This plaid skirt and turtleneck sweater combination is one of my favorite outfits for winter. It is warm and cozy, and perfect to wear for meetings, the office, and church on Sunday. Love that!

I originally purchased this plaid skirt for fashion week in early fall. I fell in love with it the first time I wore it. It is extremely comfortable, and the tie at the waist is very on trend for the season. I also love the plaid, which is easy to wear with any color combination. Of course, since I love black, I paired it with black, and a pop of blue.

This plaid skirt and turtleneck sweater combination is warm and cozy in the cold weather. I can walk outside in forty degree weather, without a coat, and feel comfortable. With a coat, it becomes a warm ensemble for when the temperature dip below forty.

I just purchased this White + Warren turtleneck sweater for the winter months. It is a classic turtleneck sweater which is extremely comfortable, cozy, and versatile. It works well with skirts for  a dressier look, and also jeans for an easy, casual look. When paired with a blanket scarf, no jacket is needed! I know I will wear it for many future winters!

This is definitely going to be my go-to outfit this winter when I need to look dressed up, and also stay warm!

These photos make me smile. It was just starting to rain outside, and my nine-year-old daughter wanted to take my picture. Since she didn’t want to get wet, my seven-year-old son held a giant umbrella over her so she could take pictures, and stay dry. It was the cutest thing! How often do siblings work together? They usually fight over who gets to do what!

I hope you are staying warm this winter. Thank you for stopping by, and stay fabulous!

Cosmetics c/o Borghese / Eye color palette: Eclissare Color Eclipse / Fango Purificante / Face Primer / Mascara / Eye Liner / Lip Gloss: Simmer / Lip Gloss: Spark / Lipstick: Grappa

 It is always fun to try new out new cosmetics. When I received a box containing an eye color palette, lip gloss, lipstick, and skin care products for a Borghese review, I was thrilled! I love the Fango clay products by Borghese, so trying out their makeup is a natural next step!

The Eclissare Color Eclipse color palette contains twelve eye shadow colors which are classic neutrals. I love the beautiful shades of brown, golden hues, and charcoal tones. It is easy to create casual eyes, daytime eyes, office appropriate eyes, and glam evening eyes with this color palette!

In addition to the Borghese Eclissare Color Eclipse eye shadow palette, I tested out Borghese’s Superiore Mascara, and Borghese’s Eclissare Color Eclipse eye liner. The mascara offers a smooth application without clumping, and the eye liner applies in a smooth straight line.

Borghese’s lip glosses offer a sheer color application with a slight sparkle, making them perfect for evening, or holiday parties. The lipstick in Grappa is a great winter wine which is easy to wear during the day or in the evening. For a glam evening look, the Simmer lip gloss applied over the Grappa lipstick makes a perfect night lip!

No-one likes clumpy or streaking makeup, therefore Borghese’s Face Primer is a must-have in every makeup bag. It offers a smooth base for foundation, or powder makeup. Love that!

Of course, the Fango face cleaner is fabulous! It is a clay cleaner which is great at gently removing air pollution, makeup, and natural oils which build up during the day.

Borghese has a large selection of cosmetics. You can find them online here, here, here, here, and here.
