The Office Chic

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter (both @eeenricaaa, so is Snapchat), you may notice that I’m currently in New York. I’m visiting a friend here and it’s quite exciting to be back in one of my favourite city. I’m really looking forward to explore NYC and, well, EAT!

I’m not the type of person that travel light when it comes to my makeup. This time, though, I really tried to condense it and only bring stuff I would actually use on this trip. If there’s anything I need though, there will be a Sephora nearby XD. So let’s take a peek into my travel makeup bag before I pack it.

Makeup bag: SEPHORA COLLECTION The Vacationer (not shown)

Eyes

Cream Eyeshadows: Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Rose Gold & Cocoa
Powder Eyeshadows: Marc Jacobs Beauty Style Eye-Con No.7 - Plush Shadow in The Lolita 206
Mascara #1: Estée Lauder Little Black Primer
Mascara #2: tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes™ 4-in-1 Mascara
Pencil Liner: Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon
Liquid Liner: Kanebo KATE Super Sharp Liner in Black

Looking at the list, it might seem like a long list. I guarantee you, all of the above, plus my skincare, fit into my makeup bag with room to spare. I do find myself not using eyeshadow as much because I’m always running late lol. But I’ll try to use it when we go out for a nice dinner.

What are your must-have items inside your travel makeup bag?

Until next time,

Leaves are turning, the sun comes up a bit later than before, it's officially sweater weather. Fall is definitely my favourite fashion season, because you get to layer, but it's not too cold yet for mini skirts. But if you know me, I often go with cozy and comfy clothing, because it makes me feel at home even when I'm outside (I'm a hopeless couch potato).

So I'm excited to be pulling out my chunky knit sweater from boxes and wear them... Starting with this number...

Bucket bags have taken the fashion world by storm in the past few seasons and it's not going anywhere. The highly coveted MANSUR GAVRIEL bucket bag still has a long waiting list in store and still sell out within a day upon release. It's still a hot commodity.

Time to get your cardio in... Shopping that is! @MANSURGAVRIEL relaunches today! I love my regular Black/Flamma bucket & Rosa/Rosa mini bucket! #happygirlhappybag

You might have seen me worn it all over my Instagram. I can't help it. After using them for over a year, I absolutely love the MANSUR GAVRIEL bucket bags. Its simple design makes it appropriate for many occasion, which I appreciate. The pop of colour is inside the bag, so it's subtle enough but it does make an impact.

But if the MG bucket bag is not your cup of tea, there are also many kinds of bucket bags available on the market right now from ZARA to J.Crew, from Baggu to Mackage.

Every Fall, I fall into the same pattern of loving everything burgundy and crimson (haha). I came to realized I start wearing anything that's in that colour family. Case in point—I have been switching nail polishes, but they are all fall in the same colour range (haha)...

We've seen it all over runway (and all over the Kardashians' wardrobe). I have to agree with Kim though, "I love turtlenecks". Maybe not in the hot Summer, but I definitely love it in the colder months. It's cozy, it's comfortable, and it's functional. In fact, I already wore it 3 times in the past 2 weeks... Oops.
