Fall essentials!

Hey guys!


So as we transition into the fall months, I wanted to do a post on what products I'm going to be loving during this season! I love fall because the weather is perfect (in my opinion) and you get to wear really cute, cozy clothes... and a little bit more makeup! (:


For clothing, I've been loving and looking out for: 


Chunky knit sweaters: 
This sweater is so cute and versatile... and such a deal!





Forever21, $19.80 (this sweater is so cute and versatile... and such a deal!)

Red jeans: 
They are a huge trend this fall and a great pop of color with any outfit! And, this pair comes in tons of different colors.. the cut and style is also very cute for fall!





Forever21, $24.80.

A Great leather jacket: 


This one is kind of pricey but totally worth it! A great leather jacket is something that goes with everything and will never go out of style! 





Urban outfitters, $129

For fall, I'm also really excited about wearing boots and cool heels! Here are a few of my favorites: 




Cozy Boots: 


Perfect for everyday wear, and for a chilly football game! My favorite are Ugg boots! A little pricey, but an investment that you will not regret.. they keep your feet so cozy, warm... and super cute! Plus, these boots last forever!


CHESTNUT


Ugg "bailey" button boot in chestnut. $160

Combat boots:


Cute, but adds an edgy vibe to any outfit! Keep them loosely laced at the top for that  effortless but cool look. Plus, at $29.99, its such a steal!


Women's Xhilaration® Kashana Lace-Up Boots - Cognac


Target, $29.99

Leopard Wedge Booties: 


These are SO CUTE! They would add an fashion-forward vibe to any outfit! Pair with a little black dress for a nice dinner out, some skinny jeans and a black blouse for a day out with the girls, or your favorite dress for a party! And, since they're wedges, they are more comfortable than normal heels... so you can be more comfortable and wear them for longer! Plus.. they are only $29.99! 


Women's Mossimo® Peg Peep-Toe Wedge - Leopard




Target, $29.99

And last, but not least... Makeup essentials! 


Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer:


Transitioning into the cooler fall months can really take a toll on your skin, since it is being exposed to crisper,colder climates! Be sure to keep it hydrated with a good moisturizer.. this one is one of my favorites!  


Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 - 4 oz.


Target, $14.99

Deep Cranberry Lipstick: 


A cranberry lipstick is a huge beauty essential for fall! 


Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick - Raspberry


Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick- rasberry: $6.49

Metalic Nail Polish: 


This nail polish is so neat.. it has silver and gold in it! And, at $2.80, who could say no? 



Forever21, $2.80

And last, but not least... some accessories and other essentials for fall!


Bold Statement Necklaces: 


Add this to any plain T-shirt for an instant glam look, or to any dress! Plus, I love how edgy and layer-ey this necklace is!









Forever21, $10.80

Candles. 


Sorry I can't insert a picture, but this one from yankee candle smells so good!

Scarves: 


This scarf adds a pop of color to any plain outfit! It even looks a little like missoni, doesn't it? The best part is.. its only $8.80! 








Forever21, $8.80

Style: exciting trends for fall 2011

Above is a picture of the color palette most companies base on their new clothing lines. Im loving the colors emberglow, honeysuckle, and nougat! Im definitely going to incorporate these colors into my makeup and outfits.
While doing some research on fashion sites the last week I think I found what really is going to be coming up in trend:

checker pattern - different mixes and variations of checkered prints in different colors
color blocking - we have definitely seen this trend before and it's coming back
antique lady like lace fabrics - very formfitting chanel like looks that are based on golden chains and lace with a modern twist

Makeup trends:
red lips/wine colored lips - an original fall look
dark blue eyeshadow - darker smokey shadow on the lid and one shade lighter on the lower lash line
lavender purple paired with orange (try icy purple on lower lash line) - orange on upper lid, and purple on lower and easier take would be colored eyeliner
orange golds - bronzey eyeshadows skin and lips, (like the mix of the colors emberglow and bamboo above)

Fashion: Forever 21 Hit or Miss

***Not my image

Forever 21, a trendy store that is reasonably priced for the quality of its clothes. Personally I find Forever21 a hit or miss store, 5 out of 10 times you find a treasure and the other 5 out of 10 you don't. They do a great job with keeping up with the top trends of runway designers such as the nautical trend. But sometimes I find things that are absolutely horrible or is too childish or slutty like. I think this is because Forever 21 is not known for its famous brand but for the assortment of the different types of clothes they have and that the store is constantly updating there huge selection of clothes. I typically get overwhelmed when I walk into this store and don't know where to start because there is so much to look at.  Anyway I still love to occasionally check in with this store especially for the quality of the jewelry for the price ($1.50 for cute earrings is a steal!).

Fashion Now: Black Tip-ed french tip

I thought of this new way to get the edgy boho look without making it feel like it took all my girl-iness. Although I think many people can pull off the full on black nails, I personally cant, so I decided last night to paint my nails a black french tip! I hope you all try it out too. Its a fun way to put a little edge into your look without making it look too dramatic!
