Cake for Breakfast

Sweatshirt + Leather Skirt

This weekend, we finally had our first party in our new apartment. Although we moved in more than two months ago, September and October were just too crazy for a housewarming party. For a night playing hostess, I wanted to wear something fun! So, I opted for doubling up on my favorite pattern and pairing a casual sweatshirt with a faux leather skirt. I also made a super easy concoction that was the perfect fall drink, combining warm apple cider with Smirnoff’s new Cinna-Sugar Twist vodka…highly recommend it!

This was the perfect night to take Maybelline’s new Color Elixir lip gloss for a spin. Refinery 29 and Maybelline sent me three shades of this new line to try, and I was instantly drawn to the pretty purple. I loved the packaging, and I honestly thought it was lipstick before I opened it. The colors have staying power, but they’re not heavy or sticky. I will definitely be keeping these in my purse for moments when I want a punch of color, but I’m not quite feeling lipstick.  Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Kate Spade pouch. I’ll be honest and say that we snapped these photos the day after the party. The pouch was a last minute addition, but it will definitely be making many more appearances in the future!
