Happy November 1st! I decided to do a quick recap of some outfits + beauty products that I shared over on my Instagram in October. Honestly – October was one of the best months of my life (aka getting married, crossing Vermont off my bucket list etc.) and I’m sad to see the month end but happy for new beginnings and new memories during the holiday season!
Vermont Look #1 – This was one of my FAVORITE shots in Manchester, VT and it was actually the first look that I wore on my first day there after we arrived. The mountains, the colorful leaves, everything was perfect! My bodysuit is from Zara and I linked my Tory Burch crossbody and sneakers. I wore these sneakers almost everyday and can’t rave about them enough! It was a Nordstrom sale purchase and worth every penny. Somehow, it goes with every outfit and great for long travel days.
Vermont Look #2 – It was a chilly foggy morning when we shot this look – but so beautiful! This shacket is another Zara find and kept me warm. It’s great for layering with a top and jeans too! I wore it belted with leggings (the shacket is long enough to cover your butt by the way lol). It’s still available in all sizes and comes in grey too. I paired it with these amazing chunky boots which are a dupe for Gucci and so popular right now. Usually chunky black boots aren’t my style but I couldn’t help but fall in love with these ones and how comfortable they are!
Vermont Look #3 – During the daytime in Vermont, it was surprisingly on the warm side so I wore this thin long sleeve lace top from Free People. It’s so chic tucked into jeans and I got so many compliments on it! Also wearing my “fawn” bag aka the St. Anne’s tote from Barrington Gifts which is the perfect travel/work tote and amazing quality. This would be a great Christmas gift for your loved ones and comes in other patterns, designs and can be personalized.
Berry Lip Color + One Shoulder Dress – I also had a chance to get dressed up on this trip! I fell in love with this berry lip color from Maybelline called “Pave The Road” and the formula is incredible. It’s a matte crayon that applies so creamy and smooth and lasted the whole night. I’m definitely going to get more colors from this line in the future. As for my dress, I got this from Pretty Little Thing – my first time ordering from them! And I’m shocked by how stunning the design and pattern is! The quality isn’t the best but it’s just okay lol. Right now it’s on sale for $36!
Brow Pencil + Powder Duo – Another drugstore find that’s also from Maybelline that I’m OBSESSED with is their Brow Express 2-In-1 Pencil and Powder Stick. I realized during the trip that I left my brow powder at home and bought this randomly. It is such a great find especially for someone that isn’t the best at doing their eyebrows aka me! LOL. One side has a soft crayon that’s perfect for drawing tiny hairs and defining the brows. The other side is a soft powder so you can fill in the brows softly (you apply more pressure if you want more color).
Shacket + Skirt Set – I got SO many questions on this set over on my Instagram. I actually wore this look with my Tory Burch crossbody bag and sneakers. The set is also great to wear separately! The shacket and skirt are from Red Dress and still available.
Thanks for reading! I always post everything on my Instagram @ruyadawang (yes that’s my new last name on my IG handle!) so feel free to follow me on there for more fashion and beauty finds!
