September Favorites!

September Favorites

September Favorites by aymxamorefashiondore featuring asics shoes


It's time for September Favorites!! Check out below what I've been coveting this past month!
Asics shoes

This past summer since July I was training for a 10K for Women's Health Run 10 Feed 10 run! It was great and I had an awesome time with one of my best friends. Over the course of my 7-8 weeks of training, I began to love running. The rush that you get at races is amazing! I couldn't believe how much I began to love it going from a real beginner to actual runner of races is crazy. I obviously needed better sneakers than the ones I had. I contacted some trackie friends and fellow runners and they recommended Asics. They're so much cheaper on Amazon, and I at first went to DSW to look for them. They were listed at DSW for $85, but on Amazon they were $58! I really love these! They were great for my 10K and for my other shorter runs I do.




Nathan purple belt

Going on my love of running, I couldn't find my exact belt on Polyvore, but this is pretty close to it! The brand is called Nathan and it's a one water bottle belt. I'm pretty sure since I'm a newbie I placed it wrong and it was bouncing up and down the whole time during my 10K, but hey, I'm learning! :) My belt also has pockets where I can put running gummies to give me energy on long runs.




Revlon colorful makeup

I struggle with foundations. I've tried everything from Chanel to Cover Girl. Revlon covers up all of my blemishes and makes my skin look even! I love this stuff, this is the second bottle that I've gotten of it already. One bottle typically lasts at least 3-4 months depending upon how much product you use. I use a facial brush to apply it. 




Beauty product
$14 - liberty.co.uk


I ADORE this Rose Salve from C.O. Bigelow. I first spotted it at Bath & Body Works. I searched this on YouTube among other beauty bloggers and I found that they've used some kind of slave. I love the smell of rose water and I spritz it or dab it on my face. However, this salve I find myself putting on all the time! I even brought it in my work bag to use it during the day! It has a faint rose smell and I'm literally obsessed with it. I highly recommend it! :)




Moleskine Evernote Ruled Smart Notebook L

Moleskines come in handy! I've heard people ranting and raving about Moleskine's for years now. I didn't see the appeal of an overpriced notebook--what gives? BUT after going into Target and getting this notebook on sale, I had to see what the fuss was about. Oh. My. This notebook is everything that I wanted it to be and more. For people who have random thoughts/ideas daily, this is perfect for you. My Type-A personality unfortunately has my mind running all day long. When I have an idea, I write it down in this. I make daily lists of what I have to do and write it down in here. The best part is is that the notebook is made of a leather-like material on the outside and the pages are lined on the inside like a typical notebook. It also has an elastic band that goes around the notebook to have it sealed shut. Love it! Did you know that Hemingway and Picasso used Moleskine products in the 19th Century? Just a little fun fact for ya. 



Bitten--Available on Netflix and Syfy Channel

Prodigal

My last favorite this month is a new show that I found on Netflix called, Bitten. It's about a girl who's a werewolf and struggles to find the balance between her human life and her life as a werewolf with her pack. There are plenty of twists and turns within the first season. It's amazing! I won't tell you all about it, but if you like Teen Wolf, you'll love this! It's also on Syfy!

New Tunes Tuesday

So these past couple of months I would find myself listening to Ed Sheeran for hours and hours during my commute to work. I just think his voice is so raw and amazing complete with the acoustic guitar in most of his songs, it sounds different than the songs heard on the radio today. His new album, X or Multiply came out early this summer and his singles "Don't" and "Sing" have been his biggest hits so far off his latest album. Today, Sheeran's released a new music video from his newest single from his album called, "Thinking Out Loud." Um, one word: AH-MAZING.

Sheeran has seriously transformed himself from his traditional hoodie to a vest and slacks. He's barely recognizable in his newest video. The video has Sheeran and a dancer ballroom dancing to his hit and it's utterly romantic and surely to be a new favorite. Not only does Sheeran dress different, he looks different. Apparently according to E! Online in an interview with Sheeran, he said he lost a whopping 35 LBS while preparing for his role in his music video! Learning the choreography he spent 5 hours a day and 8 days with professional dancers just for this video. Check out the video below to see what I'm talking about:



If they're looking for a new contestant on Dancing With The Stars, Ed could totally make it, right?

What do you think of this English cutie and his smooth moves? 


The New Amore Fashiondore

Hey all, long time no see! It's been a while since I've blogged last. It was a crazy past two years, I've graduated college and I've immersed myself into the post-grad life real world. I decided that I wanted to come back to the blogsphere and create more posts and take the opportunity to write on things that I enjoy. The new-and-improved Amore Fashiondore will have tons of articles regarding fashion, fitness (I've found a new-found love of running on my journey--who knew?!), beauty products and many more awesome things.

I seriously enjoy finding new products regarding running/fitness, beauty, or the latest fashion trends-- so expect all of that soon! I just wanted to welcome you all back to the glammed-up Amore Fashiondore. 

Be prepared, it's going to be great! I'm so excited! If you want to send me some suggestions on what you think I should add, email me at amorefashiondore@gmail.com.
