Sensible Stylista

My Favorite LBD

Soooo, a few months ago, I told you guys about my dream LBD find here at Last Call Neiman Marcus.  Lucky for you guys, it's still in stock and available here for $50(!!!) I really can't recommend it enough.  It literally looks good on everyone!  It must've been designed by Dumbledore or something because the draping's straight up magical.  Do yourself a serious favor and cop it while you can.  You're seriously getting it for nothing - $62 is nothing in the long run, especially if you consider cost per wear.  
Anywho, I accessorized with an old silver clutch from Coach, handmade statement earrings, and fabulous bangles for a classy night out with frands. These gorgeous bracelets are part of Trollbeads' new "Falling in Love" collection - currently available for up to 35% off.  Sidebar: I'm currently hosting a giveaway for 'em.  Two lucky winners will score jewelry of their choice from their new line - to enter, click here.

October: The Best of Beauty

1.  e.l.f. Intense Ink Eyeliner ($3):  Looking for a solid liquid liner? Save serious moolah and purchase this baby STAT.  I've always been a huge fan of elf, but this is next level sh*t.  I will be repurchasing this for years to come.  Why spend $20+ on "designer" liner when you can get amazing product for a fraction of the price? 

2.  Marrakesh Hair Styling Elixer ($12.45):  Beyond obsessed with this product.  I use 2-3 pumps daily to keep my ends hydrated.  A little goes a long way though so keep that in mind during application!  This baby will improve your mane's condition & texture tenfold and help prevent frizz. Use this on wet hair for best results!

3.  Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss, No. 47 ($5.79):  Hands down, my new favorite lipstick.  I've been using it every day for the last 3 weeks, and I'm still not sick of the shade.  It's the perfect nude, and it matches my MAC "spice" lip pencil perfectly.  For a Kylie Jenner worthy pucker, purchase this ASAP. 

4.  Biobelle Sheet Masks ($26.95 for 6 or $5 for 1):  These sheet masks slay!  For super amazing skin, purchase 'em stat.  Infused with rich serums, these babies deliver antioxidants faster and deeper due to their cutting edge tencel technology.  Wear them for 20-30 minutes after showering 3 times a week for baby soft skin.  You're welcome in advance.

5.  Clinique Pep-Start 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser ($19.50):  This product's THE perfect everyday cleanser, and it just so conveniently happens to work with all skin types.  It does a fabulous job exfoliating impurities so it leaves my skin feeling super smooth.  NOTE: I don't recommend using this when you're trying to remove a full face of make-up.  I like to use it in the mornings because it gives my face the perfect base.

The Ultimate Wrap Dress

I can't even begin to tell you guys how much I love this wrap dress from ASOS.  I'm all about looking cute, but feeling comfortable is my number 1 concern (at least most of the time, ha).  Regardless of what I wear, I've found that confidence is key.  I don't know about you guys, but I can't feel like a rockstar if I'm feeling self-conscious about my body.  I mean, constantly tugging my clothes and re-adjusting my outfit? Definitely not a good time in my book.  
So, why do I like this dress so much?  Firstly, it doesn't wrinkle...like at all, which is awesome because it doesn't get messed up in the car.  I go to events in DC quite often so I'm usually driving for 1-1.5 hours, and at the end of it all, everything gets wrinkled because I'm sitting for so long.  A big bummer for sure, but luckily, I own a bunch of pieces that combat the distance well. 

Secondly, it's cute but super comfy - the material has a lot of give, and the design highlights the small of my waist, which creates the illusion of longer legs and a curvier hourglass figure.  I'm super self-conscious of my back-fat so this piece masks that perfectly.  This item's currently low-stock, but here are similar designs for you guys!


A close-up shot of my Chloe bag!  Isn't it darling? A solid neutral bag is a must-have for every lady because it'll go with any and everything.  I'll make sure to link similar options below in varying price points for y'all.
