White is the new Rainbow.

Makeup-ish Monday

Before we get to makeup I want to set out a list of goals, and since you can see them, I'm obligated trying to follow through with them.

1. Be more social, when I go places, I usually keep to myself.
2. Make some new friends, I love the old ones, but I need variety.
3. Be more positive. A given.
4. Try to be nicer.
5. Get serious about what I'm doing after graduation.

There! Keep me in check!

If you aren't TOO bored, this is my favorite makeup look from the runway this week.

Lanvin Fall 2012

I don't know what it is about all over black, catty eyes I love, but man I love it. A how-to Wednesday with this look? Maybe.

Oops.

I've missed a few days, sorry! I'll make it up with a Things I Love Friday Saturday.

Jean jackets, just in general, and it's super hot here, but I can't help myself. The lake, not really a product, but one of my favorite places to spend my summers. Braids, any kind, I've been mermaid tailing lately, colored flares (I have them in burgundy), and preparing for fall, again not a product, but all the same, I love it.

I love fall, I love the color palettes, the sweaters, the scarves, the weather, the constant pumpkin smell, Halloween, Thanksgiving, everything about it is fun. For me, fall is spring, it's a new start, rather than just an end to summer. Hopefully this fall I'll get a lot of things off my checklist.. Which I'll post soon!

Trends and Dilemmas

Just.. I can't. No. Maybe in a different color. And print. And shape.

Rodarte Fall-Winter 2012-13

I've been on trend watch for fall and I've been seeing tons of things I like. Maybe. Since theres a lot to cover, let's start with what's being called "granny chic". Sometimes granny is good, like when she sends you cookies. I don't think dressing like the Queen of England is really the best fashion choice for anyone (with the exception of the queen).  

Here's a much more pleasant way to go granny.

Lyn Devon Fall-Winter 2012-13

The only thing better than the grandma look is the grandpa look. 

Ralph Lauren Fall-Winter 2012-13

RL, why? Why did you do this to me? I love Ralph Lauren but he's been making a LOT of mistakes. The Olympics mishap, Romney's Yarmulke.. RL, what are you thinking? Stop.

I guess this fall and winter are going to be full of eccentric pieces, that look wrinkly. But more fashionably, "rumpled". My advice is to pick an eccentric piece and style it down. Printed sweater? Wear it with some plain trousers and fabulous shoes. Don't dress like you're on the runway to go to work, dress like you just so happened to own this and "Oh is this old thing is in style now?"

One more quick tip, don't over do the tweed!

Tory Burch Fall-Winter 2012-13

Monday Madness

UN happy Monday! The past week has been.. painful hectic. I started school and waking up so early is really killing my summer buzz. On to the makeup.

I've been really minimal with my makeup, summer heat and a full face of makeup are NOT friends. A touch of bronzer (it smells like chocolate!) and a wisp of mascara, sometimes to get fancy, a lip stain. However, if you ARE going to wear a full face, make sure to prime, and carry powder and oil blotting sheets. 

Product of the Week: MAC's Morange

Summer Tip: Make sure carry some product with you, in case of makeup meltage, you want to be able to fix that pretty little face of yours. 

XOXO,

Babette

Things I Love Friday

These Dittos Bold Over Jeans from ModCloth. J'adore the color! It's the perfect summer blue, in my book. This parfait pair of rainbow Jeffery Campbells, I am in love with his designs and want to buy ALL of them. They make me feel like Rainbow Brite! The artwork of Smithe/Graffiti & Illustration. This adorable crochet top from Luna Vintage, I'm really diggin' their site. And lastly these adorable little cat collars by TheGlamorousCat on Etsy!

XOXO,
Babette
