Do you wear lipstick?
 I am not one to always walk out of the door with a painted pout. If I am wearing lipstick, it is either a nude or a rosy pink color. I find when I sample “try on” bright bubble-gum pink or fuchsia, I feel it looks a little over the top. I am more of a less is more kind of a gal; minimalist at its best. When choosing lipsticks I think more about complimenting my skin tone than contrast. I do, however, envy those of you who can rock the red lips. Some of my friends look absolutely elegant and stunning when they do. I am unfortunately tainted by my dance competition days, so wearing red looks more like costume makeup than old Hollywood glam. 
The irony of me barely ever wearing lipstick is one of my favorite things to do is to go to SAKS or Bloomingdales and play beauty parlor while trying on different shades. Then I will usually use whatever I buy to write cute messages on my bathroom mirror…. makes total sense I know. 
Anyway, a shade I do put on, will not wipe off right before I leave the house, and actually re-apply during the evening is Chanel BOY. Chanel is my go-to for lipsticks, but I have been wanting to try Tory Burch’s new line.
What are some of your favorite go-to shades? What brands are your favorite?

When it comes to my fall, especially my winter, wardrobe I tend to go all monochromatic in black on black on black. I know I dress like a glow stick in the summer, but when it comes to the cold temperature days, I bring out my dark side. 
This fall, one of the trends I keep seeing (and loving) is a burgundy/oxblood color. This is perfect for you fellow moody dressers to add some color to your wardrobe without it being too blinding for the eyes, and for all of you rainbow bright dressers, a great way to wear a darker shade. 
 Burgundy isn’t a color I currently own, but I do find it to be beautiful and elegant, so I want to make it my mission to add it to my collection.

Everyone has a few favorite designers and brands that is their go-to season after season. For me it’s usually J.Crew or Tory Burch, but lately I have been obsessing over everything from Theory. The clothes are tailored and simple, making them timeless pieces. Last year I purchased this peplum (styled here) from them and haven’t looked back since!
