FAVORITO FRIDAY: KIEHL'S ULTRA FACIAL CREAM

Combination skin is tricky. Normal, oily, and dry... all in one place. Targeting each other problem with just one product seems like the impossible - use a light moisturizer for an oily t-zone and your cheeks are still super dry, or hydrate dry areas and your forehead looks insanely shiny by the end of the day.

After searching and trying out different moisturizers, I have finally found one that solves all my problems - Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. (Are you really that surprised it's Kiehl's?) This 24-hour moisturizer is light and comfortable, but still tough enough to fight the Chicago weather. I have finally figured out the combination skin puzzle!

You're welcome.

FALL AND WINTER ACCESSORIES

The fall and winter are perfect for layering, and now that you're cozy from yesterday's post, time to add on some accessories! From beanies to ponchos, scarves to gloves - you can never have too much and the art of layering is almost foolproof. You can mix and match multiple items from my favorites below and that layered look will look oh so, effortless. 

Speaking of favorites, if you're looking for the perfect slouchy beanie, look no further than my top must-have item ever, (you've probably seen it on repeat on our Instagram) - this crosshatch beanie from Moorea Seal. Perfect for that casual look or when you want to skip a hair wash or two - I won't judge.

Top to bottom, left to right: Rag & Bone Hunter Cap with Shearling ($255.00) - CUSP by Neiman Marcus, Super Cozy Armwarmer ($28.00) - Free People, All The Trimmings Colorblock Beanie ($78.00) - Kate Spade New York, Checked Scarf ($29.90) - Zara, Super-Soft Cape ($52.00) - Topshop, Waffle Brushed Blanket Scarf ($59.00) - Urban Outfitters, Eyelash Knit Pompom Beanie ($8.90) - Forever 21, UGG Australia Wool Blend Gloves ($75.00) - Nordstrom, and Crosshatch Knit Beanie ($20.00) - Moorea Seal.

What winter accessory can't you live without?

NOVEMBER '14 SPOTIFY PLAYLIST

The cold weather is here to stay and all we want to do is curl up in our cozy sweaters and blankets with a cup of hot tea in hand and listen to good music. Before we know it, we'll be watching snow fall outside our windows. But don't worry, we'll have a separate playlist for that. Listen to our November tunes here!

What are you listening to right now? (Besides Taylor Swift...)

FIVE CHICAGO FASHION BLOGGERS YOU NEED TO FOLLOW VIA INSTAGRAM

Working for Chicago Blogger Network, and being a blogger myself, has given me the opportunity to meet a ton of bloggers. I've drooled over their food posts, admired their home decor, and imagined running away with their closets, all thanks to stalking... ahem, following... them on Instagram. That's why I've put together a lis of five Chicago fashion bloggers you need to be following on Instagram - you'll understand my desires once you do.
