Favorite Fall Nude Lippies

9:46 PM

When we think of Fall, it's typical for many of us to think of those dark, vampy shades. But just as us ladies pour our time and energy into those deep, seductive colors, there's one group of tones that are having a major moment...NUDES! While nudes can be easily passed up, let's not forget the natural, effortless feel these colors give to just about any look--especially through makeup! One way we LOVE to rock a chic nude is by letting our lips do the talking! Below, we're giving you a few of our favorite nude lip shades for Fall. You never know, a good lippie like one of these could be the difference between a look that's blah, blah, boring and fa-la-la-la-flawless!

"Taupe" of the Line

Looking for that "barely there" look? Then a taupe shade is the perfect pick-me up! Not only will you achieve that soft and subtle vibe, but who doesn't love that "no make-up" make up look? It's a win-win, don't you think?

Grey Gorgeousness

Out of all the nude shades out there, one color that is definitely getting full attention this season is grey. When many of us crave a deep shade, it's easy to admit we all tend to go for those seductive reds, purples,and any other sexy color we can get our hands on--but we don't stop to think about this unique shade. Not only does this color give THE perfect '90's grunge look, but it puts a stylish twist on going dark for Fall. Can you say "edgy-cool", ladies?

Pretty In Pink

For those of us looking to add a hint of color, a nude lippie with rosy/pink undertones does just the trick! These colors are such an easy pick for a sweet, feminine touch! We're feeling extra cute just thinking about it!

Beautiful In Brown

Like grey, brown is another nude that's great for taking a trip on the darker side! Just as it adds yet another perfect '90's vibe to your look, a dark lippie in this tone is sure to keep you looking sexy and cool all season long :)

Fall 2016 Lookbook

10:18 AM

This season is one of the most exciting times of the year for us! Besides the cool weather, yummy food, and all the fun-filled adventures that come with it, one important piece that we always enjoy is the fashion! Last year we gave you all our very first Fall lookbook, and we figured Fall wouldn't be Fall without bringing you guys another one! Below are some of our favorite pieces and trends that we'd rock this season. We hope you all enjoy these outfits as much as we do and become inspired to create your own unique looks!

Nothing channels your Fall vibes better than a cute and cozy flannel! It's stylish, comfortable, and puts a great spin on your typical button-up! Just add in a sleek pair of jeans and booties (the western edge cut has become an absolute fave of ours) and you've got "Fall" written all over you!

There's no better look that screams "Fall" than the utility trend! This look is perfect for those of us who love that mixture of equal parts feminine and rugged-chic! Not only is this vest super versatile, but this olive tone pairs amazingly with so many neutrals this season. Want to kick things up a notch? Just add combat or lug-soled boots for a tough edge!

Looking to catch everyone's eye this season? There's no better way to do so than with bold shades! Try playing around with colors such as mustard or auburn. Other jewel tones (reds, yellows, purples, blues, greens) work perfectly, too! This auburn cardigan adds just the right pop of color and plays as an ideal statement piece to this look. For a casual-chic appeal, just throw in some skinnies with a pair of booties--and for those of you looking for a more girly feel, try swapping out jeans for a sleek pencil or skater skirt with leggings. Throw in some booties (if you're feeling extra chilly) or a pair of heels...and voila!

The maxi trend isn't just for Spring and Summer, ladies. This high-slit maxi top has Fall feels written all over it! The cool mix of neutrals along with the various sizes of stripes definitely gives this look a playful touch. Pair with sleek skinnies and lace-ups for a cool, feminine vibe. If you're feeling more on the casual side, just swap out the heels for your fave pair of sneakers. Sporty-chic never looked this good, either!

If you're looking for something easy-breezy, warm, and chic, then this look will do just the trick! Just as Fall is all about those toasty colors, there's always something effortless about sticking to those go-to neutrals. This oversized sweater combined with these dark wash skinnies and booties make for a simplistic, yet cozy-cool vibe. Not to mention, the fitted sleeves and side slits give this look the femininity and attention it deserves and puts a twist on the oversized sweater trend :)

Who says florals are just for warmer weather? Break all the rules by giving this universal print a gorgeous Fall spin! Dark florals are the perfect way to hang on to your favorite parts of Summer, while still accomodating the cooler season. Pairing dark florals with jewel tones, like this mustard cardigan, gives your look an amazing pop of color and brings those florals to life, all while staying true to Fall!

Fall Ready: Make That Transition

4:08 AM

Happy Fall, ya'll! We know that everyone is gearing up for the dark, vampy shades, cool, crisp air, getting cute and cozy, and pumpkin spice everything! Although we're super excited to indulge in all that Fall has to offer, we know that many of you, including ourselves, are stuck in that awkward in-between--not too hot, not quite cold enough...and we're just not ready to let go of those cute Summer staples! But what a relief to know that you don't have to ditch those hot little numbers just yet! Instead, just make the transition :) Below are some chic and convenient ways to transition some of those fave warm-weather pieces into this crisp, beautiful season. These are just to name a few, so don't be afraid to let us know some of your favorite ways to transition your wardrobe into Fall!

xoxo,

Change Your Color Schemes

Switch out those Summer brights for stylish jewel tones! Mustard, turquoise, purple, and auburn are all great ways to look the part for Fall, while still maintaining that bright pop of color. You can also opt for navy, red, berry, and cobalt blue for an even bolder statement!

The Block Heel

Who didn't love a good block heel this past season?! With Fall kicking into high gear, who says you can't carry this trend with you? Take your look to new heights by pairing these babies with your favorite skinny jeans and a chunky knit sweater! It's cozy, cool-girl vibes at its best!

The Classic White Blouse

Who says you can't rock white after Labor Day? A crisp, white blouse is a universal statement piece in every woman's closet! And just because Summer is over, it doesn't mean you can't break a rule or two and bring this little number out to play in the cooler days ahead. Just trade in those shorts and sandals for a sleek pair of jeans and booties for Fall-ready feels!

Change Your Shoes

While sandals and wedges were flirty and fun, it's time to break out shoes with more Fall-esque appeal! Loafers, oxfords, flats, lace-ups, and block-heeled booties in cool-weather tones and patterns are perfect picks for taking your look from Summer-chic to enhancing your Fall fleek!

The Skater Skirt

This easy, breezy little number transitions amazingly from those hot Summer days to those cozy, cool Fall nights! Just throw in a stylish long-sleeved top and a pair of sleek tights or leggings and your favorite booties!

Fall Nails

Trade in those brights and neons for something more muted and neutral. Nudes, neutrals (taupes, greys, browns, black, white, olive, etc), berries, oxblood, oranges, blues, and blushes are some of our favorite picks for this time of year!

The Summer Scarf

You know that amazingly cute scarf that you've been pairing with all those Summer looks? Well bring it out to play this season by wearing it as a cover-up with some of your favorite Fall 'fits! This fringed little scarf happens to double as a kimono--how cool is that?! You can also choose ones in chic Fall prints and patterns to get into the spirit of the season even more!

Fall Lipsticks

Similar to your nails, your lips should be treated just the same! Make the leap from those bright shades to something more dark, subtle, or bold! Some of our favorite picks for this season include mauve, red, grey, oxblood, and nude/neutral tones!
