Fall is my favorite time of the year. Beautiful crisp days and cool nights that make you want to snuggle in with a cup of tea and a good book. The leaves change to the most beautiful colors and the days get shorter. My favorite thing about fall is the fashion. Layers, boots, jackets, sleeves, scarves, all of these are some of my favorite items to wear. In terms of trends, here are some of my favorites for fall 2012.
Strong, thick brow. I always love this trend because I believe that a thicker brow makes you look younger. Not to say that one should be rockin' some bushy, untamed caterpillers, (unless of course that's what tickles your fancy..) but a nicely defined, filled in brow can do wonders to the overall look of your face. Nothing worse than an over plucked brow.
Deep red lips. This trend is stunning, in my opinion, and quite easy to achieve. Out with the old nude lip (that I still really enjoy, I must say.) and in with the wine, berry and blood reds. Just remember that a red with a blue/purple undertone will make your teeth look whiter and a red with a yellow/orange undertone will make your teeth look more yellow. And don't forget to do the whole "stick your pinky in between your lips and then slip it out" trick...Don't want any lipsick transferring to your teeth!
For hair this fall, I'm loving waves, texture and messiness. The more imperfect the more perfect it is. Embrace your natural texture and see what happens. The less fuss the better.
By far the "it" color for fall is a deep red or oxblood. I absolutely love it, which doesn't surprise me because red is my favorite color. This hue is EVERYWHERE. On nails, lips, clothes and accessories. There is a deep red shade that goes with any coloring. Anything goes.Your best bet to achieving this trend is pick one focus point and have that be your only article of oxblood per outfit. That way you don't over do it. Beautiful!
I always have and always will adore leather. I try to stick with the fake variety, but with items these days, you would sometimes never even know the difference. This look instantly ups the edgy vibe in such an effortless way. Any color will do. A leather motorcycle jacket will amp up your wardrobe and go with nearly everything. I wear my cropped black leather jacket with everything from graphic tees and skinny jeans with cage heels to feminine dresses and pumps. The possibilites are endless.
Coziness. That's all I think of when I think of oversized sweaters. What more could you want for a crisp autumn day? XO
