The Red Lip

The red lip, behind the scenes at J.Crew, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, means drinking soda through a straw. 

The red lip continues to be a  prominent look in the fashion world. It pairs beautifully with all the blacks, navys, and neutrals for Fall. What an easy and inexpensive update to your make-up routine. Be bold!

Look of the Day: Pleated Midi Skirt

                                                                                   

Thinking about transitioning my wardrobe to Fall clothes is so exciting.  I just hope the weather cooperates with my plan! I love the midi-skirt and sweater look. It's so ladylike and elegant, a riff on our grandmother's staple wardrobe pieces.

This midi-skirt outfit is an example of a good way to transition your summer looks into Fall. Pair a pretty midi-skirt with a light sweater and summer sandals. Love it.

Look of the Day

I love the color combination here: the denim, turquoise, and saddle brown give the outfit an all American vibe.  The addition of the stripes, chunky watch, and pearls add the pop of prep. It's all about the mix.  There are so many ways to interpret this vignette. Try a black and white striped top with jeans, a brown belt and flats.  Leopard flats would also work well. 

Since it is back to school time (eek!) and we must think about these things...this look will transition very well from summer to fall.
