Welcome to Monday!  I hope you brought some fun weekend memories with you.  I spent Sunday out in the countryside where it seems autumn was created.  Roadside farmstands, locally grown harvests and hayrides out to the orchards...Isn't October just magical?  From the sights (blazing hills, starry skies and perfect little pumpkin patches) to the smells (sweet apple crisps, savory sage and warm cinnamon spice) everything is so much cozier come fall.  Today's inspiration comes directly from Mother Nature (and my kitchen ;) with colors and fabrics that mimic fall's best.  I don't know about you but I've always loved earthy shades of caramel, smoke, moss and amber.  Not only do they play beautifully together, they also work with nearly every complexion and hair shade out there.  What could be better?  These boots have been a favorite in my closet for a couple of seasons now.  They are luxurious, versatile,  surprising comfortable and offer endless options of how to wear.  A great poncho or shawl is the fall closet's must-have piece.  This one in autumn plaid is perfect with an ivory turtleneck,  these boots, denim and this bag.  Hello cozy chic.  Makeup colors also warm up this time of year.  This palette reflects the season perfectly.  I'm also adoring this lipstick and this fragrance as we speak.  More beautiful options are linked for you below.  

Have a gorgeous day everyone!

Sage & Spice

Welcome to Monday!  I hope you brought some fun weekend memories with you.  I spent Sunday out in the countryside where it seems autumn was created.  Roadside farmstands, locally grown harvests and hayrides out to the orchards...Isn't October just magical?  From the sights (blazing hills, starry skies and perfect little pumpkin patches) to the smells (sweet apple crisps, savory sage and warm cinnamon spice) everything is so much cozier come fall.  Today's inspiration comes directly from Mother Nature (and my kitchen ;) with colors and fabrics that mimic fall's best.  I don't know about you but I've always loved earthy shades of caramel, smoke, moss and amber.  Not only do they play beautifully together, they also work with nearly every complexion and hair shade out there.  What could be better?  These boots have been a favorite in my closet for a couple of seasons now.  They are luxurious, versatile,  surprising comfortable and offer endless options of how to wear.  A great poncho or shawl is the fall closet's must-have piece.  This one in autumn plaid is perfect with an ivory turtleneck,  these boots, denim and this bag.  Hello cozy chic.  Makeup colors also warm up this time of year.  This palette reflects the season perfectly.  I'm also adoring this lipstick and this fragrance as we speak.  More beautiful options are linked for you below.

Beauty... It's such a wonderfully personal thing which we each enjoy approaching in our own way.  No matter whether you're a just-scrubbed fresh-faced or a glam from lashes to lips type of gal, you'll still find yourself loving these two of-the-moment colors.  

Candy apple red is the perfect shade of glamorous when swiped across the lips and classically paired with that alluring almost nude eye, artfully lined in black.  Seeking a more subtle approach?  Try glossing a fresh coat on your fingertips for instant femininity.  Some great ways to do either include Dolce & Gabbana The Lipgloss, Lancome "Color Design" Lipcolor and Dior Vernis Nail Lacquer.  If that 'just came in from the cold' look is something you seek, the smallest pinch of rosy red creme blush will achieve it in an instant.  Try Josie Maran Coconut Water Creme Gelee for gorgeous color and a healthy, hydrated glow or cult favorite, Nars blush, which boasts transparent pigments that impart a perfect, sheer look.

Creamy caramel is fall's other favorite flavor and shade that takes natural beauty to the next level.  From creamy complexion-enhancing foundations to gorgeous eye-emphasizing shadow shades, this neutral hue is anything but boring.  When wanting to carefully complement those gorgeous red lips we just talked about, there's no better way than by bating an eye.  Just make sure it's bathed in the brilliant beauty of a flattering shade like these you'll find in Bobbi Brown's Old Hollywood Eye Palette.  Complete with a mix of warm and cool tones and an assortment of mattes and shimmers, these nine colors come housed in a classic black mirrored compact complete with a dual-ended shadow brush perfect for glamorizing on the go.  Keep your skin dewy and fresh this fall with Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.  Finally, keep those glossy, soft lips you love are easily achievable with the perfect, natural, everyday shade of sensational.  I love Butter London's Lippy for its soft, smooth texture and unbeatable shine.

With colors this lovely and shades this rich, both inspired by nature, a trip to the apple orchard seems in order.  Hope you all enjoy a wonderful autumn weekend!

There are so many great items trending right now, I can hardly choose. Today I went with ladylike florals. Despite their bold pattern, these designs can really play like a neutral and be paired in so many different ways. For this look I went with a floral pencil skirt and built the look around it. As a forever fan of Kelly green, I chose it in a feminine silk bow tie blouse and had fun playing with color by going with the yellow shoe. The white bag is a wonderful statement piece and adds an understated way to pull it all together. Add a few girlie accessories and your favorite sunnies and you're all set for a colorful day at the office this spring.
