As promised, I debuted my new fall lippie at the office today. And pic'ed it. See below. Shall we break down why Smoked Purple is a winner for me? 1. It's matte, but it goes on so smooth for me. Sure, a bit of balm helps before applying but I find it really easy to …
Blogtober #28: Fall Mall Haul
Guess who went to the mall today... Yes, I did a tiny bit of Sunday shopping. (1) Cat eye sunnies from New York & Company (2) New lipstick and lip liner from MAC: Smoked Purple and Nightmoth, respectively. (The saleslady was slick; she heard me saying that I had no intention of purchasing makeup and …
Blogtober #27: “…in one autumnal face.”
It's a gorgeous day. It's edible and gorgeous and autumnal and even warmer here than the season calls for. Enjoy your Saturday, wherever you are.

Blogtober #23: On Letting Things Go.
Sometimes I wonder if I love fall so much because it's the visual embodiment of all the things that, psychologically, I should be doing a better job of maintaining. Every year, nature takes stock and detoxes, shedding its skin in the loveliest, most wondrous of ways. It's a lesson to be learned, and certainly one …
Blogtober #22: Ashy Knuckles and & Other Autumnal Indignities.
Look. That lovely, crisp, autumnal breeze in the atmosphere? It's wonderful. And also very, very dangerous. This morning, as I trudged into work and settled myself at my desk, I noticed something as I was typing away on my keyboard. Something that took my breath away. My knuckles were ashy. Like gray. The abject horror …

Blogtober #21: The Bluest Sky.
After three weeks of rain, this weekend welcomed that sky and that glow below. Photos taken by yours truly from her couch, as she takes in the lovely, dry day. Happy Sunday.
Blogtober #20: We’ve Got a Lituation.
As seen on the Twitter, tweeted by Reese Witherspoon, retweeted by Ava Duvernay, and infinitely loved by me and all fall lovers out there. Happy Saturday, y'all. Get lit.
