Mad for Plaid
I love a plaid shirt. I think there's something incredibly chic and cosy about it, and can be paired with so much. Perfect for all year round. No matter what colour you choose, you can't go wrong.

Chanel Pre-Fall 2016 Collection
For Chanel's latest Metiers d'Arts collection, Karl Lagerfeld recreated an elegant and stunning Paris backdrop in Rome.
Tweed jackets, lace leggings, leather dresses and a quilted leather suit...it was uniquely and gorgeous as you would expect from Chanel.

Makeup Clean Out
We all love makeup. There's nothing quite as fun as buying a new lipstick, or getting a new sample of mascara, but how many times have you gotten something and find that you haven't actually worn it more than once?
Always make sure you're using makeup that isn't expired, or be sure to buy new products before their supposed to expire.
Here is the basic time frame for how long products should be used:
Mascara: 3 Months - I think this is one of the big ones you really have to pay attention to. Since this product goes directly near your eyes, you want to make sure you keep a close tab on how long you've had it. I think the best way to do this is by buying one at the beginning of the year so you know when you need a new one.
Liquid Eyeliner: 3-6 Months - Same idea as Mascara
Foundation: 6-8 Months - You don't want to apply something to your face that has a bad smell, or even worse if the colour has changed.
Concealer: 1 Year - Same idea as Foundation
Eyeshadow, Blush, Bronzer: 2-3 Years - Of course if you use certain shades more than others, you'll be replacing sooner.
Lip Gloss: 1 Year - It might not seem like it, but lip glosses can go bad. In terms of smell, and consistency or colour of the product.
Lip Stick: 1 Year - Same as above.
Nail Polish: 1 year, or when it starts to get thick. Even though thinners do work, sometimes it they just don't help.
If you use some product every day, or on a regular basis, chances are you're buying new ones often enough to re-stock up on what you need.

Camel Coat
Even though it's getting colder out, and you have to hide that stylish outfit, it shouldn't mean that your coat can't look good. One trend that I'm loving this year, is the Camel Coat. It's a simple piece to wear that goes with every outfit. Whether you're dressing up, or down this season, you'll stay warm and look good.

Sweater Dress
Sweater Dresses are a great fall piece that can be easily transitioned into other seasons.
Remember it's fall, and it's chilly out. Keep the hemline long and below the knees. You can always add a great leather jacket, denim jacket or long coat.
Sneakers, and ankle boots are a great shoe that keep it both casual yet stylish.
Long sleeves are a must have.

Sephora Mud Mask
I've been looking for a good face mask for a while, and after some searching I discovered Sephora Collection Mud Mask and it works so well. My skin feels fresh, and clean afterwards.
Once you've removed all your makeup and washed your face, pat dry and apply a thin layer. It will go on in a dark grey colour, and dry within 5 minutes to a soft shade of green and harden slightly, then wash off. Use twice a week.
Fun fact...I had to go to 3 different locations because the first 2 were sold out!! Online as well!!

Statement Earrings
Statement earrings are a fun and chic way to dress up or add an extra touch to your outfit. They can be simple or lined with gems, stones, etc. Either way, you can't go wrong wearing one of these pieces.
Anita Ko Arrow 18 Karat Rose Gold Diamond
Repossi Berbere Ear Cuff
Sophie Bille Brahe Elipse Nuit Earring
The best way to wear one of these, is on one ear and tuck your hair behind. Let it shine!

Suede
Suede can be scary, but it can also be incredibly gorgeous. This fabric is back and in a big way.
You can't go wrong with suede ankle boots. No matter the colour, or style; these boots are chic.
Gianvito Rossi Suede Ankle Boots
A suede bag is so chic for fall.
Saint Laurent Emmanuelle Medium Fringe Suede Bucket Bag
The trick with a suede skirt is to keep it above the knee and slightly flared.

Don't be afraid of suede!

Summer-To-Fall
Slowly, but surely fall is coming. Cooler days are happening, though we still have those beautiful sunny, summer ones. While I'm not ready to say goodbye to summer fashion just yet, I know that changes in temperatures means changes in style.
Layering is key during seasonal styling, as you don't have to say goodbye (or you can start saying hello) to pieces you love. Want to continue wearing that dress? Add a jacket and some ankle boots. Love your shorts? Add a blazer, or oversized sweater with flats.

A long sleeved dress is perfect when it starts getting cooler out, as you can roll up the sleeves and going with a below the knee hemline ensures your legs don't get cold.
Stella McCartney Striped Sweater Dress
The weather can be tricky, so a jacket is the perfect piece just in case.
Isabel Marant Etoile Kady Washed Leather Jacket
Saint Laurent Satin Lapel Tux Jacket
When wearing shorts, be sure to keep the length longer than normal.
A.L.C. Bond Short
A chunky knit paired with shorts, a skirt or jeans is great to keep warm.
Stella McCartney Clean Ribs Asymmetric Sweater
I firmly believe that ankle boots can be worn all year round.
Gianvito Rossi Suede Ankle Boot
Play up your flats with studs, laces, or a platform.
Valentino Rockstud Leather Cage Flats
Stella McCartney Faux Patent-Leather Platform Brogues
Even though it's starting to get cooler out, it doesn't mean your style has to change. Layering is key to keeping your summer looks at fall temperatures.

Culottes
I'm really loving the style of Culottes. A cross between wide leg, cropped and skirt; this trend easily transitions from summer to fall.
Zimmerman Ryker Broderie Anglaise Cotton Culottes
Tibi Pleated Jacquard Culottes
Victoria Beckham Printed Pleated Silk Culottes
A jumpsuit with Culottes is so chic.
McQ Alexander McQueen Poly Crepe Zipped Jumpsuit
An easy and versatile look, mixed with comfort and chicness; you can't go wrong.
