One of my favorite colors!
Fall 2010 makeup is about smoky brown eyes, vibrant eyeshadows along the lash line, deep plum/burgundy lips and minimalist makeup. These, to me, are contradictions to each other but allows plenty of opportunity to go from barely there to bold and in your face.
Summer's flying by and stores are starting to bring out the long sleeves and boots, so in order to get a head start on what to look forward to this fall I'm going to post a sneak peek of what to look for next season. And the best part? Anything I post will be under $100 :)
First up, don't pack away any military-style items you wore in the spring because it will still be relevant in the fall. I already posted some ideas for military clothing but here are a few more options to get you started if you haven't already:
Although I'm officially on shopping timeout, I am on the lookout for things to wear for birthday weekend. I really don't have any plans but I DO wanna be dressed as nice as possible for the heck of it. So off I went to ASOS just for inspiration Here are just a few of the things that caught my eye:

...that everytime I see Solange Knowles, I like her more and more. Ok her hair is a little questionable (windy possibly?) but I adore her Boxing Kitten dress. She's supposed to be dj-ing out in Brooklyn this Friday and I'm thinking I kinda wanna see what her set is like.
This pic from her blog is MUCH better.
Anyway, I love the tribal prints in both these images and was inspired to leave a few ideas in case you're into it too!
For those that know me, you know I kinda hate showing my legs so when spring/summer comes around I'm still wearing jeans but I'll show a little calf, lol. But 2010 is my "do what you wouldn't do" year and I have absolutely been loving looks I've seen with dresses, shorts and rompers so I'll be wearing them rather than just admire them on others. Rompers, like dresses, are real simple. Throw it on, add a denim jacket, some cute sandals and accessories and you're good to go.
Here's a couple ideas:
I need these in my life. I've been looking for black wedges for a little while (even though I'm not supposed to be shopping for another few weeks- I've been good so far) These are amazing. So what I can't wear them with everything? They're fierce and I love them. My only issue is that I haven't heard too many good things about the quality of shoes from Urban Outfitters. But they're $50 so I'm willing to take a chance.
Back from last spring, florals are one of the must have patterns for this season. Throw a floral dress on with a denim jacket, a boyfriend blazer, or a cardigan; some flats or boots and you're out the door, looking amazing!
