Fall Shoe Trends

Lately, I've been noticing a lot of combat boots, riding boots, smoking slippers/flats/loafers, and boat shoes! Boots and flats are always  classics but this season they have some edginess added to them with lots of studs. The "smoking slipper" style is relatively new. Do you guys like that style? They seem to have a loafter, flat, slipper mix to it. 
These are some of my favorite of each category:

Combat boots:

Steve Madden Troopa

Steve Madden Tarnney 

Big Buddha Amber 

Riding boots:

Frye Melissa Button

Ayana Boot (Delia's)

Smoking Slipper:

BP Butler Flat (Obsessed with mustaches!)

Topshop Vectra Flat

Boat Shoes:

Sperry Top-Sider Bahama Sequined Boat Shoe

Sperry Top-Sider 'Authentic Original' Leather Boat Shoe (Rose gold)

What's your favorite shoe trend? I have to say I am OBSESSED with all of them! :)

Update

Hey guys! I just wanted to do an update since I haven't posted in awhile. First of all, I am so behind on my posts and I am terribly sorry. I just haven't had the time to write posts because of school, moving, and other activities. I'm doing my best to manage my time. Being a freshman in high school is a bigger jump than I anticipated. I created this blog as a hobby so I'm going to be cutting back on how many posts I can do. Education is very important to me. I'm not going to lie- it's not easy to balance school and other activities. Here's a fun fact: I play the piano and flute. So I have those to practice too. I know there are bloggers that post everyday but I am not able to do that. 

There have been some blogs that I really admire like A Beautiful Mess, Amarixe, Michelle Phan, and Wonder Forest. I hope someday that I can build up my blog like how they did. 

I want to thank every one of my followers for supporting me. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to read my blog. Out of billions of people, you found me? I'm flattered. :) I'm not quitting blogging but I am just letting you guys know that I won't be posting as often as before. I initially planned a part 2 school supply haul but I think it's too late now.

If any of you guys are interested in guest posting or have a post request please let me know!

Have a great week!



P.S. I added some links to bloglovin', hellocotton, pinterest, and instagram! 

Guest Post: Favorite Fall Lipsticks!

*Anita and I did some guest posting for each other! Click here to see my Fall Outfit Ideas post.*

Hi everyone!

Fall is coming quicker as some of us want! (I can't wait though!) And this means my lipsticks get darker and browner.

I love switching my pinks and corals to browny, plummy colors. I personally wear lipstick everyday but you could also wear a lipgloss in a similar shade to the lipsticks I'm about to show you. I also know that Maybelline does a Babylips in a lovely plummy color called Grape Wine which gives a nice sheer but dark color.

I know these shades are all kind of similar but they do look more different in real life. The light kind of made them all look a little browny.

left to right:
Maroon (Catrice), Hot Tahiti (MAC), Mauve it over (Revlon), Berry Smoothie (Revlon), Pink Truffle (Revlon)

First, we have Hot Tahiti by Mac. This is a gorgeous dark red with a slight sheen. You can built this up to full opacity or apply it sheer. It's s glaze so it applies like a dream and feels smoothing and moisturizing. 

It has good staying power, but it obviously doesn't stay as long as a matte color would.

This is my go-to red lipstick in the fall/winter time.

sorry, out of focus :(

Next up, we have Mauve it over by Revlon. It's a matte mauve brown beige color. It looks quite natural on the lips because it's not overly shimmery or anything like that.

If you have darker lips though, i would stay away from this because it's almost a bit to light for me and i'm pretty fair.

This lipstick stays on for ages due to the matte finish. The downside is, that it dries out your lips quite a but, so if you suffer from dry lips i wouldn't recommend this! If you wear a lip balm under it, the problem is solved!

Here we have, Maroon by Catrice. This is a dark browny neutral color. It comes of quite dark on the lips but it's still wearable because of the natural color.

It kind of looks like a mixture of Hot Tahiti and Mauve it over as you can see in the photo below.

This lipstick is very moisturizing and stays on quite a while. I have to touch it up a few times during the day though. 

If you love very pigmented lipsticks i would suggest the Catrice ones. They all have really nice color payoff! 

The two last lipsticks are Revlon's lip butters. I've done a full review of these on my blog.
