Fall into Autumn Pictures....

I love browsing Pinterest for new pictures on fashion, beauty and DIY. But most of all i love looking at the pictures and ideas about the new season. I did one of these last summer, gathered all my favourite summer pictures together. So i decided to do an Fall one too. Fall as you all know by now ( i mention it enough) is by far my favourite season, the colours, the clothes and the weather. So here are my picks of the crop from pinterest, tumblr and all the rest.

So these are by far my favourite fall pictures! SUPER FESTIVE! 

I also propose this challenge to you all:

I did this last year and while it posed some challenges like the withdrawal symptoms from not ingesting enough sugar for my addiction, i felt healthier and happier at the end of it. 

Happy Autumn

Fall is Finally Here!

I am so excited that fall is here! I know most people despise the cold weather but I can't wait to embrace it! I know there have not been any blog posts for awhile. However life got busy! But i'm back and ready to give you some new fall essential tips!

The first thing I love to do in the fall is wear knee high socks with dresses! I love the look and and I love knee highs! Teaming knitted socks, a dress, a leather jacket and combat boots are a recipe for success! Easy as anything to throw together and always destined to look amazing.
This can also be transitioned  into winter by adding a coat, scarf and a hat!

Fall is the time of year when we enhance our natural beauty, the fake tan can die down a bit and the neutral colours can come out. The Urban Decay Naked Pallete has some amazing colour in which I used to create a perfect fall eye look! My favoutites are : 'Naked' all over the lid. 'Buck' as a best friend colour if you have tan/dark skin. 'Sidecar' in the crease and finally 'Darkhorse' for an evening look.

Jumpers, jumpers, jumpers. I just can't get enough. Jumpers are the perfect staple for a fall wardrobe, warm and cosy but also stylish. Black knitted jumpers are by far my favourite clothing product of the autumn, paired with jeans, or leggings, even tucked into a skirt or layered over a dress, jumpers are by far the handest item to have in your fall arsenal. 

Boots are another of one of my favourite accesories to wear for autumn. Booties paired with basically anything can keep your toes warm while being on trend. The ankle booties are a nice change from Uggs or riding boots, which brings me on to my next type of boots, Riding boots. Riding boots are so very preppy chic. Think Blair Waldorf and Spencer Hastings. Riding boots look great with dresses, skirts, jeans or pants. 

Cream blushes. Perfect for giving that subtle flushed look that looks natural and stays in your skin longer than a powder blush. In the colder months, your skin can dehydrate therefore it is important to moisturize and look fresh. However powder blushes can sometimes accentuate your dry skin and make your skin look powdery and dry. Cream blushes offer a great alternative for colour without the dry, cakey effect.

Leather Jacket. A leather jacket is a winner for so many reasons. You can barely ever go wrong with a leather jacket. Its comfortable and chic and so much easier to wear than a massive heavy jacket. A leather jacket saves you in those months where it's too cold to wear no jacket at all but not cold enough to wear a heavy duty coat.

Fall 2013 Beauty Trends

It's no secret that Fall, by far is my favourite season. The jumpers, the tights, the boots, the pumpkin spiced lattes. However the best part of Fall...... the BEAUTY! The maroons and reds and blacks and greens, they make fall all the better and make you forget about the chilly weather.

Wine Lips

It's all about the berry lips, ladies. Get to the stores and pick as many as you can. This trend surfaced last year and it looks as if it's here to stay for another year. My personal favourite is Ballet Russe from Chanel and when I want a lighter colour and a glossier finish I turn to Revlon lip butter in raspberry pie. A bold lipstick like the Chanel can just as easily be blotted onto the lips with a fuchsia lip gloss placed over the top to create a perfect autumn berry look.

Coloured Eyes

 

We are going back to the 80's in the best sense possible. Coloured eye shadow used to be a thing of the past, tacky and over done, it was all about the neutral eyes with the black liner but now, the colours have fought back. From liner, to shadow, to mascara, colour is back and bigger than ever. Maybeline have come out with limited edition coloured Great Lash mascara, Lancome and D&G have released Coloured liquid liners and every brand in between have been bringing out the rainbow.  Even if you don’t want to invest in a passing trend used a eye shadow in green, purple, blue or red and use a pencil brush, a spray of setting spray (optional) and use as a liner. It works just as well, saves money and looks original.

Oh Naturel

 

Last year it was all about the harsh contour and highlight, but with the natural look also being in its more of a natural glow that is blended out rather than the harsh lines. Trust me, it will take me a while to get over my harsh contouring that defined my face but this trend is something to embrace. Looking natural in the autumn is a refreshing change.

Waves, Tousled, Side, Waves, Tousled, Side

Forget big kim Kardashian, glamour curls, this fall 2013 its all about the waves. Think blake lively, turn the heat down on your curlers or hold the hair on for a shorter time, while twisting the hair round the barrel ( no clamp) instead on making sure the hair is smooth and  tight. To finish add hairspray and scrunch.

Scrunch Scrunch Scrunch. Scrunching, say it! Its your new best friend this season .

 For tousled hair use a salt spray, mouse or beach spray and scrunch!! Set with hairspray if needed.

And finally the side sweep, side part your hair pull into a medium height ponytail and set with hairspray if needed. Alternatively combine two hair trends by side parting and sweeping in to a low bun at the base of your neck. Or braid loosely into a side braid.

Tah Dah! Easy, simple, everyday hair that is perfect for school or work, 

Small beauty tips that can help you look on season this Fall!

Happy Autumn
