Bold Color Charges On…
If you haven't already mixed bright, bold colors into your wardrobe, now is the time to do it! There's been no stopping this trend and it's taking the fall by storm. You don't need an art degree to master color blocking, just a daring spirit, 2-3 solid colors and a willingness to clash!
Step it up with Tough Luxe
Tough enough for a biker gang or a girls night out, the motorcycle boot is a must have for fall. While some of them are a little to hard core for me, there are so many styles out there to choose from, you are bound to find the perfect mix of edgy and glamourous.
Alluring Lace
Lace is one of the top dress trends for fall and the latest lace dresses come in so many styles, there's one for each of your fashion personalities. They are perfect for now and you can extend the trend into next season by layering it with a denim jacket or long cardigan. I love this French Connection 'Lizzie' Lace Dress as well as the Laundry by Shelli Segal 'Sand Dollar' Lace Shift Dress, both available at Nordstrom.
Cult Classic… Nars Aqua Gel Hydrator
After a weekend in the city with too little sleep and way too many drinks, as much fun as it was, my skin is paying the price feeling dry and dehydrated. Thank God for Nars Aqua Gel Hydrator! An ultra-luxurious lightweight gel-cream mask comprised of 87% water delivers intense hydration to dull, dehydrated skin. Once massaged into the skin, exclusive technology ensures optimal moisture delivery to provide hydration throughout the night.
Rivive Your Tired Eyes!
Erno Lazslo's Luminous Eye Complex is a product that everyone should have and one that we all could use. It detoxifies and brightens the skin around the eyes, while strengthening the delicate eye skin, brightens dark circles, and reduces puffiness.
Clean your skin with an Oil Cleanser?
I'm sure many if you may think I am crazy right now to ever suggest using an oil based cleanser to clean your skin, but give this one a try, and you will be pleasantly surprised! The Amore Pacific Treatment Cleansing Oil is a gentle, botanically-based oil cleanser for the face and eyes that effectively cleanses the skin without depleting the skin's own protective barrier.
She will be Queen of the Jungle Gym!
The Crewcut Leopard MacAlister boots are perfect for kicking off the school year! These exotic, go- anywhere boots will go with just about everything in your little ones wardrobe while showing off her style! But if taking a walk on the wild side is not her thing, check out the glam glitter collection... she is sure to love!
Protect Your Lovely Locks
Thinking back to what I have put my hair through all these years, I can hardly believe I have any left. It all started with perming (why did I ever do that?), highlighting, crimping, teasing (after all I did grow up in New Jersey), straightening, curling, and now coloring (ugh... gray's). I have just been introduced to a product that will help protect your hair from all the stress.
Brighten up Above the eye…
If you are going to take the time in the morning to apply eye shadow, an eye shadow primer is a must. If you don't use one, by lunch time you will be wondering what happened to the shadow you swear you put on that morning. A shadow primer is designed to correct darkness and discoloration of the eyelid, instantly creating a more vibrant, bright-eyed look, while locking shadow in place for crease-proof, all-day wear. My two favorites are MAC's Paint Pot, color painterly, and Trish McEvoy's Eye Base Essential, color bare.
Keep your hair outta there!
I'm always looking for products which make everyday life easier, and I have just found one that will make brushing your teeth and washing your face so much easier! The Tassi hair band will keep your hair out of the way without ruining your blowout. Clips - crimp, bands - bend, and pins - pinch, Tassi is the best way to hold your hair back without ruining your locks! Pick one up for all the girls in your life at Glamour Beauty in Ridgewood or Glamour Too in Waldwick.
