It seems that everyone is doing this tag, and I wanted to join in on the fun :) I love reading these after all.

Styling Products: This changes all the time, but I'm loving Got2be Smoothing Lustre Lotion and Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray

Body Lotion: Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel...this only comes out around Christmas time, but I buy five bottles to stock up! This stuff smells like cake batter <3 Deodorant: Secret Clinical Strength

Fake Tan: None!

Lipstick: All by MAC ~ Blankety, Viva Glam 5, Way to Love

I have been obsessively keeping up with my fashion magazines as of late, and while browsing Barnes & Noble's vast selection of In Style, Glamour, and People, I have come up with a list of trends that we will all be seeing in stores this Fall. Here are my favorites:

* Ruffles - I am most excited about this, because I love the femininity of ruffles
* Bold color - Red, purple, even neon pink! Not sure if I can pull off the last one
* Lace - On everything from cardigans, dresses, and even accessories
* Vintage inspired jewelry - Fashion always looks to the past
* Animal print - I recently bought a leopard print cardigan
* Platform shoes - Much easier to walk in without toppling over!

These are just a few key pieces that I noticed in all of the magazines. Of course, i always say "Wear what makes you happy." Or, pick and choose from the trends that you like and are the most comfortable in.

Thank You for stopping by!
