Wish you could keep up to speed with Autumn/Winter trends but are too busy to be bothered? Here are a few ‘brag-worthy’ beauty bites that are MVP and currently en vogue.
* Find a Fringe
Without going head on hippy embrace this season’s folk trend with a fringe handbag. Be sure to purchase a quality piece to keep the tassels from looking tired and tattered. You can find these all over now in various colours.
* Pick Posh Pennies
These popular pointy flats are comfortable enough for errands and officially office-worthy too. They are lady-like and come in many styles.
* Blur Lip Lines
Softly blur your pout with an eyeliner smudger. This gradient look is natural and not too bold. Maybelline carries a new product called ‘Colour Blur’ made just for this trend and comes in 10 matte shades for the season.
* Poncho Perfect
The poncho is the new cardigan and will wrap you up for any occasion. Pick up a tribal print, a tartan or any autumn colour to give a relaxed carefree look for your wardrobe.
* Fifty Shades
The trend now is to wear an outfit with multiple shades of the same colour. So pick a colour and just vary the tone. Ladies are also having their nails done the same way. Have your aesthetician paint each nail a different shade from the same palette. My sister, Charlene, had it done in a nude palette and it looked amazing. She glammed it up even further and painted each ring finger with glitter polish.
* Haute High Waist
Hurl away the hip-huggers and try the retro high-waist fit that is stylish and surprisingly flattering. Add a belt and give it the new ‘side tuck’ for double trend points.
* Wide Leg Culottes
This look will change depending on the material and the choices are endless now. Pair them with high boots, leather trainers or flats. Go for lux fabrics or tweed for autumn.
* Track Pants
I know it is hard to think of making this fitness staple part of your wardrobe but this is now the highest searched fashion item on the Internet. Wear a quality pair with a slouch sweater and pointy strap heels.
* Fuller Nude Lips
Line your lips with a nude pencil by going over the edges a bit. Fill in the whole lip with a neutral lip shade pencil and then finish off with a glossy lipstick.
