My Fall & Winter Fashion Must Haves

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

The Fall season is JUST around the corner, so you know what that means?? Shopping for new Fall fashion goodies!!  I found myself purchasing most of my clothing overseas. I’m completely obsessed with the fashions in Asia. It’s always chic & original.

I’m happy to say that I am just about done all my Fall clothes shopping. If you watch my YouTube videos, then you know that I talked about putting myself on a ban. That means NO shopping for clothing or makeup-essentials only. While it’s strict, I think it’s necessary; besides, I stocked up on some major fashionable goodies and I’m excited to share them with you!

I would not  consider myself “trendy”. I NEVER buy clothing that’s going to be in for one season and out the next-it’s a complete waste of money.Everything I purchased for the Fall/ Winter were items that I had been wanting for a while and I’d like to think I will get a few seasons out of all these awesome clothes.

Drum roll please…. *lol*

I’ve kept the colors in my wardrobe to grays, pewter, black-anything super dark.

Plaid: Suddenly, I find myself completely obsessed with plaid-especially anything with the color black in it.

Draped Sleeves: I’ve gravitated toward shirts that drape. I especially like plain colored shirts with the draping sleeves. It gives you the opportunity to accesorieze accordingly and gives you endless options. Totally wearable day or night and oh so comfortable.

Princess Sleeves: Slightly puffy & ruffled, they can make your outfit look so classic & feminine.

Applique Style Tops: Super feminine & lady like! Yet another option to make a plain shirt looks fashionable & feminine. In my opinion, this style can look somewhat vintage

Slouchy boots: I’m usually the girl who wears Uggs from Fall to Spring but Uggs aren’t a dressy look and certainly can make an outfit look drab. Slouchy boots enable me to still wear flat boots but they can make your outfit look chic.

Black Boyfriend Blazer paired with skinny jean & booties or heels: Where do I even begin? I’ve adored this look for so long. It’s a look that you often see the beautiful Kim Kardashian wearing. Very stylish & wearable day or night!

Dolman Styles Shirts: This is a stlye that I’ve seen for a quite awhile now.  It’s a simple yet stylish piece.

Fallin’ for Greige

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

I must admit, I do tend to get majorly excited when the Summer season draws to an end because I’m able to start wearing deeper toned colors on my nails. Summer time nails are all about either pale/ light shades or bold & bright colors. I often look forward to the time where I can enjoy the deep, dramatic dark tones.

Say hello to my new favorite & must have color for the Fall season. Ingrid by China Glaze. This color is from the Vintage Vixen collection. Ingrid is described as being “Greige”. Beige, meet Gray! It’s interesting because from afar, Ingrid looks like a very cool toned dark gray color.  Up close it looks slightly cool yet warm with a beautiful gold shimmer to it. It’s definitely a color that you don’t see everyday-that’s what drew me to it.

Speaking of “greige” colors, another nail polish that caught my eye was Essie’s Mink Muffs. Up close, this color reminds me of hot chocolate-very rich & creamy. It is very similar to Ingrid. The only difference is that Mink Muffs does not have any gold shimmer to it.

When closely compared to one another, I would say that Mink Muffs looks warmer than Ingrid.

These two colors are absolutely stunning and I look forward to frequently wearing both colors!
