How to Wear Pastels for Fall...without looking like an easter egg


If that is a question then my response is - Ahh Bien Sur! once you have picked you two favorite tones mine is mint and ballet slipper pink follow the three simple rules to chic...


1) Avoid getting bitten by little kids and not looking like Cotton candy on a stick by adding an earthy accessory that is more rich and earthy in tones, case in point this cloche in a rich merlot tone. It breaks the monotony of powdery tones without clashing, in fact it is also great to balance neons, wait you already knew that!


 2. Pastel in the day time calls for a casual look so keep it simple with vibrant flats, a jewel toned necklace, and neon belt, picking highly pigmented colors to break the pastels is so much more fun than doing flesh toned accessories.



3. Draw focus on your eyes by smoking them up, pastel makeup on the eyes would get too matchy-matchy, so line your inner rim and lash line with a soft smoky kohl pencil and blend blend blend away!


Now jump for joy you are an expert at wearing pastels for fall...are you inspired to mix pastels in your fall wardrobe too? do tell....

Fall comforts... what are some of yours?, how about you close your eyes, put your head back on the chair just far enough to not tip over and dream dream dream...

Mine are soft billowy chunky bright scarfs wrapped around your neck loosely, rich timeless Cognac boots, silky blouses, a hot cup of Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Coffee or my personal guilty pleasure - the Salted Caramel Latte, walks on the sidewalks carpeted with rust and ochre leaves and the feverish anticipation for the Holiday season where radio songs gradually change to red nose and chestnut roasting themes, and offices usually humming on full steam steadily get less productive each day leading up to the grand loss of productivity that peaks around the food coma of thanksgiving dinners.... you get the picture...

Are you feeling like fall already...thank god its Friday right? here's to the most decadent season of them all!
