Plaid Comfort


In times of sorrow, it's natural to want to get comforted, and we're glad we can always fall back on plaid. It's in this fall, but be careful pairing it with accessories. There's a fine line between trendy and tacky, especially with these patterns. Go the safe route and pair it with dark denim. Get it at Macy's Plaza in Downtown LA.

Makeover Your Makeup

Summer was about the ethereal look. Fall is now about rich color. Set aside your lighter shades for darker, more lush hues of plums and charcoal greys. Don’t forget the drama. Make the eyes smokier, the lashes longer and the lips bolder.


Let Your Hair Down

The recession is no reason to get uptight. Shorter hair was cute and practical for the summer but fall is all about longer tresses. This will give you more options to play with your look. Also, go big on the volume.
 
 
 
 
For those of you that like to finish up your outfit with perfectly groomed and manicured nails, this fall/winter nail polish collections offer quite a lot of new and gorgeous colors. I believe that nothing completes a look more beautifully than nails wearing this season’s most significant colors. So it’s only obvious that this fall’s and winter’s most popular polish colors are rich purples, dark browns, deep reds, blues, dark orange..

One good option would be to put moisture back into the air. A humidifying system can help your skin remain supple instead of cracked and dry. You can buy a system from your local drug store.

5. Sunscreen …

Don’t say goodbye to your sunscreen just because summer is over. Before you leave your house, apply a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 15 or more. This will protect your skin from the elements. Alternatively, choose a product can combines a sunscreen with a moisturizer.



6. Gloves …

It’s simple but it works! Why expose your hands to the cold. Choose a good quality pair that does not irritate the skin. If you’re allergic to wool, wear a cotton mitten underneath. It will help keep your hands dry and warm.

8. Oil bath …

Now how does a jojoba oil or sweet almond bath sound to you? Relaxing isn’t it! You don’t have to keep these for holidays. Nourish you skin by adding a few drops of these oils into your every day bath. It will do wonders for your skin.



9. No blow dry …

Yes, sadly so. The blow drier is not your friend in winter. Try the tousled look or the wavy style this winter. Hot air dries out your scalp and can irritate your skin as well. So give the blow drier a miss this cold season.



10. Don’t lick …

… your lips we mean. If you do, you’ll only chap your lips even more. Keep a lip balm in your purse and apply it when you’re tempted! Or read more advice on How to Get Rid of Chapped Lips.
