It’s fall when ….I polish my beat up cowboy boots and buy new socks.
Fall makeup: I stumbled on my new make up routine mostly because it takes 10 minutes to do. And because it’s a fresh change after wearing all that bronzer over the summer.
Apply foundation and leave your face clean with just a hint of blush on the apple of your cheeks. Add minimal or no eye shadow, but apply plenty of mascara. Then use a punchy red lipstick before you walk out the door. Make sure to apply a moiturizer first so you get a soft look, instead of too much color. I was excited to discover a $1 lipstick at drugstores: Wet n’ Wild 519A. Cheap enough to try a few shades!
I’m keeping my eyes peeled for: a cozy but elegant, long sweater that will cover my growing belly….something like this. It’s from Isabella Oliver, a line of beautiful maternity clothing that makes me drool. Isabella Oliver Maternity
Accessories: This costume jewelry is just the right colors for going with fall’s warm browns, greens, reds, and golds. I don’t wear it in the summer so it feels new again every autumn. I got this at a garage sale for 2 bucks but it still makes me feel dressy when I add it to a t-shirt and jeans.
Caitlin……I want to just read Pink Pepper and shut up…..but I can’t help myself. I just love you guys. Really hope to meet your Mom one of these days…..and kiddo…..you could put on ANYTHING and look gorgeous..ANYTHING!! Remember it was last year right about now that you guys came to visit….that was so special. Come back……tell Zac I’ll supply crabcakes!!! We leave on Friday to drive to Maryand……Shari
I love the clothes at Isabella Oliver but I just can’t see myself spending one or two or three hundred dollars for a single dress or T-shirt.
Thanks for the makeup tips! I just keep sticking to pink lip gloss all year round but maybe I can get up the courage to try red one of these days. :D
Sheri! I’ve been thinking about that visit and was just telling my mom about your beautiful home and how we feasted like Kings! What wonderful memories! I am reminded of it every time Freyja wants to read that great book you got for her about Maryland.
Thanks for reading out blog! It’s great to stay in touch.
Go for the red, Emeth! You can totally pull it off! :)
I know, I just look at Isabella Oliver. (I’m pretty sure they strap fake bellies to their super models.)
