Printed shirt / Etoile Isabel Marant low rise corduroy pants / Plein Sud leather pants / Miso short shorts, $24 / Buckle boots / Charlotte Russe lace up booties

1. Crazy leggings are a must-have for sure! Whether they are printed or metallic like these ones, they spice up any outfit the second you slip into them.
2. Corduroy pants are another thing I have seen around lately. The funky texture can add a rocker or a flirty feel!
3. Sequins, anyone? They are definitely some of my favorites! If you get a pair of sequined shorts, you can easily throw on a pair of thick leggings underneath and call it a day! Once again I'm telling you to play around with layering and textures to create the perfect winter outfit!
4. Comfy sweaters are amazingly comfortable and complete the perfect "This old thing? I threw it on 5 minutes ago!" look. I love the signature 'Christmas' sweater and I think the sheep on the other one are adorable! As weird as it might sound, I have been seeing lots of animals on sweaters!
5. Boots, boots, boots! I love any type of boots, especially riding boots with this warm brown color.
6. Another one of my favorites are combat boots because they really toughen up an outfit and make your look seem more put together!
7. There is no way I could have done a winter must-haves post without mentioning my favorite winter drink, HOT CHOCOLATE! Its such a happy drink that makes you feel so warm and fuzzy inside!:)

Hope you guys enjoyed!

5 Tips and Tricks for Looking Healthy!

I'm so happy it is finally December!! In order to celebrate the fact that it is freezing outside, I am going to show you 5 tricks for looking instantly healthy, which is a must have for those winter days when you are feeling under the weather and don't have much time to get ready. Only one of my tips actually uses makeup, so you should defenetly have all of these products! Lets get started:

Tip 1: Naturally Buffing Your Lips

Take petroleum jelly and rub it onto your lips. Wait around 5 minutes then take a rough towel and rub it in circular motions over you lips. This will take off all the dead skin and give you supper smooth, kissable lips!

Tip 2: Look More Awake

All you have to do is take and illuminating concealer and place some under your eyes and on the bridge of your nose. When you put it under your eyes you automatically make it look like you got lots of sleep and when you put it on your nose it adds a nice glowy and dewy finish.

 Tip 3: No More Cakey Makeup

Nobody wants to look like they are wearing their entire makeup collection on their face, so if you look in the mirror and you see your foundation, concealer, bronzer, highlight, powder, blush, and contour powder all over you face, take a spray bottle filled with water and mist it over your face 3-5 times. This decreases the cakey look and adds a nice dewy, healthy finish.

Tip 4: Eat Healthy

Eating healthy is always good, so if you can, try to incorporate as many fruits and veggies into your diet as you can! You can even cheat and have fruit flavored yogurt as long as it is all natural.

Tip 5: Drink Up

Water has amazing properties that helps your skin and your entire body feel and look better.  So lay of the soda and drink some water! Try to drink as much as you can and I recommend carrying around a water bottle to school or work that way you don't have and excuse not to drink it!
