FASHION
Fashion this fall is all grown up and sophisticated with a little edge. Androgynous pants and jackets with a rocker bag, men’s dress shirts and men’s watches are really great right now.

Pale, rose colored blush is really great right now. We’ve seen really sculpted cheeks on the runway this season and you can achieve that look with light blush and a little highlighter right above the blush line and blend really well. Remember less is more with blush. If you do apply a little too much, tone it down with some powder.

Manicure / Pedicure Trends

Move over purple and enter blue. Navy and deep royal blue are this “it” colors right now, as is black and deep vampy reds. Don’t forget your toes. I know we’re moving out of flip flops, but you may still wear peep toe pumps.

Change our your OPI “Lincoln Park at Midnight” for OPI “Russian Navy” or OPI “Light my Sapphire.” Try a metallic blue/purple like “OPI Ink.” For a beautiful black/red try OPI “Midnight in Moscow.”

Remember to keep nails short and square to make the most of these dark shades.
