Fall Fashion Forecast: Change Is In The Air

I love this time of year. The air is cooler, the leaves are changing and I can finally put away my summer clothes and move on to Fall!

It’s a time for change. And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing this month. (After reading ALL of my September issues of course). I started with the basics. Makeup. I needed to update my eye makeup. So of course, I went to Chanel. Where else?!

My favorite Chanel makeup artist, Amanda at Neiman Marcus in Natick Massachusetts, chose a light brown to line just a little bit under my bottom lashes. Just enough to make my eyes pop.

Then she added undereye concealer and highlighter on the outer corner of my eye. Loved the look! She finished with a soft pink shadow.

Perfect and easy to do every day!

Next up: wardrobe. I didn’t need to change anything, just add a few pieces to what I already have. I live in wool or cashmere turtlenecks and cardigans in the colder months. I always add a Chanel pearl necklace and it takes the look from casual to chic.

The Gap had a great sale on sweaters (40% off!) so I picked up two cardigans: one black and another in a deep plum. A classic staple

Boots. I looked in at least five stores for a cute pair of ankle boots. Either they are already sold out or no one made any. So I decided to add to my shoe collection with another fall favorite: Ballet Flats.

Now…when I tell you where I got these you are going to either A) Think I’m kidding or B) Think I’m crazy. I can assure you I am neither. And I am telling you the truth when I say these flats are adorable, comfortable and I get compliments on them all the time. I got them at…..

Target.

Ok, take a deep breath. I swear. These are the cutest, most comfy ballet flats! And I was so excited to see that they came in such a fun collection of colors and styles! I got them in the black quilted leather, beige with black cap toe and leopard print leather with black cap toe.

I already have them in black leather and white with black cap toe from last season…and in black leather with a small bow on the front. Clearly I’m addicted.

I saved the best change for last. Because, this is THE BEST CHANGE I MADE.

I traded my 2004 Jetta for 2015 Jetta with Technology. She is my favorite color, has a sun roof and all of the fun stuff I could ask for. Blu tooth, push start, touchscreen radio, controls on the steering wheel. And it’s…ahhh…RED! I like to think of it as Chanel red. Love! Oh, and it’s really good on gas.
