Fashion Forward Fall Trends!

It's right around the corner... cozy sweaters, pumpkin spiced lattes, cinnamon brooms, stylish scarves, fall time!!! I personally love this time of year and can't get enough of it! Just the other day, I made sure to buy two new scarves and a cute new winter hat; oh and some new boots ;) I've taken the time to compile some of this years fall trends that I must share with everyone! Grab your fall latte and let's get to it!

  1. Stained Lips: At first this scared me since I have dried out lips, so adding a stain would just dry my lips out more. If you apply a lip balm before the stain, it will help tremendously. The matte color will stay and your pout will be fall ready! Don't apply the balm on top of the stain or it'll just take away the color.
  2. Va Va Voom Hair: Ladies, our hair loves the fall weather! Don't waste time flat ironing it! Add some volumizing spray to your towel dried hair and blow dry for a tousled look. Embrace the waves and lion hair we've all been blessed with!
  3. Copper, Copper, Copper: Big hue coming into play this fall, doesn't matter if it's on your eyes, lips or cheeks. Copper will be a big trend on the scene! This color flatters every skin tone and it's such an easy color to track down!
  4. Mixed Up Mani: manicure trends are always on the edge of coming out with something new and edgier. Try mixing up some fall colors together; maybe have the ring finger a light fall color and the other four to be a dark fall color.
  5. Bright Shades: Step out of your comfort zone and try some daring matte shades this fall. I just bought the new Stila 'In the Know' palette and it's perfect for fall with fiery tones and matching neutrals. A few other neat shades to try is an electric purple or a deep green!
  6. Messy Buns: The messy bun is a staple in fashion. This fall rock a low messy bun with your hair parted to the side and loose front pieces. Remember, bobby pins are our friends!
  7. Accessorize Your Hair: Spice up the hair with some cute headbands or jeweled embellished hairpins. These items can transform any simple pony tail into something much more than ordinary.
  8. Creme Blushes: These blushes give you an intense color for the cheeks which is perfect for the looks this fall. Use this on top of your foundation and bronzer.
  9. Gel Eyeliner: I am in love with gel eyeliner, where has it been all these years?! It's very simple to apply on and leaves the eyes with a intense smudge eye look.  
  10. Minimal Makeup: As much as it's fun to play around with fun Fall makeup colors, there was just as much "minimalist makeup" and bare faced beauties on the Fall runways. Try a little bit of blush, flesh tone eye shadows, layer of mascara, and a pink pouty lipgloss. Perfect for a bare face look.
Now go on and embrace fall! I just bought some new boots, leggings, and scarves! They'll make their appearances on Instagram soon ;)
