Maroon - The Finale

And finally...the way to wear maroon jeans like a true diva. Wrestle out your fur vest, ankle boots and over-sized purse of luxury and get out on the town. This outfit will keep your warm (perfect for my Chicago and NYC gal pals) but is still trendy. Plus, who isn't looking for an excuse to wear their favorite grey sweater out. Apparently you can have your cake and eat it too...as long as your cake is a sweater and eating it too means wearing that bad boy with heels. You get the picture.

Maroon - Take Two

There is, of course, a much more casual way to wear maroon jeans as well. Here are some cute options for when you are feeling funky fresh and want to bust out your Converse sneakers. The perfect little outfits for a day of errands, hitting up the farmer's market or doing what we all do best...shopping. 

Maroon Must-Have

My roommate just bought a new pair of the perfect fall bottoms: maroon jeans. Now, she is wondering what exactly to pair them with. So, I've added this perfect day-to-night guide. However, I'd like to add that I believe the "day" outfit would be great with heels and the leather jacket or sans jacket completely. Either way, these jeans are the perfect fall shade and a must-have in our apartment. Job well done, roomie.

Call Me Maybe, Copper

And here we have it...my newest polish obsession. Stepped out of my comfort zone with China Glaze but very happy to do that for any polish brand that has an entire collection dedicated to The Hunger Games. This coppery goodness, appropriately named Harvest Moo, is glittery madness. 

Metallic Madness

I'm going to keep rolling with the metallic madness. If I'm going to start out this new week, I'm going to need something sassy to help get me motivated. I do believe a new polish job will do. This OPI shade, Number One Nemesis, is the perfect mix of fall shade and metallic. Don't be shy...branch out with a equally as intriguing shade.

Lipstick Lover

Whoa obnoxious photo. But how else does one get across their point of how marvelous their oxblood lipstick is? Whatever. If you have lips made for lipstick, use them. This particular color is by Estee Lauder and is called Electrified. Who comes up with these names? Electrified clearly sounds like a hot pink. Either way, cheers to this shade. 

On Wednesdays We Wear Oxblood

Sometimes you just gotta roll with the trends...thank God this trend isn't painful (to look at and physically) like butterfly clips or braided chokers. Oxblood is big time this fall and the best part is...it looks great on everyone. Find ways to incorporate it on your lips, as your purse, in your skirt or like me...on my little tootsies. 

All That Glitters is Gold

Guess I can't exactly continually post on how trendy metallics are and then not buy metallic polish. Ulta suckered me in with some Buy One, Get One deal and voila...new polish. I must say, not only does this nail polish stay on your nails longer without chipping but it's kinda (super) glamorous. I'd suggest hitting up your closest OPI retailer. 

Midnight in Moscow

It's that time of the year. Whether you are in south Florida, LA, Chicago, NYC...it's time for the dark polish takeover. Of course it's too hot for fur vests, sweaters and world's cutest earmuffs but the least I can do is slap on some licorice-esqe nail polish and go with the seasons...and of course by "the least I can do" I mean...the least my favorite nail artist, Yueng, can do. Kudos, Yeung. They are flawless.

Total Trifecta

This clutch is the trifecta...red, animal print and gold hardware. The Blair Clutch, by Rebecca Minkoff, is the ultimate day-to-night transformation piece. Don't deny that you just fell in love. Just when you thought all you needed in life was to find the perfect man, I throw this clutch at you and your realize your soulmate is actually a purse. Curveball. 

Falling into Fall Fashion

These boots were made for walking...literally...they are comfortable and have minimal heel. It's time to bust out light jackets and boots. My favorite part of this outfit is the necklace. Monograms are always precious but his necklace is especially cute. Splash on one of my favorite perfumes, Miss Dior Cherie by Dior and the perfect fall shade of nail polish to finish off the ensemble. 

Colors of Fall 2012

I haven't always been one for following rules. But, when it comes to obeying the colors of the season...rules are rules. Tangerine is naturally incorporated because it's the color the year but I'm extra pumped about pink sneaking its way into the mix. Not to mention, the ultramarine green is my favorite color...ever. My best friend, Brelyn, and her fabulous fashionista mother are going to be screaming from the rooftops with joy about chartreuse. It's their staple family color and boy do they own it. Mix these shades into your fall wardrobe because like I said...rules are rules.

Gone Grey

Thanks to tropical storm Isaac, the skies are grey and so are my nails. I'm easing into fall with this clay-colored polish. This is still a fairly unexpected hue and a perfect break from the usual pinks and reds. 

Everything Essie

Looking for the perfect polish for fall? As always, Essie has created the perfect collection for the approaching cooler months. Stylenomics will be on my little fingers in a matter of time. Bold and beautiful.

Rainbow Rockin'

If you wouldn't do slightly sketchy things to be wearing this outfit right now, then...I am not sure we could be friends. These orange pants are major. This Prada bag makes me want to cry it's so beautiful. These pumps are the fiercest thing since..ever. Color blocking gone fabulous. 

Sassy in Slingbacks

What's better than amazing heels? Absolutely nothing. If you're looking for a way to sass up an outfit, toss on some heels with built-in personality. These heels above are to die. Not too pointy of a toe, incorporates the color of the year (tangerine) and are absolute perfection. These are shoes that I would never want to take off...odds that I'd even vacuum in them? Pretty high. 

Plum's So Posh

Fall is just around the corner which means new trends and a whole new color palette to work with. I am most excited about this plum lipstick, which I have been shamelessly wearing well before fall. My to-go lady at Sephora had this shade waiting on me last time I stopped in. Of course I thought it was too intense at first but now I look for excuses to wear it. Makeup artists say play up green eyes with purple liner or shadow...my vote is for plum lipstick.
