Great Bag for Fall
6 OctThis colorful Navy, brown and yellow leather bag is perfect for Fall. The chain detail on the shoulder strap is stylish and the price is pretty amazing too, it retails for $59.95 and is available at H&M stores.
Happy October!
1 OctIt’s October 1st and (in my closet) the official launch of Fall. I live in sunny California so full Fall clothes in September are a no- go, But now that it’s October, the weather is slightly cooling allowing for a few more layers. It’s time for scarves, boots, sweaters, oversized handbags and statement jewelry!!!!! Here are some amazing Fall looks for inspiration!!!!
Like what you see? Stay tuned for upcoming posts on boots and scarves!!!!!
Baroque Trend! Do You Dare?
11 SepOk ok I’m breaking from my Spring/Summer 2013 NYFW coverage to talk about this trend that is HOT right now for Fall! The question is…..will you wear it? I may try it but I’m a bit scared. The baroque style brings so many things to mind……17th century, opulence, luxury, royalty, gold, DRAMA! With plenty of elaborate details and wild ornamentation this trend can seem difficult to pull off, I think the right person CAN though. Like any fashion lover I would DIE for a Balmain jacket, but that may be the only baroque piece I would wear or is it????? Hmmmmmm, While I’m not completely closed off to the notion, I’d just have to find the right piece, something that speaks to my heart. A jacket or a clutch???? Maybe a T? or Jeans?
Some inspiration……
All baroque doesn’t have to be gold, these jeans are very wearable.
Cap Toe Shoes Are Here To Stay
9 SepCap toe heels were spotted everywhere this Summer, and the trend is moving along right into Fall. This style is called “cap toe” for the piece of material that covers just the toe of the shoe. Not only have they been spotted on major runways- Chanel, Salvatore Ferragamo and Yves Saint Laurent but celebrities have gone cap toe crazy as well. Cap toe styles are sleek and chic and can be worn with most anything from dresses to pants. Not a heel girl?????? No problem! This trend works no matter what shoe style you prefer. The cap toe translates well from heels to flats.

Fashion’s Fat Fall Issues
29 AugIn the world of fashion magazines, the September issue is the most anticipated copy of the year. Crammed with glossy editorials, beautiful images and Fall ad campaigns, these issues are the ‘bible’ of fashion for months to come and are often the biggest issues of the year. U.S. Vogue produced it’s biggest issue ever this year with 916 pages, weighing in at nearly five pounds!!!!! Here is a roundup of this years major covers from around the globe.
On a budget? Your local library carries many fashion magazines that are free to read.
Starting with my favorite triple cover….
Vogue Paris Cover(s) which feature Kate Moss, Lara stone and Daria Werbowy in the same black Dolce & Gabbana dress.
The New ‘It’ Bag?
28 AugEvery once in a handbag comes around that represents timeless luxury, a bag that women drool over. This time it’s the Heroine bag by Alexander McQueen. The feminine, yet sculptured top handled design comes in various leathers and sizes. Think of it as a stylish satchel meets Doctors bag, perfect for many years of wear. If you’d like a Heroine bag of your own, buckle up they do come with a hefty four figure price tag, but what ‘it’ bag doesn’t?
Shop the Heroine bag HERE.
Additional thoughts…….. Does this bag have the ‘it’ factor? Absolutely! My favorite part of this bag is the beautiful shape and the flap in front. My least favorite part of this bag….the flap in front…which makes the contents of the bag impossible to access when it’s on your arm. A bit impractical a la Hermès Birkin, beautiful nonetheless.
NARS to Launch Andy Warhol Collection (sneak peek)
25 AugThis Holiday season Nars will launch a highly anticipated Andy Warhol collection. The makeup is not only inspired by Warhol but will include his prints and photographs on the packaging as well. The collection will consist of two different stories so to speak, the first named “pop art ” will pay homage to the funky bright pop art that the eccentric artist is known for and the second collection named “the factory” will aim for the more glamorous, sophisticated feel of Warhol’s New York City workspace that was a hot spot for the artsy crowd and famed for its star studded parties. The collection has no shortage of palettes and will include blush, lip gloss, nail color and more. The Sephora exclusive pop art line is set to launch October 1st at U.S. Sephora stores while the factory is set to launch at department and specialty stores worldwide November 1st.

Pretty Teal Eyeliner
20 AugEyeliner is a definite must have product, waking your face up and instantly making your eyes POP! One swoop of colored liner brings a WOW factor to your eyes! If you don’t really wear colored shadows, eyeliner is your “gateway” product. I love all colors but am partial to teal, the beautiful hue goes with many skin tones and eye colors as well. A teal lined eye is bright and fun while remaining very wearable. Simply put, it is pretty on everyone.
Teal eyeliner comes in a variety of forms… good old-fashioned pencil, liquid, gel and cream. Whatever formula you prefer is just fine to achieve this look. You’re not out of luck if you don’t own any of these because as long as you have a flat eyeshadow brush and teal shadow, you can substitute it instead of liner for a similar look.
Some of the many ways to wear teal eyeliner:
Upper lash line
Lower lash line/water line
Rim the entire eye
Pair with neutral eyeshadow (looks great with bronzes,beiges & taupes)
From low-key to dramatic, below are some examples of the many ways to wear this mermaid-chic look. Take note on how great this looks on all skin tones, eye shapes and colors.
Shop these eyeliners.
Urban decay 24/7 waterproof liquid liner in teal($19) Lancome Gel eyeliner in teal/turquoise($24.50) MakeUpForEver Aqua eyes pencil in turquoise($18) Sephora wateroof cream liner in electric teal($12) all available at Sephora.
