I love a menswear inspired button down. In fact if you peak into my closet you will notice I love a LOT of them!I recommend wearing one pretty much with everything, but sometimes you want your menswear button down to look a little more feminine. At least I do
Think about it, do you really want your makeup tested on animals? Why should animals be tortured in the name of our beauty and if it can’t be tested on humans, do you really want to put it on your face? I don’t. You may have noticed (thankfully) there is a big push for cosmetics companies to no longer test on animals. You might also be amazed in this day and age how many cosmetics companies are still animal testing
At first I was not sure this trend was age appropriate. Then Carol and I got to talking about how to style fall’s hot shoe trend: block heel ankle strap pumps and I was won over. They are a more sophisticated Mary Jane style and I particularly love the ones with multi straps. You can go a little crazy with the pattern since baroque and florals are so in this season but that could look a little too trendy if you are over 40 and don’t know how to pull the look off properly (don’t go there unless you really know what you are doing or are a fashion risk taker). A safer bet is a black suede, patent or velvet block heel ankle strap pump
I have to give credit where credit is due. Carol pointed out the lace-up trend this fall. I had not noticed women wearing clothes that lace up like sneakers and except for a couple of cute sweaters, this may be a trend I pass on this season. It’s not my personal fave, but you might adore it
The rain. We forgot about the rain! Do you have any rain boots other than Hunter boots? You should. Rain boots have come a long way. You can find pairs that look like biker boots, hiking boots, pointy toe shiny low cut pull-ons and even Valentino Rockstuds!
