In & Out Post: Fall Addition

IN

1. Gray Nail Polish Colors

I am absolutely in love with Essie's Chinchilly polish from the Cuddle with Color Fall 2009 Collection. I know I'm a little late loving this shade, but it's absolutely divine. Gray is definitely the new nail neutral and can't keep myself from wanting to reapply! Good thing I don't have to very often; this Essie polish lasts for days without chipping!

2. Cyber Monday

This is my holy grail! Forget Black Friday - Cyber Monday is where it's at! No lines, no people, just me and my merchandise! Lots of places are promoting free shipping too! Use sites like CyberMonday.com and RetailMeNot.com to find the best deals.  And just in case you do have to wake up at an ungodly hour in order to claim your prize online, don't worry! No freezing temps, no smittens or scarves - just you and your computer -- preferably before your boss walks in the door!

3. Target Slippers that are $83.01cheaper that UGG Slippers but look just as good!

Both are extremely comfortable, both you can wear outdoors, both come in a multiple of colors, and both are super cute! But one you can buy 5 pairs of for $100 dollars!

I've been in love with these Target slippers for probably four winters now. I've had them in tan, brown, black, and even gray! I absolutely love them and I don't feel bad when I toss them at the end of the season. I don't think my UGG pair would get much mileage at all, I'd be afraid to muss them up!

OUT

1. Really Puffy-Really Long-Down Jackets

I've seen too many sensible women - fashionable women - sporting these hideous coats. I understand your desire to be warm. But honestly, these so ugly I cannot handle it. What does it matter if you're rockin' some Jimmy Choo heels or a great scarf? When you're rockin' this f'ugly garment it doesn't matter.I know you want to keep your bum all warm, but seriously at the sake of looking appalling please don't! I know that there are super chic long down jackets, but my feeling is unless you're a tall lanky lil ol' thing the lack of shape in the coat really just makes you look like a blob (let me tell you from my own experience!) - a toasty blob, but a blob. Stick with a cropped down jacket - same warmth, less embarrassment.

2. Bath & Body Products as Gifts

I know some of you may be shocked to see this on here, but I know a lot of you aren't. I love giving and receiving presents for the holidays, however I am just SO OVER bath and body gift baskets. Okay, sure maybe I'll use the body wash or the body lotion, but I'm not going to use the 500 other things that come in the basket. I usually don't totally enjoy super fragrant things and these baskets usually stink to high heaven! Now, I'm definitely not a grinch, but I can't even pawn these gifts off to friends. Who wants to smell like an apple cinnamon pumpkin strudel?  Not I! (I do love the loofas they come with though!

And that's it! My little list of all the Ins & Outs this Fall! These are fun to do, so if you liked reading this leave me a comment and I'll make sure to write these more often!

*Win* A Smashbox Instant Eyes: Liner & Shadow Palette

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're all enjoying fall so far! I'm so excited for Halloween tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll be in the mood to dress up. It's a lot of work! I created the above look to put me in that festive fall spirit, but not look like a clown -- literally.

I start off with (some really curly hair! find out in the video how I achieved that style!) Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 30, Fair to Light Tint. I love this moisturizer for two reasons 1. Aveeno is an amazing brand and perfect for sensitive skin like mine 2. the subtle tint gives me some extra coverage, perfect for a night out. After, I apply Revlon ColorStay Mineral Mousse Makeup with the warmth of my fingers. I love the light weight consistency and how soft my face feels after the foundation is applied. I set both products with Revlon PhotoReady Powder.

I then layer on some Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, Original on my lid and underneath my eyes. Applying it underneath my eyes helps the concealer last longer. I use Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Set underneath my eyes, along my nose to conceal redness, and around my mouth to even out my skin tone.

For my entire lids I use the Smashbox Instant Eyes: Liner & Shadow Palette *THAT YOU CAN WIN* by entering in the comments in the video above OR writing "enter me" in the comments below here on my blog. I go into pretty good detail within the video, so I won't make you hear that again - HOWEVER, there are THREE CREAM SHADOWS that slide out from the palette that I didn't use in the tutorial - so know that you would WIN FOUR SHADOWS and THREE CREAM SHADOWS.

Use a brown eyeliner to line my water line and use Maybelline The Falsies Volum'Express Mascara. On my cheeks I add NARS Powder Blush Cheek Color, Deep Throat, it's the absolute perfect shade for fall. For my lips I use Stila's Paint Your Pout Red - The Talking Palette. This palette comes with three shades, one conditioner, and a brush. I first apply the lip conditioner, then line my lips with the Cool Red, the deepest red, and then fill in. To make your lips more sharp use your concealer brush and add concealer around you lips. This will really make your mouth pout! To the center of my lips I add a touch of MAC's Bare Necessity - AND THAT'S IT! Simple enough, right?

Here are the products for you to view, use the links above if you want to check out prices/etc. I tried to get you the best prices for all the products through Amazon. If you'd like to buy the product or check out the product from the manufacturer, please do! There will probably be more specifications on their respective sites.

And that's it!

Top Favorite Friday: Fall Must-Haves -- Splurge vs. Steal

Hi Everyone!

So, you know how I'm always searching for the great deal, a fabulous sale, the best for less? Well this blog post will be no different; except for the fact that I'll first share with you what I'm lusting over, before telling you about the great deal alternative.

This Must-Have began a few weeks ago as I was searching for a nude pump, sans the platform under the toes. On the left here are the Christian Louboutin Royal Blue Suede 'Madame Claude' d'orsay beauties that caught my eye. I love the idea of mixing the opulent earth tones of fall with a pop of color, like a rich cobalt blue. These babies are actually on sale for under $640! And even though I know that's a fabulous deal (and I saw my MTV idol Lauren Conrad sporting something similar), I can't spend almost $700 on blue suede pumps (or the YSL "Palais" platform version also for $700).

When I can't justify spending a large sum of money by promising myself that I'll wear it at least once a week, I refuse to let myself shell out the dough. I force myself to hold back my urge to splurge and instead chanel (spelling mistake and I'm keeping it!) my efforts towards the hunt. I began to Google myself silly (that sounds naughty, doesn't it?) in order to find an almost as exquisite pair. Within a half hour I spotted Luichiny's Cindy Lou Blue Suede heels. Although they are a bit different in toe shape and platform, I really like the Luichiny version. They still offer the the beautiful rich blue color that I'm completely in love with and a considerable heel, but without the hefty price tag. I no longer have to choose between paying my bills and buying Christian Louboutin shoes! Now I'm sure lots of girls would pick shoes over heat, but it's starting to become sweather* here in NY and I need to keep warm! (*sweater = sweater weather)

I love seeing masculine rich clothes for fall (think military trend) mixed with delicate super-fem necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings. I've always been in love with retro inspired "cluster of pearls"  rings. A few weeks ago while shopping on Overstock.com looking for a new coffee table, I just happened to wander over to the jewelry section and casually fell in hardcore lust with this ring (above left). It's a 14k Gold Freshwater Pearl Estate Cluster Ring marked on the site for just under $555. Yes it's beautiful, yes I really love it, yes I'll wear it all the freaking time...but I also need to pay student loans, put gas in my car, and maybe just maybe eat something other than Ramen Noodles for the rest of 2010.


After realizing that $555 was just not in the budget I decided to check out some of my favorite online haunts. And lo and behold, Piperlime.com had something quite similar. Now of course, it is not as gorgeous or exceptional as the estate ring, but I think it will do the trick. It's the Hive and Honey Pearl Cluster Ring and it's only $22! For that price I could buy two or three! (But I won't, don't worry) Piperlime often has great deals on the trends of the season. As long as this little jewel doesn't turn my finger green, I'm sold! I'll have to keep you all updated!

As you can tell I'm drawn to statement pieces thus far on this list. Therefore, it's no surprise that while pursuing through Fall 2010 trends, I spotted and fell in love, with this Bolingo Bag accessorized in Red Napa leather and crocodile with Gold hardware. I'm sorry PETA, I have sinned. This bucket style handbag retails for $655 and you can totally tell why. The crisp detail, the lush color, and the versatility of the style and shape drew me in, however the almost $700 price tag kept me at bay.

It wasn't long before, I found this gem (above right) on Nordstrom.com. To your right is the Elliott Lucca 'Cordoba - Large' Convertible Tote that retails for just under $200 (but I'm sure with coupons or a great sale could bring down that price). It comes in five colors, if red is not your thing. I love the hardware detail, the rich red color, and the price tag. Now I know some of you may think that $200 is a steep price tag, but if you carry it for only 8 weeks or 56 days it only costs you $3.60 a day to walk around with a fabulous bag! See, how a shop-o-holic does math? I definitely think you should consider what a red bag may do to dress up your wardrobe or even what it may do to your fall/winter attitude!

The transition into fall and then into winter is something most of us dread. Goodbye to the warm summer nights and hello to 6pm pitch black evenings. As we New Yorkers begin to make this necessary transition most of us like to do it in style.

Hence, the big jacket trend of fall 2010, the Aviator Jacket. This one on your left is Vince's Shearling Aviator Jacket that retails for $1,450.00! It's absolutely gorgeous, right? Which do you love more? The dark brown naplan spray dyed lamb (from Turkey!) pieces with light brown trim, the over sized spread collar, two-way front zip, or the the tonal bands create sections on shoulders and back? Perhaps the long sleeves with belted cuffs and chest zip pockets and front patch pockets with welt openings is more your thing. Either way this coat is too beautiful. I have a feeling it would probably be wearing me more than I would be wearing it. And since it costs more than I pay in rent, it's probably not something I should purchase.

Instead, I plan to purchase this jacket for much much less! This ASOS Leather Aviator Jacket  (above right) retails for $185. Much more affordable, right? I actually like the lighter leather color and the fact that the cuffs of the sleeves are not lined. Unfortunately I live in a pretty dirty city and those beautifully lined cuffs above would get quite messy in NYC. This a definitely a staple piece, therefore it's something I would feel comfortably wearing every fall here and there. I love that you can dress it down with jeans and t-shirt or dress it up with a really fun fall dress. It's extremely versatile and probably warm. Go figure! Something fashionable AND warm! That concept gets me every time!  Consider playing up a fall trend like this one because of it's longevity. Unlike some other trends that have a difficult go at standing the test of time (think dark roots & blonde hair, acid wash jeans, or giant shoulder pads), this jacket will still be chic during the years to come! 

I do love fall and winter a bit more when it comes to makeup. I think you have a lot more choices in the colder months than in the warmer; plus the makeup isn't going to melt off your face. I really wanted to try Beauty In A Box Purple Smoky Eyes Tutorial from Sephora (left). This set retails for $36 and included are four eye shadows, a mini black liner, a mini black mascara, and a double ended applicator. I don't know about you, but I don't know how many "mini" versions of things a gal needs! I know the mini's are good for your purse and travel, but more often than not I just lose them to the great makeup beyond. Then it really turns out to be just four shades for $36, which isn't a terrible deal; but I found a better one!

Instead I opted to try NYX's Cosmetics Purple Smoky Look Kit Eye Shadow Lip Color Palette for under $10! Here you get nine shades of eye shadows, two lip colors that complement your smoky purple look, and two applicator brushes. That to me seems like a much better deal. Nine times out of ten you're able to get a very similar look using much more affordable products and I really love NYX as a brand.

So there you have it ...my Top Five Favorite Fall Must-Haves: Splurge vs Steal!

What are yours?

Recreate Three Fall 2010 Hair Trends With ONLY A Few Must-Haves!

Fall 2010 is buzzing with a variety of trends and styles that can work with all hair types and lifestyles. To me, the best part about these hairstyles are their simplicity. With under ten items, most of which you already have at home, you can achieve these three easy chic looks.

Must-Haves:

1. Blow Dryer

• Any type will really do, however if you're not going to use it often I suggest sticking with a tried and true brand at an affordable price. Test out Bedhead's Ionic Pink Hair Dryer for $29.99! It has a five star rating on Ulta.com and promises to "fight the frizz and give massive shine to your hair."

2.  Small/ 1" Curling Iron

• There are a ton of varieties and brands to choose from. If you don't already own a curling iron with a relatively small barrel, I suggest trying out Conair's Satin Smooth 1" Curling Iron for $17.99. This is a ceramic/non stick curling iron that will keep your hair smooth. It also heats up in 30 seconds; a definite plus for the girl on the go.

3.  Volume Styling Mousse

• Most girls with fine hair already have a few bottles of these stashed away. Even if you do have full bodied hair, a volume mousse will streamline your already luscious locks. I really like TRESemme 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse for $4.74. This light weight formula packs a huge punch! It also helps to give your hair that much needed lift, but without leaving your tresses at all greasy.

4. Heat Protection Spray

• It's so important to be kind to your hair, and adding heat is not so kind. However, you can avoid most major damage by first using a heat protection spray. There are a lot of different kinds out there to choose from. I've been loving Pantene Fine Hair Heat Protection & Shine Spray for $7.15. I really like using this because it is tailored to my hair type. They have a few different choices, so that you too can purchase the correct heat spray for your hair type.

5.  Hairspray

• Most great hair styles end with a bit of it, so I'm sure no one is shocked that it has made my list. Some people shy away from hairsprays because they feel that the spray makes their hair too hard, and it looks more like a helmet than a "moving piece of art" (I heard that line somewhere to describe fabulous hair). Dove's Extra Hold Hairspray for $4.62 may change your mind. This formula keeps my hair extremely soft and bouncy, while helping me to maintain the style that I'm going for.

6/7. Bobby-Pins & Ponytail Holders

• At the very least I'm sure you have these two items lying around your bathroom. Any brand will do, however try to stick with ponytail holders that do not have a metal band. This band will tug and damage/rip your hair. If you're looking for a new brand, try out Scunci No Damage Elastics for $3.69; they are affordable and comfortable.

If you have none of these items (of which I totally doubt! C'mon, bobby-pins?!) and decide to go with my recommendations, you could create the three styles that I outline below AND so many others for UNDER $70! And I'm sure with coupons and a few sales, you could easily lower that price!

Onto the Fall 2010 Hairstyle Trends...

From Fendi to Dior to Nina Ricci designers are showing retro motifs. One of the many styles was inspired by stylist Conrad Dornan and his team at the Dior fall show. To the right is the runway variety of the style, however you can tone this down and simplify for everyday styling. These 30's inspired waves can be easily copied with just a few tools.

• Begin sectioning your hair and applying the mousse. You want your hair a bit dirty, so that it'll better hold the curls. 
• First, use a heat protection spray.
• Use a small curling iron and begin making tighter curls at the bottom and then gradually looser curls as you work your way up. The tight curls on the bottom will support the looser curls around your crown.
• Once finished....brush. I know this seems terrifying and I wouldn't recommend using an actual hair brush. Use your fingers to "brush" out the curls.
• Tease your hair a bit to create extra volume if you so wish and use bobby-pins if necessary.

The second look that caught my eye, that I know you gals will love, is the Simple Sexy Ponytail! It's an updated version of that 50's feel!

• Use a heat protectant and volumizing mousse to first give your hair a great blow out.
• Use hairspray to tame down any fly-aways and begin to brush your hair back. The hairspray will also add a nice shine to your hair.
• Begin gathering your hair into the ponytail right below the crown. If you'd like, tease a portion of crown for added height and then secure it with a ponytail holder.
• Take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the holder. This will recreate a polished look.

And the last of my three favorites is the simple 70's straight and chic. This look creates bounce, sophistication, and can be worn for a variety of occasions.

• After you've added volumizing mousse and heat protectant, begin blow drying your hair with your head flipped over.
• Once your hair is almost dry, use a large roll brush (or even a paddle brush) and concentrate on your crown by breaking it up into five sections.
• Sparingly use some hair spray to tame fly-aways and add a little extra shine.

You should be left with an easy straight style full of bounce. You may need to run a straightening iron through your hair (not the crown of course), if you have extremely curly hair. However, I think this look would look just as beautiful with a bit of curl. I'm not one to go with the center part, but this fall I'm going to try!


And there you have it! What to buy and how to create Three Easy Retro-Inspired Fall 2010 Hair Trends!

Have fun!

Recreate Makeup Trends for Fall 2010

 I often find it funny that we know trends for seasons that are months away. How can "they" know?!?! How can magazine editors, fashion designers, and makeup artists know?!?! It's a phenomenon...well not really, but I like to sometimes think it is. I like to believe that there is some magic and mystery that happens at the top of the beauty and fashion industry. Remember that famous quote by Ms. Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada?

"'This... stuff (talking about the racks and racks of clothes)'? Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select... I don't know... that lumpy blue sweater, for instance because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent... wasn't it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff. The organic nature in the way that trends are thought up, recycled, and reinterpreted. "

If that's not magic, I'm not sure what is! So therefore now that Fall is actually upon us I've had plenty of time to peruse the Fall 2010 trends! I want to share with you not only some of my favorites, but how they can be reinterpreted for us everyday girls on an everyday budget.

1. The Cat Eye & Nude Lip

This look was seen on the Bluemarine models in Milan's Fashion Week. The makeup concept was created by Charlotte Tibury, lead makeup artist for MAC. I love this bold look. I love how the eyes are lined a little heavy on both the top and bottom lid and that the liner is then winged up almost to the brow. This look may be a little too harsh for the everyday girl, so I've thought of a simple way you can soften up this look without killing your budget. Start off by using an oil free foundation, check out Tarte's Peaches & Cream foundation, and create a flawless matte finish. 

This trends focus in on the dark eye, but I would go ahead and do your brows as you normally would. If you choose to try out the muted brow though, it can sometimes look a little too severe for everyday. Using an eye primer, like Benefit Cosmetics' Stay Don't Stray, pat the product on your upper lid and underneath your bottom lash line. The warmth of your figures will work the product onto your lid. I don't really like the cat eye on a bare lid, because again the look can turn out a stronger than you might like to going out with friends or hitting the mall. 

Try using a cream eyeshadow in a light shade, think Maybelline's Eye Studio Cream shadow trio in Natural Liaison for $5.49. I really love the middle brown/bronze shade. It's a drop more pigmented than your natural eye lid color, but still gives the cat eye center stage. As for the show stopper, use a liquid eyeliner on the top of your lid, think Maybelline Stiletto Liquid Liner - Blackest Black for under $6.00. It's actually one of my August Favorites, so I really do recommend it. Use a business card as a guideline, so that the winged out eye is straight and on an angle you really like. As for the bottom lashes start with L'oreal Pencil Perfect Eyeliner in Carbon Black for $1.99 and line your water line. Then using the pencil begin to define your bottom lash line and lightly begin to fill in and match it to the liquid lined wing from your top lashes. Then using the liquid liner darken the pencil line and fill in any spots. The liquid liner is absolutely fine under your bottom lashes, however make sure for your water line that you use a pencil. It's not fun getting liquid eyeliner in your eye, trust me! Curl and add your favorite black mascara to your lashes. Try L'Oreal Volume Shocking Mascara in blackest Blackest Black for $8.99.

The cheeks here are contoured, another trend of the season, right underneath the cheek bones to help facilitate this strong look. To soften this look use a light blush that just warms up the apples of your cheeks just a tad, I really love Orgasm by NARS for this affect. As for the lip, go NUDE! Test out Revlon's Nude Attitude Matte Lipstick for $6.90. You can wear it as is or add just a clear gloss to soften the look a bit. This is a fabulous this look for day or night! It's really versatile and clean. I'm really excited to see it a lot this fall!


Total Cost of the essentials to this look (lipstick, eyeliner, liquid eyeliner, and mascara): Under $30!

2. All Natural
Not many of us would dream to walk out of the house without makeup on and this is certainly not what this trend is suggesting. Rather instead, it's implying that

less is in fact more. This trend is carrying over from the spring and summer and I'm happy to see it. There is a variety of ways you can achieve this look. You can start off by only using foundation to cover any discoloration or blemishes; or use a light tinted moisturizer all over your face to moisturize, but to also even out your skin tone. For example Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer Tinted Moisturizer for $11.49. This gives your face a bit of coverage without being heavy at all. I also like to add concealer, but this is personal preference. I'm really loving the Sonia Kashuk® Hidden Agenda Concealer Set for $9.99, but that's totally an option and not necessary to complete the look.

Next our eyes! The nude lid is very big when it comes to this look. I like to use an eye primer on my lid and that's it sometimes. However, if you'd like to add a little color try playing with shades from the Urban Decay
 Naked Palette, shown above, for a little over $40. Definitely an investment, but it really does have all the colors you'd ever really want for a soft look. If that's a little too steep, try Maybelline Expert Wear Quads in Sunlit Bronze for $4.94.  I love Maybelline quads because if you flip them over they tell you exactly how to put the colors on to achieve the look that you're going for. I really like the subtly of these shades. Make sure you use the lightest color of this quad or a highlight shade to place in the inner corners of your eyes. This not only opens up your eyes, but makes them look super refreshed. For most people achieving this look they'd skip on the eyeliner and I sometimes do too, but if you want to add a pop a color now would be the perfect time. Line your water line with a jewel tone, possibly an emerald green like Almay's intense i-color Eyeliner in Bring Out the Green for under $5.00. However, that's just an option. For mascara, it isn't about building a faux lash with a volumizing mascara; this entire look is based upon enhancing your natural beauty. I instead go for a lengthening mascara. Try Maybelline Lash Expansion Mascara for $6.99. For your cheeks use a light weight blush. Lately I've been enjoying the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Blush for $.699 (above). You can easily apply this with your fingers to achieve a subtle glow, for that perfect for the au naturale look. Try it in the shade Peach Satin. As for your lips, you have so many options. You can bite them a few times for some extra added color, eat a cherry lollipop, or leave them alone (haha). But if you want to add a product, first try and see how you like a tinted moisturizing lip balm. I think everyone loves Softlips, but not everyone knows they have a few tinted shades. Try out Softlips Tinted Lip Protectant  in Tickled Pink for under $4.00. Or if you're like me and more of a lipstick gal, test a CoverGirl's Continuous color lipstick out, especially in Smokey Rose for $3.99. I love how it pops just a little while staying true to this trend. This trend is absolutely perfect for an everyday routine. You have to just tailor it to your preferences. Check out these suggestions next time you're at your local drugstore, I promise I won't let you down!

Total Cost of the essentials to this look (foundation, eye quad, mascara, blush, and lip color): UNDER $30!

3. Gold Eyeshadow & Coral Lip

T

This was first seen done by Bobbi Brown and now it's become really popular. Gold tones work with all eye colors and there is a lot of ways in which you can really simply recreate this look. I always love a gold smokey eye! What girl doesn't it? It's incredibly sexy and wearable. Start off with a matte foundation and conceal under your eyes, along your mouth, and around your nose. Make sure you add a primer to your lids, as gold colors can sometimes not be as vibrant as the day wears on. If you're looking to splurge on an eye primer, test out Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion for $18.00. If that's out of your price range, you need not worry. You can easily use concealers as eye primers, despite what some may tell you! At least I do and I find it works fine. Try only these three shades by MAC to achieve this look, each 14.50.

First I love to start off with Honey Lust on the inner first half of my lid. On the second half use Amber Lights and blend, blend, blend! Using Mythology I work the product into my crease and blend into my outer corner. I then apply black eyeliner and use Amber Lights along my lower lashes. Using Honey Lust I highlight my brow bone and the inner corners of my eyes. There are many different ways to achieve a gold look. These are just my absolute three favorite shades to getting my eyes wear I want them. Add a volumizing mascara like Max Factor Volume Couture Mascara for $9.99 and you're good to go! The cheeks here are really subtle, I'd go with one of the Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in a subtle pinky shade. As for the lips, I like my coral lips to have more of a pop than shown above. So I'd go with Lola's Cherie Amore from my August Favorites. This trend is super fun to put together and a lot easier than one might think!

Total Cost of the essentials to this look: UNDER $60! *Look around your favorite drugstore though, you can probably find gold tones that will do this look justice. 


So there you have it, my favorite must-copy Fall 2010 trends!

I hope you try them out and let me know what you think or how you're doing them!
