We’ve discussed this, I love Autumn. One of the reasons is the fashion. Oh, how I love Fall clothing. Stoking the embers, is the magazine publishing industry.
My drug of choice is peddled by Conde Nast. Yesterday I got the September issue of Lucky. This issue is 382 pages of sheer Fall fashion joy, including 25 pages of nothing but shoes. You heard me, 25 pages of nothing but shoes! Heaven! Fall and Winter are the only times of year when I will wear real shoes and not flip flops.
Purple suede booties? YES! Sweater coats? YAY! I’ve never before had a desire for riding boots, but now I want them. Badly. Apparently dresses in airy, darkly printed fabrics are back in vogue. Could the early ’90s be coming back? Please let it be so, PLEASE! Rich fabrics, deep colors, varied textures; it’s all so lovely.
Oh, and I did I mention Fall makeup? Today I purchased my favorite lip color. Maybelline’s Lip Polish in Plumshine has done me right since 7th grade. How many other lip products have been around a decade? Cover Girl’s dramatic eyes quad is also wonderful. It has a shimmery white, shimmery silver, black and a beautiful deep burgundy. I love it.
Of course, it’s still 200 degrees with about 9,000 percent humidity outside, so for now, my dreams of knit tights, suede riding boots (yes, I’m vegan; but I still adore suede) and smoky eyes will have to wait until the air cools.
i have already bought my first sweater of the season.
it’s black.
technically it’s from last season. it was $40, and they knocked it down to $10. i got it for $5.
aaaand i can’t wait to wear it.
COOL OFF ALREADY
Awesome!
I bought a couple of knit things from Target when I was in Arkansas. They’re short sleeved (boooo!) but they’re super cute!
And yes, it needs to cool off!
