Never Going Back Again

November Favorites 

Hello Lovelies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) November has now come and gone. December is here which means that it is the month of my 22nd birthday (shout out to all the Sagittarius' out there!) & Christmas. It's no wonder December is my favorite month! Although I have been looking froward to the month change I tried my hardest to make the most out of November. I think I did a pretty good job :) I hope yours was wonderful too. Here are some of the things I was loving this month. 

Fashion

Old Navy Baby Blue Sweater

I got this while I was on a big shopping trip at Old Navy because I thought that it would add some diversity to my wardrobe seeing as I didn't have anything this color. I have ended up wearing this constantly. If I am hesitant on what to wear this is my go to sweater. It is so comfy and I think the color is pretty with my skin. 

Old Navy Wine Sweater

I also got this on that same Old Navy shopping trip. I technically have lots of things similar to this color but they are burgundy or maroon where as this is more of a wine. I love it. I think the color is gorgeous. I had to get it in a large because they were out of mediums and I wanted it to badly to walk away. It hasn't made me wear it any less though. I reach for this way to often. People are going to think that this and my baby blue sweater at the only things in my wardrobe!

Accessories

My Favorite Pair Of Oxfords

I wear this shoe everyday. That may sound like an exaggeration but at some point, on any given day, I will have these on my feet. I love them. That are literally my favorite pair of shoes. I am sure they aren't to everyones taste but mine is the only one that matter when it comes to my wardrobe. 

Brown Riding Boots 

I got these on sale for $45, down from $90. I love them. They are the first pair of boots I've ever gotten with a heel. They feel a lot nicer than the ones I own that are flat. The color is really pretty and they have this built in lining that keeps your feet very warm. 

Scarf

My Mama got me this scarf for Christmas last year. It is so pretty. People mistake it for being a Vera Bradley pattern all of the time. Since I live in Texas I've only gotten to wear this a handful of time but it has been pretty cold here in the past month so I did get a few chances. I love wearing it :) 

Beauty 

Milani Baked Blush in Red Vino

This was recommend by Bethany Mota (it was in her fall 2013 routine video). The second I saw it I knew it as the perfect fall/winter color. It goes so wonderful with all of the lip colors I want to wear around this time. It is quite lovely and not expensive. I did have to go to four different stores to find it but it was definitely worth the time. 

Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 & Tanya Burr's Vampire Kiss Lip Gloss

I have talked about these both before but that just shows I love them! I put on a thin layer of 107 with my finger as a base and then put on a little Vampire's Kiss on top. It is so pretty and goes well with everything. I am sure it is a color that would look good on any skin tone as well. 

Home

Starbucks "You Are Here" Mugs 

Dallas. Houston. San Antonio. Las Vegas. Austin. Nashville. New York.

I have been collecting these mugs for quite a long time now. I love them. They are not only pretty and fun (deciding which location to drink from definitely takes you back to those places) but they are also the perfect size for a great cup of coffee. I can't wait to add more to my collection. For me, this is the perfect souvenir from traveling.

Food

Thanksgiving Dinner

***I don't even have a picture for this category because I was so excited to eat my meal that I didn't think to snap a photo before I dug in.***

This was an obvious addition to this months favorites. It may not be something that I had all month but it was something that I knew was coming all month and was looking forward to. It's a meal with all of those classic Thanksgiving foods that you only really get once a year. I got to have two Thanksgiving dinners this year and they were both great. The best part, of course, was being surrounded by family, friends and loved ones.

Entertainment 

Law & Order: SVU

When Elliot left the show after season 12 I refused to continue watching, which was very difficult considering it is one of my all time favorite shows. One day I was sitting and rewatching an old episode when I decide that I wanted to know what happened & wanted to watch an episode with a storyline I didn't know. I started season 13 extremely hesitantly. From that first episode I was hooked on the new seasons. It is very difficult to say but I have seen some of the best episodes of SVU I have ever seen in season 13-16. There are times when I wish it was less of "The Olivia Benson Show" but I do understand why she plays such a large role. If you have never seen the show or haven't seen the more recent seasons then I must insist that you watch it. All 16 seasons are available on Hulu Plus. It is such a great show that you could honestly get through them all in a few months. 

Tyler Oakley's Psychobabble

I love Tyler Oakley. This is no secret. I have included him in a favorites a few months back even. I wish he could be my best friend. He recently started a podcast with his good friend Korey Kohl and it is just as wonderful as his videos. Tyler manages to somehow be just as alive through this format as he is through his videos. With the end of each episode I wish that it had gone on longer. It is free to listen and subscribe, so there is no excuse not to try it out :)

Well that is all for this month. I hope that your December is filled with tons of joy, love & laughter. No matter what you are celebrating this month just remember that surrounding yourself with loved ones is the best gift you could as for :) Let me know what your favorite things in November were in the comments below & I will see you next time!

Lips Of An Angel

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick Review 

Hello Lovelies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) I watch a lot of Youtube videos and I have a good deal of favorite Youtubers. One of the people on that list (well really at the top of that list) is Zoe Sugg aka Zoella. Her channel is so wonderful and she is just the loveliest person you'll ever meet (or watch.. you know what I mean). I have been watching her main channel and her vlog channel for a long time and have come to really trust her opinion on products. She frequently mentions Rimmel's Kate Moss lipstick range and after hearing about it more times than I could count I decided to give it a try. I went and purchased two to start out with, one of which was the one Zoe mentioned the most. 

I enjoyed the berry and red shades I purchased so much that I went back to get another shade from the range. When I found the nude I knew that it was going to get daily use. Each of them is creamy without sliding off your lips. They are hydrating just enough without crossing over into messy. I have gotten a lot of use out of these and reach for them often. They are very pigmented and have good staying power. Plus the packaging is pretty and who doesn't like having pretty things in their makeup bag or collection? :)

14- Nude 

This is my ultimate "my lips but better" color. I have been searching for the perfect nude for a long time and with this I have found it. It is a brown shade nude, very 90s, but I like that about it. I didn't want a pinky or peachy nude. 

111- Red

The perfect matte red shade. It is not an overwhelming color on the lips but it is still red enough to make a statement. I haven't gotten to use this a ton yet but with the holiday season coming up I am betting that I will get a lot of use out of it.
***This is a lot more red than the picture suggests. I think the lighting was giving it more pink tones than it actually has. 

107- Berry 

If you want that berry fall lip but are a little hesitant on going dark this is the shade for you. This is a berry lip without being completely out there. If you use your finger or a brush you can actually make this a pinker berry color but if you just put it straight on your lips it is fall in a perfectly subtle way. I have been reaching for this a lot in the last month.

Overall I really enjoy having these in my makeup bag and I would love to buy more shades in the range. I would recommend the line in general but my favorite has to be the nude. Have you ever tried the Kate Moss range? What's your favorite shade? Let me know in the comments! :)

Set Fire To The Rain

August Favorites 

Hello Lovelies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) I am going to start this post by simply stating that I have gotten very behind on not only my blog but this post especially. We are not seven days into the month of Pumpkin Spice Lattes and I am just not getting around to doing my August favorites. With all of the things happening in my life I have felt a bit overwhelmed and this has caused my ideas for my blog to feel a bit smothered. I am desperate to jump back into things as this has been an amazon outlet for me and I really enjoy it. I am going to keep things very minimal this month on the favorites front but I am determined not to miss a month so I hope that you enjoy it all the same! 

Fashion

Black Floral Dress 

When my mother offered me the $100 gift card to Target that she had gotten from work I walked into the store with every intention of buying things with it that I would not have purchased for myself. As always that did not happen because the second I got into the clothing section I spotted this dress and knew that it would be in my closet later that day. The only justification I have for this dress (because I have about twenty dresses that have a floral pattern) is that it is black and I don't own much black. Regardless, I love it and have worn it a ton since I bought it.

Accessories

Mustard Cardigan 

This was one of the items I purchased with that same gift card that was something I really needed in my wardrobe but never would have purchased for myself. I have gotten a ton of use out of it since I bought it and I am so excited to wear it more as we get further into autumn (it is my favorite season and I have already pulled out all of my fall scents).

Beauty

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick 14

I have been searching for a "my lips but better" lipstick for a long time now and when I picked this up on that same Target trip I was overjoyed. I put it on in the car right after we walked out and confirmed that it was indeed the perfect color for my lips. It is now my go-to color for every day :) The formulation is wonderful, it keeps your lips moisturized and the color lasts. 

Food

Twinning's English Breakfast Tea

I have always wanted to be a tea drinker, which has been difficult because I do not like tea in the slightest. I have tried time and time again to make myself enjoy it, taking tips from friends who drink it, but it had never worked. The things that finally turned it around was when I watched multiple Youtube videos on the British tag. One of the questions was "Do you use cream and sugars?" and I suddenly had the realization that people make tea in the same way that I make coffee. Since that day I have been drinking english breakfast tea with cream and a sugar. 

Entertainment

Tyler Oakley's Auguest 

www.youtube.com/tyleroakley

I have many favorite Youtubers and Tyler Oakley is definitely one of them. When he announced that he would be bringing back his month of collaborations again this year I was ecstatic. I love collab videos and no one does them better than Tyler. If you haven't watched the entire months worth of videos then I highly suggest you go and check them out. Tyler's laugh is the best sound you will ever hear and there are tons of them during Auguest :) Some of my favorites from this year were his videos with Zoella (Zoe Sugg), Connor Franta, Miranda Sings & Jenna Marbles. 

This was a very short and very late favorites but I am going to be on top of next month! I've missed this my blog and am going to give it the love it deserves :) As always let me know what your monthly favorites were in the comments below!
