The Blazer – There’s something that I’m loving about a well fitted blazer, maybe it’s the new slim fits that are chic this fall, the must-have statement shoulders, the masculine meets feminine, maybe its just all of the above. Whatever the case may be, the blazer is a perfect choice for workdays, evenings out and weekends away. To work a blazer the right way it’s all about balance. Opt for this season’s fitted and more structured silhouette to pair up with flowy dresses and a baggy pant or jean. Go with the boyfriend blazer for leggings, skinny jeans and micro minis. And if you’re really fashion forward go all out with the reconstructed structured shoulder. You can definitely count on me working a few of these new styles into my rotation of jeans + tee + blazer combo.

Balmain's now iconic blazer - Must-have for fallChain Handbags – I’m a definite lover of accessories. A great shoe, piece of jewelry or chic handbag can turn a much-used look into something fresh and au courant. This season I’ve got my eye on the of-the-moment trend of chain handbags. My trick with keeping this trendy luxe look well worth the investment is to select styles that are timeless and will always work within my wardrobe for seasons to come. This season select luxe fabrics (leather, skins, fur) and embellishments (sequins, rhinestones, grommets) that will work well for both day and night. Also look for chunkier chains and new shapes to help keep your look en vogue and modern.

Beauty – The most budget friendly way of updating your look from season to season is through beauty. Something as simple as a new lip or nail color, eye treatment or scent can transition your everyday self into feeling sexier and more fall appropriate. Beauty to me is very personalized, be sure that you select a look that you love and are comfortable with. A stunning red lip or sexier eye is an easy way to automatically update and enhance your look, and a great place to start if you are wishing to opt for a minor new enhancement with major impact. And both happen to be very trend-on this season.
For me its all about the enhanced lined eye this fall. In the past I've opted for a more smokey effect, but this season I'm loving the precise black line paired with a nude eye and lip. I'm by far no pro at applying liquid liner, however I somehow manage with the Nars eyeliner stylo, definitely one worth trying.
The other look I'm loving right now is a clean face with a vivid red lip stain. Nothing screams sexy and classy like a chic red lip. I'm loving Nars velvet matte lip pencil in Cruella, but be sure you find one that matches up best with your skintone.
My must-have nail color of-the-moment happens to be the must-have nail color of-the-moment for everyone else too!! I almost feel a bit guilty including this one as its nearly impossible to currently find. I'm a very lucky girl, who has a very sweet friend, who very so kindly went on pursuit to locate this very-in-demand shade for me upon discovering I had no such luck searching on my own. My cherished bottle is arriving tomorrow. Lets just say I'm beyond excited and can't wait to try it out.

There are two beauty looks that I'm loving right now and for both I'm using these two great products from Nars.

YSL Nail Lacquer in Stormy Grey - a new fresh alternative to my current shades of nior and deep blueEveryone should have a signature scent. There's nothing sexier and more invigorating then a scent that speaks to you, and everyone else too. There are so many new great fragrances readily available, you might have to try a few different ones before you are sold on "the one". But once you do its well worth it. A small spritz on the way out will always give you that extra je ne sais quoi! My go to is Tom Ford Private Blend Amber Absolute - a honey-colored scent infused with the purest form of amber, joined by a tenacious refrain of African incense, labdanum, rich woods and a touch of vanilla bean.
