With cooler temperatures moving in slowly, thin (but cozy) sweaters are my favorite thing to wear around this time of year. Unfortunately these temperatures sometimes bring out the monotone, dark and bland colors out of the closet. But recently I've been drawn to fun sweaters with bold and unique patterns rather than just solid colors or stripes. A few of these are in my price range others are just a dream but they are all my current favorites!<br />
<br />
Are you guys feeling these graphic sweaters or do you prefer sticking to solid colors?<br />

On my birthday and I can say I am blessed to have another year of life. I'm thankful for so many things but especially my husband, family, friends and all of the amazing doors the Lord opened up for me this year. The list could go on but I wanted to make a short list of things I plan to change/add to my routine this year. One thing that I am sure of at this point in my life is that time waits for no one. Keeping that in mind this year I plan to use every minute God gives me to accomplish something, big or small. <br />

Art in all its forms is always admirable but there's something extra fun and feminine about sketched or watercolored art. Besides just looking at these works of art they can also be printed and hung in your bedroom or bathroom walls, I also like to use them as wallpapers on my iPhone, another easy DIY is printing these out and make cards for friends and family. The options are endless. </div>

One of the things that immediately catches my attention when flipping through the J.Crew Style guide is the lipstick colors they use. From bright oranges and reds to peachy colors they always manage to draw me in. This time around however I found it impossible to find a gorgeous matte peach tone they used in the latest Style Guide and so I had to get a little creative. So last week I went
into MAC and put together a color combination that comes close to what I
was trying to find. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To get the look I used:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>MAC Naked liner (all over lip)</li>
<li>MAC Mandarin lipstick</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I
kept everything else simple using a neutral mineral shimmery powder as
eyeshadow, black liquid liner and a very natural cream blush (a new
favorite by the way)!<br />

<br />
So as I mentioned last week my husband and I moved to Miami (we actually just arrived last night) and unfortunately part of that process involved having to also "relocate" and store my make-up in a small place that could be easily be moved around since we had an 11 hour drive to make. I kept my cosmetics, nail and hair products <a href="http://morninglola.blogspot.com/2012/08/vanity-edition.html" target="_blank">here</a> but for now I rediscovered this metal make-up box and it has turned out to be quite efficient. <br />

With <a href="http://morninglola.blogspot.com/2012/09/dear-atlanta.html" target="_blank">the move</a> coming up our last few days have been hectic to say the least. But all in all we have been making the most of our time here by spending time with family and friends. I wanted to wear a dress this weekend but when the weather dipped into the 60's on Sunday a maxi skirt was my best option. One of the most versatile items in my closet has got to be this skirt, I can dress it up or down, with flats or heels and it works in hot or cold temperatures. Obviously I should invest in a few more maxi's since I get so much use out of them. Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! <br />

<br />
This upcoming week will be extremely hectic as we finish packing our belongings and head out of the city we've been living in for the past three years, Atlanta and drive back to Miami. While we are excited for the change and all the new things to come it's always hard leaving family and friends. Goodbye's are never pleasant.<br />
<br />
After living in "the South" for sometime I can truly say I am a sun and beach girl at heart, however this city definitely has its charm. In an effort to make the most of this last week I decided to make a list of some of the memories I'll always cherish from my time in this city, I'd like to think of it as my "thank you" card to Atlanta.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>While living here I got married to my husband (even though our wedding was actually in Puerto Rico) we were living here in Atlanta. </li>
<li>Experienced snow for the first time!</li>
<li>One day in the city I had an epiphany and realized what my true passion was and subsequently changed my major from Political Science to Journalism.</li>
<li>Graduated from college</li>
<li>Was able to land an amazing internship at one of the top broadcasting companies (later becoming my full-time job) where I have learned and trained next to some of the best and most talented individuals in the industry.</li>
<li>Being away from what I was used to allowed me to grow and mature in a way that I may not have otherwise.</li>
<li>Lastly, where I took the leap of faith and decided to start my newest project, this blog, which has opened my eyes and creativity in a way I will always be grateful for.</li>
</ul>

This outfit includes two of my favorite things: <b><i>pink and leopard</i></b>. I've had this H&M blouse forever and for one reason or another never got around to wearing it except once. I dusted it off and paired it with this little cardigan (which literally can be matched with <i><b>anything</b></i> in my closet) and pulled it all together. <br />

On Saturday the weather felt slightly cold in the morning and after searching through my closet and not finding anything to wear I immediately ran over to my husband's closet and found this gem. It's so oversized that I had to pair it with tight jeans to balance it out. And even though the temperature ended going back up into the 70's later that day (which made for an extremely uncomfortable day) I was happy to have made a new discovery and I ended up shopping his closet the entire weekend.</div>

We went on a family apple-picking adventure (wanted to try something a little different) and I found the cutest little apple! However, be warned "apple-picking" sounds a lot nicer and fancier than what you will actually encounter on your adventure.</div>

Even though fashion week is all about new clothes and style I couldn't help but pay more attention to the new beauty trends than the actual clothes going down the runways. I rounded up a few (super easy and simple) techniques, from switching my regular black mascara for a cobalt color or applying a thing line of hot pink eyeliner, to switch up my everyday make-up routine this Fall and Spring. <br />

Even though black and white will forever be the perfect color combination for me (for fashion and home) I love exploring other options. This kelly green blazer quickly became a favorite when I spotted it a couple of weeks back at a local boutique. I can't wait to layer it with different jewel tones like citrine or ruby red.<br />

It has been a very long time since I went on a "first date". My husband and I dated for 4.5 years and have now been married for two years, so it has been six and a half years to be exact. Even though we don't have a scheduled date night every week we do like to keep the tradition of going out on dates alive. There's just something special about getting dressed up and trying out a new restaurant, show or going to a concert that never really gets old.<br />
<br />
So I compiled this short list of nine date-night essentials that I have found to be fail-proof, for a first-date or just you're regularly scheduled date-night. <br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/zelia-strap-pointy-toe-open/vp/v=1/845524441943396.htm?folderID=2534374302112441&fm=other-shopbysize&colorId=42213" target="_blank">A fun heel</a>. It can either be colorful or printed but it should definitely be eye-catching. <br />

I chose a red nail polish because I think it's the ideal way to add that touch of red without over-doing it. I would not recommend red lipstick on a first date especially if you're going out to eat, so many things could go wrong here!<br />

This is the easiest way to freshen up after dinner, especially if your heading to a movie afterwards. Solid perfume is so easy to apply and leaves a soft scent, that way it won't smell like you went into the bathroom to spray yourself down!<br />

There's no better way to feel sexy than a fresh tan, bronzer is the closest thing to that (without the harmful effects). Brush a little where the sun would naturally hit you: over your forehead, nose, cheeks and under your jawbone.<br />

Even though a girl can never really have enough lipsticks sometimes I'm not too sure I want to step out of my"color comfort zone" and try colors I've never tested in the past. So I figured a safe way of discovering new shades within my comfort zone is by mixing colors I already have with each other. I usually go with a nude shade for my lips, orangey tones or bold <b><a href="http://morninglola.blogspot.com/2012/07/secrets-of-red-lips.html" target="_blank">red lips</a></b>.<br />
<br />
The process of mixing the lips colors is extremely simple.<br />
<br />
<u>1. I just heated in the microwave whatever colors I wanted to mix together at 15-second intervals until the lipstick was melted (be careful not to burn it). </u><br />
<br />
<u>2. Then I placed the new-found shades in<b> <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/containers?productId=10033270&N=80802+1000040&Nao=0" target="_blank">these</a></b> small plastic containers and let cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes.</u><br />
<br />
If you want any color you mix together or a lipstick color you already have in more of a lipgloss texture, just repeat the same process with a little dab of Vaseline to get a smoother and shinier texture.<br />

Fall is officially underway and I couldn't be happier, it's actually my favorite season of the year. However one of the most difficult parts of Fall is knowing when exactly to leave the short skirts, sleeveless tops and sandals behind and dress up completely in Fall wear. That's when this little number comes into play, a denim jacket. It can be so versatile year round but I found this weekend it can be the ideal transitional piece for the Fall, when it's still warm but slightly chilly at night. This one happens to be <b><a href="http://morninglola.blogspot.com/2012/08/thrifting-101.html" target="_blank">thrifted</a> </b>and I can honestly tell you I didn't take it off the entire weekend, which you can see if you follow along on my Instagram adventures @cynthiarod!<br />

I've been wanting to do a tomboy/masculine outfit for a while now and I finally got around to it. I added the <a href="http://morninglola.blogspot.com/2012/07/secrets-of-red-lips.html" target="_blank">red lip</a> to add a dash of femininity to this otherwise "no fuss" outfit. This gray t-shirt is my new love! It's from Target and costs only $8 and the fabric is perfect, not to tight and not too loose. I bought one in gray and one in white and they have been on constant rotation ever since. <br />

Thrifting is truly an inexpensive way to score classic staples for your closet. I'm no professional thrifter by any means but it has become a norm for me to pop into a thrift store once in a while and along the way I've gathered a few tips that may help you if your new to "thrifting".<br />
<br />
1. <b><u>Visit thrift stores in the metro area of town</u></b>. This will almost gurantee that you'll find at least one good piece of clothing since metro area's have more people, more diversity, and a larger population, making their selection more varied than a store in the 'burbs.<br />
<br />
2. <b><u>Be open to trying bigger sizes.</u></b> I can attest to how difficult it can be to find small sizes in thrift stores (I am a size three in jeans, skirts, and pants and a small in blouses/shirts). What I do now is look for pieces that I like or that draw my attention then I try them on no matter the size because many times the clothes were measured by different standards than what we are used to in our common shopping stores (i.e. Zara, H&M, Forever 21, etc.) Also even though an item may fit a bit large you can make it work by styling it "a la Rachel Zoe" and of course there's always the option of getting it altered.<br />
<br />
3. <b><u>Don't forget the delicate cycle on your washing machine.</u></b> Personally, I prefer to get my thrifted items dry cleaned whenever possible, since I usually score skirts made from silk and other delicate fabrics, but when I'm in a hurry to wear it or just don't want to spend the extra money I wash my clothes on the delicate cycle and it gets the job done. It cleans the item without abusing the fabric too much.<br />
<br />
Do you have any advice you've picked up while thrifting?<br />

Packing your entire weekend bag only to realize you forgot it at home when you get to your destination is definitely a travel fail and that's exactly what happened to me this past weekend. I was a little upset not having everything I wanted but thankfully I was able to get this outfit together with the help of my family. The shirt was borrowed from my sister-in-law and the shoes where borrowed from my mom. In order to switch things up a bit I used my animal print make-up bag as a clutch. Thanks to their help it ended up being a relaxing and fantastic weekend spent indoors playing board games, cooking and a few outings.</div>

Aunque estaba un poco frustrada, con la ayuda de mi familia pude vestirme con

añadirle un toce diferente use mi bolsa de cosméticos como una cartera. Gracias

Even though Fall is quickly approaching and fashion magazines, blogs, and stores are already showcasing their Fall collections, I want and intend to fully savour every moment left of the Summer. I have to admit cold weather has it's perks, like being able to wear gorgeous boots, fluffy scarves and warm coats, the truth is sometimes the cold weather in the morning, frozen windows and allergy causing heaters can really outway the fashion con's.<br />
<br />
One of the best parts about living in Miami is being able to enjoy Summer-type weather year-round. So I figured who better than some fabulous Miami-bloggers to inspire us to enjoy whatever is left of our Summer wardrobes before (those living in the north) have to pack it up and store it away.<br />

One of my all time favorite places in our house to be at is my vanity. This is where all my "girly" tools are stored (e.g. make-up, nail polishes, perfume, jewelry, make-up brushes) and the one place in our house that is just for me. I spend a lot of time here getting ready, doing my make-up, hair and nails so that's why I decided to personalize it and truly make it my own with a couple of my favorite things. I usually have a candle burning, my latest magazines and pictures.</div>

I keep my make-up brushes stored in these wine and champagne glasses. The wine glass stores brushes that I use for eye make-up including eyebrows and the champagne glass holds brushes for the face such as blush and foundation brushes.</div>

Quite a few things have occurred in the last week that I want to share with you guys but first things first I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Ok so here it goes: 1.) I lost my camera! (Which is why I wasn't able to post last week, I think I might have left it in Miami but now I can't remember, I have the worst memory but either way - my apologies.) and 2.) As you can see I cut my hair! I decided I wanted a change after I don't even know how many years with the same ol' long hair. Initially I wanted to go shorter but I'll wait till this length sinks in until I go shorter.</div>

I wore this outfit yesterday, first I was going to wear it with a gray t-shirt, then I tried the skirt with a chambray shirt but I ended up with this. Oh..and I can't forget to send a special shout-out to my sis-in-law who not only let me borrow her amazing camera but was also my director/photographer. I think we got something going here ;-) </div>
