Things to Love About Fall

I don't know if you are anything like me, but i LOVE summer. I mean I heart summer big time. Lindsey + Summer 4EVA. I would probably marry summer if it were actually possible. I love the heat, I love the long days, I even love the humidity. But alas, summer is yet again leaving me, just like it does every year at this time. I am learning to embrace fall, and I certainly am a bigger fan of fall than winter, but let's be honest, nothing compares to summer. With fall, though, comes lower humidity, which is good for everyone's hair, plus makeup doesn't slide off your face the second you apply it because it's no longer 97 degrees outside. What I really like about fall is the change in color palattes you see...the browns, the golds, coppers, deep purples - all colors that a brown haired, brown eyed girl like me LOVES. This is not to say that your tropical neon pink lady palattes will never see the light of day again...but now is a good time to pack them away (or toss them if they need tossing) and bring out colors that are more earthy. As far as color, you can still wear it, but instead of baby blue, try navy. Eggplant purple is great for this time of year, as is a deep hunter or olive green. I got some samples from Milani over the summer that were awesome for that time of year, and that I really loved - so I indulged myself (and when I say indulge, I mean I spent like $5.99) in a beautiful color called Coffee Shop, from the Runway Eyes collection. It's a shimmery copper color and it's stunning. Copper is one of those colors that looks great on most skin tones and with pretty much any eye color. Also keep in mind you may need to think about a heavier foundation (but only if you need it), and consider that you may be losing your summer tan (GASP!!!) so powders and bronzers may need to go down to the next lightest shade. Another thing to adore about fall? Bringing out your fall wardrobe. Every year without fail when I switch out my spring/summer stuff for my fall and winter clothes, I find stuff I TOTALLY forgot that I had, so keep that in mind before you go blow your summer savings on a totally new wardrobe. And finally...fall means that the stores unleash that golden gift from heaven upon us all...CANDY CORN. If that doesn't deserve a season of its own, I really don't know what does!!!
