Since I have been loving Essie nail polish a ton lately, I thought I could show you guys my collection! Essie nail polishes are not the cheapest nail polishes, they go for about $8.50 each but, have in mind, I have collected these over a period of 3 years (probably should go through them all but, they just so pretty!). The quality of these nail polishes are the best and I can't seem to find any others that compare. 

Starting from top left to right:

1) Go Overboard

2)Butler Please

3)Turquoise and Caicos

4) Aruba Blue

5) Where's my Chauffeur?

Middle from left to right:

1) Forever Yummy

2) Chinchilly

3) Wicked

These mini Essie nail polishes are from the 2014 fall collection line and I found them at Kohl's one day. I'm sure you can find these colors in the regular sizes as well.

5) No Place Like Chrome

This was just a quick blog I wanted to post for you guys and I am really impressed with Essie and their line. I feel like they have every single color you could want to go with any outfit and they last for over a week and the color pay off is amazing. Doing my nails can seem like a tough chore to do because I always have something else going on and I completely ruin my nails. Essie never stays wet and dries instantly. Plus, there's no annoying smell that stays in your room for a long time. I'd say, for a pretty pricey nail polish, this is worth saving your money for.

Fall is just around the corner and I am soooo excited! I'm preparing for this seasons fall trends and I'm here to share the ones I have seen and worn with y'all.

1) Stripes

Stripes this year are all the rage. Forget looking like a prisoner (some people might say), stripes are totally in this season and I'm pretty sure I own more than 5 striped pieces in my wardrobe. Whether the stripes are vertical or horizontal, dress, top, or pants, they can add so much to an outfit. That's why I love this Maroon Forever 21 t-shirt dress so much. I kind of use it as a shirt and wear leggings under it with a cute pair of boots or sandals. You can also layer it with a jean jacket or a pleather jacket if you'd like.

2) Maroon

I also mentioned maroon (a deep dark purple-y red if you don't know), which is also a very very popular color worn for this time of year. I don't know where it came from but, why didn't this color ever exist in the fashion world?? haha. I feel like nobody ever wore this color and now it's became a total trend. Trends seem to always come back and evolve I guess.

3) Tunics

As I was saying, trends always seem to come back, tunics (long shirts), are coming back as well! I have been wearing so many, especially this Cooperative Summer Tee that I love so much. They are great with leggings and jeans and can be layered as well.

4)High-rise Jeggings

Jeggings are my go-to pants for this season. Since they're half jeans and half-leggings, who wouldn't buy them?? They're the most comfortable faux jeans in the world and they look like jeans! Mine are the American Eagle Hi-Rise Jegging and I love them to death! They're super stylish and go with everything! I love pairing them with long sweaters and flowy tops.

5) Collared/turtle neck tees

So one thing that I was very surprised to come back was turtle necks but, in tee form. The collar is back. I'm still deciding whether I like the look on me yet but, I love this grey Cooperative tee I mentioned above from Urban Outfitters. It's light and flattering and totally able to be layered.

6) Saddlebags

Every season I pick out a new saddlebag. I like the versatility, the shape, the look, and the space. Oh, and the shoulder strap of course, that always comes in handy. I was not able to find a link to the bag I have above however I have found one style and price comparable here UO Messenger Bag. I love how my bag and any saddle bag can dress up a casual look. Clean and sophisticated.

7) Cat-eyed Sunglasses

Sunglasses like these have finally made their way back from the 50s. Whether it's a full on cat-eye or a subtle cat-eyed pair like mine above, they always add a bit off "attitude", if you know what I mean. My pair, Forever 21 Cat Eye Sunglasses, are so cute! They go with anything and everything and shape your face and flatters it. What more could ya need?

8) Slip-on Canvases

Oh my gosh. My favorite piece of all time. My shoes. My Vans. The Perforated Vans are my favorite pair of sneakers you could imagine. They come in multiple styles and colors and can be worn with anything. They are also pretty comfy, a little hard to break in but, well worth it in the end. I wear these normally with rolled up jeans, capris, and leggings. Especially going on trips I love to wear these so I can easily slip them off in security and on the plane if I want to. I highly recommend these shoes more than converse. For a little bit more money, your paying for a better quality, better looking, and an awesome shoe to show off to all of your bffs.

9) Bracelet Stacking

As a highschooler, I am open to many trends and I have recently been noticing bracelet stacking to the EXTREME. With Lokai bracelets (I did a post on them here Lokai Bracelet Review and Purpose) and Alex and Ani Bracelets, Alex and Ani. I feel like bracelets and bangles always add the final touch to an outfit and I love wearing my bangles and Lokai with pretty much everything!

10) Watches

My rose gold watch is my all time favorite watch to wear. Especially since it's ROSE GOLD. Every one is back into watches and you don't have to pay very much for one either. They are totally in this year and sometimes I forget I'm even wearing a watch and ask people what time it is!

Is there any trend I missed? Leave comments below!

1) E.l.f. Contouring Blush and Bronzer Palette

$

This is one of my absolute favorite bronzing palettes. It's so cheap and it is great quality. Comparable to the Nars Laguna Bronzer palettes and blushes, this is a very close second. For only $3 you get a blush AND a bronzer. What more could you want? I recommend this to anyone starting out with makeup. They have three other shades in the line as well.

2) Benefit's Hoola Bronzer

$$$

Taking a leap to the more expensive range, is my favorite high end brand bronzer. This is the perfect bronze shade that isn't too orange-y and it isn't that dark either. I normally use this every time I wear makeup and it never slides down my face during the day. It's a great bronzer and I recommend investing in this one!

3) Maybelline's Fit Me Blush

$

Another drugstore brand blush I love is Maybelline's. They have the perfect shades and great pigmentation. I got Light Rose 102 (shown above) and it's the perfect pink for a light frosty glow! I couldn't be more happier with it.

4) Milani Baked Blush Shimmer

$$

Now this is a bit more pricey blush but, not as bad as Benefit's. It's about $10 and I gotta say, this is the best baked blush I have ever tried. For one thing, it's vegan. So, awesome. And the next, it has gold shimmer in it! It's the perfect color (03 Berry Amore) for a wintery or even summery look! It's very opaque and the formula, especially for a baked blush that's vegan, is fantastic!

5) NYX Powder Blush

$

This is a great travel blush. I recently got back into using this blush and I don't know why I stopped! I got it in Terra Cotta and it's a gold-ish, mauve color. It gives a great tan glow on my cheeks and I love the color pay off. This is also a great starter blush if you're looking for cheaper makeup. This blush also has bits of shimmer in it for all of your shimmer needs! I am gonna make sure I go back to the NYX section again to try more!

These were my favorite blushers and bronzers this month. Are there any others I need to try???
