Fall fashions
The perfect fall jackets:
My favorite time of year is fall. And the greatest part of fall is seeing what's new in fashion. The beginning of fall is so beautiful, not yet very cold; well, in Madison ,Wisconsin. The transitional pieces for fall are so much fun.
I welcome back the jackets, coats, and blazers that are still lightweight enough to wear over those summer tank tops or pretty blouses. These jackets are simple, but have such beautifully tailored details: sharp lapels, well-defined shoulders, finished cuffs, and nicely tapered at the waist. They aren't the traditional business-like wool jackets/blazers, but the new fall jackets are professional, yet functional. They translate from day to evening perfectly.
The second trend that I have seen on the runway has been animal print. Actually, this is nothing new. I have seen some sort of animal print every season, in the fall, winter, spring, or summer. It is a fashion staple that will never go out of style. I've seen animal print in cocktail dresses or in blouses. I love anything animal print. I would wear this particular animal print blouse with shorts for now or wide-legged trousers in the fall, which looks perfect since the blouse is tapered at the waist.
OK. I can go on and on forever with the new fall trends, but I'll stick to what I find to be the trends that have struck me as most important.
I love the simplicity of clothes in general. A great black dress, a classic animal print blouse, the classic blazer or wrap in great fall colors to wear over those summer tops or dresses that you're not ready to put away.
However, I think that a woman can be chic without going over the top. Simple. But I also love luxury. Even if your outfit isn't screaming typical luxury with fur, leather, or something else that is typically considered luxurious, I think that you can add luxury to your outfit, especially with a great piece of statement jewelry.
The following are my favorite pieces. Appropriate for any season and any fabric or color.

Trader Joe's Baked Salt & Vinegar Chips!
I'm not sure why I chose to buy a bag of the Baked Salt & Vinegar chips on my last visit to Trader Joe's. Generally, I'm not a fan of baked chips. I love the idea, but they never taste great. I think I must have been incredibly hungry and thought, eh why not give them a try?
Yum!

Love this top
Hi Jennifer & Friends! I know it's been a few months but I'm back and need some fall fashions. I was just going through the "what's new" page and saw this gorgeous sweater and had to write about it.
It's getting cool at night in London and that is the first sign of fall and I have an itch to buy some clothes. The color and the look is so me!
Anyway, I thought I would get back to writing on the friends blog and this was a great place to start.

Skin Care Goodies- From Acne to Wrinkles!
As I've talked about many times before, I'm a Sephora addict. I went in the other day to get an express make-over on my eyes, and I came out with a gorgeous new eye pallet by Urban Decay (called Naked... the best colors ever, and it comes with eye liner and lid primer), and some other goodies!
I got talking with the girl, and I mentioned how I wanted to find a product that gave the same results as a chemical peel, but that I could do at home. I normally get chem peels about 4 times/year and I've always loved them, but they get expensive and it's so hard to get an appointment (my doctor is booked until the end of September)! She recommended this "Peeling Groovy Facial Serum" by Bliss. It's $65 for this little bottle ( I know, that's a lot)... but, the product supposedly evens out your overall skin tone, minimizes pores, and clears up skin, all while you wear it overnight and underneath your normal moisturizer. I've only used it one night, but I can't wait to keep using it and let everyone know of the results! The product reviews on sephora.com are all AMAZING. There are a few negative reviews stating that the product hurt when applied. It sure didn't hurt my skin, and helllloo, pain is beauty ;)
"I NEVER EVER thought my skin could look this good. Just finished my first bottle, moving onto my next :)"
This other product that she recommended, but that I did not buy yet, is this microdermabrasion exfoliate from Dr. Brandt. I felt it in the store, and the crystals are so fine and it feels like a great quality product. I used to get microdermabrasion in the doctors office, and for $75 you can get this small jar of it to use 1-2 times a week that is supposed to last 6 months! Although it's expensive, the benefits and the ease seem worth the money. Again, the reviews on sephora are amazing.
'Hands down.. the absolute best product on the market. Fine grained granules gently clean & don't irritate. Excellent!'
'After used Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion exfoliating cream skin becomes lively, it has natural color breathing again. Nice massaging removes all dirt, stains and pimples from skin ... the best product I've ever used'
So hopefully I've found some truly wonderful products. I'm really excited about the peeling groovy, and I'm hoping to get the Dr. Brandt product soon! I will let everyone know when I do and how it all works.
P.S. I'm a week and a half into using my Nivea "goodbye cellulite" lotion. So far I haven't noticed anything dramatic, but the results are supposed to take at least 2 weeks with full results in 4, so I will keep everyone in the know!

Some fashion tips for fall!!!
I love ruffles. Sometimes ruffles can be too much, such as looking like a "pirate" shirt or a little girl's shirt. I love tops that keep the ruffles to your collar. I would definitely pair a cute top with jeans or a fitted jacket. I wear the beautiful top above with denim cutoff shorts and camel heels.
For the transition to fall, I would start with a cute, favorite summer dress. I would wear a t-shirt under it or a cardigan or wrap over it, pair it with a huge, colorful scarf. Drape it, whatever, and wear the outfit with high wedge boots. The first three looks would be perfect for just draping over a summer dress that you're not yet ready to put away.
Also, t-shirts and jeans are always in style. I would pair any of the three top looks with your great tees and jeans, especially skinnies, with different distressing, with ankle boots, high heels, wedges, or platforms. 90% of the designers this season for fall sent leggings down the runway. I am so happy that leggings are still the "bomb" and hopefully will never go out of style.
I love the jeans on the left. The wash is perfect. It matches bright colors as well as grey or black. Just remember that if you have fitted jeans, you can wear a more slouchy, deconstructed top, and vice versa. Speaking of deconstructed, most of the blazers for the fall are, such as the one on the left. Reminiscent of the eighties!!!!
