How do ya do? Hope you all are doing well! As we shall all know, fall starts on SUNDAY! It has come upon us so quickly...it is hard to believe. But personally, I know I have already been dressing in more "fall-ish" clothing to compete with the chill. But, today, on this fine evening, I wish to talk you about the colors of fall, and items that I have found that match the color and the mood of fall. These colors being more of the cozy oranges, reds, browns, beiges, and lets even throw in some grey and black. (hey, they go with EVERYTHING) Onward we sail...
✺ORANGE✺
I truly feel as if orange is thee color of fall. From the pumpkins, to the leaves....it is everywhere. So why not incorporate it into our daily outfits for that autumn attire. So I'm just jumpin' right into the first orange item. Here, on the left is the original bag that I was inspired by. It is from Free People, and more of a taupe color. The fringe is what really reeled me. Fringe really speaks BOHO to me...and that is the feeling I get from fall. So on the right is the actual bag I am recommending. I have this bag and I love it. It has that burnt orange color which is so popular, and it has little circular rivet detailing. And of course...it has fringe!! It is from Targethttp://www.target.com/p/mossimo-supply-co-fringe-crossbody-handbag-orange/-/A-14306002#prodSlot=large_8_28 and has a much for customer friendly price tag! ($17.48) I love this bag, and everything about it. It is not a huge bag...big enough to fit a wallet, sunglasses, gum, phone, and lipgloss, but not much more.

Moving on with the color orange...what orange product list wouldn't be complete without the typical orange nail polish. I am honestly not a huge orange nail polish wearer. I don't think it 100% compliments my fair complexion...however, this orange nail polish is not so bad. It is a color by Sinful Colors called Courtney Orange. It is again, more of a burnt orange in color, giving it a more dark undertone that compliments my skin better than a typical orange. It has slight sparkle in it...nothing too glitzy, but none the less, sparkle. Just a little somethin' to catch the light.
✺RED✺
Alright, next is red, and I absolutely love red. I could give product after product that is red. However, to save my time and yours, I am going to narrow this red category to 1 item only...dun DUN DUNN. And that product would be L'Oreal's Colour Riche Balm in Plush Plum (this color is more of a wine red-ish plum that straight plum or straight red). The balm I am talking about is the first in the line up in the picture. Since this product is a balm, it is incredibly moisturizing...and it has SPF. The color is quite diluted because it is a balm, leaving a light and natual tint to the lips. I think that it is perfect for school and that everyday look, to just give a classic play on red for the fall. Try it out! You can find these at almost any drug store that sells L'Oreal products.

✺BROWN✺
Next is any brown or taupe-ish/beige product. For me, I love to wear beigey brown flats in the fall. Flats are great for fall, cause they cover your tootsies, but are not a full on boot or anything of that sort, and the brown accentuates the fact that it is autumn! Also, I think a nice bronzy glow for fall can never be bad. It gives your face dimension and color, without being too summery or over done. My recommendation for a product like this is the Physicians Formula Mineral Glow Pearls in Light Bronze Pearl. This looks so beautiful on all skin types, even skin like mine...that being fair. And if I may, I really like to compliment this bronze pearl look with a mauve blush. My favorite one at the moment is one by E.L.F. It is a great price and great product, and can be bought at most drug stores that carry E.L.F. products. These two face products compliment one another mahhvelously and really bring the brown tones of autumn to and every day look.

✺BLACK/GREY✺
Black and grey go with everything....for every season. So how could I leave it out for fall??..I couldn't! For grey, I am going to recommend my absolute favorite grey pants (Levi Brand) from Marshall's for a great price. Honestly, everyone, go to Marshall's and TJ Maxx if one is near by. They are the most worthwhile stores to shop at, and they are wallet friendly. Anyway, back to my pants, since they were at Marshall's, the same exact pants are most likely not being sold anywhere else. However, I do wish to recommend just a regular grey wash of jeans. These will go with anything....really...ANYTHING! http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=0435_8251_951&catId=cat20108 Here is this pair from AE. And for black, I am going to recommend 2 items...both clothes...both great for the fall. Number 1...a plain black shirt! YES...it is that simple. A plain black short sleeve shirt can be worn with any bottoms, and can be accessorized up or down (depending on occasion) don't diss the black shirt, because it will forever be your best friend. And number 2...a black skirt. I got mine from Target. They are known as skater skirts, as they fit the waist and naturally flair and lay outwards right above the knee or at mid-thigh level. They are great for any weather, but for the fall...pair them with some tights and some lovely boots, sneakers, flats, heels...anything! Just a great bottom to work with.

And that's all she wrote...literally, that is all I wrote..ha! (funny ;P) but yes, those are my categorical colors of fall that I hope you gained some lovely inspiration from. And...from now on, I really want to give you a bloggly song recommendations. Music is such a large part of my life...and I wish to give some of my love for music to the other humans out there!
