What’s in my Make-Up Bag?

Hi friends! I have been so MIA lately, and I apologize for that!

Everything is starting to settle back down now and I have LOTS of exciting things coming to For the Love of Coffey on my blog and Instagram so make sure you are checking both places out!! 🙂

Fall Obsession: Olive

Hi beauties-

 

As all of us Florida bloggers are pretending it is really Fall, we are truly sweating our butts off shooting our favorite Fall attire. As fun as that sounds, I really wish we had a “true” Fall here. The chilly, crisp morning air and the changing colors in the leaves is something I  absolutely love, just the little things about Fall that make you feel right at home. Since I don’t have that here in hot, sunny Florida, I guess my Fall White Barn (aka Bath & Body Works) candles will do the trick. What is your favorite scent?! Mine is definitely Marshmallow Fireside. Nom nom! This outfit I am about to show you has neutrals in it…. but are you really surprised?! I wouldn’t be if I was you. I’m showing you one of my favorite basic tees, my new fav denim, and my absolutely staple piece for Fall, my olive military jacket. Are you ready!?

Black + Grey + Cognac

Hi everyone!

So sorry I’ve been MIA for the last week, I had a huge exam last Thursday I was studying for, and a busy busy busy weekend. Needless to say, I had a very LARGE cup of coffee this morning at work. I will be gone all weekend on vacation with lots and lots of cute outfits packed, so there will be lots of blog posts and inspiration coming soon. 🙂 can’t you tell, I am super duper excited! Like I have said in multiple posts, my obsession this fall is neutrals, as it should be. I love anything black, grey, or tan (and I always add in some olive or burgundy!) so you may see a lot of that this Fall. Sorry, not sorry 😉

Higher End vs Lower End

Helllllllllo everyone!

I’m sure everyone (like me) in Florida is up and preparing for this hell of a storm, aka Hurricane Matthew. I am just so thrilled, can’t you tell?! If we are being honest here, I am deathly afraid of storms like this, I don’t know why but my anxiety goes through the roof. 😛

Anyways, I did my first collage, and it was so much fun!! I put together some of my favorite products from booties & handbags to lipgloss. Some of my favorite high end products (some I do not have, because they are too expensive and I don’t have those funds…. yet! LOL) but most of the lower end products I do have because I can afford them. The title to this blog post was a little tricky because in no means do I mean these products are “lower end” but they are definitely more inexpensive and JUST AS NICE!! Just wanted to clarify that..

Fall Look During Summer Weather

Hey y’all, happy Monday! It is one of those Monday’s that I feel like I need an IV full of coffee.. too many sangrias & martinis yesterday. Can anyone relate?!

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend, I know I did. I wanted to do a blog post about my adventures, but I was having too much fun, so I didn’t take enough pictures. I know, so not like me, right?! A little recap though, Saturday I literally did nothing except wake up, make breakfast + drink coffee with my handsome fiancé while watching a movie, and then later in the day I had a photoshoot with my mom aka amazing photographer, and let me tell you, it felt great. It is nice to not have any plans for an entire day. Now yesterday, Sunday, we celebrated my dear friends birthday at a Winery in St. Augustine. We had an absolute blast, not to mention one of my besties flew in from Arizona for the week! So all in all, this weekend was great!

It is still hot as heck here in Florida, but it is officially Fall, so the struggle is real when I try to pick out cute, Fall outfits to wear. What I usually do is wear a shirt that falls under the summer/pre-fall category, and then I ALWAYS ADD BOOTIES. That’s how I try to achieve the “Fall look” during these summer lingering, incredibly hot months!! I wish we just had a little bit cooler weather here, sometimes it is truly miserable. 🙁

Must-Have Summer Two Piece

Hi hiiii beauties —

 

I have collaborated with SheIn once again with this adorable, summer two-piece look. While the Florida girls, like me, are holding onto summer for just a little bit longer, this adorable outfit would go perfect for a date night, GNO, or beach trip! I love the versatility of it by dressing it up or down. I also love the fact that it doesn’t show much skin. This was the second outfit that SheIn has sent me, and I have to admit, I am impressed with the material of them both. The two-piece is very thin material, but it is not see-through at all. It covers up everything that needs to be covered, so that’s a plus. I would definitely recommend this outfit to anyone, and that is my honest opinion. 🙂
