Sephora Sale Picks

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration // NEST Midnight Fleur // Fresh Sugar Lip Delight // Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Night Cap Overnight Perfector // Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter // Marc Jacobs Fragrance Daisy Rollerball Trio // Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette

If you're a VIB Rouge member, than you were lucky enough to have already shopped the sale, but if you're just a VIB, your time is coming. Starting tomorrow, VIB's will receive 20% off through November 16th with the code VIB20 online and in stores.

I think you can make best use of the sale by purchasing holiday gifts for friends and family, and essentials for yourself- such as your favorite moisturizer and perfume.

Blogging Business: Stuck in a Rut

I've been in a major blogging rut lately. I've been feeling un-inspired and generally lack luster with the content I've been producing. I know this is mostly due to the amount of school work I have currently and the amount of hours I've been putting in at my job, but I just haven't been feeling very motivated.

Any tips for when you're stuck in a blog rut? I'd love to hear them!

All Things Pretty: Mini Bag Madness

Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAB Tote // ZAC Zac Posen Eartha Top Handle Mini Cross Body Bag // Candy Cookie Mini Satchel

There's something about mini bags for fall that I love. Granted, I tend to carry far more in the fall than in any other season, I love the look of mini structured bags with layered sweaters, scarves and boots. What's your favorite way to style a mini bag?
