Blanket Cape Trend Fall 2016

This post is a large compilation of Fall 2016’s biggest trends, Olive Green, Flared Jeans and the newest of the trends that happens to look like a poncho but is referred to as the Blanket Cape. This purchase was from Primark. If you watched my haul, I purchased a beige one but swapped it for this rich olive green perfect for the fall. I wore this on a night that almost felt like winter , but the  did its job and kept me warm enough.  I kept the makeup  and the color palette as simple as possible, guiding the eye to naturally focus on the cap. I styled the cape with a short sleeve tee underneath and one of my favorite recent purchases from H&M a flared pair of jeans.

The Blanket Cape is a fall must have with its ability to be a statement piece that is not over bearing and allows you to be stylish and warm. The various options and styles of these capes are amazing and can become a basic piece in you’re fall wardrobe as well. You can mix and match the different color options with things that are already apart of your wardrobe. Some even have the reversible option, so you have 2 pieces in 1.

Flared Jeans like I mentioned a few months back in this post, are on the rise in different leg widths, some more dramatic than others and some more tapered like these. My current goal is to get ones similar to the ones I am wearing, tapered and fit on the legs but with a more dramatic flare at the end. I have my eye on a few and soon enough there will probably be a post on them. How would you style a blanket cape? Make sure to go to the end of the post with details on where to purchase one and some inspo.  View Post

Top : Zara (Last Season) Skirt / Zara / Shoes : Zara / Purse : H&M

It’s officially fall ! That means a shift in our wardrobe color palettes and more layers for the cooler crisp air and crunchy leaves. I have a love hate relationship with fall, as with all seasons, but when it comes to fall fashion, who doesn’t love it? Before the temperature took a dip and the official fall date was approaching, I already started filling my room with shopping bags stuffed with warm colored and thick fall clothing. My eyes and my hands have been wandering towards the fall colors like oranges and greens and to the hats and scarves.

For this outfit I picked out one of my favorite fall colors Olive/Army Green. In the UK they would call this color Khaki. (In the states Khaki is like a beige color.) This color is ideal all year round but in the fall it definitely stands out more against everything else that is either really warm (color wise) or really cool. The green stands out in the middle and can be paired in anyway. You can add some army green to your fall wardrobe by grabbing a parka, a cargo jacket, a pair of army green pants and even a blazer. The options are endless and can be incorporated in any look.

Almost this whole outfit is unintentionally from Zara. I combined my army green skirt, which is a recent purchase with steel toned gray fringed crop top to bring some character. To seal the deal I also added a “neutral” shoe which are my cheetah pumps, also from Zara to mix it up a little more. I am not sure how I came up with this outfit but my creative juices definitely have the credit for this one. To tie the whole look together my adorable little bucket bag that looks like a Mansur Gavriel look for less from H &M. *shoutout to Olivia* Accessories were kept simple with my everday pearl earrings and watch giving for a minimal feel.

Warm Spotlight/Halo Tutorial | featuring Vegas Nay x Too Faced Star Dust Palette

Hello everyone, finally another makeup tutorial is up on the blog’s YouTube channel. I picked up the Vegas Nay Star Dust Palette by Too Faced a few weeks ago from Ulta. I decided to try it out since I have never owned a Too Faced eyeshadow palette. I also decided to create a different look, the spotlight/halo eye makeup with the warmer tones from the palette. The spotlight/halo eye makeup is when one eye shadow is sandwiched or blended between the same shade on either side, sounds confusing I know. But think of it as a spotlight, the inner third and outer third are darker and blend in with the the middle which is typically a brighter shadow color. For it to make more sense be sure to check out the tutorial. If you haven’t yet subscribed to the Blog’s channel don’t forget to do so. Also like, share and comment as you please. Have a happy and blessed weekend everyone.
