Now that I have had my pieces from the Phillip Lim for Target collection for a few weeks, I can honestly say that the two items I picked up will be my favorites this fall. I have worn the BOOM scarf so many times since I got it, and have found it to be such a versatile and fun piece. Since the scarf has so many colors and details depending on how it is tied, a new look can be achieved each time.

I wore this look for a casual Saturday filled with lunch and shopping! I’m a big fan of hats, so when I started seeing the felt and wool hats I had to pick one up! This one is from H&M and was super inexpensive. I added the military vest for a bit of warmth and color – it was a great find at Urban Outfitters on SUPER SALE for only $13! I finished off the look with some Converse to keep things casual.

I obsessed with plaid – the more the better! l wore this look to a relaxing Sunday brunch with my family 🙂 I’m a huge fan of plaid prints, and now that fall is here it’s time to break out the flannels and scarves! The current trend of mixing prints is one I am really loving, so I figured I would give it a try with some of my favorite plaid pieces. To finish off the look and make it a bit more girly, I added an elegant statement necklace and some shiny cap toe flats.

OOTD: Edgy Eyelet

Today I decided to take my white eyelet skirt out for one last spin! I’m not one to follow the no white after Labor Day rule, and I think the best way to bring white into fall is by pairing it with a darker pieces. This is why I decided to pair my white eyelet skirt with all black. To make this outfit office appropriate (for my office at least), I added a statement necklace and structured jacket!

Review: Korres Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Lip Cooler

Lip Cooler & Package

This past weekend I took a much needed trip to Sephora! I went in without a specific purchase (which is always dangerous!), but I really wanted to play around with some new products. I came across the Korres Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Lip Cooler which I had never seen before. I was very intrigued by the Greek Yoghurt aspect as it’s supposed to be very hydrating and nourishing for your lips! Even though winter tends to be the season for dry skin and lips, I still like to make sure my lips stay soft and moisturized all year round. I’ve tried the lip butters from Korres and I really like them so I was excited to give this a try!

The Greek Yoghurt Lip Coolers come in a few different colors, although none of them were super pigmented when I swatched them at the store. I went with the strawberry – I think it’s a great color for everyday wear!

Something that really stands out about this product is that the applicator has a metal rolling ball at the tip! The roller ball helps to create the cooling effect, which is a nice treat during the summer. The products texture is a bit gritty but it disappears quickly if you use the rolling ball to rub the product into your lips. The balm is very long lasting, but sadly the cooling effect is pretty short lived!

Afterwards, this product leaves your lips soft and moisturized! Not only does it look pretty on the lips, but it really does make a difference in the way your lips feel after wearing. There isn’t much I would change about this product, though I would like if they offered some more pigmented shades. These versatile balms are definitely worth a try and will not break the bank at $19 a pop!

Are there any lip treatments you use that give you great results? Let me know!

Denim and chambray tops are my absolute favorite since they are so easy to dress up or down. For this outfit, I decided to pair my two-toned denim top with a white eyelet skirt. White eyelet is a summer staple that creates a feminine look with, without using much color. Since this outfit is so simple, I went with a bold and colorful statement necklace to dress it up a bit. I am a big fan of statement necklaces –  they add a pop to a basic look. Check out my Five Under Fifty: Statement Necklaces post on beautiful summer statement necklaces under fifty dollars! Overall, this OOTD is perfect for lunch with friends, running around town, or a causal day at work!

Statement necklaces are the perfect way to spice up any outfit! Adding a statement necklace to a simple look can instantly take it to the next level. I love these pieces because they all have a pop of color, which is especially perfect for summer! I also tend to wear very neutral clothing, so these necklaces make it easy to add some summer flare. Above are five of the necklaces I’ve been loving for summer, and the best part is they are all under $50!
