I know what you’re thinking – “It’s way too early to be thinking about fall clothes. What about the 80 degree weather we’re still having?!” Well… maybe. But there is one fall item that I am always guaranteed to be more excited about than anything else. BOOTS! I just can’t wait!
I definitely find ways to incorporate boots into my summer wardrobe as well, but there are just so many more choices come autumn. Stacked heels, riding boots, slouchy suede, lace-up, ankle, sleek leather. Ahh… I get goosebumps even thinking about Macy’s boot section.
You will be seeing the stacked heel just about everywhere. The pointier heels are still there, but many have added detail like laces or tassles. Slouchy suede boots can be paired with anything from a long, toasty wool cardi or a flowy floral fall dress. Best part about 2011 Fall boots? Just about every shoe retailer has been bitten by the bug. You can find a great pair for $40, right along with the $700 dollar dream pair!
Nautical, yacht-inspired looks are hot this season and the trend is carrying on through the fall season too. Navy, sailor stripes, and clean crisp white airy fabrics are not just for a trip to the French Riviera. Makeup compliments this style with a bold classic feel and casual whimsy details.
As with all fashion trends it is best to choose one centerpiece and compliment with your own classic items. For instance, a navy military inspired coat with gold buttons is your trend piece. Pair it with your favorite pair of jeans, a white classic tank or T-shirt, neutral flats, gold bangles, and hoop earrings to accessorize.
This goes for your makeup too. The main statement in the nautical look is the crimson lips, and all the other makeup should be paired down, sheer, classic, and easy.
Use a color like Rouge, Beaute, or Stunning Artistry Lip Colour as the highlight for your lips. Apply with your favorite liner for a bold look, or alone to just stain your lips.
Lastly give a slight glow to your cheek bones with Rosewood Artistry Cheek Colour. It gives just enough flush to your cheeks to look like you’ve just been slightly windblown.
Make the nautical style your own. Just keep it easy and fresh with simple classic pieces, and bright bold lips. It’s a look great for everyday, a night on the town, and really never goes out of style!
Old Hollywood Glam. Red lips, crisp liner and an Audrey Hepburn-like vibe. The best part of this look? It never goes out of style!
