Fall dresses are my favorite, especially the burgundy ones. This one is pretty warm but it’s sleeveless so it’s perfect for pairing up with a cardigan on a cool Fall day. This particular color is sold out and I believe you can still get the same dress in grey, but there are so many burgundy dresses similar to this one, that you can easily recreate this look with any other burgundy dress.

I’m wearing this dress with a burgundy asymmetrical and very lightweight cardigan that I purchased last year but any other cardigan will do as well. My shoes are still sandals because it’s not that cold outside yet.

For accessories, I opted for a pair of burgundy stud earrings (for $5!) and a burgundy bracelet (now 50 % off), so yes, it’s a very burgundy look.

Softspun Dolman Tunic – Two Fall Outfit Ideas

Is it just me or has pink become a very popular color lately. This beautiful Softspun Dolman Tunic comes in several colors, including my beloved burgundy.  But, for a change, I got it in this soft blush color that I thought would make some of my Fall outfits that much brighter. Here are my two look ideas featuring this pink sweater:

The first look is very light and clean and it features the pink sweater in conjunction with a pair of white jeans and two pink accessories: pink flats and a pink cross body bag – both made of suede. This bag is sold out but I really love how it goes with those suede flats. The second look is bolder with an unusual color combo – pink and burgundy. I think the combo looks great and is perfect for Fall. You can get burgundy leggings everywhere now since it’s a very popular color for Fall. As for those velvet flats, many of you ask about them. The story is, I’ve had them for about ten years now and never wore them once because even though I liked them, they stood out too much. Ten years later – both pearl embellishments and velvet have made a comeback so I think I will put those shoes to use this year. After all, they waited a long time to be worn!

It’s time to embrace the color MAUVE this Fall as it seems to be the color of the season. From lighter shades to in between blush and pink to darker tones, you probably noticed some shade of mauve in stores. I have to say I love it! It’s not really pink, but more on the sophisticated side and obviously very trendy now. It seems to go with browns or greys, which are actually two combos I absolutely adore! If I were you I would make sure to add some mauve to your closet this Fall.

I haven’t done a post about my latest purchases for a while and since I’ve bought a lot lately (surprise, surprise) I decided it’s time to share. Some of the things I purchased are already sold out so I’m only listing the ones that you can still get. The Softspun Marled Joggers comes in four colors and they are the softest things ever. They are going to be perfect for Fall with a pair of sneakers and a jacket for a casual day. 

I fell in love with the Softspun Dolman Tunic as soon as I saw it. It’s also very soft and long enough to wear with leggings. I actually got it in pink and it comes in several great colors. 

The Mini Hoodie Dress comes in this beautiful burgundy color that I love. I don’t have to tell you how suited this is for Fall. Again, I’m planning to wear it with leggings, but you can also wear it as a dress with tights. 

The Floral Self-Tie Mini Dress sports the most beautiful lavender color and is very light and breathable, which will be perfect not only for now, but also for warmer weather. For example, when it starts to transition from Winter to Spring. 

You’re already familiar with the T-Strap Pointed Toe Flats as I wore them in my latest outfit post (check it out here). I love the blush color and I have to say they are very comfortable. They are perfect with jeans for transitional weather. 

Last, but not least, the Crossbody Purse in beige is something that I don’t have just yet, but it’s coming in mail very soon. I don’t have a bag in that color and I thought, because it’s nude, it will go with many different outfits. It also comes in three other colors. 

There you have it, the perfect six for Fall.

This dress is hands down one of my best purchases lately. It’s simple, yet different with the lace detailing and the contrast length. I absolutely love it and because it’s still warm outside I paired it up with a pair of pink flats. During cooler days, I envision wearing this dress with tights and booties with a nice cardigan on either in black or brown tones. It will look equally amazing! The quality of this dress is the same as in other stores – really good! If you’re looking for a trendy and versatile dress with an edge and that will be great for any season, this one is the one!

I love how my bag matches the flats and that they are both made of suede, which as you know from my 2017 Fall Fashion Trends post, is very popular this season. I bought the bag first and then when I saw the exact pink suede shoes, I knew they would be a perfect match for this particular bag. They are very comfortable I must say!

The bracelet is simple yet modern and I absolutely love the goldstone finish of it. This piece, because of simplicity and sleekness, will go with any outfit.

Fall is almost here so I decided to present you with the latest trends this season. As you can see, the ruffles/bell sleeves trend is not going anywhere. All kinds of pieces from sweaters to dresses feature this beautiful detail. I don’t know about you, but I don’t mind at all. Suede and velvet has come back too. I really embrace the suede waterfall collar coats and I’m planning to get one for sure. Suede booties look really nice too. Velvet looks great on dresses, purses and jackets. And how do you like the ripped/distresed trend this Fall? This is definitely new and not for everyone, but I’m sure people that love street style will love it.

You’re going to love this one for Fall! I’m wearing this brown linen dress in a pre fall style here, with just a pair of sandals, but imagine how great this dress would look in Fall with tights, booties, scarf and maybe even a round brim Fedora hat. It probably will look great no matter how you wear it. It’s perfect for transitional weather as the fabric is really thick and seems very durable. The longer sleeves are also perfect for in between weather. The nicest detail of this outfit is of course the longer back, which makes it very trendy. Isn’t the color beautiful too? I just saw a similar linen dress in another store and it was over $100! Guess how much you will pay for this one? Only $22! It should be much more for as good as it is though.

My accessories today are a pair of leaf earrings that I got last year and a necklace that I’ve had for a while now too. I thought these would go perfect with this dress.

When it comes to Fall, there is no better outfit than a pair of jeans and a nice multicolor striped sweater. I especially love the ones with a pop of  green, burgundy, mustard and brown, as these colors speak Fall the most. But almost no girl will say no to pink shades either, right? After all, when you combine pink and brown for example, you will still look like you’re dressed for Fall. Which sweater is your favorite?

This romper is the cutest thing ever! The long sleeves are perfect for transitioning to Fall as well as the shades of grey, blue and plum that you can spot on this piece. I also love its loose fit and this beautiful floral fabric is of a great quality too. You’re going to love this romper for sure!

I paired it with the bag I put on my Fall Wish List post this year. It’s an oversized brown cross body bag that I know is going to be perfect for fall and one that I will definitely need. Brown is a staple Fall color and it goes with all other Fall colors like green, burgundy, mustard and more. If you need a Fall bag for this season, this one is the one to get.

Because it’s not quite Fall yet, I opted for my brown sandals to go with this outfit, but you could easily wear this romper with brown booties as well and a nice cardigan to make it more for cooler weather.

My accessories today are a pair of blue earrings – a nice complement to the blue shade on the romper. I’m also wearing this beautiful Stella Spike Choker from Valley Rose Studio that I absolutely love. I actually got it customized per request to make it a little bit longer and it turned out really well. It gives off that boho vibe and I think it went well with this entire look.

Rodial Beauty Products Review

Rodial Beauty Products Review

 

I haven’t done a beauty post in a while, but since ‘ve been trying many new products and brands lately I decided to share them with you.
Have you heard of Rodial? It’s a beauty brand based in the UK, but you can find their products all over the US as well (Nordstrom’s Bloomingdales, Ulta, etc). I get bored rather easily using the same beauty products so I’m always open to trying something new. I decided to try Rodial as it has received rave reviews all over the web.

The products I want to share with you today are their toner, eye cream, eye pencil, lip plumper and mascara.

My favorite by far is the Dragon’s Blood Hyaluronic Tonic. It makes you feel refreshed, smells like roses and you can notice a difference in your skin textures within a week of using it. It hydrates the skin very well, so it’s not only for the summer months, but also for the winter ones as well. By reading some of the reviews, it also seems to help with several skin issues. I highly recommend this product.

The Snake Eye Cream comes in a large bottle that will last for a long time (and no, I’m not exaggerating). If a little sample can last a month or two, this product, because of it’s size, is definitely worth a splurge. I can never tell the difference when it comes to eye creams, if they do magic on my skin or not, but I look for other features like consistency, and ease of application. For those two things alone, I’m giving it a 10.

The Glamolash Mascara XXL is perfect for those who love lots of volume and thick, dark lashes. As the name suggests, this mascara is like magic as it visibly transformed my eyelashes. I also noticed it lasts long, and even after wearing it all day on a hot summer day, it stills holds on perfectly fine, no smears or anything. Great mascara for sure!

I don’t use eye pencils often but sometimes I do.  Instead of buying lower quality products, I prefer to splurge on ones that I know will last a long time, and that are reliable. This Smokey Eye Pen is pretty good I have to say. You can tell right away it’s a great brand when the color lasts all day and it’s really easy to blend in unlike other eye pencils.

And, as for the Dragon’s Blood XXl Lip Plumper, it was a disappointment. It didn’t work for me as it make my lips feel hot and like they were burning. Plus, when it gets in your mouth, it tastes really bad and that feeling goes throughout your whole body (stomach, etc). Not my favorite for sure.

So, there you have it. I highly recommend this brand. Yes, you’re going to spend some more than other brands, but, in my opinion, it’s all worth it.
