SEPTEMBER 2011

It's FINALLY September!

Below are clippings from my September Style File. I can't help but feel overly giddy right now, I love everything about fall! Wearing layers (going to have to adjust them a bit since we moved to Arizona from the beautiful Colorado) ok light layers. Try this Arizona: sheer top (leopard perhaps) under a leather vest, with shorts or skirt and wedge boots. In Colorado I would have worn that sheer leopard top with leather leggings and the wedge boots or a skirt and knee-length boots and added a blazer, a light trench, or a leather jacket for evening I can wear that soon here right? Okay, I'll be realistic maybe by late October? I'll be visiting my fabulous friends in Denver at the end of the month, definitley then!

J.Crew MacAlister Wedge Boots
Shift into fall these are wear-alls,
meaning they are the perfect fall accessory to
winterize dresses, skirts, shorts, AND pants.

Falling into love everyday is the only way,

AUGUST 2011

MAC Nail Polish in Dubonnet

1. Anthropology Instant Classics Tee, Stripes

2. White blazer (Record heat outside, bone chilling AC inside, the fashionista is chicly prepared.)

3. Jeeyun Ha Designs 14-karat gold-vermeil feather earrings (While the heat is on, these are the only accessory you need going into fall - any occasion, any ensemble, or even if you want a more chic-lux look against those trendy feather hair pieces.)

4. Ask your hair stylist for lowlights; it’s time to prepare those summer-locks for fall! (Consider fall colors: caramel, maple, cinnamon, coffee.)

5. TRESemme Thermal Creations - Heat Tamer Spray (Minimizes heat damage, leaving hair feeling silky soft. Never expose unprotected hair to intense heat.)

6. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream (Retinol can be purchased over the counter, the stronger form is retinoid - which must be prescribed. This helps skin stay polished between masks and other treatments.)

7. MAC Nail Polish in Dubonnet (“Oldie but goodie!“ Something about August makes me think of back-to-school-red delicious apples. Every time I see my nails, I get giddy for what is soon to come - FALL!)

8. Adidas by Stella McCartney Leaf-embossed yoga mat (…AND it’s PINK! What isn’t more motivating than that?! Feel good, enjoy life!)

9. The Republic of Tea - Blueberry Green Tea (Sip this tea warm and tastes like a blueberry muffin; on ice this tea is as refreshing as a berry smoothie. A portion of proceeds from the sale of these products directly benefits the Prostate Cancer Foundation.)

10. Hot Girls Pearls (It’s not getting cool soon enough… but I am! Enjoy a hot afternoon delight!)
　

Fall is no longer around the corner, it is merely at the end of the block! The only thing getting me through this blazing heat is the anticipation of burning fall scented candles, feathers and leathers, dark nail polish, heavier eye-liner, colorful leaves, and honey crisp apples. If you have not picked your fall palette or repaired your boots from last year’s catwalk, now is the time to do the ‘fall boogey’. Refresh your skin from summer’s edge, keeping the love-glow of course, for the truly chic are always the first to emerge into the new season.

May the heat not get the best of you,
Kyndol Castrilli
