Welcome to ASB Favorite Finds! This is where I look back on the past month and share all the standout stuff I’ve been into—from great reads to beauty must-haves and everything in between. Let’s get into my favorites!

Ribbed Knit Midi Skirt (Open Edit, Nordstrom)

For cozy comfort, this fine-gauge sweater knit style ribbed skirt is a blog favorite and a great alternative when you want a break from pants or jeans. Pair it with a matching knit top, or layer with a long cardigan and boots for a cozy, monochromatic look. I also love it with a tee topped by a wool blazer or your favorite jacket and loafers—the options are endless! For more jeans alternatives, check out last week’s roundup of 8 chic, warm, and comfy bottoms for fall and winter!

Lip Gloss and Plumper

I’ve been searching for an alternative to my favorite Dior plumping gloss (now $40!) for a while, so I was thrilled when a friend suggested I try Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer + Plumper. I love the product—and the $26 price tag! Some reviews mention a “heating” or “cinnamon” sensation on the lips, but neither my daughter nor I noticed this.

Dior Forever Couture Luminizer

My favorite highlighter is now available in this beautiful limited-edition compact for the holidays. Browse all highlighter colors (here).

CLINIQUE High Impact Mascara

I have to give another shout-out to this amazing mascara! It’s perfect for a barely-there feel, no clumping, and all-day wear.

P.F. Candle Reed Diffuser in Pinon

To be honest, I’ve never actually spent a winter in the Southwest, but if I had, I bet it would smell like piñon wood—warm, earthy, and cozy. Since a trip to New Mexico, Colorado, or Arizona isn’t on the agenda right now, I found this affordable reed diffuser brings all those Southwestern vibes to me instead. It fills my family room with that same inviting scent, making it feel like I’m there, even from afar.

Iris Snaffle – Trim Leather Belt

I’m obsessed with everything “Snaffle” over at Boden! From loafers and flats to my favorite fall belt, this buckle detail adds elegance and interest to any outfit. Available in seven colors, you can explore belt options [here] or check out all the Snaffle styles at Boden [here].
