I'M BACKKKKK! FALL TRENDS ARE HERE AND SO AM I! We have those autumn leaves rolling in soon and this is hands down my favorite time of the year! Warm rich earth tones, cozy blankets, and a great hot chocolate. It's not too hot or too cold outside. I personally think there is a fine line between strolling down the street in your 6" boots like Giselle B. and sliding on a glacier of ice onto your face. We have all been there, so don't act like you haven't! My focus is on products I am loving right now! All i can say is: oxblood is the new red! I know it sounds a little bone chilling, but I am Rachel Zoe dying for this gorgeous hue. Oxblood if not called by another name is close to burgundy, wine, Chianti, or (if you are absolutely color challenged) very, very, very deep red. Here are a few pieces I've been drooling over:
McQueen Tote
Another big trend that I don't think I can let go of so quickly is the famed Isabel Marant wedge gym shoe (sigh). My two favorite things rolled into one, but in a totally non-tacky way! I know everyone remembers those stiletto converse people were rocking about a decade ago. I must admit, this was def a fashion faux pas pour moi! To make it even worse, I had them in L.A. Lakers colors (shivers). I have seen these sneakers worn so many different ways. The way I love to see them is with a long maxi + denim jacket, or with cutoff shorts and a leather jacket.
Isabel Marant
And it it just happens you can't spring the $300 for these bad boys, there are plenty knock offs that get the job done just fine! I have seen some pairs starting at $25!! FASHION FOR EVERYONE!
ON TO BEAUTY!!! I have been majorly obsessed with retinol and anything that stalls aging. My new fav product just might be L'Oreal Revitalift Complete. It has pro-retinol A + elastin complex that boasts firming and anti-wrinkling of the skin. I started using it today and will update you each week on how it is working. I don't have a lot of wrinkling since I have actually taken my mothers wise advice about not pulling on my delicate skin. I even quit putting eyeliner on the bottom lid so I won't have to scrub my eye to death just to remove it. The concoction cost me a grand total of about $20. I was going to try ROC instead, but it was just too expensive for such a small amount. I'm sure its good, if its in such small packaging. Butttt....in the true words of a "save-anista," I'm cheap at times!
Lipstick is calling my name. I have always been a MAC Lipglass gal with the occasional lipstick, but I'm getting my adult on and have dipped back into the world of lipstick. Last year I was rocking a bold red Sephora lip stain a lot. I loved the red and got a ton of compliments, so I guess onto new hues. I bought 3 new color lipsticks to fit my different moods. All of them had great moisture and applied smoothly. I will say the Maybelline wore off all day which meant constant re-apps. : ( I wish the red was more coral, and the vamp purple is outside the box for me. It was in the name of experimenting anyway. I am intrigued by all the burgundy swirling around, but I think the Va Va violet needed to have a more red tone to it. Let me know which ones you like and don't!
Maybelline: Fuchsia Fever
Revlon: Fire and Ice
Revlon: Va Va Violet
These are my new fav loves and there are so many more to share with you. I want to see all of you slap on some oxblood and make it your new go-to color this season. Let me know what products you are dying to try and I'll see what I can work in. Until next time! ;)

Here are a few affordable fashions that aren't runway rich, but still give that great color:
ASOS faux leather a-line dress (Eco friendly too!)
ALDO calf hair pump (love the color blocking)
