Marc Jacobs – Too Hot To Handle Bentley Leather Tote

Color: Cement

Price: $498

I shouldn’t love this bag, but I do! The color is that perfect mix of blush/nude, and it’s just all around a great tote. It’s big enough to hold anything you might need, and has the attachment for a side-banger strap, which I love. Life is better with side bangers.

Kate Spade – Holden Street Olivera

Color: Pebble

Price: $378

This is the perfect purse to get for business purposes. I have always wanted a light colored briefcase-esque bag that looks professional but can also be an everyday purse. I think this does the trick. I love this bag in the nude pebble color, however you could always get it in black or red if that is more your style.

Forever 21 – Unstructured Faux Leather Tote

Color: Taupe

Price: $24.90

This is a much more wallet-friendly option. If you like the idea of the light tan/blush purses, however don’t want to invest $300+ …this is the purse for you! It is always a good idea to check out places like Forever 21 or Aldo for cheaper purses. They always have ones that look relatively similar to the higher end brands, but for very affordable options.

Tory Burch – Marion Slouchy Tote

Color: Light Oak

Price: $595

This bag is a gorgeous blush color. It is definitely a spring bag. I love all things Tory Burch, so this had to be added to the list! You can never go wrong with a little TB. This bag is at the slightly higher end of the price range, however it is well worth the investment.

#Obsessed – Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser

I hardly ever talk about my skin care routine, however today I must share a must have! It is called Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser, and it is the best face wash ever!! I have always had awful skin, and since moving to the mountains it has become even more of a disaster. It is oily, yet super dry. On top of that, for years I have had blackheads I’ve never been able to get rid of. Enter: Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser. I don’t exactly understand how it works, but basically the charcoal pulls out all the impurities in your skin. I have been using this since the summer, and my skin keeps getting better and better! It has gotten rid of most of my blackheads, and is still gentle enough that I can use it in the morning AND at night! I use this cleanser with my Clarisonic brush, and the results I have gotten are shocking. I never thought my skin could change so dramatically. Now granted, I still have a long way to go, but this facial cleanser gives me hope that I will one day get to the skin I have always dreamed of having.

To purchase – check out your local drugstore, grocery store or Target. It is sold wherever most facial cleansers are sold.

Mani Monday: Essie Merino Cool

I have been searching for a new color for a few weeks now, and I stumbled upon this perfect Essie shade at Target last week. It is a gorgeous mix of grey and a slight hint of purple. It changes slightly depending on the light. I am OBSESSED with it!! It is called Merino Cool, and it is definitely a must have. It’s a perfect fall shade, or just a daily shade when you want to feel dark and a little mysterious. My cousin, who is way tanner than me, bought Master Plan, which is also a great color. It’s a nude that looks way lighter than Merino Cool. The difference is the skin tone. I know that Master Plan would not look great on me, because my skin tone is too light to offset it. However, it looks perfect on her! So here is my tip for the day — if you are tan, go for the lighter nude-brown of Master Plan, and if you are super pale, go for the darker Merino Cool. Trust me.
