Revlon's "Plum Velour"

Happy hump day, all!
I had a bit of a hard time deciding what to write about for my first post. I took the easy way out and got some inspiration from right here on our blog! I'm taking Karen's advice and indulging in the things I love. I don't know what it is about this season, but I am currently obsessed with everything burgundy, wine, plum and the sort. I'm not a big lipstick kinda person, but as you can see, lipstick is one of those everything's I wanted in a wine/plum color and I finally got one last night! I also don't plan to stop there.

I am on a fierce hunt for a big burgundy knit sweater and a big, cozy burgundy scarf (more for the winter). I'd also like to invest in a perfect pair of cognac leather boots before the season flies by (I swear, where we live, we have no seasonal transitions!).

Before I get carried away with some sort of "wish list," here is what I am currently indulging in:

• My recently-purchased Camelbak full of water, water, water. Everyday.
• Pumpkin Spice Lattes 
• "Light Blue" by Dolce & Gabbana (this indulgence never gets old)
• Like Karen, face masks (more so because my skin is at one of its worst right now; every girl's nightmare)

I've recently noticed my wardrobe hasn't been in much favor of fall, which is why there is so much on my mind when I feel the need to shop. Indulging in what you love is great; it keeps us going. But it's a part of growing up to realize that you also have to satisfy yourself with the things you are already blessed with, be grateful and do not get carried away with wanting more and more (aka do not grow a shopping addiction!!)...at least that's what I need to tell myself.
