It feels so good to be blogging again! I really hope to continue throughout the rest of 2020. Especially with the holidays right around the corner, you can definitely expect my annual gift guides to make their appearance soon.
You know, I really thought when quarantine started I wouldn't still be having weekly shopping sprees, yet here I am... Here are my most-loved purchases from October:
Aritzia - Zip Up Cropped Hoodie, Cozy Sweat Shorts, sized up to a L for both
- Have been LIVING in both of these pieces, extremely difficult for me to take off lol
Zara - Cozy-knit top, Iconic Leather Trousers, Cream Ruched Sweater, Basic Tee, tops: M pants: 6 (run large, sized down from 8)
- THE trousers of the season - comfy, soft, go with everything, and I love all these staple tops
Vyvacious Fashion - Essential Tank in Chocolate
- Somehow this one size fits all tank sucks you in, is comfortable, and so flattering
Anthropologie - Silk Mask, Pumpkin Candle
- Finally caved and got a silk mask to help with the acne on my chin
The Mayfair Group - Vintage Brown Crewneck
- I reach for this every single day, it is that good, plus brown is SO in for fall and I am here for it (this was actually a present from my bf so that's fun right)
Shop Brunch Club - Zebra Sweater Dress, size M
- Seriously could not help myself with this dress, thankfully I'm v smol so it works great as a dress on me
October was a jam-packed month in terms of consuming content; let's get into my favorite Youtubers to watch and Netflix shows I binged:
Youtube
- Brooke Miccio - she will always be one of my favorites, her vlogs are so relatable and great to have on while starting your day or winding down
- Kenzie Elizabeth - another vlogger who posts videos like every day so you will always have something to watch, hers are my favorite when I need to get ish done
- Tatiana Soash - my absolute favorite designer, I watch her videos to learn more about being a freelancer full-time
- Natalie Barbu - recently she has posted so many honest and helpful videos about money + finances
- Tasha Franken - my favorite workout videos, I LOVE how she has 5-7 minute workouts + ones like a lazy day workout
Netflix
- Schitt's Creek - I am LATE to the bandwagon, but wow, funniest show and David is my everything
- Emily in Paris - loved it, everyone was shitting on it and it was so relaxing and fun to watch, it's a SHOW you don't need to dive into every detail saying its wrong lol
- Great British Baking Show - quite possibly my favorite show on Netflix of all time, the 8th season has been coming out each week and it is the highlight of my weeks let me tell ya
- The Queen's Gambit - another show that takes a little to get into, but it is addicting + so interesting! cannot get enough of it
I am constantly trying new recipes out and forcing my family to eat them, it's fun!! These were our favorite recipes from October:
- Ginger Sesame Noodles
- Pumpkin Chai Cupcakes
- White-Wine Braised Chicken with Artichokes and Orzo
- Pistachio and Orange Loaf
- Apple Cider Margarita
Head over to my Instagram to see what I've styled this month! I tried out the subscription service Nuuly, and was not really a fan to be honest, let me know if you'd like to know more about my experience and I can do a whole post. Gift guides are coming so soon - be on the lookout for them on my Instagram stories, here on the blog, or on my Facebook page!
Thanks so much for reading, xx
