Sweater Weather: Layering

There is nothing better, and more comforting, than the feeling of pulling on a cozy sweater, and there a plenty of options out there to keep you warm this season. However, how do you keep yourself warm while layering, without losing a flattering silhouette? The answer: Make your layers progressively thicker, and add shape.

 A thin cardigan, such as this one, would be a perfect layer to start with. It's thin, warm, and would allow for other pieces to go on top.

Next could be outerwear, such as a blazer, coat, or jacket. Depending on the look you are going for, you could choose any of them. Below are some examples...

The jacket in this picture would be perfect because it is basic, tailored nicely, and paired with the belt, defines the waist.

The bright yet classic color makes this blazer special, and the shape makes it flattering and suitable for layering.

This coat is great because it is tailored, and yet again has a belt at the waist to help define, despite the fact that it is a heavier piece.

How will you be staying warm this fall?

Androgynous Hairstyles

With fall here you would think that long flowing hair would be the ideal accessory to all of our coats and boots; however, Hollywood has been proving us wrong with a ton of celebrities chopping off their long locks, and trading them in for something shorter.

Easy to maintain, great for a multitude of ages, and super flattering if cut perfectly to your face shape, this haircut is a triple threat! It can also serve as the gateway to healthier hair, if you want to get rid of damaged ends, and grow it out. Would you try this cut? Check out these pictures for inspiration!

Bleachin' Brows


We know that one of the best ways of changing the way your face and eyes look is to change the shape of your brows, because they frame your face. So what happens when you bleach the frame? You completely revamp the shape of your face, and give off a type of alien quality.

Take Rooney Mara in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as an example. Thanks to her bleached eyebrows, the and jet black androgynous hair, she looked fierce and altogether changed the way we perceive her. This trend hasn't stopped with her either, because pictures of models sporting bleached eyebrows are popping up everywhere! Just look below, and see how their look changes.

If you think you might want to try this trend, we definitely recommend seeing a professional for bleaching, or trying it out by going over your eyebrows with foundation, and looking at the results first before doing anything permanent. What do you think?

Enhance your eyes with a pop of Bright Liner

Lining your lash line with a bright color really enhances your eyes and makes them pop! It also adds a colorful surprise to your face that will get you showered in compliments! Try experimenting with different colors to see which one suits you best.

We love pairing this look with lashings of mascara and then keeping the rest of the face minimal and nude to accentuate the pop of color.
