Lips for Fall.

As I've mentioned before in my Passion Flower Sneak Peak post, Aveda has a new 2012 Fall/Winter makeup collection out called Passion Flower. It has three new lipstick shades called Wild Fuchsia, Rare Orchid and Snap Dragon. I've used myself and the lovely Jessica as models to show you what these colors look like on.

All Aveda lipsticks go on smooth and hydrate lips all day, each has an organic vanilla and spearmint aroma, increases moisture and smooths lines up to 26% and 75% of women noticed fuller lips after 2 weeks of use.

in order of appearance: Tarragona Lip Pencil - Snap Dragon Lip Color - Wild Fuchsia Lip Color - Rare Orchid Lip Color

1. Start by hydrating lips with Nourish-Mint Renewing Lip Treatment for smoother lips and better application of color.

2. Outline and fill lips with either Foxglove, Tarragona or Nourish-Mint Lip Definer. This prevents feathering and makes lip color last longer. I used Tarragona under Snap Dragon, Foxglove under Wild Fuchsia and the Lip Definer under Rare Orchid.

3. Fill lips with chosen color, make sure to pay extra close attention to areas like the cupids bow and corners of the mouth.

fashion trend: leather

Faux leather is a fun textile to play with, wether you wear lather pants or just accent with leather earrings or a belt it will add a different look to your outfit. Leather can be really easy to incorporate into any outfit and adds texture to an otherwise simple look. Some of my favorite leather pieces include:

1. Leather Skirt - gojane.com

2. Hi-Low Dress with Leather Accents - modcloth.com

3. Leather Look Skinny Jeans - hm.com

4. High Waisted Leather Shorts - hm.com

5. Leather Bowtie - forever21.com

fashion trend: BOOTS

I think it's officially Fall now, the trees are changing colors, the mornings are a bit chilly and all my favorite coffee shops have finally busted out the pumpkin spice flavor(yum)! So what does this all mean? Boots! It's time to trade in your cute sandals and espadrilles for boots, I'm the kind of girl who wears boots all throughout summer too so now I'm super excited that it's official boot weather. Here are some of my favorite styles as of late.

fall fashion: peplum

Peplum silhouettes are popping up all over the Fall fashion runways and many different celebrities have been seen rocking the peplum look as of late. In case you didn't know peplum refers to a piece with a ruffle around the waist which adds volume, while also creating a flattering hourglass shape.

There are a few stand by rules for wearing peplum pieces, since peplum pieces have so much volume you don't want to accentuate the wrong areas. When wearing anything with a peplum silhouette pair it with pieces that are sleek and streamline, such as skinny jeans, pencil skirts, tailored shorts or fitted tops. Try adding a thin waist belt to exentuate the hour glass shape even more on almost any peplum piece.

Some of my favorite celebs rocking the peplum trend.
