Fall is such a fun time of year for fashion and beauty. Deeper and richer colors are every where. When I think of fall colors and fall fashion, I think rich, expensive-looking trends. Fall means colder weather, which I think makes a lot of people sad, but I always look at it as an opportunity to buy and wear more clothes!! Here are some of my favorite things for the fall!
Ombre hair techniques and color melts are everywhere! I am particularly in love with rich and warm caramel tones. So beautiful, what's not to love? Want to really rock the caramel ombre hair color? I wrote a post about how to talk to your hairdresser for beautiful ombre hair color HERE.
2. Leopard Print
I can't get enough leopard print these days. If I see anything leopard print, I 'gotta' have it! I just got my daughter two pairs of leopard print shoes. She is so freaking adorable in them! I especially love leopard print accessories; shoes, scarves, handbags! This handbag is Betsey Johnson. She has a ton of leopard print bags right now. Click HERE to shop Betsey Johnson's handbags.
3. Dark Boyfriend Jeans
I love boyfriend jeans, for all the wrong reasons probably, but I love them and I am glad they are in. I am a mom of two and while I am satisfied with my body, it's not what it used to be. That being said, the loose style of boyfriend jeans hides a little more of my baby mama pooch. The loose fit also gives me a little wiggle room to get down and play with my kiddos. I love mixing the masculine trouser pant with feminine details, too; like heels, florals, and blouses. I prefer dark denim over light because it is more slimming. My favorite place to buy denim is, hands down, LEVIS.COM. Every once in a while, I get lucky and find a pair for cheap at an outlet store or a TJ Maxx or Ross.
4. Red Lipstick (Lancome)
For a long time, I had been loving the dark/bright lip trend but I was scared to try it because I totally saw myself with lipstick on my teeth or lipstick smeared all over my face and I didn't want to spend money on that. Well, my wonderful mother-in-law gave me some red Lancome lipstick (she claimed it was great) so I tried it and Va Va Voom! Oh man, I felt so hot and trendy and powerful, and all those other great adjectives. I put the lipstick on at about 10 AM, ate lunch, shopped all day without reapplying it and that lipstick stayed on til 8 PM! It didn't smudge and it didn't get on my teeth. Lancome lipstick is amazing! Never underestimate the power of a good lipstick. As much as I love this stuff, though, I don't wear it much because I can't give my hubby and sweet babies kisses without getting it all over them! Click HERE to purchase Lancome Rouge in Love 181.
5. Ankle Boots
I don't have much to say about ankle boots except they look great with boyfriend jeans, right? I found a pair at Ross similar to the ones above and I am excited for the cooler weather just so I can wear them. For me, I need ankle boots with a heel even if its just a little one to lengthen me. Ankle boots cut you off at the skinniest part of your leg so you have to make sure you pair them with the right clothing and/or a good heel so they flatter you. If not, they can make you look short and heavyset.
6. Jamberry Nail Wraps (Floral Prints)
I am pretty sure everyone knows about these and they are so cool! Seriously, if you have not tried them, you need to try them. These things could give nail techs a run for their money. They last for 2-3 weeks and they have the cutest prints to choose from (over 300 to be exact). This floral print is my favorite pattern of theirs. I love vintage-y floral prints right now. You need to buy yourself some of these; They are awesome! Click HERE to buy yo'self some Jamberry Nail Wraps!
