Affordable Fall Beauty & Fashion Trends

The weather may be wet and dreary but the temperature in Jersey is beautiful. Some may disagree that it is too cold,but it is indisputable that fall temperatures are here. And with the change in temperature comes a change in wardrobe, my favorite wardrobe to be exact....fall fashion! 

The trends this year are something serious and I don't think there's enough days in the season to wear them all. What I'm trying to say is the trends this fall are so versatile and neutral that the combinations of outfits you can create is endless. 

I'm sharing my favorite fall beauty and fashion trends for 2015 that are not only among the top trends for the season, but will not max out your credit cards or break the bank. Yes my friends, it is very possible to keep up with the changing fall fashion trends with affordable styles for the fashionista on any budget. 

With an endless fall color palette, earth tones and rich reds are always popular and a staple in my wardrobe. What are my go-to fall colors? Lots of earthy colors including burnt orange, dark green, beige, brown and mustard mixed with some deep hues of navy and burgundy and a splash of feminine pink, creams and mauve.

What I Wore: My Favorite Fall Color Combo

Fall is almost officially here, and the weather in Jersey would certainly agree. For me, this means it's not appropriate to bring back my favorite color combo in my wardrobe; burgundy and navy. There's just something about these deep tones that I can't get enough of.

On a side note, burgundy compliments warm skin tones while navy compliments cool skin tones. What does this mean? No matter your complexion, you really can't go wrong with this combo.

My look today is from a few different retailers: Old Navy, Bob's Store and Mandee. Ladies, I'll let you in on one of my favorite styling tricks. When dawning chiffon skirts, wearing them at your natural waistline will not only minimize your hips and thighs but will accentuate the smallest part of your waist. I mean, who doesn't want to look slim and trim?!

Back to School Fall Fashion Trends

Every year as summer was coming to an end and another school year was about to begin, there was always one word that came to mind...the "F" word that is. Minds out of the gutter please, I'm talking about FASHION! Rocking my new back to school wardrobe was really all I was excited for at the beginning of a school year. I may not have to go back to school this year, but I've still got the scoop on the hottest back to school fall fashion trends for 2015.


A preppy sweater is a must-have in your back-to-school wardrobe this fall. Plain sweaters are great when paired with printed or patterned bottoms. If you opt for a printed or patterned sweater, keep the bottoms plain and simple. You want each piece to compliment one another, not overshadow.

Lace is a timeless classic that is appropriate for all ages. Whether your style is tomboy or girly, a little bit of lace can go a long way. A lot of designers are adding a touch of lace to their athletic apparel this season to put a classic spin on an otherwise casual style. A lace blouse is a great transitional piece from summer into fall. What I personally love about lace is how lightweight it is.

Fit and Flare Dresses are another great transitional piece for any season. If your dress has no sleeves a simple cardigan can take the look from summery to fall. The same can be said for shoes. Sandals and open-toed shoes are great while it's still warm out, but when the temperatures start to drop switching up your look with tights and boots is a great choice.

I can not get enough plaid in my closet this season! I mean really, you just can't go wrong with this print...unless of course you mix it with other patterns or loud colors. The same rule of thumb applies to plaid just like any other pattern, stick with one focal piece to accentuate the plaid.

You can never go wrong with a great pair of jeans. This year is all about the denim look so if you don't already own a pair of jeans, I suggest you invest! The fabulous thing about denim is its versatility from casual to sporty to chic, the right top and shoes can completely change your look.
