The Perfect Fall Inspired Bootie

Last fall when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale catolog came out I drooled over a pair of L.K. Bennett Plum Colored Suede Booties- "Doris Bootie" they were the perfect heel height- just high enough for a fancy night out but not so much that you couldn't pull it off in a "casual"  heel scenario...maybe only in my book! :)  Regardless, I loved them, they were on sale and when I popped into my local Nordie's & there was only one size 37 left- in my closet they went!

I found myself being so careful with them it was almost not worth having. 

So I have decided to wear them with as many outfits this fall as I have convinced myself they would go with when I purchased. 

Here is one look I recently wore to a baby shower and loved wearing these beauties!

 Here are a few similar styles I love!

Secrets to the perfect lip!

If you have had a chance to check out my "favorites" page you will see there is no shortage of beauty products. I have tried so many things but those listed are products I truly love!

The key to getting the perfect lip is hugely dependent on the canvas! I always start by using  Laura Geller smoothing lip scrub followed by Clinque All about lips!

 

After I have scrubbed & moisturizing I pick up one of my favorite colors!

My most recent addition to my favorites is the NARS satin lip pencil- I have mentioned it before in other blog posts but it really amazing- enough so I think it deserves a it's own post! Due to the season I have been gravitating towards Palais Royal- the color is so rich and this pencil truly lasts! I have sported this pencil to several events and only reapplied once a night- mostly out of habit than necessity! I have these three colors and absolutely love them- I am constantly looking too add some new colors, I think my next will be Yu- bring pink :)

I will be sporting one of these this weekend at a wedding! Keep an eye out for some Instagram shots of the weekend!

Old Navy hit the mark this fall!

If you read yesterday's post I was heading out last night to shop for dresses for two weddings I have coming up, one a more relaxed look and the other a more formal event. I was unsuccessful in finding a dress for either which was totally disappointing however I hit Old Navy before heading home and found some amazing pieces!

I think Old Navy totally stepped it up this season with some awesome sweaters, dresses and super cute button downs! I tried on several pieces, one of a which is a really versatile quilted vest which comes in four colors, I gravitated toward the cream with gold zippers, no surprise there! I also loved the hunter green color.

This boyfriend chambray is perfection, slightly heavier material, loose enough to create a relaxed look however not a sack which is a tough balance. I also love plaid button downs under a vest or sweater all of which Old Navy has this season, and for a bargain price!

I also found a few really cute dresses which are perfect for the fall but can also transition easily into the colder months!

I hope you get the chance to scope out Old Navy's fall style & come back soon to check out the blog! Don't forget you can subscribe to get updates of new posts! :)
