How excited are you for fall? I simply cannot wait for this time of year! Not only are the holidays some of my favorites, but the clothes are just splendid as well! I am currently trying to find the perfect pair of light brown knee-high boots that will polish off a few outfits in the making!
Of course, there are also those super trendy fall colors, stylish looks for fall, and a few great make-up tips that will get us all seasonally ready... Even if the season may not feel like it has quite arrived.
How are you feeling about the cowboy and 60's inspired looks this fall?
Burgundy Lips
This look is so classic for fall and so beautiful all at once! I am also loving how it looks on those with copper hair, but especially love the look on all those gorgeous brunettes out there! Not sure how to pull off such a daring lip? Here is a great tutorial about applying a burgundy lipstick. This article is also great for picking that perfect burgundy color!
Slouchy Sweaters
Slouchy sweaters may have been seen here and there last fall, but this year they are coming in a big way! It seems like every fall runway had at least one tiny girl wearing a giant sweater. I loved it! Slouchy sweaters are the best way to get that "I woke up like this" look whether you did or did not. They also go with everything and can be dressed up or down. Thankfully, slouchy sweaters can be comfortably worn in cooler weather or the warm Florida falls.
They are also just so cozy looking. If we had a fireplace, I would roll up in front of it with a coffee, book, and slouchy sweater every day of the year!
Knee [or Higher] Boots
Don't you just love this look? I am obsessed with the slouchy sweater/knee-high boot combo this season! Now, if I could only find those perfect (and budget conscious) medium brown boots! Yes, ankle boots are still in style, but knee highs will always be my jam! If I were looking for a black pair, it would be these in a heartbeat.
Pastels!
Pantone's Fall 2014 colors include many that are simply fun and quite a few that are also pastel! Although my skin tone does not look super great in pastels, I am still happy to see them worn into fall. My favorite just might be the radiant orchid, although the aluminum and sangria take a close second!
This tutorial on introducing fall colors into your make-up regimen is simply fantastic and uses my favorite of them all!
Crop Tops
A good cropped top with a high wasted skirt is perfect for any dress this fall! I am also loving the way it makes all of us look a bit more toned and cinched than we naturally are. Afraid of looking un-lady-like in a crop top? Just know that Audrey Hepburn did it and so did Grace Kelly! The secret between trashy and chic is all in the waistline. Forgo low rise or natural fitting bottoms when you are pairing with a crop top- they will show too much skin and can easily go wrong, no matter how svelte your stomach.
The crop should end and waistline begin at the smallest part of your torso. This will help create those exaggerated feminine lines.
