 Leggings with a long belted shirt are going to be in this year. I know it sounds bad… but leggings, especially black leggings, can be surprisingly forgiving. Add ballet flats and a chunky jewelry and you have the perfect comfy and cute fall outfit. |

 Big statement necklaces, chandelier earrings, and bold bracelets, add drama to your fall wardrobe. Fall colors are usually a little more restrained and deeper than the hot corals and turquoises you wear in the summer. So try going with richer purples and jewel tones to compliment your fall wardrobe. |

 Blush should generally be applied directly on the cheekbones and blended out and up towards the temple area. When choosing a blush color make sure to consider what season you are in, but don’t be afraid to go with a color that has a little brown in it. This will help you look healthy and sun-kissed all year long. |

 If you are like me and you have small eyes, the key is white eyeliner. Now I know this sounds weird but here is what you do: Apply your eye shadow as you would normally, then before you put on your dark eyeliner put a thick layer of white eyeliner on your top eyelid and then smear it in. After that, apply your regular eyeliner and your eyes will look wider and further apart! |

 For celebrity curls, dry your hair upside down with your hair drier. Once your hair is dried begin to divide your hair with a comb into sections and then put it into curls. Hair spray each section and then let each of the curls sit until they are cool (very important!). Use a curling iron to fill in any missing pieces once you take the curls out. Then you will get great, full celebrity curls. |

 If you want really straight hair, then get yourself a CHI flat iron. You can get one at most beauty supply stores OR you can get one at Target. The Chi is a little pricier than other flat irons, but totally worth it! |

 This season is all about muted-metallics. Muted tones of copper, pewter, and iron are making a splash on the catwalk! Pair these colors with earthy shades of tweed, linen, or leather to keep the shine subtle. Thigh-high boots paired with skinny jeans or leggings are certainly making a statement. |

 The Tip for today… the Bump It!!! It’s not cheesy because it works. You can pick it up at any WalGreens or at BumpIt.com. Style your hair like you normally would then comb the back of your hair forward towards your face. Next place the Bump It in your hair then comb your forwarded hair back over the Bump It. You’ll get tons of volume without excess teasing or hair spray! |

 For smokey eyes, apply your eye make up as you normally would. Then, with a thin brush start by applying a small amount of loose black eye shadow in the crease of your eye from the outside in. Repeat this step until you have reached the darkness you desire. Finally, lightly dust your under eyeliner with the same shadow. This should give you a fabulous smokey look! |

 Here are some LOOK THIN tips: first, stand up straight; if you improve your posture, you will decrease rolls in your stomach and gain confidence! Second, wear underwear that fit. The look you’re going for is seamless – no ill-fitting bras that leave back fat spilling over in bulging rolls. |

 Women who wear heavy eye makeup and dark lipstick can look a little clownish. So, if you want to wear dark lipstick, keep the rest of your makeup light. If you want to play up your eyes, keep your mouth light with a gloss or light lip color that doesn’t stand out. If you want plumper lips, put a little clear lip gloss on the center of your bottom lip. |

 If you are very large breasted… Use this asset to your advantage. Needless to say-get a fantastic bra… Wear a neckline that is flattering to your bust. V-neck and scoop neck are always a yes. And NEVER buy a turtle or high neck top. Ever! |

 If you want long lashes but weren't blessed with them naturally, here is a quick tip that will cost you less than $20...
1. Use a clear Mascara before you add color to prime and condition your lashes.
2. To make your lashes look longer, place your brush at lash line on the topside of the lashes. In a slow, even motion; go from root to tip of the lash. Then go over lash tips again, this time from underneath it. Repeat this until you get the look you want. |

Mix suede moccasins or more casual boots DO have a place in your wardrobe and not just for bumming it on Saturdays.

It makes you look fab’ without looking like you tried so hard. |

 I am sure you have noticed the fact that sweater coats are back and better than ever. They can look great belted or longer, even bomber styles take sweaters to a new level. And everyone from the Victoria Secret catalog to Old Navy is selling them for decent prices. If you get a one neutral color you can wear that all the time and get a special bright color to wear for special occasions, it can be your go-to outfit when you go out. These aren’t your grandmas cardigans anymore…although cardigans are totally cute too. |
