Happy Friday everyone! It's been a while since I've posted This & That so I decided to bring it back. Just a few pretty things that caught my eye! A few of you have been asking about the lipgloss I wore here...it's the YSL Golden Gloss #49. I love love it. I also mix it with NARS Gold Digger to give make a softer pink lip. Now for those Steve Madden Leopard Boots...how amazing are those? And on sale + free shipping...yes please! Have a great weekend!

Beauty Talk | Clarisonic
For months, I had been debating on purchasing the Clarisonic Mia. It's not exactly budget friendly, so I wanted to do some research and make sure this was right for me. I read a plethora of reviews, watched several videos, and finally decided to give it a shot. I have been using it for the last couple weeks and I am already obsessed. My face is so soft! I use my Clarisonic 4-5 times a week...usually at night. I start by taking off my makeup with Say Yes To Cucumbers Facial Wipes, then proceed to use the Clarisonic with my Purity Face Cleanser by Philosophy. I can honestly say it has improved my skin texture and leaves my face super clean. The best part, is that Clarisonic makes special brush heads for every skin type. I have sensitive skin, so I use Delicate Brush Head and it works great. My skin thanks you, Clarisonic!

Beauty Talk | Josie Maran
When I first saw the Josie Maran Argon Oil in Sephora, I thought it would be a great product for my hair. I am always looking for new products for my hair and I love oils and serums. Recently, I was introduced to this light version. One of my good friends is huge fan of the oil and actually uses it as a face moisturizer. Personally, I have always struggled with oily skin, so the thought of putting an oil on my face made me cringe. After reading many reviews of satisfied people using this as a moisturizer, I had a change of heart. It. Is. AMAZING! The Josie Maran Argon Oil Light is perfect as a face moisturizer because it is lightweight and absorbs quickly. It did not leave an oily feeling at all. Love love love this product and can't wait to try more of the Josie Maran line at Sephora.

Holiday Sweater Cardigan
I love a good cardigan. Being a teacher, that probably doesn't surprise you, but I love to wrap myself in a cozy sweater or cardi. Typically, I try to find cardigans that are long enough to wear leggings or those really skinny jeans. I also like them to be a tad oversized. Obviously, it was easy for me to fall in love with this Holiday Sweater Cardigan from Shop Bella C. It's so soft and perfect to throw on when going out and about. With the temperatures constantly changing in Dallas, I want pieces that will be easy to throw on and layer. Can't wait to wear this throughout the season!

Shades of Grey
One of my favorite things about stripes is that they are so easy to layer and mix with patterns. Thus, the reason I love this dress from Shop Bella C. I am usually the type that goes for outfits that are more "loose fitting" so wearing this form fitting number was a tad out of my comfort zone. However, the material is super flattering and obviously you can pair it with something a little "loose" to give it a more relaxed look. To add to my relaxed-casual look, I wore a slouchy beanie (also out of my comfort zone!) and some distressed leather boots. I love putting together a look that I can be comfortable and still feel styled.
