Halloween is only a little over two weeks away and it’s time to get into the “holiday” spirit! A fun way to do so is through your look. Orange is one of the most popular colors for Halloween, so why not incorporate the color into your look. Achieve this by painting your nails orange, or, wearing orange eyeshadow. Remember not to overdo it; make sure the rest of your makeup is mostly neutral. Halloween is also a good excuse to try out those trendy dark colors!
I’ll go trick-or-treating if I can score any of these products!
1. Calvin Klein Purple Variation Eyeshadow Quad – Great quad for a complete vampy eye look.
2. L’Oreal HIP Eyeshadow – Good quality and colors for the price.
3. N.Y.C Long Wearing Nail Polish in Time Square Tangerine Creme – A bargain selling around a buck a pop!
4. HALLOWEEN For Women By JESUS DEL POZO – Bought this for a friend once. It’s strong but smells really nice. Plus it’s by Jesus so it’s got to be good.
5. Philosophy Haunted House Trio – I bet the caramel apple smells good enough to eat.

When it comes to shoes, I used to not give a damn. Sure, I liked them, but I wasn’t a “shoe girl” with 50+ pairs. Now that I’ve become more fashion savvy, I can’t help but lusting after photos of shoes in magazines and all over the internet.
I’m in love with shoes I’ve been seeing this Fall season—especially heels! From pairs that are dramatically embellished to funky shaped, Fall heels are sure to make any outfit. Now, I know a lot of you may ask yourself “What are those outer space looking things…?” I’ll say this right now, if I had the money and a place to wear them I’d proudly rock any of the heels pictured below. Hell, I get stared at when I wear my pointed toe pumps, so why not make the most of it?
1. Robert Clergerie, 2. Bebe, 3. Miu Miu, 4. Devi Kroell, 5. Prada, 6. Cesare Paciotti, 7. Rodarte, 8. Pierre Hardy, 9. Nicholas Kirkwood.

While deeply engaged in the September issue of InStyle magazine (one of my new favorite mags), my page flipping came to a halt when I came across an article entitled “Celebrity Designer Mary-Kate Olsen. ” In the article MK answers questions about her new line, Elizabeth and James and her fashion inspirations.
I personally have a love/hate relationship with MK’s style. Sometimes she looks chic, and other times she just ends up being a fashion victim. Either way, I admire her for taking risks and being a fashion fire-starter.
Here’s the interview:
What’s the difference between the two lines?
The Roe is at a designer level and represents classic chic; Elizabeth and James is more accessible, contemporary and playful. Both are collaborations, but the the Row is Ashley’s baby. I concentrate more on Elizabeth and James, and there are pieces in it that are based on clothes I already have.
Did you avoid using your own name so people wouldn’t think it was just another celebrity fashion line?
Both Ashley and I know that this line is strong enough to appeal to people without needing our name on it. Good clothing sells itself. Funny enough, Elizabeth and James are the names of our sister and brother, but we just wanted to reflect the feminine and masculine idea.
