I recently bought this simple maxi dress from Calvin Klein and I absolutely looove how versatile it is! Maxi dresses like these are great for the summer for wearing on its own, but when the chilly autumn weather starts rolling in, it gets a little too cold for that. So, I decided to share a few of my favourite ways to style maxi dresses so that you can keep wearing them even after summer ends! 

For my first look, I paired the dress with a short-sleeved mock neck cream shirt with black booties. I also added a simple necklace because I find that the chest area can look a little empty. 

Layering a shirt under a spaghetti strap dress is one of my favourite combinations. I find that it just looks so cute and girly! 

For a more dressy, night-out look, pair the dress with a lace bralette and top it with a leather jacket! And to finish the look, I always like to add a choker :) 

Put on some heels and you're ready to head out! 

And there you have it! Three fun ways to vamp up a simple maxi dress :) Hope you like them as much as I do! 

Love,

Lena

Hey guys!

For the month of October, LipMonthly sent us these super pretty red fall leaf pouches. It included 4 different full size lip products that we have swatched and reviewed below. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Keep reading, because we both have discount codes for your first purchase!

October LipMonthly Includes: 

Cargo Lipgloss in Sahara

Hikari Lipstick in Romance 

Be a Bombshell Lipstick in Charmed 

Laritzy lipliner in Deep Orchid 

Cargo Lipgloss in Sahara

A glittery peachy nude lip gloss. Doesn't have a particular smell but a light fragrance of what a typical lip gloss would smell like. Applied on, there isn't much colour, but definitely adds a sparkle! We would recommend using this on top of a lipstick versus by itself. The texture is a bit sticky, but manageable. 

Hikari Lipstick in Romance 

This lipstick shade is a peachy pink, and goes really well with the Cargo lip gloss. The lipstick is neither moisturizing, nor drying. However, it is leaning more on the sheer side and requires multiple swatches to get the opacity in the photo. We did notice that the lipstick fades after an hour or so. Although its consistency and lasting-ness might not be the best, it's a great everyday shade we can see ourselves wearing!

Bottom swatch: Hikari Lipstick with Cargo Lip gloss on top (looks so cute together!)

Be a Bombshell Lipstick in Charmed 

Laritzy lipliner in Deep Orchid 

For a lipliner, we felt that the Laritzy Deep Orchid was very creamy! It is super pigmented and leans more purple than plum. We wouldn't hesitate actually just using this lipliner by itself, but it would also work great as a base. 

Here's a close-up of my new pair of heels I got from Charles and Keith! I am in love with the clear/gradient heels. Every girl needs a pair of simple black heels because I find they go together so well with fall outfits. 

Ah, the blanket scarf. Who could forget those? I am obsessed with blanket scarves and fall is the perfect weather to bring them out. When it's not too cold, a blanket scarf works great in place of a coat! Wrap it around you like a shawl and you're good to go. 

Here's another look I put together that's great for the fall. I don't usually wear neutral beige tones, but autumn is the one exception. I think it just looks so nice with the colourful leaves and fall atmosphere!
