A Preppy Girl's Guide To: Surviving Winter

 Like it says in my bio, I got to school in Mississippi, and it can get pretty chilly there. Throughout my first start of winter while at college, I was able to dress how I pleased(other than dressing to my academy's dress code). I quickly learned that big sorority shirts and fleece-lined leggings would become my newest best friends. I already had a black monogrammed northface, but I have recently invested in a Columbia vest and a pull-over Patagonia. Being from Florida, I had a pair of black riding boots and a shorter brown pair. I quickly bought tall brown riding boots and a pair of khaki "cowgirl" boots. I have recently fallen in love with crew socks, fuzzy socks, and colorful knee-high socks. Gray and white knee-high socks are my go-to for my black boots, and oatmeal is my go-to for my brown boots. Scarf are a definite must, especially when the wind picks up. I find that during winter, I carry extra gloves and lotions and chapsticks around in my bag, and because of that I opt for a larger tote bag. And as always, Starbucks hot green tea is a must!

What is in My Makeup Bag

    Since I haven't posted since August because of how hectic college is, I decided to start posting again! What is a better way to ring in the NewYear than showing y'all what is currently in my makeup bag. Being home for Christmas break, I have kept my makeup look the same, and I have made a collage of all of the makeup currently residing in my makeup bag. I have sensitive, oily skin and so I usually opt for concealer and my clinique powder for an everyday look. I rarely use the tarte liquid foundation, but when I do use it, it stays in place and has great coverage! I recently got the Naked 3 palette for Christmas and I have been absolutely loving it! I use a felt tip eyeliner when I do my top lid(usually with a wing) & I have recently been using Urban Decay's Big Fatty mascara. This mascara works great but is a pain to take off. I switch up my blushes depending on my mood, but I usually use either my Hervana or a NARS blush. I religiously use my NARS Laguna bronzer and my Sugar Fresh lip balm everyday. Enjoy!
