Plaid — Channel your inner private school student and don plaid skirts, trousers/ slacks, and minis. Pair with a form-fitting faux leather top, mini blazer, and overthe-knee boots.

Leather/Faux Leather — This is the season to live out your dream of being a rock star. Leather, especially the faux variety, is ALL in this fall. From dresses to skirts to leggings to trousers to halter tops to corsets, this super-versatile, edgy material seems to never go out-of-style and can easily complement ANY ensemble. A great way to balance more edgy pieces is to pair with a more conservative top or bottom. For instance, if you’re dying to don a laced-up corset, pair with wide-leg trousers and black or white Oxford platform shoes.

Cargo Jeans — Cargo jeans have made a comeback on the runways. Remember when J. Lo was seen sporting the trendy bottoms with sky-high stilettos circa 2001 when she and Ben made a go at it the first time? Hopefully you didn’t donate your pair to Goodwill.

Catsuits with a Twist — It’s one and done! Form-fitting one-pieces have taken center stage on the catwalks this year, but they’re more sophisticated and office-friendly than the traditional sleek and sexy types from the 80s. Not that we don’t hold a warm place in our hearts for THOSE catsuits, too.

Maxi Dresses/Skirts — Thought maxi dresses and skirts were just for the summer? Think again. Maxi EVERYTHING is having a moment this fall and that includes floral-print dresses, sequined skirts, and other floor-grazing essentials.

Flared, bootcut jeans are making a re-emergence, while skinnies are saying “so long.” For now. Get a leg-up on the much-awaited return of this denim style and pair with bejeweled, white cowboy booties. Yee-haw!

High-rise/wide-leg denim — Ultra-high-rise

and very wide-legged denim ala the 70s is here to make your fall more comfortable and cozier, especially after indulging during the upcoming Thanksgiving feast. You’ll thank us for this trendy tip.

Ripped Jeans —

Deconstructed jeans, especially of the baggy, boyfriend, loose-fitting variety is holier than thou this fall and a great complement to all your graphic tees. If you want to push the envelope and make an edgy fashion statement, wear black fishnets underneath. But, stick to biker boots instead of heels to balance the sexy look.

Chunky Cardigan Sweater Dresses — This

fall, think BIG. Really big. Essentials spotted on runways suggest oversized silhouettes. And the sweater dress from 2013 has returned, except this time in a chunky cardigan, cozy style.

Studded Belts — It’s the

return of the big-haired, video vixen’s ultimate staple accessory ala 1985. Remember, leather is also trending this season. See where we’re going here?

Pleated Micro Mini Skirts — We’re not skirting the issue, but hemlines are getting higher – way higher. So, don’t skip leg day at the gym because micro-mini pleated skirts are here to flaunt those fab, fit pins of yours! And they go perfectly with the essential fall staple – the chunky, oversized sweater. It’s all about balance.

Oxford Platform Shoes — These leather, thick-soled flats are great to give you some extra height when donning those wide-legged trousers or jeans. We’re loving the black, stylish, grungy ones by Dr. Marteens.

Tattered Staples — If you need any shred of evidence, just peek the fall runways to see leggy, stone-faced models sporting oversized, tattered sweaters, tanks, skirts, pants/jeans, and more. Frayed hemlines work, too.

Overzealous Outwear — Ultra oversized puffers, car coats, teddy coats, as well as to-the-floor faux furs and “dusters” (robes) is heating up the big chill this year.

Over-the-Knee Boots — The sophisticated little sister to the sexier thigh-high boot, the over-the-knee offers a touch of sex appeal without going over-the-top…just over-the-knee! These stem stunners pair perfectly with the trending micro minis, providing fashion-forward warmth and functionality. The silver metallic ones will give your wardrobe an out-ofthis world appeal.

and of course, Shoes!

Be a Glow-digger: Beauty Tips & Product Picks Every GoGirl Needs to Get With

GoGirl Writer Nicole Gratson photo credit Todd Liebman

New season, new skincare routine re-do! It’s time to re-do your beauty to-do’s, GoGirls!

When the temps start to dip, be sure you’re armed and ready to turn the heat up on your beauty routine with these must-have product picks and cool-temp tips sure to keep you glowing and gorgeous all the way to spring!

Make a Clean Break

Cool weather can wreak havoc on skin. Your lightweight, summer cleanser isn’t going to cut it come winter. If you were using a gel-based cleanser in the summer, switch to a cream-based, balm, or oil cleanser to not only deep clean and de-gunk the junk from your pores, but to hydrate skin, leaving your complexion clean, calm, comfortable, and beautifully balanced. Try DHC Deep Cleansing Oil ($29) or Pixie Beauty Rose Cream Cleanser ($18) and come clean this winter.

Holy Hydration!

No matter your skin type – oily, combo, normal, dry, sensitive – you need to moisturize daily, especially in the cooler months when there is less humidity and moisture in the air. Indoor heating doesn’t help, either, as the harsh heat can suck skin dry of its natural moisture levels and rob your soft, supple skin of its daily dew. Lock in vital, lipid-loving moisture with creams rich in ceramides and botanical oils, such as coconut, argan, jojoba, and almond seed. We’re loving Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream ($64) popularized by

Beau t y

her famous homemade concoction she would use on the countless visages of supermodels before makeup application for their unmistakable plump glow. And remember your skin doesn’t stop at your jawline. While in the shower, reach for a hydrating, rich cleansing body oil that leaves skin clean and glistening, like L’Occitane Shower Oil, $29. The soft, buttery, almond scent is seductively intoxicating. Before drying off, slather on its sexy skin sister, the L’Occitane Almond Smooth and Beautifying Supple Skin Oil ($50) that instantly sinks into skin, leaving it beautifully scented and temptingly soft from head to tippy toe.

Pucker Up to This

Polish your pout and protect it from peeling and flakes with a natural, sugar-based lip scrub like the Rose Lip Polish by French Girl Organics ($20). Just a dab does the trick. After wiping away with a clean, dry tissue, slather on some Mario Badescu Rose Lip Balm ($8) to “dew” the deal. The thick, creamy consistency yields a subtle pout-perfecting shine that can be worn over or under lipstick. Don’t worry about constant re-applying, as this stuff really sticks around!

Practice Safe Sun

Vigilantly protecting your skin from the unforgivable rays of the sun is a 365 day-a-year beauty must that ensures you will win the war on wrinkles later in life. Just launched, lovely, and luminous, the COOLA Dew Good Illuminating Serum Sunscreen with Probiotic Technology SPF 30 ($46) will enrobe your skin with lightweight, hydrating protection against sun, pollution, and blue light, plus a weightless veil of pearlescent, light-reflecting shimmer is sure to boost your foundation or is perfect on its own. This double-duty beauty pick infused with skinstrengthening probiotics not only acts a makeup primer to grip your go-to foundation, but also allows you to skip the highlighter altogether.

A 1.1 oz. bottle will set you back $46, but is the ultimate skincare, sun care, and makeup multitasker all in a single step, effectively eliminating about 3 steps to your morning makeup routine, so there’s that.

Do Your ‘Do Some Good

Heads-up! Keep your beloved, beachy waves and tousled tresses even while partaking in more autumnal stuff like donning cute ankle booties, chunky sweaters, and sipping on PSLs. The cult-fave Cleansing Volumizing Paste with Rose Extracts by legendary hair brand Christophe Robin ($53) offers a truly unique shampoo experience. Part dry shampoo and part scalp scrub, this floral scented clay-to-foam shampoo effectively removes buildup from scalp while leaving hair effortlessly texturized. Think bedhead Brigitte Bardot locks without all the time-consuming secondary products, such as root lift, texturizing spray, dry shampoo, beach spray, etc. With this innovative shampoo, you just wash, air dry or blow dry, and you’re all set! It’s next-morning, messy mane without the hassle, plus the light, heavenly rose scent will instantly transport you to sundrenched days spent frolicking in the botanical gardens or impromptu picnics in the park. Follow with the Christophe Robin Delicate Volumising Conditioner ($39) to keep tresses from unwanted tangles and twists. Finish with a few drops of Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil ($43) on the ends to keep strands shiny and perfectly piece-y.

Eye-Conic Products to Prettify Peepers

The eyes have it when you layer a tiny-sized amount of a supercharged eye serum spiked with next-generation retinol and rejuvenating peptides like Verso Super Eye Serum ($85) underneath your favorite, more hydrating eye cream for a comprehensive anti-aging approach to keeping your precious peepers looking refreshed, recharged, and revitalized. Try following up with First Aid Beauty Niacinamide Brightening Eye Cream ($36) packed with caffeine and coffee seed extract to instantly de-puff, while pearlescent particles brighten and beautify. Hyaluronic acid hydrates, smooths, and plumps for a more youthful-looking eye contour. Like the aforementioned sunscreen option, this multitasking eye cream doubles as an undereye corrector and brightener, eliminating another step in your morning makeup routine.

For an endless, sun kissed summer look you’ll love, try this dewy skin duo. Add a few drops of buildable, blendable liquid bronzer, like vegan and crueltyfree Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops ($36) to your forehead, temples, lower cheeks, nose, and chin. Then, flaunt a flush of blush by topping with one to two drops of its sexy sister, Drunk Elephant O-Bloos Rosi Drops ($36) to apples of cheeks. Now, you’ll never have to see summer fading into the sunset again. It’s the best bronzer and blush duo under the sun since Nars introduced its iconic Blush/Bronzer Duo in Orgasm and Laguna ($24$42) almost 20 years ago!

Skincare Accessories/Add-on’s

The following is a list of some complexion-perfecting suggestions to give your fall skin and beauty routine a little extra TLC. These tried-and-true treats will help tackle your most common complexion woes this winter and are touted by the most skin-obsessed amongst us, myself included:

• Medik8 Crystal Retinal ($53 and up) – Groundbreaking retinol that works up to 11 times faster than traditional retinol and is available in progressive strengths. Start out by applying a few drops to face a few nights a weeks after cleansing and before moisturizer, then working up to every night.

• BioBare Vitamin C, B, E & Ferulic Serum ($49) – A medicalgrade, daily vitamin C serum containing 20% of L-Ascorbic

Acid, the most stabilized vitamin C available, plus ferulic acid to boost efficacy. Just a few drops to freshly cleansed skin every morning before moisturizer and sunscreen will give you the glow you’re going for. Developed by a leading dermatologist, this social media skincare star and winner of “5 Best Vitamin C Serums” by www. skincarebrandsreviewscom has a cult following, glowing reviews, and will not leave you with sticker shock like most vitamin C serums on the market.

• Mario Badescu Almond and Honey Face Scrub ($15) – Another doubleduty beauty find, this scrub and clay mask in-one purifies pores, while leaving skin beautifully balanced and deeply hydrated, unlike many other kaolin clay masks out there. Slather a nice thin layer on freshly cleansed skin, leave for 10-15 minutes, then rinse well. Pat dry and follow with your nighttime moisturizer and/or facial oil to really give your skin the VIP treatment. A sizeable, 4 oz. jar will only set you back $15 and will last you all winter long.

As you can see, I love products that brilliantly blend makeup and skincare into one hardworking, multitasking product that corrects, protects, hydrates, and heals all in a single, skin-saving step! Not only am I saving time and money, but valuable vanity space. Versatility is key to keeping your skin, hair, body, and beauty looking youthful without compromising product integrity. Thoughtfully formulated hybrid products are true game changers without sacrificing good skincare. Now, you can truly have it all.
