kiss goodbye summer.
I have been avoiding the end of summer as much as possible. Despite the fact that it is nearly October (how did that happen??), I am still struggling with accepting the changing season. As a way to get myself to accept that it is fall, this post is all about fall inspirations.There are a lot of big things coming up for me in October. I am traveling, have exciting plans made with good friends, my birthday is at the end of the month, and then of course there is Halloween! I am optimistic.
One positive about the new season, is being able to play with different makeup. I recently picked up the "Knock On Wood" trio by Wet n' Wild. I don't typically buy a lot of Wet n' Wild, but I fell in love with the colours. I especially love the lid colour, it is almost cranberry. What do you think?
I have also been very inspired by this picture. It sums up fall makeup perfectly.
Other fall inspirations? Coats! I love the range of colours and the trench-inspired look.
I am currently having a love affair with knitwear, but I am still looking for the perfect pieces....any suggestions?
As for dresses, these two have been inspiring me a lot lately. I love the bold colour of the first dress, but the second outfit is my personal favourite - classic and sophisticated.
Lastly, these are the fall accessories I am craving - a colourful boot, a pretty pair of gloves, and the perfect knit hat.
So there you have it! These are the things I am loving at the moment. Hopefully these fall inspirations will motivate me to let go of the summer!
Also, to anyone who has given me a blog award in the last little while, thank you so very much! It means the world to me.
What fall trends are you loving?
Woow the make up image is VERY inspiring!! I must try that ;) ... I love this change of seasons fall is actually my favourite <3

I am the opposite of you I can't wait for this fall weather to actually show up, it's still icky and muggy where I am. I can't wait for the colder weather so I can wear all my cute knit hats, and hoodies!! I also really like that wetnwild palette, what pretty fall colors!
ReplyDeleteSide note I gave your blog an award, you can see it on my blog!
I also like this W´n´W palette colors, so I will get it soon I guess. Very pretty boots and gloves :)

I love the blue and yellow coats. Bold colors yet still classic for winter coats, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteknit wear is my choice too for the winter...especially in grey color..great post darling***
