Fall Trends: The Metallic Touch and the New Wave- On Trend On A Budget!

So I've been evoking Fall weather to come around sooner than later with my wishful thinking and playing 'layered dress up' in this L.A. heat!!! There are just so many things I love about the Fall season beyond pumpkin spiced EVERYTHING, cooler weather, and the holidays of course. I love Fall fashion…I love layering, I love finding my own style among all of the styles that come out that's unique to my personality. I am in no means a professional stylist, I won't even claim to know what I'm doing, but I do know what I like and I know I like to stay on trend and on a budget! 

I researched forever, the new styles in both fashion and beauty that we can expect to see this Fall season. Taking it from "the runway to the hallway" as I like to call it, I got SO inspired to combine them, two at a time and show you using all drug store brand makeup products. You can use whatever brand or product you have or love, but I just want to show that you can totally stay on trend and stick to a budget. Thank you Glamour, Cosmo and the umpteen other places I googled and searched to find these for you all. I was a research machine! The Metallic Touch makeup look will be everywhere this Fall season, it's just adding a touch of shimmer to your look. Whether it be to your eyelids, the inner corner of your eyes, or even your lips which I did here. You choose how you want to glimmer and so I chose all three! And the New Wave hairstyle, another popular one for this Fall season is a spin on classic bohemian wave look, but with a bit more polish to it. If you want to see how I did this look head on over to my channel here and watch how I combine both looks to bring you this! 

 I had an event to go to this day so I wore this hair and makeup look with a very classy sophisticated dress that I've had for a while but didn't know what do to with. It's this blue chiffon, sleeveless, A-line dress that features this high neck ribbon tied back.  I belted it with this beaded belt from Francheska's boutique, wore navy blue tights underneath, and for my shoes I wore my daughter's Oxfords from Aldo's in Ox Blood (she's the coolest). It's a very sophisticated and chic look, I pinned my hair back for a different look than I'm used to and headed out the door!
