I love the cooler weather we have been enjoying this month. I bought this turtleneck sweater about a month ago, and am thrilled to be able to finally wear it! I love how classic and cozy turtleneck sweaters can be!

This turtleneck sweater will be a workhorse for me this fall season; and into the winter season! I love how it looks with skirts, skinny jeans, and flare jeans. It also looks amazing with my black culottes for dressier looks. You can see my culottes styled here.

Since I love this turtleneck sweater so much, I have decided I need one more in my wardrobe this season to keep cozy! I am looking at this red one, and this neutral one. Which one do you like?

I would also like to chat just a bit about these booties! I bought them back in August, and have been waiting for cool enough weather to wear them. I love fringe booties for fall, and this pair fits the bill. The fringe is playful and fun; I love how it moves when I walk! The suede is soft; which helps to make them extremely comfortable, and easy to to walk in! Perfect for long days at the mall during the holiday shopping season!

These fringe booties have been so comfy, I have considered getting them in black too. It can be hard to find comfortable shoes, so when I do find them, I try to stock up!

The holidays are fast approaching! Click here to check out my holiday gift guide for fabulous gift ideas this season!

Tom Ford Blackout nail polish review

Tom Ford Blackout is a fabulous new nail polish color from Tom Ford for the winter, and holiday season. This edgy hue is not your average, flat black color! Noooooo, Tom Ford upped the black nail polish game by adding sparkles, and dimension to Blackout. The result is fabulous!

Tom Ford Blackout nail polish is a cream polish, littered with millions of dazzling sparkles. The sparkles are a cool, subtle silver, and they add dimension to the black hue. This makes Blackout a must-have in anyone’s nail polish wardrobe. After all, black is a edgy yet neutral version of classic nail polish.

Throughout the years, black nail polish has drifted in and out of fashion. Although it has it’s popular moments, black nail polish is a classic color which is considered both neutral, and cutting-edge. This makes it an easy shade to wear with any color palette, in any season.

Blackout by Tom Ford is an excellent black nail polish to own. I have noticed Tom Ford nail polish has a strong shelf life. His polish maintains it’s texture, color, and composition while sitting on a shelf, for an extended period of time. One of my pet peeves is when a nail polish has been sitting on a shelf for six months, and it goes bad! Tom Ford does not. It maintains a long life, which is nothing short of fabulous!

I tested out Tom Ford Blackout nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one coat of top coat. The polish applied evenly, without streaking. It also lasted a full week without chipping. Love that!

I have fallen in love with Tom Ford Blackout nail polish, and I look forward to wearing it throughout the winter 2016, and holiday 2015 seasons!
