So I finally did it! Something I’ve been debating back and forth about for literally months-chopping my hair off. Not just my usual inch or two, but a solid 7 inches of my brown locks.

To some people a haircut is simply just a haircut and to others, like myself, their hair is their pride and joy..therefore, I better be walking out of the salon with a smile on my face..or else. With that being said it’s pretty understandable as to why it took me so long to finally decide to go through with it. I decided last week it was time to grow a pair and finally go through with it, after all I trusted my hair stylist and I was in need of some sort of change.

This past weekend a friend and I took a trip to our local Sephora, and a couple other places to do a little shopping and catch up. She’s my only other friend that is in love with Sephora like I am and we both had a list of things we wanted to get our hands on, so needless to say we were pretty excited to get together and do what we do best.

It’s only been a few days since my last post and the weather has dropped about 10 degrees, typical Wisconsin. This has left  me considerably more excited to drag out my Fall wardrobe, unfortunately I’ve noticed, as I do every season, that my selection is lacking quite a few pieces. With that I decided to take some time and put together a list of my Fall 2011 fashion must haves and share them with you. Since the list seems to be miles long I thought it would be best to spare you and only share the top 10.

Top 10 Fall Fashion Must Haves

1. Riding Boots- This look is just so classic. A perfect cold weather alternative to flats that add a little flair to leggings, skinny jeans or a dress.

Two styles I really like Left: Madden Girl-Rickki/Right: Aldo-BelfiglioBoth from www.Zappos.com

2. Bags, Satchels, Totes & more Bags- Call me materialistic, but I love having my “stuff” with me at all times. I’m a total “what if..” person which is why you can always find me with a ginormous bag on my shoulder toting whatever can fit with me where ever I go. Lucky for me Fall has a great selection of over sized totes, satchels and bags for me to   choose from. Check Aldo, Target, and Zappos for really cute yet affordable styles.

3. Vintage Eye Wear: Cat Eyes- No, I’m not talking winged eyeliner, though I do love to rock that look on occasion, I’m referring to the retro style glasses I’m seeing everywhere. I can’t wait to get my hands on a pair! Check out  the Vintage 50s Eyewear shop on Etsy to see some really cool vintage frames.

So months have gone by and I’ve found myself falling deeper and deeper in love with the all that is blogging, beauty blogging to be specific. I’m hopelessly addicted to a hand full of amazing beauty blogs and have been so inspired I can’t contain it any longer. So, as of today I’ve decided that I’ve spent enough time on the side lines as a reader and that it’s time to dive in head first and join the beauty blogging world by creating my own. If  ”they” can do it so can I, right?

With that said, hello beauty world, my name is Mariana and this is my blog Beauty n Things, enjoy!

xoxo,
