honeys it girl magazine october edition!!⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🎀

welcome back to honeys it girl magazine, this is the october catalog. get ready for the inside scoop on data that i've collected, things i've learned/started doing, and just general info like that organized in kind of a teen-magazine inspired fashion. a magazine for it girls ✨ and now please enjoy, the it girl magazine.

HOW TO HAVE THE MOST DOLLY SLUMBER PARTY EVER ;

when i think of the month of october i think of GLAMOROUS parties. and that incorporates girly slumber parties, halloween parties, a LOT of parties. SOO the kind of party that i wanted to focus on in this month's catalogue is slumber parties.

to throw a successful slumber party we first need a plan. make sure that u have refreshments, entertainment, invitations and all of that planned. if u wanna have a SUPER cute slumber party have a theme. some theme ideas can be

♡ victoria's secret (V.S. pj's, lingerie, everyone wears a V.S. robe etc)♡ 2000's ♡ movie based pajamas♡ a color scheme (black and pink is my fave)

and we can't have our girls being bored at our slumber party can we? make sure that u plan fun activities like having a fashion show (playing dress up) playing dress to impress or video games like that, baking sweet treats, karaoke, dolling each other up ETC. for refreshments you could do a snack bar or make mocktails, you could even do a milkshake station!

THE VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW 2024 ANALYSIS ;

🧁 anok yai’s floral number (she’s literally blooming, she looks like a FLOWER. her hair is giving barbie dolll and ultimately she had my favorite look of the whole entire night. the WINGSSS, the shoes everything just goes together beautifully.)

🧁 gigi hadid (she looks like a lavender princess fairy and it looks amazing on her. but PLEASEE why the slick hair?? when i think victorias secret im thinking of bouncy voluminous hair. i LOVE her wings though. they're so big and over the top and i love it)

🧁 imaan hamman (also goes with lisa and anok yai in my top three favorite looks of the night. its so simple but in my opinion her look gives the victorias secret that we all know and love the most.)

🧁 alex consani (i rly rly love baby blue on her, again, please bring back bouncy voluminous hair. and i kinda wish they gave her fluffier wings.)

🧁 lisa’s black lacy number (def one of my favorites on the whole runway. i wish she had black lacy wings instead of the structured ones but easily one of my favorites)

🧁 maty fall (the silk, the feathers, chefs KISS. in his case i think the minimal wings look the prettiest because her outfit is fuller, the delicate wings complement it beautifully.)

OCTOBER BODYCARE, MAKEUP AND FRAGRANCE FAVORITES ;

body care : hello kitty strawberry oat milk body balm from creme, vanilla creme brûlée body lotion from hempz (this one smells like HEAVEN), and fresh cream by philosophy. i rly loved the nyx marshmallow primer and for fragrance the soft and dreamy scent from victorias secret PINK (it just gives me so much nostalgia around this season 💗🍬)

DRESS TO IMPRESS NEW UPDATE ;

dress to impress is every hottie's favorite game, and when DTI dropped its halloween update, everyone including myself was so super STOKED about it. there are new codes and SO many new possibilities unlocked. speaking of codes…💬🎀

❤︎ CH00P1E_1S_B4CK (boots, jacket and skirt)

❤︎ UMOYAE (skater dress)

❤︎ D1ORST4R (star purse and hair bow)

❤︎ S3M_0W3N_Y4Y (axe weapon)

OCTOBER IT GIRL ACTIVITIES ;

like i said in the first section of this month's magazine, i associate october with PARTIES and ik a lot of us are going to halloween parties so i just wanted to share some rules of thumb especially if its ur first party, on how to have fun while also being safe.

make sure that u have a designated driver at all times

don't overdo it with the drinks, thats never hot

make sure u have ice cold water to sip on, on the car ride home

be careful, make sure that drinks are poured in front of u or you get them yourself

dont party by yourself GO WITH A FRIEND U TRUST AND STICK TOGETHER

and of course have fun 🍭 this year im dressing up as the white rabbit from alice in wonderland so im super excited to look cute and have fun with my friends

if partying is not ur thing there are SO many fun things that you can do this october. for example binge watching october movies, or doing fall related activities like we talked about in last month's section. some movies that i love to watch in october are

♡ jennifer's body

♡ ginger snaps

♡ scream

♡ the love witch

i dont usually watch things that are too scary which is why my list is so short 😭 i get scared rly easily so i try and watch movies that aren't SO scary but if you like that there are some rly good ones out there.

Afternoon Tea with Victoria Magazine

For as long as I can remember, I have loved Victoria Magazine! When I was much younger, I can remember pouring over the whole issue and longing to live a life like the ones I saw in the pages of Victoria! I read every page and tried many recipes and, of course, I saved every single issue!

As that young girl, I never would have believed in a million years that I would be featured in the pages of Victoria Magazine, but last year in September…I boarded a plane with my friend Lisa Richey to be photographed for Victoria’s Entrepreneurial Women’s issue that was to come out in December!

Here’s a little backstory…

Lisa and I met through an email introduction! She had just moved to North Carolina and was looking for friends that were entrepreneurs. After some back and forth through email, we decided to meet for lunch. We immediately hit it off and have since become good friends! We have so much in common and she has introduced me to the ritual of afternoon tea. Lisa is an etiquette expert…you can read more about her here!

Since I am a lifestyle blogger and Lisa teaches etiquette, we decided we would be a good fit for an article in Victoria Magazine. I crafted an email in April of 2021 and we waited. We received an email back somewhat quickly saying that they loved our idea. We were very excited and then we waited…for about a year! One day, we got an email saying that they would love to feature us and the rest is history! Don’t ever give up because you never know!

Lisa and I were beyond excited to be going to Birmingham and knew it would be an amazing trip! While on the plane, we read the current issue of Victoria and anticipated what the photo shoot would be like! We had stressed a little over what we should wear because it was September and the issue would be out in December. We wanted to look appropriate for the season, but everything we found was too summery! Finally, I decided on a dress by Self Portrait, styled with white booties and my vintage fur shrug! Lisa looked very elegant in a beautiful sweater and skirt! I think we nailed it!

Shoot day started early with hair and makeup and much nervousness! We were picked up at the hotel and driven to a beautiful home in an historic part of Birmingham! I had so many pinch me moments on this trip and the biggest one was when we walked into the house and the photoshoot really started to happen! I was nervous but had a little talk with myself because I didn’t want my nerves to get in the way of having fun. I was able to relaxed and everything went well, mostly because we were working with such nice (and very professional) people!

The detail that goes into a photoshoot for a magazine is unbelievable! Every single thing was perfect from the flowers to the food to the beautiful table setting! Many pictures were taken to make sure they had just the right ones for the issue! After the photoshoot was over, we had lunch with everyone from the magazine and they interviewed Lisa and me about our businesses! It was a lovely day that I’ll never forget!

Everything was so beautifully arranged for the photo shoot right down to the pimento cheese sandwiches which were made by a local gourmet shop! When I say every detail was covered, it’s really true!

The flower arrangement in this stunning epergne was breathtaking as you can see! This beautiful setting has me thinking of hosting a Valentine’s Day Tea Party!

I really loved my outfit styled with this fabulous vintage fur!

Behind the scenes….

Be sure to pick up a copy of Victoria Magazine and you can subscribe here! The issue is filled with gorgeous pictures and as I said above, focuses on women entrepreneurs! I was particularly interested in Elisa Marshall who is featured in the issue. Elisa owns a bakery in New York called Maman that I cannot wait to visit on my next trip! She has written a gorgeous cookbook that I purchased and will be sharing recipes from soon! There is so much to love about this issue!

I want to thank Victoria Magazine from the bottom of my heart for making my dream a reality! It was a day I’ll never forget!
