Revamp Your Summer Look For Autumn!


Summer has officially ended and we welcomed autumn wholeheartedly. While nature during the season of autumn is absolutely gorgeous and you might really enjoy the cooler weather, this is also the period when your skin might start to act out. What’s more, you probably don’t need to use full on autumn clothes just yet. This transition can be really cumbersome but with a few tricks, you can relax, and enjoy this colorful time of year to the fullest.

Minimize Exfoliation:

Exfoliating your skin is absolutely essential throughout the year, but during summer months you might have gotten used to exfoliating daily, or every second day, depending on your skin type and, of course, due to very warm weather. Bring your exfoliation regime into the fall, but since the weather is a bit colder, you probably don’t need to exfoliate as often as you did during summer. Twice a week works for most people. If you think that you need to exfoliate more than that, switch to a gentler scrub because you can still dry out your skin.

Maximize Hydration:

Again, hydrating your skin is a must all year round, regardless of what skin type you have. But, most people use gel creams and lighter consistency moisturizers during the summer, which simply won’t cut it in the autumn. Once the autumn is here forget about the gels. You need hydrating creams and generally products of richer texture. You might not like to use these during the day, but make sure to apply a generous amount of rich hydrating product to your face before you go to sleep. 


Keep Drinking Water:
This is truly a strange phenomenon, but most people really start neglecting their water intake once the summer’s over. Even though it’s colder and you might not engage in many physical activities under the sun, your skin and body still need water for looking and feeling good and healthy. Therefore, remember to keep drinking water in the same manner you did during the summer. Water is not a seasonal beauty trick, but essential health and beauty step all year, every year, forever.

Switch The Colors:
In all honesty, there’s no rule that explicitly tells you that you can’t use makeup colors that you used during the summer, but autumn opens up a lot of new possibilities for those who like to stay on trend. In that respect, warmer and sultry eye shadow colors as well as darker bold lips are all the rage in this period. What’s more, there is a high possibility that your summer foundation won’t work for you during autumn, so if your face doesn’t look the way you wanted, it might have to do with a foundation that is too mattifying.


Wardrobe Organization:
It’s clear that you’d want to get to the task of organizing your wardrobe for the new season as soon as possible, but if the weather is still far from cold enough for jumper dresses, sweaters, coats and similar, some of your summery clothing bits and pieces can still prove useful and practical. Basic tops can be used for layering and evening dresses for important occasions with jacket or cardigan on top. If you’re set on organizing your wardrobe as soon as possible, make sure to separate clothes that are versatile and keep them in your reach.

When seasonal transitions take place, it’s important that you have good knowledge of how your skin reacts and what it needs to stay healthy and radiant. Most people know what suits them for extreme and specific seasonal conditions, but period “in between” can be slightly problematic. So, don’t ditch your previous regimes and styles quickly, but simply change it up a little.

Trend Report for Fall 2015!!


Hello Beautiful!

Fall is finally in swing in my country, with cool dry breeze, chapped lips, hot chocolate and leaves ready to carpet the grounds. After being hooked to the Fall Fashion Runways and the Street Style I have finally gathered the top trends of this Fall 2015! Many styles and trends have made a comeback this Fall and the fashion magazines and online websites are full of them, but I have short-listed the trends that I see are gonna be big this Fall! So let's just dive right into it!


Culottes:

The Culottes have arrived and they are definitely here to stay. Culottes were spotted in many collections show cased in the New York Fashion Week and the street fashion came up with some of the most amazing culottes outfits. With the voluminous bottom and flattering hemline they sure will be a versatile item in your Fall Wardrobe. They were showcased by Delpozo, Boss, Narciso Rodriguez, Vera Wang and Rosie Assoulin. Here are some ways to style culottes. They look exceptionally well with crop tops and a blazer!





Fringe:

Fringes are no doubt one of the biggest Fall Trend for this season! From fringes-boots to fringed accessories, they can be seen almost in all the trend reports I have seen and read about. Also they were seen in a lot of collections on the runways for Fall such as Ralph Lauren, Marchesa, Prabal Gurung, Proenza Schouler and Saint Laurent.





Bohemian Vibe:

We could see a lot of boho chic style throughout the New York Fashion Week Fall 2015. The vintage-inspired and free spirited look made it’s way to the Fall runways this season with bold colors, big knits, mismatched prints and layered pieces including turtle necks, pleated dresses and skirts, maxi skirts, ponchos, blazers, leather jackets and a variety of accessories. Every look is made of natural fabrics including silk, suede, leather, denim, cotton, velvet, linen, fur etc. Roberto Cavalli, Kenzo, Matthew Williamson, Zero Maria Cornejo and Suno all had a bohemian vibe!






Suede:

Suede is no wonder everyone’s favorite fabric this season with so many designers incorporating suede in their collection. It’s that one trend that you can wear in multiple ways. It can be worn as the main piece in your outfit, or amp up a simple attire with a chic suede jacket. A suede skirt definitely looks sexy! You can also carry suede as a bag or those chic ankle boots! Suede was showcased by Chanel, Michael Kors, Chloe and Zimmermann.






Turtle Necks:

Definitely my all time favorite! Turtle necks can be so classy and casual at the same time. It’s like a neutral piece of clothing that can be dressed up and dressed down. It sure is a classic staple for your Fall/Winter wardrobe! It can be layered with a jacket or scarf for a casual look or styled with a tailored blazer and long statement necklaces for a classy and sophisticated look. Turtle-necks were spotted in Boss, Delpozo,  Narciso Rodriguez, Oscar De La Renta, Rag & Bone collections.







High-Waist Bottoms:

Whether it’s a wide-legged, boot-cut or skinnys, high-waists are back! From New York Fashion Week to Paris Fashion Week, high-waists were showcased by many designers and I’m sure this sleek style is going to be one popular trend this season! It looks so chic paired with a crop top or a slim fitted tank top tucked in. High- Waists were seen in Marc by Marc Jacobs, Rosie Assoulin, Isabel Marent, Louis Vuitton and Carven collections.






These trends are not only going to be big this Fall but also very easy to style from a casual look to a classy statement.
Let me know which trend you absolutely love this Fall? I'll be posting different looks and outfits according to these trends so make sure you're following me on all my social medias for tips and styles to incorporate these trends in your outfits. Don't forget to share your favorite trends with me!

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

Lipsticks for Fall 2015

Hello beautiful!

Although it's hot outside where I live but I have been reading a lot of Fall related posts recently. So I decided to look up lipsticks perfect for this Fall/Autumn. After searching and researching, looking at swatches, reviews and comparing them I settled on these five lipstick I feel are perfect for Fall this year specially keeping in mind the Pantone Color of the Year 2015 "Marsala". Fall, I feel, is the perfect time to incorporate Marsala in our beauty and wardrobe. 

So let me just share the Lipsticks I feel are perfect for this Fall and definitely a nice way to get me out of my comfort zone of nudes and corals.


1. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Glam Plum Fulham:
          Glam Plum Fulham is such a pretty berry color that suits all skin tones and look incredibly beautiful specially in Autumn. I feel a good berry lipstick is a staple for Fall and Rimmel Glam Plum Fulham is exactly that.

2. YSL Rouge Volupte Shine - Fuchsia In Grunge No. 35: 
          Looks like a dirty plum in the bullet but YSL Fuchsia In Grunge is more of a mavey pink with plum undertones. Rouge Volupte Shine is always a treat for the lips - so smooth and hydrating! Perfect for Fall when our lips tend to dry. Like all the Rouge Volupte Shine lipsticks, it has a glossy finish and is sheer on the first application. This one in particular also has very subtle sparkle that doesn't look chunky or patchy at all, they aren't very noticeable anyway. The perfect for Fall for its plum undertones and perfect for people who like to keep it nice and subtle in Fall or don't want a very in-your-face plum color.

3. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick - Bond Girl :
          I always try to say the names of Charlotte Tilbury's products in her accent; her accent is beautiful! This lipstick is a beautiful warm toned berry color with brown undertones and has a semi-matte finish but very comfortable on the lips. Appears a dark brownish berry on fair skinned gals but a very pretty nude berry color on dark skinned beauties! If you're ready to splurge then Charlotte Tilbury's Bond Girl is the way to go for this Fall! It's a treat for Autumn, the Marsala theme and your lips.

4. Colour Pop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick - Avenue :
          Colour Pop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks are all the rage right now! They set down to a super matte finish and are very pigmented - all that with a very small price tag! They've been a hit as soon as they came out. Out of all the shades (which they have a lot of, even blues and greens) I found Avenue to be perfect for this Fall and the Marsala theme. It's an almost muted medium-dark burgundy with cool undertones, although it is described as a "deep yellow red". It'll look beautiful in the Fall for it's pretty burgundy color.

5. Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Mattes - Divine Wine :
          Maybelline is one of my favourite brand for lipsticks, they have the best formula for lipsticks in my opinion. Their creamy mattes are well, creamy mattes. Their matte but not super matte, more like a satin finish and are creamy and comfortable on the lips.
Divine Wine is a deep dark burgundy with warm reddish-brown undertones -perfect for Fall and the Marsala theme. It's the perfect Burgundy for this Fall without being vampy. This with thick voluminous lashes and deep-peachy cheeks and you're good to go - fresh and perfect for the Autumn!
