Friday Favorites: Fall Television Roundup

Hey guys! I have some Friday Favorites for you today. Today I'm sharing my five favorite New Fall Shows that premiered awhile ago. I know it's been awhile since they first came out, but it made me realize which ones are my favorites (aka which ones you must watch).

Jane The Virgin

This is a must watch. This is a great article that kind of sums up everything wonderful about it but I'll tell you why I love it. First off, Gina Rodriguez (who plays Jane) is fantastic. She excels in this role and her performance is so wonderful. I also love that despite being this over the top plot, it's so believable because the characters have so much depth. It's also done by the same people who worked on the show Pushing Daisies which is one of my favorite shows of all time. It's unique and funny and touching and definitely something that everyone needs to watch! 

Marry Me

I'll start off by saying Casey Wilson is one of my favorite people, ever. You might remember her for her season on SNL and I was so sad to see her go but then she popped up as the hilarious Penny on Happy Endings, which ended up being another one of my favorite shows. She stars now on Marry Me with Ken Marino (another fave - Party Down anyone?) which was developed by the same creator as Happy Endings. It's hilarious and Casey Wilson is absolutely incredible. Watch it! 

How to Get Away With Murder

Shonda has done it again. If you're a fan of Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, or Private Practice, then you'll love this. It's such a great, twisty crime show and the characters are fantastic. It's really enjoyable, mindless fun as well. Plus Dean Thomas from Harry Potter plays Wes and Viola Davis will blow your mind with how good she is! Love this show!

In addition to all these shows, I watch a bunch more each season. I love TV so much so I try to inhale as much as I can!

New Blue / Ootd

Got an outfit of the day for you with a new dress I picked up from Urban Outfitters. It's a great winter dress and pairs perfect with tights!

A Bit of Pink

Pink is probably my favorite color; I have the bed sheets and notebooks and knick knacks to prove it. The thing is, I don't really ever wear pink. There might be a bit of pink in a floral top I have but I think the only pink thing I own is a winter dress that I barely wear. I also am not prone to wearing pink lipstick or eyeshadow either. I decided to give that a change once I got the new Too Faced Everything Nice Holiday Palette since it has quite a few really beautiful pinky shades that I couldn't resist trying out.

I love how it turned out (especially the slight ombre effect) and I think pink should be something I experiment a lot more with!

To Create This Look:

New In: Too Faced Everything Nice Holiday Palette

I've got a new product to talk about today and it's one that I've been eyeing ever since it was announced as a special holiday palette. It's the Too Faced 'Everything Nice (that's what pretty girls are made of)' Palette and it's gorgeous. It's from their Christmas Collection and retails for $56, with a value of $450. I must say, the price is right. 

The palette comes with 20 eyeshadows, one bronzer, two blushes, and one illuminating powder as well as three mini brushes, a mini mascara, and a makeup bag. 

I'm going to talk about each product included in the palette along with swatches and photos of everything. Keep reading if you want to learn more about this palette.

Winter Friendly Makeup

Although I adore winter weather, it also means dry skin, chapped lips, and bitter wind that makes your eyes water. With the colder months in full swing at this point (at least where I am) it's the time to change up beauty routines in order to combat the damage done to your skin by winter.

Today I'm going to share with you my picks for the best winter friendly makeup products that will keep your skin healthy and hydrated and also keep you looking put together in the wintry months! I'll also share with you this makeup look using those hydrating products.

In general you should keep both your body and your skin fully hydrated. Having a glass of water as soon as you wakeup is a great way to jumpstart your skin for the day. Before I do my makeup, I wash my face and then moisturize my skin. Post moisturizing, I wait about 15 minutes for it to settle into the skin before I start applying makeup. 

Here are my picks for the best 'winter friendly' makeup products (that I currently own).

A Saturday at Bryant Park / In Pictures

I hope everyones had a fun weekend! Mine was especially wonderful as my best friend was visiting from Massachusetts. She's been to New York many many times so it's always fun when she comes because we have fun exploring the city together and going to our favorite places. One of those favorite places is Bryant Park, especially during the holiday season. The ice rink is put up and they have a wonderful Christmas village spread across the whole park, with little shops and food places. It's such a wonderful and beautiful place to just walk around with a coffee. We even saw a couple do their 'first look' - which is when the bride and groom see each other and see the dress before the wedding - it was so beautiful!

I thought I'd share with you some pictures of our day in the park. Hope you all enjoy and hope you had fun enjoying the changing of the seasons this weekend. 

A Pop of Color / Outfit of the Day

Happy Friday! Today I've got a quick Outfit of the Day, featuring a super cute kimono/robe that I've been loving. It's long-sleeved, so it's awesome for the Autumn and Winter months.
