Pumpkin spice and everything nice — that’s what Fall is made of, am I right?
I’m a little late in getting October’s “links I love” post up. Blogtober blew by with a fury of new blog posts every day {you can check out the recap HERE}, and it totally slipped my mind that I didn’t publish a “links” post until I did the recap. So now I’ve spent the last week or so catching up on emails and putting together some of my favorites from October. There’s going to be a lot of links, so bookmark this post so you can go check them out later.
1. The #Last90DayChallenge {Rachel Hollis}
I’ll be honest with you. I had every intention of getting involved in this challenge, but between Blogtober and life, I just let it slip through the cracks. It’s a great challenge and I know some people who are doing this challenge. So to everyone who is doing this challenge, just know that I’m cheering you on from my couch. You’re almost halfway through the challenge!
2. Ways to Wear Camo {StyleCaster}
A few years ago, I purchased a pair of camo pants from Zara, but they were one size too small. Every since then, I’ve been wanting and looking for a pair of camo pants. And finally, I found a pair of camo jeggings last week and they fit perfectly! I can’t wait to start styling them, and thanks to this article, I now have several ideas on how to wear them!
3. 5 Beauty Trend French Women are Loving Right Now {PureWow}
We all know how obsessed I am with all things “French”, and I am loving how French women are leading the way in beauty trends. The Parisian women are really slaying it!
4. French Pharmacy Favorites The You Can Find on Amazon {Damsel in Dior}
Again, keeping with the French trend, Damsel in Dior has shared some French pharmacy favorites that are available on Amazon. She recently went to Paris Fashion Week, and I love reading her posts from her Paris trips. And if you are as obsessed with the Damsel as I am, then you already know that she and her husband are expecting their first baby… a baby {girl} Damsel! Congrats to them!
5. 19 Royal Family Members to Follow on Instagram {StyleCaster}
I follow the Royal family on IG already, but there are several other royal family members that are just as fascinating and beautiful as Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.
6. All Natural Deodorant Roundup {With Love from Kat}
I’ve thought about making the switch to an all natural deodorant, and Kat has rounded up some great choices. She and a friend of hers tested them out, and shared the good and bad of each of the brands they tested.
7. How to Build a Personal Brand… Without Being Annoying {PureWow}
Even though I’ve been blogging since January 2012, I never really thought about my “personal brand” until just a couple of years ago. I still don’t think of myself as a “brand”, but I’m learning more every day on how to market myself and my blog, and hopefully, I’m not being annoying. This is a great read for bloggers, influencers, or anyone else trying to build their personal brand.
8. 30 Outfits to Try in November {PureWow}
“Thirty days has November…” Some of these outfits are one my list to try out. Maybe I’ll try to recreate one or two of these outfits on my dress form. Ooohh! Can’t wait!
9. 6 Tips for Setting a “Look Mom, I’m All Grown Up” Holiday Table {Damsel in Dior}
With Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away, I’m already thinking about how to decorate my bar-table for our Thanksgiving dinner with my parents. These tips are great, and I can definitely use them this year!
10. Celebs’ Best Winter Beauty Tips {StyleCaster}
With winter just around the corner, I’m already trying to figure out which beauty products I need to put aside and which ones I need to use during the winter months? These winter beauty tips are great, regardless of which time zone you live in. I’ll definitely be trying out some of their tips.
11. October 2018 Reading List {The Stripe}
I really love Grace Atwood’s book recommendations. She always has such a great selection, and October’s reading list was no different. I’m going to have to add a couple of them to my Amazon Prime cart!
12. Adriana Lima is Retiring From Victoria’s Secret {Fashion Bomb Daily}
I’ve had a girl-crush on Adriana Lima for years. This Brazilian beauty is a knock-out. She has beauty and brains, and she has a body that other women {like me} would love to have. I’m sad to hear that she has hung up her Angel wings, but I can’t wait to see what she does next!
13. The New Book You Should Read, Based on Your Zodiac Sign {PureWow}
Hello, Capricorns! Based on my zodiac sign, I should read Michelle Obama’s memoir, Becoming. Guess I’ll add that to my Amazon Prime cart as well! She was an amazing First Lady and to this day, she is still a role model.
I know that was a lot of links, but check back in a couple of weeks because I’ll share even more, as I’m already putting together my “links I love” list for this month!
Yours Truly,
Vanessa
