Stylish Halloween Look for fashion babes like me. If you are into fashion and style this is the type of Halloween look for you. I actually got this idea watching this on youtube. I tried as much as I can to make it look like the one on the video but hey. I am not a make up artist 🙂 and plus I really did not get the chance to get all the accessories he listed below. But honestly, I do believe I will be able to make it look like his work If I did have all the things I needed. What do you think about my make up skills here and my resourcefulness? I would love for you to give me a rating from 0-5 on make up skills.

Watch the link below to see how it is done and all the links to where to get the make ups and accessories are listed there too.

Jordan Liberty is such a talent! Fell in love with this one and to see more of him. Follow him on instagram at @jordanliberty.

I hope I was able to give you some last minute Halloween Ideas. Happy Monday and have a fantastic week ahead.

Another grey color scheme here for me. Have you noticed that I have been wearing this color so much lately. It is a neutral color therefore it can be paired with anything. It is just so simple yet it is such a classy color for fall outfits. It is just like a diamond that was just polished and it got its luster. But even though I have been wearing grey very so often it has different styles that makes it unique. Just like this previous post here with the big bow and here with a 3/4 sleeve button down shirt.

This zip neck sweater tunic is so comfy and light and can also be paired with OTK’s too. It is just so stylish that it also has those 2 cute pockets in the front. The zip neck is just so gorgeous and it just added and edgy touch to the style. It is just a simple but chic look you would want to try. So I paired it with my favorite bag and booties that I have been wearing a lot lately too.

Happy Friday to all and stay tuned to my Halloween post this weekend and were I got that make up idea.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend to all as I know I will have as my husband and I are celebrating our 10th year wedding anniversary today. We are just staying local just a staycation for the two of us.

Happy Monday! Another simple outfit inspiration for all of you. There are a lot of simple fall casual look that you can wear. I chose the brown color scheme as it is an earth tone and perfect fall color. You can actually elevate this look by adding a scarf or you can also add a hat. Wearing and over the knee boots like this one will also add chicness to your fall casual style. This look you can wear strolling the mall, hanging out with friends to get some coffee. Also attending a blogger meet up.

I would have loved to attend the style collective sisters meet up in Alexandria, VA earlier today but I was scheduled to work because I will be off this Friday to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary. This should have been my outfit for the meet up.

How about you? What are your fall casual staples? Share it with me through the comments below. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and stay warm and take all the vitamins. As this change of season is also the season for getting sick.

Have a wonderful week ahead!

It really is sweater weather and OTk’s season already. This are some of the fall staples you should already have in your closet to keep you cozy this season. I have shopped a lot of sweaters from Tjmaxx and this is just one of them. Just to change the feel of black and grey I have paired this olive green sweater with my black jeans and OTK. Another one of my favorite fall color combo. You can just never go wrong with them together.

If you are on the not so tall side. These OTK’s are for you as it already will make your legs longer because of the color and together with the added wedge heels. The over sized sweater as well will make that impression. Like I have said before that darker colors will keep you warm.

Also, another benefit of wearing OTK’s with the sweater is that it will instantly elevate your simply looks to chic! Do you agree? The simpleness of the sweater plus the classiness of the Boots altogether is already perfect style. So make sure to shop these items and make room for them in your closet.

TGIF!! What are your plans this weekend? We have experienced the Indian summer here in the mid-Atlantic region and it felt like summer for a week. It will be back to the upper 60’s this weekend. Thank you all for visiting my blog and for commenting and have a lovely weekend to all of you.

Apple and Pumpkin Picking

October 14, 2016 No Comments

ON ADI: T SHIRT SIMILAR HERE/JEANS/ CROCS SHOES

ON AIDAN: LONG SLEEVE SHIRT SIMILAR HERE/ SWEATPANTS/ CROCS SHOES

Adi said she was very happy she was able to pick her own apples. When we went for apple picking it was the day after my birthday (mid September) and the weather was very nice that is why we were all wearing T-shirts here. For right now, since the weather is getting cold. This is one of my favorite looks from Fall last year. This (the picture below) is something I would wear for apple or pumpkin picking now because the weather is colder.

PONCHO (OLD) SIMILAR HERE AND HERE/ BOOTIES (OLD) SIMILAR HERE AND HERE

Apple and pumpkin picking are some of the fall activities we enjoy doing as a family during fall. It is fun for everyone and we all feel like a child when we do these things. Like right now, Aidan is really appreciating more of what we do because he can understand now more of what is happening around him. Another thing that I would suggest to do this fall is visit a place with a lot of foliage. If you live in the east coast like I do you probably have mountains like our Shenandoah Valley where you can enjoy the view and play with the foliage. This was our Foliage experience last year here.

How about you? Do you have any fall activities that you do that you are always excited about during this time of the year? Please share on the comments below as I am always open to try new things and do it with my family.

Thank you for visiting my page and for all your comments. Happy weekend to all of you! In case You have topics you would want me to talk about feel free to let me know or email me directly here at iannemcabangon@gmail.com

The weather is really getting colder and the sunset is getting earlier. Coffee is on high demand again so as a basic casual grey and blacks combo outfit. Why did I say that? Darker color gives warmth and adding coffee make you even more comfy and cozy.

I wore this outfit as a basic casual wear. Accompanying Adi to her gymnastics class and ran some errands with the family. Wearing 3/4 sleeves is another simple style that is classic, I added this chained detailed booties to add more cool to the look. The boots I am wearing here are really comfy. As you all have noticed, I love wearing heels. That has always been my dream but with my profession as a physical therapist. I couldn’t wear them at work. You will see my wearing scrub suits and tennis shoes as my work wear. That is why when I go out that is where I dress up like this.

In this look, you can also add a trench coat if the temperature suddenly drops. I would wear this or this to add more chic in this look. You can never go wrong adding a light weight trench coat to your look. I also added this cute cross body bebe bag to add some pops of color to break the monotonous color. As you all know me, I love me some pops of color but not the loud ones. It just adds a smile to my face to see happy colors. That is just one reflection of my personality.

Have a fabulous day to all of you and thank you for stopping by and for all your comments.

Happy Friday! Are you like me who loves wearing animal prints every now and then? I just fell in love with this python print from Michael kors as it really is a chic print.

What are your favorite fall color?

This look I would say is a chic casual. It is simple but yet classy at the same style. Also wearing here is one of my invest piece from my wardrobe the Christian Louboutin pumps which you can never go wrong. The heel height of this shoe is just right and will not hurt your feet.

May all of you have a wonderful weekend. Thank you all for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.
