Favorite Things of 2015

Fashion

Happy New Year! Like everyone else in the world, I’m looking forward to this year and all that it holds! I’m expectant for what God has in store for me. As excited as I am for 2016 I wanted to look back at some of my favorite things of 2015. So I’ve rounded of some of my favorite products. 🙂

Beauty

1. Laura Mercier Moisture Supreme Foundation

I’ve always thought liquid foundation felt heavy and sticky. Until I found this. The best.

2. Beauty Blender

Game. Changer. If you were to buy any beauty product this year… It should be this! It makes your makeup go on so flawless. Ugh thinking about it now makes me excited.

3. Essie Nail Polish in ‘French Affair’

The perfect pink!

4. Tom Ford Lip in ‘Violet Fatale’

This lipstick is super expensive but a little goes a long way. Not only does it go on smooth, but it stays on allllll day! Every time I wear it I get tons of compliments… 🙂

5. Burberry Brit Perfume

So yummy.

6. LUSH Bath Bomb

If you’re a bath person, they rock. If you don’t like baths then they aren’t worth it. But since I’m a bath person, they’re my fav!

Home

1. Apple TV

To binge watch Law & Order SVU on all day. #noshame

2. Crosley Record Player

This record player doubles as a piece of decor. Clearly a pink record table is necessary.

3. Humans of New York

Such a great coffee table book!

4. My Little Steamer

Got this bad boy back in August and it’s amazing. It takes less than 30 seconds to heat up. I can’t iron my clothes b/c irons scare me (true story) so I was looking for a steamer and this guy is perfect!

5. Capri Blue Volcano Candle

Who doesn’t want their house to smell like Anthropologie?!?!?!

Fashion

1. Kendra Scott Earrings

Such a staple!

2. Lace Up Flats

OBSESSED. They seriously look good with everything!!

3. Valentino Rockstud

My biggest investment of 2015 and I love them so much I’m thinking about buying them in another color. #toomuch?

4. Coordinates Collection Bracelet

Classic Piece

5. Ray-Ban Aviators

I’m a loyal aviator fan and these are my newest obsession.

6. Nike Shoes

Who knew I would start wearing sneakers… These changed my opinion about sneakers.

7. Plaid Shirt

Can’t. Stop. Buying. Plaid. Shirts.

8. Leather Jacket

When I was in New York it seemed like everyone wore a leather jacket so I was like ‘I NEED one.’ Boy was I right.

9. Saltwater Sandals

My favorite summer sandals. So comfortable. Perfect color. Need I say more?

Always,

Hannah

December 21st, 2015: Winter Hues

Fashion

Skirt: J Crew (the color skirt above is sold out but I’m linking the skirt in a different color) // Similar Sweater // Purse, Similar // Sunglasses // Shoes // Necklace // Lipstick in ‘Violet Fatale’

I’m loving skirts this season! Since I live in Texas and we don’t have a winter (it’s supposed to be 75 on Christmas) skirts are great for looking put together but not too hot! While I was at the J Crew Factory a few weeks ago and spotted this skirt. I am so glad I got it! Here are it’s greatest qualities: 1. the length. Finally something that isn’t grandma long or Britney Spears circa 2003. 2. stretchy waist line. HELLLO. 3. Pockets. That’s all. 4. The color. I was a little skeptical about the color at first but it is such a neutral! Throw on your favorite heels, boots, or flats, and you’ve got a great winter look.

This outfit has a pretty funny story behind it.. During this shoot My friend Abi convinced me to just change in the park we were shooting in instead of walking to my car. So as my two friends are hold a blanket around me a man drives up in a recreation truck. I’m IN THE MIDDLE of changing and I am MORTIFIED. Apparently we were on private property. The experience was terrible. So the moral of the story: Don’t change in a public park. LOL. Happy Monday, y’all!

Always,

Hannah

Friday December 4rd, 2015: Snug As A Pug Christmas Pajamas

Fashion

Pajamas: BP // Mug: Anthropologie // Glasses: Warby Parker

I have a slight obsession with PJs. No lie. My mom makes fun of me because every time we walk into a store I head straight to the Pajamas section. There is just nothing better than a cute pajama set. My mom always got us cute PJs to open on Christmas Eve. I still look forward to this tradition. This year I got my PJs a little early… I just couldn’t resist wearing them. They have pugs on them! How stinkin’ cute?

Always,

Hannah

Tuesday December 1st, 2015: Geometric Scarf

Scarf: BP ($24) // Jeans // Similar Shirt // Shoes // Purse, Similar // Watch, Similar // Similar Hat // Lipstick: Tom Ford in Violet Fatale

Happy Tuesday, y’all! I’m sharing a super easy fall outfit. I’m all about scarfs this season. They can pull your outfit together! But there’s a few reasons I love this scarf in particular… Example 1: it’s sooo soft. Example 2: I love the colors. You don’t look like a Christmas tree when you wear it (y’all know what I’m talking about). Example 3: it’s not too thick so you can wear it without breaking a sweat.

I am SO overwhelmed with school.. Classes have not been too hard or challenging so far until the last week. I want to cry at the thought of taking 5 finals in two days. So please pray for me and the unhealthy amount of coffee I’m going to consume in the next 9 days. 😉 Things will probably be quiet around here for the next week so give me some grace, please! I hope everyone has a great day 🙂

Always,

Hannah

Tuesday November 24th, 2015: Feelin’ Fall

Fashion

Shirt: J.Crew Factory (and on sale!) // Jeans: Topshop // Purse: Rebecca Minkoff // Necklace: Similar // Boots (they don’t sell this exact color any longer but I’m linking a very similar color in the same style) // Watch, Similar, Similar // Lipstick: Tom Ford in ‘Violet Fatale’ // Sunglasses

As mentioned on my Instagram yesterday, plaid is a must have this fall! I love to dress it up with a cute necklace or even layer it with a chunky sweater. I picked this plaid shirt a few weeks back at J. Crew Factory (they have THE best sales!) I love the mix of red and gray.

Here’s the low down on these jeans: I always have a hard time finding good jeans that fit me (because I don’t have a backside, they always fall down!) I bought a pair of Jaime jeans from Topshop and I’m obsessed. They are $70 dollars, which is a good price for the quality and cut! So if you’re also a little flat on the backside you need to try out these jeans. You’ll be glad you won’t be hiking up your jeans all day. Trust me.

Make sure to follow me on Instagram! I’ve got something fun planned for my readers next week you won’t want to miss out on! 🙂 Happy Tuesday, loves!

In Christ,

Hannah

Monday November 23rd, 2015: Thanksgiving Look #4

Fashion

*click on the item directly above*

Here’s one last Thanksgiving outfit inspiration. This outfit is one of my favs! I’m a sucker for a plaid shirt and this one is on sale! You can see the other Thanksgiving outfit inspiration boards here, here, and here. After school tomorrow I’m free for a whole week and I’m SO excited. I’m headed West to visit my family. There is simply nothing better than some family time and time in the country to disconnect for a while. I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday! ❤

Thursday November 19th, 2015: Thanksgiving Look # 3

Fashion

Happy Thursday! When I’m having a rough week I can always count on some outfit inspo to lift my spirits. This outfit did the trick!

This plaid skirt probably brings me too much excitement. It’s so festive without being too much. I’m LOVING the lace up flats trend… I got some a few weeks back from Steve Madden (which are a great quality). Then I realized Old Navy had a pair for half the price… I don’t know how great the quality is but I do know I like that $29 dollar price tag! Hollaaa. Another trend I’m loving is the mini bag. If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw my new pink mini bag from Henri Bendel… It. Is. Perfect.

As Always,

Hannah

Wednesday November 18th, 2015: Thanksgiving Look #2

Fashion

Here’s outfit inspo #2! This outfit is a little more relaxed and casual than yesterdays. Nothing is better than a black and white combo with some gold touches and a leopard clutch. Nothing. And I LOVE these Over The Knee boots… Ah they’re just so dreamy.

I hope everyone is having a great week so far! I’m looking forward to a few days off next week… My classes are coming to a close and all my projects seem to be due the same day. So ready to get this semester behind me. #overit.

Always,

Hannah

Tuesday November 17th, 2015: Thanksgiving Outfit Idea #1

Fashion

you can click on the item picture right above this!^

Thanksgiving is filled with so many great memories! Our whole family gets together and it involves my moms infamous corn casserole and my cousin Bailee’s cheesecake. Mmm I just love Thanksgiving! Here’s some outfit inspo for those of us who search for something cute and not too tight (that way we can eat un-godly amounts of dressing.) 😉

I’m loving the navy and burgundy trend this year! It’s so rich and classic. This shift dress has been sitting in my cart at Nordstrom for a few weeks and I think it’s finally time to just buy it already! It’s the perfect kind of dress for the crazy weather we have here in Texas. Throw on some gorg gold accessories, some classic riding boots, and hat… Cute and effortless. Happy Tuesday. 🙂

As Always,
Hannah

Details:

Cape: Boutique, Similar, Similar // Tank: Similar // Jeans: Topshop // Purse: Celine, Similar // Boots: Similar // Watch: Michele, Similar (& on sale!), Similar // Necklace: Dogeared – my favorite necklace EVER & on sale! // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban // Bracelet: Jewelry by Molly C

I’m sharing one of my favorite outfits yet! I’ve been on the search for a cape blazer for a few months and I stumbled across this one and on major sale at a boutique. #score. (I found some similar white capes so you can re-create this look easily.) I layered the blazer with a simple black tank top to create a chic look. Pulled back hair + my favorite black booties… Perfect outfit!

Also, this bracelet I’m wearing has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! It adds such a cute touch to my outfit. I mean that exposed stone *insert heart eye emoji.* Make sure to follow Molly on Instagram and if you’re interested in buying something, her contact information is on her Instagram. Her jewels make THE best gifts and it’s just that time of year. 🙂

I’m SO glad it’s Friday! I’m so excited about this weekend. I’m an “adult” leader (I use the word adult very loosely) for Northplace Students. We have our retreat this weekend and I’m so excited to spend time with the kids and disconnect for the weekend. Also, tomorrow is my mom’s birthday, I know I’m not going to be with her on her birthday… #worstdaughter. But I have a fun surprise for her next week, so don’t worry! My mom is my best friend and my favorite person. I’m so thankful I get to call her my mom. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

^^ She’s the cutest thing EVER.

Thanks for stopping by and as always I’d love to pray for you! If you ever have a prayer request or question email me at thatotherhannahblog@gmail.com.
