FALL FORWARD

Well, the summer season has officially softened into the fall sunset uprooting its scarves for winter solace.

I think this is the first year that I have not looked forward to fall. In fact, I am actually dreading the mystical season. Aside from the fact that Florida did not experience much of a fall last year, with the exception of light weight scarf adaptation, this is the FIRST Florida fall where I will not be able to afford the futile luxury to furnish my closet with new seasonal bliss. I keep trying to ignite my wise investment in an expensive private school..but im finding all reasons almost illogical at this point.

Since my bank account is way out of kilter with fall necessities, I found it necessary to share a few favorite fall fashion looks and predictions.. enjoy.

First, lets get the look!
Neon is here to Stay! While neon looks engulfed 75% of summer wear this year, the look will wildly continue into fall. However, sneaking it with rather subtle looks and bolder counter parts.

Check out this model at the DVF show this week. LOVE this neon top. Pair with black leather shorts and tights this season!

Here is a more subtle look from Top Shop, perfect for fall. 

DOTS, DOTS, DOTS! They arent going away. Patterns alike are still sweeping the runway, which has made Karen Walker one of our Favorites! How adorable are these dots? 

Of course, we cant afford these exact gems. However, Urban Outfitters is having their summer sale to clear the air for fall! We found this cute little number you can pair with textured tights, and a neon or patterned blazer...under 40 bucks! 

Eye Gotta Hold on You: Mascara Monday

Well, its no denying that i am ALL about Big Lashes. Thus, it only made sense to share my adaptation of love for some lash lusting. 

As for me, my lashes tend to become immune to all types of mascara after only a few months use. This always leaves me in a panic and frustration. For one, I hate to waste any tube that I purchase. Two, having rough, spider-like and thin lashes are more upsetting to me than a zit. I LOVE mascara but I completely dislike the look of obviously showing you are wearing more than enough.   I'm always in need of an easy, insouciant mascara that can be my go-to charmer. Problem is, I constantly need to be switching up my tubes and brushes. 

Which brings me to..my Mascara Monday..yaaaa. 

Yesterday, after a perilous battle with Define A Lash, I decided it was time for a break up. I stopped by Target and picked up Scandal Eyes-lycra flex by Rimmel London. To be honest, I saw a picture of Zoe Deschanel, a sale tag, and snatched that baby right up. There was no previous analysis involved. Im a get-in the store and get out..as quickly as possible. Some people may call that impulse, I call it a mission. 

Anyways, here's my review. 

This is what Scandal Lashes Claim it does:  "Exclusive formula with Lycra Technology makes lashes look full and voluptuous, never stiff or brittle."

True!:- The brush itself is everything I could have asked for! Its big, its plush and wasn't engulfed with black residue when i took it out of the tube. 

What I loved: It definitely gave my lashes a lush volume, lengthening each and every lash WITHOUT leaving it hard or having the feeling of even wearing any mascara. It felt natural and I even applied several coats to test its clumping capabilities. There was also no flaking after a day of wear. 

What I disliked: well, this is actually perfect for my lashes. However, if you have smaller bottom lashes, this may become difficult to apply.

Emulate Emma- Bold Blue Babies

For those of you with tired eyes, the easiest way to wake them up is to line your eyes in blue. Yes, blue. Blue liner makes the inner white in your eye seem brighter. Therefore, creating the illusion of WIDE AWAKE LOOKERS. 


When we think blue, we think Emma. Emma stone is always known for her gold and blue eyes. Thus, we decided to pull a form of copy cat...and emulate our favorite, Emma. 


Here's our adapted eye...


I Used the following MAC eyeshadows below: 
1. Jest- Neutral Base of the eye
2. Parrot- prime liner
3. Deep Truth- Main Liner 

I first primed my eyes in JEST to give myself a good natural base to play with. I only went as high as the crease in my eye. 

Next, I lined my eyes with parrot and followed underneath my eye as well. Dont worry about making this perfect. 

Take a thin liner Brush, dip it in water and pat into Deep Truth. I wet the brush so the powder from the shadow would not fall into my eye or on my check. It also gives the look a smoother liner. Dont be afraid to use liner as opposed to shadow. I am just better with lines when using Shadow. 

Line your eye with Deep Truth as close to the base as you can. When creating a cat eye, I sometimes like to use a straight edge of a piece of paper to measure and make sure my line is straight. Follow the liner below your eye as well, connecting the cat eye to the bottom of your eye. 

Put on your favorite Mascara (I used Define A Lash) and a touch of white in the inner corner of your eye, and you're ready to party!
