Fall Nails

Guessssss what!?! Fall is here and that means we can wear goth nail polish again!! I am ecstatic.  You might find my excitement about nail polish a bit odd, but you know what? I don't really care. I love nail polish and I am not afraid to show it.  Nail polish is truly one of my greatest loves in life. Sigh.

I am bored with the pinks of summer and am ready to opt for some darker shades, I've just been patiently waiting for the weather to cooperate.  Don't get me wrong, I do love to paint a hot pink or orange, but I think darks are more fun and I keep my nails short, so darker shades look better on me.

OPI just came out with a new fall line that I am obsessing over.  The line is called "touring america" and has 12 shades for fall! If you've never been to the OPI website, you are seriously missing out.  They have a try it on feature where you can see what the nail polish color looks like on, add shatter, and you can even change the length of the nail and the skin color!  Genius, right?  Here is one of the shades I picked up, Suzi Takes the Wheel. 

I also got Uh-oh Roll Down the Window (is that gross btw?), which is a camouflage green color which I LOVE!! It is so cute and fall-y.

I am looking to pick up a few more new colors for fall, one will most likely be a red like Fishnet Stockings made by Essie.  It's a great color for the Holidays because it is classic and chic!

Here's a color palette to give you some nail polish ideas for fall and winter.

Classic Red  Nudes  Metallics  Army Green Mauve



Whatever color you choose, just make sure its painted perfectly and NO CHIPS! Chips are the devil.

Kitten Eyes

An ode to the dramatic 60's style cat eyeliner, kitten eyes are popping up everywhere.  I am not a huge fan of tons of eye make up, as I like more natural looks, so I think this is the perfect way to wear eyeliner.

Here is a pic of Nicole Richie sporting the more dramatic version. I think it looks good, but it's not so much an every day look.  She is at the Oscars in this pic.  Obviously a dramatic look like this would be a bit over the top for most situations.

As you can see below, the played down version is so pretty! Still defines your eyes and gives them a little pop but looks much more natural!

To get this look, you need a liquid liner (or fine tipped liner pencil).  Paint it close to your lash line and flick it up at the corners.  Careful not to go back and forth too many times because it will get messed up.  You can use a Q tip and some eye make up remover to perfect the shape.  At the end it should look something like this:

Here are some other celebs sporting the look!

Alicia Keys

Probably the biggest connoisseur of winged eye liner, Kate Moss

Jessica Alba



My personal favorite, Gwen Stefani

Practice makes perfect!!

On the Fence

About peplum dresses. They kind of remind of horrific 80's fashion, but then on the other hand they are kind of classically chic.

I just don't know. They seem to be trending right now, but I am not sure if I can adopt this one. I can almost guarantee they're not here to stay.

I am sure you have all seen this famous peplum dress worn by MANY celebs from Victoria Beckham's line.

I think it depends on the size of the actual peplum and the structure of the dress. The look is best with a smaller peplum with a dress that mimics a lady-like business suit, like Posh's design above.

This one I think is totally cute and wearable. To work or a nice dinner or something. It is conservative but has an element of sexiness to it.

Alice + Olivia $264.00



And then there's other looks like this one that are just, well, barf.

Looks like she's half woman, half UFO.

All in all, some are cute, some are ugly. If you're gonna go for this trend, make sure you find the perfect peplum or else you might end up looking like a fool. If I happen to stumble across a good one, I will snag it up but otherwise I am going to pass on this trend.

J Simps HAS TO be Preggo

I know these rumors have been going around for like 3 years. Mostly having to do with her yo-yo weight. But this time, I am pretty sure she is pregnant. She postponed her wedding date, sign #1, and she only wears loose fitting clothes, sign #2, and she is getting errr rapidly fatter as the days go by, sign #3.

Look at these pics!! Here is her at LAX this morning. Do you see that bump?!

And her in Dallas a couple days ago...



My guess is she got preggo and didn't want to get married fat so she is waiting til after the baby comes to get married. I mean she's been engaged for almost a year now. In celebrity relationships that's the equivalent of like 10 years. I would think they would've tied the knot by now!

Either way, good luck to J Simps! Maybe MTV will give her another newlyweds reality show. That was a pretty funny show. Even though she probably wouldn't do it because she is ridiculously loaded already. Her empire generated over $1 billion (yes I said billion) in sales in 2010 and her net worth is said to be over $100 million. All I can say is go gurl!

What the...

Uhh guys, what happened to Fergie? I saw this pic of her at an event in Paris from June 23rd. Is it me or does she look like a completely different person?



She is only 36 years old!! She looks atleast 50 in this pic. Look at her neck wrinkles. I don't really get it, she is obsessed with health and fitness, it baffles me how she can look so old.

She is kind of like a chameloen though. Sometimes I see pics of her where she looks young and fresh and then others like the one above. I think when she wears her hair down, she can hide her face a little and it makes her look younger.



I don't wanna be mean. I actually like Fergie. But she should wear her hair down all the time.

Someone Looks Chic

Gwen Stefani running errands in London on her 42nd birthday. Slim chance, but I hope I look half as good as her when I am 42. LOVING the outfit.

Cropped Trousers

Love love love! I think these pants are a must for any professional girl.

They are great because you can wear them to work with heels or even flats for a more casual look. You can even wear them on the weekends with a little spiced up top and accessories for a more fun look.

Great addition for the fall wardrobe. I got a pair from forever 21 for only $20! These aren't the ones I got, but they are really similar.

The only thing to be careful of with these pants is the pleats. I personally like pleats, but you have to be careful that they're not to baloon-y or else you'll look like a heifer, and no one wants that! You have to make sure the pleats are small and the pants are fitted through the waist and hips.

Here are some other cute pairs I found. Click on pic to follow.

You get the idea. Does anyone else think the word "Trousers" is off-putting? Sounds like something a grandpa would wear. Actually a great grandpa.
