretty comfortable. Check it out and my accessories.

Old Navy V Neck Sweater $12
The colors are great and it's comfy but it's not very thick so it won't be a great one for the dead of winter. Try buying it a size larger and putting a white or denim collared shirt under it when it gets colder.

Topshop Jeans $80
I love that these jeans are only ripped above the knee. Perfect for boots.

Just USA jeans $30
These jeans are so sot and a great price.

Hunter Boots $150
I know they are expensive but they are the best rain and snow boots. I love this color!

JC Penny Rainboots $25

These are a great color and on sale!

Kate Spade Striped Bag $196

Mine is old but this is a similar one that will go perfectly with the blue boots and it's on sale!

Tommy Hilfiger Striped Tote $66
This one is on sale and a great alternative.

New York and Company Necklace $8
I love mine so much but it's a year old. Here is a similar one almost as awesome and majorly on sale.

House of Harlow Arrow Ring $38
Mine came from my rocksbox and I bought it for way less (get a free month with this code: amandabbff1130) but you can buy it from Zappos.

BH Hedgehog Ring $15
Mine is from Ross-Simmons who makes amazing animal rings that you should check out. But I found a cute silver one for a great price.

ETSY Crystal Bracelet $30
Mine was my GGs but here is a similar and beautiful one from ETSY.

ETSY Lucite Bracelet $12
This one is even more fab then mine is!

Dress Up Your Herringbone Vest with Thigh High Boots and a Swing Dress

As promised this vest is very versatile. It's been around for a few seasons so I know a few of you who have it sitting lonely in your closet. I dressed it up for church with some amazing and cheap thigh high boots from Charlotte Russe and a simple and soft swing dress from Old Navy. This look would be great without the vest too if you wanted it too be a little dressier. Check out these great pieces.

J. Crew Vest $54

I'm so glad they are still selling this vest. Perfect weight and thickness.

Target Vest $35

The target version is actually quite cute if not a tad bit puffier.

Old Navy Swing Dress $37

This dress is really soft, cute and flattering. I bought it with my Old Navy Bucks so it was like $10!

Charlotte Russe Thigh High Boots $25
I can't believe the sale price on these. They are really fantastic thigh high boots that fit over skinny jeans but still stay up without them. Get them while they're on sale.

Sole Society Leopard and Faux Black Leather Crossbody Bag $80
This bag is so soft and stylish.

Forever 21 Y Necklace $5
Mine is a little twisted in this picture but it's a really cheap version of a much more expensive style.

eBay H Bracelet $21
I have these in a few colors but I really get a lot of wear out of the black one.

Nordstrom Sunnies $12
These are a really cheap version of gorgeous Dior sunnies.

Dramatic Smokey Ombre Eye

This is a beautiful nighttime look I wore to my friend's Leanne's wedding. It takes a little more skill then anything I've posted before but I think if you try it you'll love the results. Just give yourself time to get it right. I used the NYX Smokey Look Kit $12 and Ulta Dual Tip Foam Applicators $2 and a crease brush and a blender brush.

Step 1: Prime lids with a product like Too Faced Shadow Insurance $20.

Step 2: Pick a light grey to start with. I used the right middle color to start at the inner corner of my eye using a foam applicator.

Step 3: Flip the applicator over and use a medium shade I used the top middle and apply it to the center of the lid.

Step 4: Pick a dark shade of grey. I used the top right and used a new applicator to the outer corner of the eye.

Step 5: This is the hard part. As you can notice the lines are harsh and need to be blurred. Uses the applicators to blend the colors gently into each other.

Step 6: Use the darkest shade, I used the middle color, and with a crease brush I highlighted the outer corner and up into the crease a little. Then take your blending brush and soften it.

Step 7: Use an ink liner like Kat Von D Tattoo Liner $20 (which I adore). Follow these steps. I also added a little liner under my eye.

Step 8: Finish with a mascara primer like Lancome Cils Booster $26 and a bold mascara like Tart Light's Camera Flashes Statement Mascara $23. You can also add lashes if you feel up to it. I used Ardell
 Glamour Wispies $4.
