5 Fall Favorites That Will Make You Froget About Winter Coming

October is almost over and if many of you are in the place I'm in your trying to get everything dine before November 1 and still have fun on halloween.  In this post I'm sharing you my favorite and what I am loving this month.
Fashion

1. American Flag Scarf

I first saw this Scarf on the vineyard but it wasn't until my school had a patriotic day and i started searching for patriotic clothing I saw this scarf. This scarf is from Free People.

2. EOS Blue Berry Acai

Winter would not be complete without a great Chapstick.  But why not start protecting your lips early from those harsh winds.  This Chapstick is the best and is not that expensive I got mine for a dollar from drugstore.com

3. POP- Party pop crayon

I got this lip gloss from a Ispy bag a few months ago.  But it wasn't until this month that I started using it.  I have to say it is the best lip gloss I have ever used.  The colors are great and they last all day.  And I know literally every product says that but this truly does.  I left for school at 7 in the morning and was still showing when I got back from work at 9.

Miscellaneous

4. Candy Corn M&M's

Best Halloween candy, I have to say.  I think you can tell I like these.  I usually don't like white chocolate but the white chocolate used in these "candy Corn" is so good.  

5. Starbursts Candy Corn

Have fun on halloween xoxo-dbc

October Playlist

Everyone has different study habits.  Some people need complete silence while others can only concentrate in a loud room.  Music has always been a way to help to concentrate and focus on the task. So if your cramming for an Ap test or cleaning your room I have the perfect playlist for you.

Rock N Roll- Avril Lavigne

Wake Me up Avicii

One thing about me and music is I overplay it and will not like the song anymore.  I probably haven't bought a song from iTunes in two years.  The last song I bought was skinny love which I loved and would play it on repeat for hours.  My advice for music is to just watch it on youtube or Pandora because you get exposed to so many different bands.  I like this song wake me up because it sounds real.  What I mean by that is when you listen to song you can hear the artists voice and hear the story  that is being told.

 American Girl-Bonnie McKee

Royals-Lorde

True Love ft. Lily Allen-P!nk

Roar Katy Perry

To be honest I'm not the biggest Katy Perry fan because i thought her music was a litter stereotypical pop.  But her new song ha more levels than her pervious songs. And my favorite part of the song is 3/4 of the way through when you think it's going to end but it sings the chorus again.

Brave Sara Barellis

This song pretty much sums up my reason for making this blog.  I wanted for people to read this blog and be inspired to take chances in fashion and take risks.  So BE Brave and do what you want to do.  I want to see everyone be brave because when you don't take chances you miss out on what could be.

Sara Bareilles - Gonna Get Over You

Paramore: Still Into You

Of Monsters and Men- Little Talks

If you are not currently listening to Of Monsters and Men I advise you to start listening to there station on pandora is is truly amazing.

3 Autumn Colors That Will Make You Best Dressed All Season

Most people say that summer is there favorite season but my favorite season is fall.  Fashion changes on a daily basis and trying to keep up is near to impossible. 

1. Cobalt Blue

The thing about lace is it lasts all four seasons.  I have always loved blue the thing about blue is it always looks best with a white top.  That's why everyone wears a white shirt when they get there senior photos done at the beach.

The thing about wearing dresses in the fall or winter is wear tights.  When there's snow on the ground and your walking into school with bare legs it just doesn't make any sense.  Also you will be freezing all day, trust me take the advice.  

2. Maroon

Now to Maroon my favorite fall color.  The reason it's my favorite is because it matches so well with black.  Some fall days it's freezing and you just don't feel like wearing a complicated outfit so you wear all black.  When ever I have one of those days I always wear something with a deep color.  Wearing a bright color takes away from your outfit while wearing a deep color compliments to your outfit.

Yes I understand it's not summer anymore but that doesn't mean you can't wear skirts any more.  Right now i love skater skirts.  There high wasted flare skirts.  But instead of wearing a crop top wear a bright print shirt and tuck it in.  This outfit gives you a great shape.  

3. Emerald

I LOVE Emerald and it's not just because of the Wizard of Oz.  Honestly there was a time I was looking for a emerald prom dress.  The reason I love emerald is because the deep dark green brings out the color of your hair because the color is vibrant.

Fall Floral

Now that it's october many people pack up their summer clothes and store them until next April.  An I agree many of those things should be packed away.  Wearing a crop top during a snow storm doesn't make much sense.  But there in one print that could possibly survive one more season.  I'm talking about floral.  Many people think that floral is just for summer but i want to tell you how you can make some floral work for fall.  Now first all the bright colorful floral is not quite fall.  The floral that does work is the dark vintage looking floral.  The deep reds from the flowers compliment the fall leaves.

Online TJ Maxx

Everyone who knows me knows that TJ Maxx is my favorite place to shop.  The reason is because I can always find something I love under $20.  A few months ago I read an article about them moving there business to online shopping.  Which I thought was a great idea but I wondered how they would get all a comparable store online to their physical stores.  But I was greatly surprised to what the online store turned out to be.  

Strapless Draped Bodice Gown

Tj Maxx is a great place when you need a dress at the last minute and they always have at least one dress for every accession.  After looking through all there dresses most of them where over $50 and those that where under $50 where actually $49.99.

Beaded Neck Sleeveless Blouse

I have to say I love this shirt but not fore $80.  Every time I go to Tj Maxx I have a $20 limit.  If it's over 20 dollars even if only by one I only get it if I love it.  The reason for that is because I'm either very fickle or the most loyal to my clothing.  Last year I got an 80 dollar sweater at Banana Republic for only 10 dollars that i at least wear every two weeks.  Tj Maxx is suppose to be great clothing at Tj Maxx and if I can get a better deal on a sweater at a store that never has great sales. I don't believe there living up to their slogan.  

The final thing I have to say about the new online Tj Maxx is that it is a lot like the store.  Sometimes you have to search and search to find something you like.  But when you find what you like you can not be happier.

Hart Of Dixie

Ok so before I start this post I have to ask you guys a question.  Am I the only one that wants Lemon and Wade to be together.  This episode started off with Zoe deciding to leave Blue Bell forever and staying in New York City with her new boyfriend (aka the creepy guy from dexter).  Then in the end Zoe decided that she want to stay in Blue Bell.

Zoe Hart's Outfit from the season premier of Hart Of  Dixie

Jacket- Aryn K

Necklace Sidra

You may not know this but in this episode Lemon well Jamie King is pregnant.  

In this episode we learned that over the summer Lemon started a "relationship" with meatball.  And then to bother Zoe she told her she was dating Wade.

Lemon's necklace is from J Crew.  The stylist does a great job of dressing there characters to their personality because their outfits always resemble how their felling at that moment.

The Mindy Project Fashion: Music Festival

I knew that boy cut wasn't going to last long on the Mindy Project.  On this episode of the Mindy Project Mindy and her friends from work go to a music Festival where Mindy sports some red highlights.

photos from and ralphlauren.com

In this episode Mindy wears these brown short heeled boots with gold buckles.  The Ralph Lauren boots are not typical Mindy's fashion.  Remember in the first episode when Mindy refused to wear what Danny thought was good for a first date.  In this episode we see Mindy in a more relaxed fashion.

Photos fromimdb.com and bebe.com

With this outfit Mindy wears a red bebe Jacket.  The thing i love about the fashion on this show is every character dresses differently.  Becky and Mindy alone look like there are going to a different event but when you watch the show it all goes together.

Photos frominstagram.com andurbanoutfitters.com

Finally Mindy Finishes this outfit out with firework shorts from urban outfitters.  These shorts are perfect for this outfit because the bright ed jacket brings out the red fireworks in the shorts.  Also the shorts have gold fireworks which match the gold buckles on the boots.

Halloween 2013 The Good, bad, and Scary

I absolutely love Halloween but i can never seem to have a costume I like.  Last year all I did was paint my face and wear a headband with bunny ears.  This year is my last year of trick-or-treating so I'm motivated to make it the best.  My advice is never buy costumes from the store.  There so cheap they will not last till halloween.  Go to tjmaxx or even better a thrift store.  Your only going to be wearing the clothes for a few hours and you could possibly spend less at a thrift store than buying a cheap costume at target.  Lets start out with the good disney costumes.

Alice in Wonderland:Alice

Alice is a perfect Halloween costume, you will never get the awkward question about who your dressed as.  Also this costume is easy to accomplish.  For the white dress go to your local home goods and get a white cooking apron.  For the blue dress you can get a vintage looking dress shirt and a blue skirt.  The best place to get this clothing is at a thrift store because you can always find vintage clothing.  For the large black bow you can go to your local craft store and get a thick black ribbon.  For the black headband you can get a comparable one at Forever 21 for under 5 dollars.

The Mad Hatter

It surprises me that the mad hatter is such a popular costume for women.  Most people would think that the hardest part of this costume to find would be the hat.  Last year I learned that you can make this hat out of a cardboard box.  After you make the hat you can cover it in black fabric and wrap a scarf around it.  For the coat the best place to go would be a thrift store.  All you really need is a long wool coat.  The last part is the bow scarf.  For this I would buy a few yards of fabric and tie it in a bow.

Now I have to tell you about the bad costumes on halloween.  I'm not going to post any photos of the bad costumes because we all know what they are (slutty nurse).  But who am I to say that you can't be a slutty nurse. My advice is to at least wait till your not trick-or-treating to bring out the bad costumes.

The Scary

The Modern Scary Skeleton

This costume is the hardest and easiest costume in my post.  For your outfit you can pretty much wear what ever you want.  In my opinion the reason why the costume looks good is because of the irony.  The model is wearing a girly peaceful dress with a live flower crown but her character is dead.  If you decide to do this costume play up your outfit as alive because it will bring out the makeup.  Now comes the hard part THE MAKEUP.  I have  friend that is extremely food at doing skulls.  If your thinking about doing this for halloween start now after you read this go on youtube and watch a Skull Tutorial.

The Vampire Bride

The vampire is possibly the most destroyed halloween costume.  Why I say that is because of twilight.  Hypothetically vampires are hundreds of years old.  In twilight they were modern clothing and just putting on your school clothes and wearing white makeup is not a costume.  For this costume is get a long black dress and build on it.  It will be easy to go to a craft store and give volume to the end of the dress than to actually find a dress like this in the photo.  Now for the makeup, keep it classic.  Use A foundation that is not white but the lightest color.  For the lips you a dark color and defiantly not red like a dark maroon would be perfect.  Then the last step is to use false eyelashes.

The most important part of halloween is not the costume or how much candy you get it is that you have fun.  So just remember to make the best out of your halloween and just think a little that its a thursday and you have to go to work or school the next day.
