1 Dress 2 Ways

There is just something so great about seeing a piece of clothing in a store or online and immediately thinking about all the outfits you can make with it. This dress from H&M has quickly stole my heart for its versatility and unique print, and I have so many styling ideas for it. Dresses can be an underrated part of the fall and winter wardrobe, but with a few tweaks this staple can be carried through all the way to spring! I love finding pieces that can be styled in different ways, because you get the most cost per wear out of the product.

Weekly Low Down

This week was not as eventful as previous ones, but regardless some great things have been happening. It seems like it isn't fall anymore, so winter has starting creeping in and with it, all the holiday preparations. I can't wait to put up my tree after Thanksgiving, because then I'll really feel the Christmas vibes. The weather is changing which means so is style, beauty, and skincare. Now is the time to switch your routine and find new more wintery day-to-day activities. I have a new skincare routine coming to the blog soon along with much more winter and holiday content, so stay tuned.

Abercrombie & Fitch: 50% off Sale Picks

You can imagine my surprise to check my email this morning and find out that Abercrombie was offering 50% off on select styles, and it's not even Black Friday yet! Abercrombie & Fitch happens to be one of my favorite stores to shop from, and I have been shopping with them for over 15 years! Holy moly that makes me sound old...I'm not even 27 yet okay! But anyways, after browsing, browsing some more, and then placing an order, it occurred to me that I should share this sale with you guys.

Gift Guide #3: The Beauty Junkie

I really wanted to make this post different from recent ones that I have done related to my favorite beauty buys, I think the holidays are the time to really step up and add a unique flare to your makeup look and there are always wonderful limited edition products on the market around the holidays. Personally, I would love to receive any of these as a gift, and think any beauty obsessed girl would too!

Gift Guide #2: Style Obsessed

Do you have that person in your life whose style you seriously envy? Do you just end up going to them again and again for fashion advice and they always look chic, even in pajamas. Well, I thought I would create a gift guide for that style obsessed gal pal or loved one in your life. I have broken it down into splurge and budget sections, so I have choices for everyone!

The 4 Best Photo Editing Apps for Instagram

Here we go with another start to another week, can you believe Thanksgiving is next week!? I can't. Before you know it, it'll be December. I thought it would interesting to talk about the photo editing apps I use for my Instagram photos, because why not. These are the apps that are my favorites, and I even use some of them everyday for my posts.

Recent Beauty Buys

I needed a couple beauty bits to replenish my collection, but I was also feeling a little spendy this week so this is the inevitable result. This is a combination of both Sephora and Walgreens hauls. I would love to do another post in the future letting you know what I thought of each product almost like a review post if your interested. What has been your favorite beauty buy lately? Because I'm nosey and I want to know!

Nordstrom Sale Picks

This weekend Nordstrom is having a huge sale on many of it brands and the discounts are up to 40% off! You know I had to pick out my favorite items and put together my wish list for the sale. I hope you enjoy browsing as much as I did putting this together. All these items I could see working into my wardrobe because they are great staple pieces that will work for years to come. There are a lot of shoes, because I couldn't help myself, page after page I just kept seeing more and more that I liked. Let me know if you like any of these items and what you plan on buying during this crazy awesome sale in the comments below! 

Weekly Low Down

The first week of November has come and gone and it feels like Christmas is creeping closer and closer (even if it is inch by inch). So many people are talking about how their Christmas trees are already up and their holiday decorations are all set...IT'S NOT EVEN THANKSGIVING YET! This may be perceived as blasphemous coming out of the mouth of a blogger, but for me and my house, it just seems a little early. It appears like people are decorating earlier and earlier every year. Next thing you know the Halloween decorations are going to start bleeding into winter wonderland territory, but I digress. I don't want to get on a rant, because let's face it, the decorations are gorgeous, and it's an individual's choice when to put up their own decorations. This week there was a couple of things of note that I thought was worth mentioning, so let's crack into it!

Gift Guide #1: The best gifts for $25 and under

I decided to start the gift guides off with a more affordable option for those that may be on a budget or might be looking to be more fiscally responsible. All these items are either $25 or less, and I think they would be great gifts! As the holiday season goes on, I will continue to update all the gift guides, just in case things are sold out or if I find new things that I think you guys might like. If you have any items that you think should be on here or just any questions in general, please let me know in the comments below. I think these are all great budget options and I even found some brand names at affordable prices too!

Review of Xcaret Park in Cancun, Mexico

While in Mexico, my mom and I got to leave the resort and go to Tulum (you can find my blog post here) and Xcaret, a Mayan centered theme park. We ended up going to the part during the Day of the Dead holiday festivities and got to watch a special show that only occurs once a year on November 1st. We only ended up booking the excursion for a half day, so we arrived at the park around 3:30pm and were there until 9:40pm.

October Fashion Favorites

Chillier temps in New Hampshire this time of year compared to the upwards of 90 degree weather I experienced in Mexico made this past month's fashion favorites a jumble of two seasons. If you are going on vacation anytime soon or live in a warmer climate, some of these may suit you just fine. Even if you aren't it is always great to stock up for next year! Don't worry though, the majority of these are my fall fashion favorites and work well with the weather changes we are about to see!

How to Keep Going When You Feel Like You Hit a Dead End

Sometimes it can feel like your in a rut or like you don't know where to go from where you are at, but that's okay! I want to share a couple ways I think help me feel inspired and find a new route from the dead end (because in reality you can always just turn around or cut through..am I right!?).

Tulum: Mayan Ruins Photo Diary

This past Saturday I just returned back home from a trip to Mexico with my mom. The weather was so amazing the entire time, and we got to see some great things while we were there. One of my favorite parts of the trip had to be going into the city of Tulum and seeing the Mayan ruins. Growing up in New England I have seen my fair share of historical sites, but this was much different. Not only did I get to learn about and see the history of the Mayans at Tulum, I also got to experience a completely different culture in Mexico. 

October Beauty Favorites

I can't believe October is already over and Halloween has past, where has the time gone!? November is going to be one of my more exciting months because not only is it Thanksgiving, but the last day of the month is actually my birthday. I'm going to be a whole 27 years young! But before I get to carried away with what's to come, lets have a review of the beauty items I loved last month.

The Cold Weather Accessories You Need This Winter

Now that it is November, its a slippery slope before the weather starts getting colder and before you know it, its already Christmas! No, I don't think I'm getting carried away and here's why. Before I left for Mexico it was literally 35 degrees where I live! As in Fahrenheit people...a couple degrees lower and it would be snowing! So before we get buried in the snow and the weather shifts, now is the time to stock up on all your cold weather cozies!

Weekly Low Down

This week has been amazing to say the least. My mom and I have been in Mexico since last Saturday and we have gotten to experience so many new things and see some pretty cool places. I have so much travel content headed your way soon, so make sure you stay tuned or subscribe to my daily content either via Google+ or Bloglovin. I have had such a fun week that all I want to do is crash on the couch with a nice glass of red wine and watch all the holiday movies, who's with me? These are the things that I have been most excited about this week, what was the highlight of your week?

Loft Halloween Sale

I can't believe the October is already over, where has the time gone? One of my favorite stores is doing a crazy deal right now for $50 off of $100! The Loft has always had stylish pieces that I feel like I can incorporate into my wardrobe rather easy. They offer a balance between quality and fast fashion which is the reason why it makes it one of my favorite places to shop. For this reason, I thought I would do a post on my top picks for the special holiday sale. Using the code: MYSTERY50, you can get $50 off $100 until 11/01! So hurry up, because this deal won't last for long, and this is a great deal. Like go now! I won't judge. Click on some of my favorites if you like them to, to check them out!

6 Fashion Travel Essentials

One of my favorite things to do is travel and see new places, as I write this right now I am in Mexico. It's the worst when you get to your destination and realized you don't have everything that you need. I always have that lingering feeling that I'm leaving something behind, and almost alway there is something that I didn't bring that I could have used. Let's be real, it sucks when you forget something, and for that reason, I thought I would share with you the 6 items I have appreciated bringing with me to Mexico.

My College Journey

Let's start this story with the fact that yes, it did take 8 years for me to get my Bachelors degree, and no it wasn't part time. With that being said I did change my mind about what I wanted to do a couple times. In order for this to make sense, lets travel back to a time around 8 years ago when I was graduating high school. It was the time of Rhianna ad Eminem collabs, Simon Cowell leaving American Idol (Do people still watch that show?), and the Angry Bird boom. Okay are you there with me? If you need to take a second to refresh your memory its okay, click here for a flashback (let's talk about how I realized the people in the video are Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox...)! Okay, now that we are on the same page, lets crack into it shall we.

In Flight Essentials

Have you ever made a Sephora order and stocked up on the free samples and minis only to wonder what the heck you would use them for? Well look no further, these are the perfect size to bring on a plane with you and and are great because they are one use then you can get rid of them (and they're free so why not right!?).

J.Crew Sale Picks

Sound the alarms, J. Crew is having a sale on everything and it ranges from 25% to 40% off!! If you use the promo code BRRR, you can get a discount on everything. So, I decided to pick out a couple of my favorites from their website before the sale disappears.

Weekly Low Down

While your reading this, if your reading it when its posted, I will either be in the air on the way to Mexico or in Mexico, cue the excited roar. This week has had a couple things that I was beyond ecstatic about and I can't wait to share the highlights. I think this type of post will become a regular thing after October if I continue with daily blogging. I really enjoy creating content everyday and never thought I would be able to do it! The month is almost over, I started on the 3rd, and I haven't missed a day yet!

Ways to Style The Animal Print Trend

The animal print trend is in full force right now and happens to be one of my favorite fall 2018 trends. The prints I have been obsessing over are snake and leopard. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll probably have seen all the outfits I have been putting together lately and are keen on my slightly over the top obsession. I thought I would dedicate a post to the trend because a lot of people have asked me where the items I purchased are from.

Sephora Beauty Insider Event Picks

I got very excited when I looked in the mailbox the other day, because I found an envelope from Sephora meaning only one thing, a beauty insider event is happening! Sephora is holding their Beauty Insider Event this weekend and they are calling it Holiday Bonus. It starts Friday October 26th-29th (for VIB ROUGE) and resumes November 2nd-5th. For VIB members the sales starts November 9th and goes through the 12th. For Beauty Insiders, the sale starts November 16th and ends November 19th, however they only get 15% off.

The 3 Things Your Doing That Can Ruin Your Day

Have you ever woken up and taken on a couple tasks but already considered it to be a bad day? There are some pretty common things that people do that can set them up for a positive day or cluttered day. These are things that I have found to be true to me and my life. They might not true to everyone, but I thought I would share them just in case they are and you were looking for ways to improve your day.

Shop My Instagram

I have so many new outfits posted to my Instagram feed so I thought I could dedicate today's blog post to my Instagram and how you can get the same outfit or at least a similar look. I have been obsessed with sweaters and destroyed denim but I'm also all about how to be as comfy as possible.
With fall weather in full swing and winter on the way I'm also adding layers as the temperatures get colder. I hope you enjoy this post and let me know in the comments below what outfit was your favorite.

My Pamper Routine Essentials

Taking a moment for yourself every once in a while is key not only to feeling comfortable in your skin but being happy in your everyday life. I find sometimes it takes a day dedicated to myself to snap me back to reality and make me ready to take on life. I always feel better when I'm comfortable and refreshed, and I have a couple hacks to get me there quick but also items to incorporate into a whole day of pampering!

The Coats You Need This Fall and Winter

I happened to do a post a couple days ago on my 5 favorite styles of boots this fall (you can read it by clicking here), and you guys really seemed to like it so I decided to do a similar post but for coats and jackets. The temperature is dropping and we are starting to see cooler weather where I live, so I feel like this post is perfect timing! Now is a better time than any to buy a fall and winter coat so you are prepared for cooler weather, and you'll get your pick of the newest outerwear on the market.

Let Curiosity Lead Adventure

Have you ever felt like you wanted to do something adventurous, but soon after thought of reasons and excuses as to why it wouldn't work? What about being curious of something, but feeling bogged down by your perceptions of how others will react? Curiosity is what allows you to learn and grow as a person, and you should never allow anyone else to extinguish your curiosity or sense of adventure. In a sense, I think this is why childhood is so idealized in our culture, children are willing to be curious and adventurous without the fear of others' perceptions.

Everyday Fall Makeup Look

This week I got my Sephora order and I was so inspired to experiment and play around with my new makeup and the items I have had in my collection for a while now. I was really looking forward to using the new Anastasia of Beverly Hill's Sultry Palette and finding new looks that incorporated that into my day to day routine. I love the finished look and think that this palette will be a wonderful addition to my daily makeup routine. This makeup look was achieved with 10 different items, all of which I really enjoy using and can't wait to tell you about.

5 Styles of Boots You Need This Fall

The weather is getting cooler outside, the sandals are getting packed away, and the boots and booties are starting to come out of our closets. If your looking to purchase new boots this season there are so many great options and trends to choose from. There are many styles of boots on the market right now but there are 5 styles that I think everyone should have in their closet for fall and winter.

My 5 Favorite Netflix Shows

I have recently found a whole new love and appreciation for Netflix and all the amazing shows it has on offer. Nothing is better than a rainy day on the weekend, a nice big bowl of popcorn, and a Netflix marathon while kicking your feet up and cuddling up. I have loved so many shows in the past and this list doesn't include all the ones I have seen, but these are the ones that I have watched recently for the first time or again for the second time.

Beauty Haul: Sephora and Birchbox

Last week I posted a Sephora wish list that you can find here: Sephora Wish list. While I was searching for items that sparked my curiosity and interest I couldn't help but add items to my cart and keep shopping as all the new and shiny things kept popping up on my screen. I got a little spendy but I don't think I went over board considering Sephora happens to be one of those kryptonite stores for me.

The Grass Isn't Always Greener

I wanted to hop on the blog today and talk about social media and how it can appear like other's lives are absolutely perfect by looking at their curated feeds on Instagram or their blogs. In the social media space it may seem like you know everything about a person because they share their life everyday, but you have to realize that the majority of the time it's almost like that is their highlight reel.

Shop My Instagram

I have posted so many outfit photos recently on my Instagram and thought I would share them on the blog and let you shop where they are from. With the changing of the seasons I have switched up my wardrobe and picked up so many pieces to wear for fall. If you want to see daily outfit posts, my Intagram is updated everyday and you can find it here: @whosthemo.

5 Reasons I Love October

To say October is my favorite month would be an understatement. I literally love everything about it from the start of fall to the change in style. I feel like just when I'm starting to get tired of the warm summer weather October rolls around and everything fall just falls in your lap. I live in New Hampshire and every fall the change of seasons is so aesthetic and sudden. The leaves start to change color and fall off the trees, and the cooler weather brings a change in wardrobe that I get beyond excited about. I have 5 reasons that I really love October and just fall in general and I thought I'd talk about them in this post.

Let's Chat!

Happy Saturday everyone! This is going to a short and sweet post, but I thought I would jump on here and fill you in on the wonderful things that have been going through my mind lately. So I have decided to start a new chapter in my life and gave my two week notice at my job a week and a half ago. I no longer found happiness going to work everyday and saw it more as a chore than something that I had a real passion for. If you know me, you probably know that I get bored pretty easily, so when something isn't maintaining my attention or I am not getting challenged in the right ways I loose interest (typical millennial I know..I can literally hear the eye rolls).

My Sephora Wish List

In the process of making this blog post I may have done some damage and purchased somethings that I'm pretty excited about. I can do a mini Sephora haul when my items come in the mail next Tuesday, if your interested let me know in the comments below. I haven't shopped Sephora's website in a while and thought it was time to browse the site because I was looking for things to bring with me on vacation later this month. There are so many new things that caught my eye and I couldn't help but share my wish list with you guys. I noticed that Sephora just started to carry Charlotte Tilbury, Voluspa, Mount Lai, Kerastase, and Jouer Cosmetics! So many great new brands and I can't wait to try them out. Many of the holiday sets are already out and ready for purchase and I found a couple that I have my eye on already, but I will wait to do a holiday gift guide with those.

What to do on a Rainy Day

If your looking for things to do on a rainy day, look no further. Today is my first day off of work in while and of course its raining, but I'm not complaining because I have so many rainy day ideas. Have you ever woken up ready for the day and looked outside and thought, well I guess I'm not going anywhere today? Well if you have, then your probably like me and need some ideas for things to do inside when its raining outside.

September Lifestyle and Fashion Favorites

I recently posted my 5 Fall Outfit Staples where I detailed the 5 items I will be wearing on repeat this fall. Many of my fashion favorites for September were listed in that post, so if your interested you can give it a read here. I do have a couple more fashion favorites but this post will consist mostly of lifestyle things that I loved in the month of September. September was still a pretty warm month but once fall hits I can't help myself and I have to start wearing sweaters and boots!

Q&A-Part 2

As I sit here cuddled up with the dogs watching the first season of Friends I thought I would finish this post and ask you what character you think you most resemble on the show (if you have watched it...If not go watch it!!). I think I’m a Monica because I am type A and competitive. This is the second portion of the Q&A I posted a couple days ago. If you are interested, you can find that post here.

Life Lessons My Dogs Have Taught Me

Nothing is more satisfying than coming home and being greeted at the door by my three fur babies. That's right, I have three dogs! Kipper is the sweetest little maltese mix that just wants to cuddle all the time. Chancey is the big, lazy beefcake and he is black mouth cur, pitbull mix. Ophelia is the newest addition to our family and she is just a ball of energy 24/7. She just turned 1 year old at the end of August and still has all the energy of a puppy. Having dogs can teach you many things including but not limited to responsibility. However, this post isn't going to be about how my dogs have taught me responsibility. These are other lessons that at the time may have pissed me off beyond belief, but looking back they were both what I needed to get out of my head and valuable lessons I will carry through out my entire life (especially when I have kids in the future).

Morning Skincare Routine

The cooler weather has finally arrived and I can't wait to do all the outdoor activities that fall brings. Taking care of myself and my skin is super important to me and keeps me feeling happy and healthy. I have been following the same skincare regimen for almost 4 months now and I will say, I have seen a noticeable difference in my skin. I don't tend to get a lot of acne, however my skin does get red and irritated on my nose and cheeks often. The texture of my skin doesn't tend to be very smooth either but exfoliation does help. Just like everyone else I have good skin days and bad skin days, but following this routine has made my skin a lot more normal and balanced. With almost everything in life, repetition and consistency is important. Keeping with a routine allows for success at least when it comes to my skin.

Columbus Day Sales Picks

This coming Monday is Columbus Day, growing up this just meant that we had a long weekend off of school. However, as an adult I find myself more excited about the sales going on this weekend. I have picked out some of my favorites from a couple of my favorite places to shop and hope you enjoy browsing my picks.

Q & A- Part 1

I have decided to answer a couple of commonly asked questions so that you guys can get to know me a little better. I really want to make this blog an open community where we can share and ask each other questions, so here goes…

September Beauty Favorites

Let's just preface by saying that I can't believe its already October. I'm not complaining at all, considering fall is my favorite season, but where did the summer go? September was still pretty warm here so I didn't wear foundation at all. It was a month that I didn't fuss too much with beauty products and stuck on the more simpler side by not wearing much makeup. I only really wore mascara, filled in my brows, and slapped on some lip gloss or balm. This beauty favorites is going to be short and sweet, with the items that I actually used every single day.

Happy October and Here we go with Blogtober

Good afternoon everyone! Even though it is already October 3rd, I have decided to do "Blogtober" for the rest of the month. This means that there will be 30 blog posts in the month of October after this one. So get ready for some amazing content every day and don't forget to follow or subscribe to my blog so you don't miss a post. I am going to try and get a blog post up everyday and sometimes even more than 1 a day to catch up for missing the beginning of the month. If you can think of any content you would like me to cover please let me know in the comments below. This is going to be the most I have ever blogged in a short period of time, so I am interested to see how I do! I have always wanted to try my hand at daily blogging so here we go! October happens to be one of my favorite months because of the shift to fall, Halloween, and I just so happen to be going to Mexico this month so I have a bunch to write about!

Have a great day,

Morgan
