Trends to Try this Fall-Fashion, Make-Up and More!

As reluctant as I was to embrace autumn, it is now in full swing and it is time we narrow down our top "wearable" trends for the season.  And, truth be told, I am quite excited about it.  The choice spectrum is HUGE with everyting from ladylike lace to sex-siren patent leather!  Now let's be realistic here, I am a mother of two, and straight-from-the-catwalk looks just ain't gonna fly.  Yes, I do like to be on trend, but I need comfort and wearability JUST as much.  Can I get an Amen?  As awesome it would be to wear a full length golden shimmer gown to drop the kids off at school, it just ain't gonna fly.

 

Fall Trend- Magnificent Maroon (aka Oxsblood)

Nothing says fall quite like deep, rich colour like bergundy, black cherry and brick tones.  This Fall's "new black" can be worn all over or just in statement pieces like a patent leather purse or an oxsblood vest. 

 

I really love OPI's new Germany collection which features a GORGEOUS colour called GERMAN-icure (pictured below).  This collection is full of this season's hottest shades that I can't wait to try out!

 

 

 

You can never go wrong with a good pair of skinny jeans or leggings.  I plan to pick up these Bergundy Slim Pants from Ricki's (www.rickis.com) for $49.50

 

 

 

Nothing is sexier than a deeply coloured pout.  I can't wait to pair my MAC lipstick in Diva (a matte black-cherry colour) with minimal make-up and lashes.

 

 

 

Fall Trend- Sexy Animal Print

I think it is absolutely fantastic that I can finally embrace my inner cougar and rock out any animal print I choose without getting the evil eye at the grocery store!  This seasons hot animal prints are showing up everywhere from flats to fingernails!  Here's how I plan to integrate it into my wardrobe:

 

You can't go wrong with a pair of flats.  I love these ones pictured above from www.piperline.com.  The gold detail on the toe adds a bit of flare, while the print neutral enough to be worn with a variety of fall pieces.

 

 

I love this Safari print blouse from Forever 21.  Super feminie and flirty and looks awesome with red or burgendy tones.  I think it's important to look for softer fabrics when going with a busy design. It helps keep the look feminine, not scary ;-)

 

 

For the more adventerous fashionista's, I found this smoking hot assymetrical dress on one of my new favourite sites www.boohoo.com .  Although I haven't purchased it yet, I love the shape of this dress and think it would look fantastic with some red lips and black pumps for a night out with the girls!

 

Fall Trend- Flawless, Glowing Skin

I know what you're thinking....since when did nice skin become a trend?!  Well in the world of skin care and make-up, your skin is your best accessory this Fall. 

 

Altough I haven't jumped onto the BB Cream train just yet, I plan to do so this Fall with Smashbox's Camera Ready.  This top-rated BB cream has an SPF 35, primes, perfects, hydrates and controls oil.  Sounds too good to be true....I will update with a review in the near future.

 

Just because summer is coming to an end, doesn't mean you should pack away your bronzer!  The Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer is available at Sephora or online at www.toofaced.com  and is a huge hit amounst the You Tube community.  Made with real cocoa, this bronzer feels as good as it looks.  For a full description of this product click here.  I think I will order the lighter colour, Milk Chocolate, for fall to give me a subtle, fresh glow.

 

I have heard AMAZING things about this product from Josie Maran.  To keep skin looking revitalized and vibrant, rub this into your face, neck and decollage before you go to bed.  This miracle products also reduces fine lines and fixes split ends...can we say miracle in a jar? 

 

Fall Trend- The Statement Necklace

If you are anything like me, you just can't leave the house without your finishing touch, jewellery!  This seasons statement necklace can not only complete your outfit, but make it as well.

 

 

For those of us that aren't too keen on the "pretty" collar trend in fashion, this elegant and stunning necklace from www.MyTouchstoneCrystal.com/TrueElegance will keep you beautifully on trend.   This necklace would make any outfit extra special and I especially love all the different colours of gold and bronze.  I really hope to purchase this in the coming weeks ;-)

 

Fall Trend- Lace

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to partake in this ultra feminine Fall trend.  Usually reserved for weddings and table cloths, this seasons lace fetish has me on the hunt for some wearable trendy pieces. 

 

 

 

I absolutely LOVE this outfit put together by fashionistatrends.com.  Although the peekabo lace vest from BKE Boutique is subtle, it stands out against the darker more military inspired pieces.  The great thing about lace is that it is so very multipurpose....Think blue jeans and motorcycle boots or pencil skirt and pumps. 

 

 

Well I hope this gives everyone a good idea of what trends to watch for in the stores in the next couple of weeks.  Take chances and try new things.  You only live once!
