Monthly Favorites | October, 2020

In October, my favorites have ranged from 90s style mom jeans, to cream blush and a fun sitcom staring Joey from FRIENDS.

Fashion

  • Old Navy Mid-Rise Power Slim Stright Jeans // Old Navy // For the longest time, Old Navy jeans would never fit me. Ever so often I would try on a pair that intrigued me, and would always be disappointed — until now that is. These mom style jeans fit me perfectly and were exactly what I was looking for. I love the 90s mom jeans look, so I was excited when I found these and that even fit me without a belt [a rare thing for me]. I highly recommend checking them out, especially if you carry weight in your mid-section to hips area.

  • A New Day Long-Sleeve Smocked Blouse // Target // I loved this blouse when it first hit the stores, and I was going to wait to purchase it when it went on sale, but all of my favorite bloggers started talking about it so I just purchased it one day on a Friday night shopping trip. I’m typically a size M/L, and I opted for the XL as it was the last option in the orange, and it ended up being the perfect slightly oversized fit that I needed.

Beauty

  • Tower 22 Beauty BeachPlease Tinted Lip + Cheek Balm in Magic Hour // Sephora // This has been the year of rediscovering cream blushes. I used to be a big fan of them when I first got into makeup, as I loved how natural they could look on the skin. Then I kinda forgot about them, but I’ve been all about natural-looking makeup this year, and brands have been delivering good cream products in 2020 — and I’m here for it. This blush lasts fairly well on the skin, blends in well, and gives a beautiful sun-kissed look.

Entertainment

  • Emily in Paris // Netflix // I miss being able to travel, and this Netflix original show helped a bit with the travel bug. Also, the clothes are super cute — even if they aren’t in the true Parisian style, they are definitely Americanized outfits. But hey, it is a fun, light show that takes place in Paris.

  • Man with a Plan // Netflix // I’m a sucker for sitcoms. So when I discovered this show on Netflix and realized that Matt LeBlanc, Joey from FRIENDS, was in it, I knew I had to try it out. It is definitely cheesy, but hey, sometimes I’m all about cheesy TV shows. It is a fun, light show and feels like you are watching Joey years down the road, settled and married with kids in Pennsylvania.
