It is Fall

Casual sweater on top of sequins 

Layers to perfection and love the color combination of olive green, grey and off-white

Thick yummy leather jacket in a refreshing color

Easy, oversized, cozy cable neck sweater to pair with jeans and knee high boots and you are done

Camel coat paired with an exotic skin clutch (embossed or real, you get the effect)

With all the goodness of Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Weeks still on the brain, I find it hard to remember these days that I need to be thinking about dressing for Fall!  I will be showcasing my favorite SS13 designer looks in the near future, but for now here are some of my favorite looks and style inspirations to get dressed now.

Tom Ford Beauty

I have discovered my new favorite makeup line - Tom Ford Beauty.
Above image from left to right:

• Cafe Rose Eau de Parfum
• Exotic Teal Eye Defining Pencil
• Midnight Eye Defining Pencil
• Emerald Lust Eye Color Quad
• Narcissist Cheek Color
• Peach Blush Illuminating Highlighter Pen
• Bordeaux Lust Nail Lacquer
• Minx Nail Lacquer
• Naivete Ultra Shine Lip Gloss

My personal trick: I line the outer corner to the middle of the upper eyelid with Exotic Teal Eye Defining Pencil and fully line the bottom eyelid with Midnight Eye Defining Pencil.  With a coat of mascara, this look will give you just enough of a pop of color but still remain subtle.

On another note, did you know Tom Ford Beauty is part of the Estee Lauder brands?  Very stylish indeed.

Brad and Chanel

The most important branding takeaway I learned from working in the luxury goods industry is the importance of showcasing one's heritage but innovating to stay current with the times.

Recently naming Brad Pitt as the first ever male face to the iconic Chanel No. 5 perfume is innovative.  The ad campaign not only appeals to women by having the stamp of approval from Brad, but also appeals to men as a gift for their significant others. See full ad campaign on Chanel's website. 

Chanel No. 5 is the iconic perfume of the fashion house and embodies it's rich history being the first perfume released in 1921.   And let's be honest here, if Brad likes it I like it!

Trend: The Printed Blouse

I'm loving this dark printed blouse needed for any wardrobe to give that extra edge to the many basic blouses we already own!  Style with your favorite black leather pants or dark denim and you are ready for any occasion day or night.  I'm not one to over-accessorize and with a show-stopping top like this, I say less is more!  Find this gorgeous Stella McCartney blouse here.
