Hi loves! Long time no talk. I've been busy moving home from Europe and almost straight to NYC for a few months. Starting school, a product development jewelry internship and FASHION WEEK right now (!!!), it's been busy to say the least. I've been documenting most of my outfits here. These are a few from the past few weeks. Which is your favorite?

Day In The Life

Here are a few tidbits from my life in the past few weeks. I hope you're having an amazing holiday season so far.

1. It's finally gotten cold and this ASOS sweater is so cozy without sacrificing any style. 

2. Some days a vintage flannel and standout accessories is perfect.

3. Giant PVC sparkly bows caught my eye while Christmas decor shopping with Momma.

4. I've been testing the Eyeko mascara and liner for a few days now. Post on this will come soon with a GIVEAWAY!

5. My friend Lyndsey, a fellow blogger, and I did this pretty champagne and navy glitter ombre the other day. We're both Bloom Beauty Ambassadors and the polish was one that Lyndsey got to test!

6. I've been a little naughty at Ulta lately. 

7. Granola and greek yogurt is one of my favee healthy lunch options.

8. Working on a mock Victoria's Secret trade show booth for my Merchandising Presentations class.

9. An exciting package from Reebonz that I got a few weeks ago.

10. Pretty holiday decorations downtown.

11. Glam Gram jewels of the day on my way to work.

12. The most amazing group of girls, my best friends. Morgan, Steph, Kristin, Alli and Denver the kitty, of course.

Tumblr Crush Thursday

Hi beautiful readers. Today I have a few inspiring pictures for you from my Tumblr! I hope you love the glamorous feel from this week like I do! 

In the week of December 10th I was crushing on:

 I've been having a real craving for designer shoes lately. More than normal. How could any girl NOT after watching this video?! YSL's and Loubies...come home to me. 

 If you don't recognize this quote, you need to watch Pride and Prejudice. The Kiera Knightly version. I saw it for the first time a few weeks ago and I was immediately smitten. Reading the book is on my Christmas-Break-To-Do list. 

 How gorgeous is this dress! I'm craving fancy party outfits. And of course, champs. My favorite drink of all time. Especially with strawberries. Even the cheap stuff makes you feel fancy, ya know?

All red outfits and bed head hair. Some of my favorite things. Wishing I could wake up looking half as gorgeous as either of these girls. 

What are you loving this week? Do you have any more suggestions of books I need to read over break?  I'm a book worm at heart. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

The Scoop: My Shower and Skincare

Hi lovely readers! Long time, no talk. It's exam week here at KSU and I've gotten 3 our of 5 done. I figure I should be studying for accounting that deserves some procrastination/blogging time, don't you?! 

I've been thinking that it would be interesting to show you products that I use on a day-to-day basis.

I love reading posts like these and was actually inspired by a skincare post from Jennifer Stano's blog! She is a model/designer living in Cali and she is just gorgeous. Her skin is amazing too!

I hope you find these types of posts as entertaining and helpful as I do. In the next week watch for makeup and hair sections as well!

*Note: I have acne-prone and oily skin, and my skincare routine is adjusted as such. If you have dry skin, these products may not be for you.*

First is what I use in the shower and on a daily basis! My shampoo and conditioner change almost monthly, but these two are favorites right now. 

Shampoo: The Loreal Evercreme Intense Nourishing shampoo I got in a recent Target sample bag and loved so much I had to go buy it full sized. It has an amazing lather, smell and doesn't give my hair that "too-clean" feeling. 

Conditioner: This Clear Scalp Therapy conditioner has been a favorite for a few months and IS a repurchase. I love it because you can put all the way to your roots and it doesn't weigh your hair down! It also smells amazing.

Razor: I always use the Gilette Venus Embrace razor. I don't use shaving cream (or anything!) and this has amazing moisture strips. I haven't cut myself in months, promise. 

Not Pictured: I also use a coconut body scrub with a loofa along with a Dove Sensitive bar soap to wash my face. Simple and easy!

Acne Treatments: On my face I use the Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion every single night. This helps keep my acne calm, reduces the swelling of all cystic bumps and dries everything up. Fast. I shake it up, squeeze a little "pool" of it into one palm, and use my fingers to spread it into my skin.

Moisturizer: When I'm feeling a little dry I use the Control Moisturizer for Oily Skin, also from Mario Badescu. This is great without leaving me greasy or oily throughout the day/night.

Next, some products that I use weekly, but not every single day.

Face Wash: About once or twice a week I use the Mario Badescu Enzyme Gel Cleanser. This is an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid face wash, which means that is has AHA chemicals in it to help break down the dead skin cells and clear them from the surface. It's an exfoliator without being too harsh (great for acne-prone or sensitive skin).

Face Masks: I alternate between these two favorites. The Mario Basedcu Drying Cream is a face mask OR leave on treatment. It really dries up any stubborn bumps you may have. 

A tip my friend Lyndsey gave me: put on the Buffering Lotion then a layer of this Drying Mask. Let it sit for 20 mins. then wash it off. Reapply the Buffering Lotion and go to bed. When you wake up everything will look better/less-swollen/gone! I also use the Ahava Purifying Mud Mask which is gentler, but they clay draws out any impurities!

Moisterizers: Sometimes, like in the winter, I buff up my moisturizing routine. I use this Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil all over my face, but particularly around my nose where I seem to get driest. This product is a bit expensive, so look for the travel size in Ulta or Sephora if you're unsure about it. At night I use Vasaline on my lips and I always wake up with silky smooth lips, ready for any makeup!

These last products are ones I use for my body.

Lotion: I hate lotion. Anybody who knows me will tell you that. I don't know why but the thought of putting clothes on overtop of slippery, just-lotioned skin grosses me out. A lot. And then came the Victorias Secret Love Spell Body Butter. This body butter, let me tell you. I've raved about it in videos and it remains my favorite. It sinks in and dries EXTREMELY quickly, isn't greasy like a normal lotion and smells HEAVENLY. It's my favorite VS scent. Put on right out of the shower, in the steamy bathroom.

Special Occasion Lotion: This Prtty Peaushun Lotion is my weapon of choice. It's a celeb favorite for red-carpet nights and I can see why. It's a bit expensive, but smells amazing and has a glow that is unreal. Mine is in the light color. They have darker shades as well if you want to add some tan, or a "colorless" formula to slap on anytime. I use then when I go dancing to make my legs look killer. It works.

Deodorant: This is nothing special but I use the Ban Antiperspirant. It smells good and does what any antiperspirant should. (However I've been hearing amazing things about Donna Karan Cashmere...have any of you tried it?!)

Self Tanner: The True Blue Spray Tan (on sale!) by Bath and Body Works is my favorite at the moment. It has a 100 degree angle sprayer and goes on so smooth and easy. I put it on when I'm still slightly damp from the shower as I think it soaks in more evenly. I always wake up with amazing color that is not one bit orange (pale girls, you feel my pain with this one). A must for anyone.

Close up of all of my MB products. I'm slightly obsessed...this isn't even everything I have from his line. But that's for another post.

I hope you enjoyed this long and slightly ramble-y look inside my daily products! Seeing it all laid out here, I can fully admit that I am a product whore. I have no shame. I just love trying new things!

What do you use daily!?

Bows Over Bros

A few days ago one of my friends texted me with an Instagram picture of these tights, begging me to find them for her. So I did! 

One thing that my readers may not know about me is that I love to shop online! Friends and family often come to me if they need to track down a specific present or item. I love doing this, finding the exact piece someone was looking for. (Email me at cassiedulworth (dot) hotmail (dot) com if you want me to help you out!)

Anyways, I thought that these were too good to not share with you all. Worn under a skirt the bow detail will be a cute touch popping out! I think these would make me happy even if nobody else could see it!

{Tights from ASOS}

Madewell has some really cute tights as well if you are looking!

Art of Contrast

Hi babes. So. The weekend before Thanksgiving I had a fun event to go to here at school (and those do not come often). If you follow me on Instagram (@CassieDulworth) then you saw the picture I snapped when I was playing dress up in Kate's closet, trying to find something to wear. 

We had the Art of Contrast Fashion Show, the biggest show our Fashion Student Organization puts on every year. The theme was "around the world" and everyone picked different countries to be inspired by!

Kate designed a dress, Taylor modeled it and I was a judge! It was so entertaining to see how we all got involved in different ways. 

I love love loved the show! Some of the designers at my school are so incredibly talented, it blows my mind. These are so people to be looking for in the next few years!
Thanks to Kendall, the FSO president, for asking me to judge and everyone else who made the show a smash!

The winning collection was inspired by Greek Goddesses. The photos don't even come close to capturing the amazing detail and beauty of these three dresses. 

This dress was handmade in Paris, by Kendall, the FSO president. It's incredibly detailed when you see it closely. 

A british collection! Love.

Some fabulously dressed show-goers!

This is Kate's dress. It was inspired by Brazil and the big bunch on the front is a "turban." Gorg right?!

All in all the show was a blast! I love any excuse to dress up and wear heels, plus it's always so rewarding to support my school and the fabulous fashion program we have. 

What do you think of the pieces? And what did YOU do last weekend?

Insta Life: @CassieDulworth

I don't even know how to start this post. I feel like my life is going at 200mph right now.

I have no time to sleep.

I have no time to eat.

I have no time to think more than 2 hours ahead.

And I love it. I am so thankful for everything I get to do already, from being a student, working for an amazing company (Tommy Hilfiger), TWO fashion internships and more. I'm one lucky gal.

Aaannyyyways. I guess that is my really long intro leading into me saying I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much recently! But. I Instagram. A lot. And because I can't blog as often as I would like, follow me here for more outfit posts/daily tid-bits!
