Fall Uniform
One of the first things that I pull out every Fall season are my trench coats. Since it doesn't really get cold in Miami I tend to gravitate towards very flowy, light weight coats as opposed to regular coats.These kind of coats are so comfortable and literally go with everything, plus they kick every outfit up a notch. I paired it with my Hieleven bag (surprise, surprise) and some pointed flat mules.I know that these shoes are not everyone's cup of tea but after seeing this trend for a while now I finally gave in. I usually stay away from "unusual" trends... or trends that I'm not sure will stand the test of time but I really love the look of them so I just decided to get them & I'm glad I did. I don't know if I would drop $700 on Gucci loafers ( not saying never) but I do think that this style of shoe is very cool, interesting & a great alternative to regular flats. Plus, this particular pair is VERY comfortable and so easy to just slip on. I opted for a pointed loafer because I feel like a pointed toe is slightly more elegant and feminine than a regular flat.Lately, I've been loving everything vintage inspired so another trend that I've been in love with are cat-eye sunglasses. I think that they are just so flattering and lady-like. I put on liquid eyeliner ALL of the time because I just love how it elongates your eyes and just makes everything better, the same applies to cat-eye sunglasses... They give the appearance of elongated eyes and I just think they make you look more sophisticated.
And a "Fall Uniform"... or any seasonal uniform, just wouldn't be complete without some kind of vintage or vintage-looking jean. I have these in three colors already and I seriously cannot recommend them enough.

Glossier
This brand represents everything I believe in when it comes to beauty... less is more. Prior to discovering Glossier I use to have a ridiculous skincare routine. I was using products that were too abrasive on my very dry, very sensitive skin. I use to have slight eczema, a lot of redness and texture and ever since I simplified my skincare and beauty regimen my skin changed for the better.
I have a skincare routine which you can find HERE where I go in depth on all of the products I use during the day and at night & while it may still seem like a lot to some, it's nothing compared to what it use to be.
I use the milky jelly cleanser religiously now (more than I did when I made that video) and it's just one of those reliable cleansers that you put on when your skin has been freaking out & you know that this is what will bring it back to normal, it really does condition my skin & make it look and feel so healthy and plump.
I've also tried their haloscopes (video where I use them HERE) and lip balm which I absolutely love as well.
I am happy to say I am now a rep for Glossier, there's nothing better than representing a company that you truly, 100% believe in... I would never represent a brand if I felt otherwise but you know what I mean! It's just so much easier to talk about products that you've tried for extended periods of time & continuously genuinely love.

The Perfect Knit
Sweater: HERE | Glasses: HERE | Shoes: HERE | Jeans: H&M | Bag: Topshop | Watch: Daniel Wellington |
I really love knitted sweaters but sometimes I feel like you can get lost in their chunkiness. It's very hard for you to look "sexy" or feel feminine, or whatever you want to call it, in a huge oversized sweater... Which is why I really loved this sweater, the v-neck/off-the-shoulder shape counteracts it's chunkiness and makes it look so feminine.
You can lower the sweater a little more so that your shoulders are completely exposed or higher it so that it's more like a V-neck, seriously SO versatile.
Daniel Wellington
Watch HERE | Cuff HERE |
If you've followed me on Instagram for a while you know that I've been a huge fan of Daniel Wellington watches since the beginning. I've owned one of their classic pieces for about three years now & I have not grown tired of it, in fact, I have to stop myself from wearing it sometimes to prevent my other watches from collecting dust.
I truly believe their pieces are so affordable for the quality that you're getting. The leather ages so well, I actually prefer how it looks once I've worn it in. This one pictured is new to me from their classic black collection & OMG it is so stunning. I am pretty picky when it comes to design and they just do everything so well, from the type of leather, to the color of the leather, to the overall face design, It's perfect. They also make cuffs (like the one pictured) which go so well with the watches.
They were nice enough to give my followers a 15% discount off their entire site by entering the promo code "GEMARY" at checkout valid through January 31. For the holidays they are offering free shipping, free returns & free gift-wrapping.
If you're having trouble figuring out what to gift someone, look no further! You seriously cannot go wrong with any of their watches. Order by December 21 in order to receive it by Christmas Day. Happy shopping!
