Fashion Inspiration: Blushing For Fall

Blushing For Fall

Our most loved PL color of all time, blush, makes its debut yet again for fall trends this year. Nudes and blush tones can be worn all year around, especially for fall. 

Not sure how to incorporate the color into your fall ensemble?

Try these style tips from our latest streat-style and runway inspiration! Not to mention our own lovely styled look with our fave leather jacket ;)

Enjoy!

Stella McCartney Fall 2013

Make nude and blush colors your outfit's focal! Like these fabulous examples, pair neutral colors with gray tones, blacks and whites. This will keep the overall look more soft and radiant.

Turn a novelty dress into a casual look! This can be easily accomplished by throwing on your favorite leather jacket or blazer with casual booties/wedges. Dare to stand out by playing with this style concept for a day-time fall look. 

Bloggers We Love: Manrepeller

Leandra Medine

Hilarious, witty and widely posh is only a fragment of the glorious blogger-icon we know as, The Manrepeller. We can't get enough of her short stories on the latest for fashion, not to mention her unpredictable style that leaves us wondering "what will she wear next?". 

This week Leandra takes us on her fascinating journey threw London Fashion Week's runway + off- the- runway trends. And the best part about it? Getting to see her daily ensembles :D Needless to say, Leandra ranked at number one as our favorite LFW street style. Her white on white minimalist approach to London's rainbow of style made her stand out as our monochromatic heroine.  

Check out our favorite looks below and get inspired by her style too!

Summer Make Up Tips

It's that time a year again where I like to space clear my entire house :) to help with stagnant energy and personal flow. It always works for me if I feel stuck in any way to start to clear spaces to create space in my life and surrounding. This has now become a bi -annual practice for me that I encourage everyone to try :). I was tackling my make up as I often do and like many of you, whether it's your closet or other spaces in your house, it's hard to let go! These basic rules helped me attack my make up drawers! Hope it helps u too. 

Much love, Jenny 

• Mascara: Toss your mascara after 3 months. Mascara has the shortest life span of all make up because the risk of transferring bacteria back and forth from your eye into the mascara tube is so great. If your mascara starts to dry out before its 90 days is up, throw it away. Don’t add water or saliva to your mascara to rewet it. Doing so will only increase your chances of getting an eye infection.
• Eye pencils: Eye pencils can be kept up to 2 years. To make sure you’re using a clean tip, sharpen before each application.
• Eye shadows: Keep your applicators clean and your liquid shadows should last 12 months. Powder shadows will keep 2 years.

If you’ve had an eye infection, you’ll need to throw out all the eye make up and applicators you used from the time you developed symptoms. The virus or bacteria that caused the infection has probably taken up residence in your make up, so using those cosmetics again could cause you to develop another infection.

• Lipsticks: You can stow your tube lipsticks and your lip pencils for 2 years. As with eye pencils, sharpen your lip pencils before each use.
  Blushes and powders: Discard your cream blushes after a year, powder blushes and powders after 2 years.
  Think of your make up a bit like you do your food. If it smells weird, develops a film, or has a mold-green tint to it, it’s gone bad and needs to be tossed out.
  • Foundations and concealers: Moisturizing foundations and stick concealers can hang around for 18 months. A 12-month shelf life applies to both oil-free foundations, which can dry out quickly, and liquid concealers.
    Using clean brushes and sponges will help lengthen the life of your cosmetics. Be sure and wash or replace your applicators frequently.
    When you open a cosmetic for the first time, write the date on the product. It will help you keep track of how long you’ve had the make up so you’ll know when it’s time to throw it away.
