Classic style from a trusted company–we’ll take it, and we bet you will, too. FRYE’s Carmen boot has the look, with the added lavishness of beautifully burnished leather and a stacked leather heel and platform. Check em’ out!
Had to go half a size up, I love this boot- but had to send back the 6.5 because it was way too tight- I went half a size up to a 7 and there is more room for my toes and the boot shaft is not as tight too.
These boots are gorgeous! The workmanship is what you would expect from Frye and the style does not let you down either. The boots look great with skirts and jeans so you can expect to get a lot of use out of them for the price.

Many women stick to their makeup- as in brand-wise and style. But there are already outdated styles of makeup that need to be upgraded especially now that it’s already the 21st century. Though some familiar makeup styling still exist, such as those that call for dark lips and eyes, the makeup companies have also upgraded their color schemes to match the ever-changing trends in fashion. This year’s fall trend, the colors that made it through the runways and red carpets are contrasting colors- dramatic and deep hues against natural and very light backgrounds.
The Eyes
As mentioned earlier, bold colors are in for makeup and that doesn’t stop there because you can also go for dark shades of eye shadow such as purple, earthy colors like browns and forest greens. Bronze and gold and other metallic colors are also hot for this fall.
Smokey eye look is still in and you can experiment with the dark eye shadows with black eyeliner and mascara- the darker and bolder, the better.
Voluminous mascara is definitely a hit for this fall. Flaunting the eyes with thick, full lashes are always in.
The Eyebrows
Natural and bold eyebrows as in these days so don’t over-pluck or over-sculpt them. Just let your full, natural brows as is and if you want to trim them, just make it minimal.
The Foundation
Again, just keep it light and minimal. For foundations, it is best to use light or natural colors to keep your facial complexion natural. Avoid using too heavy foundation especially the cake-type because they’re quite heavy on the skin and don’t look natural. It is more preferable to use the powder foundation since it leaves a natural feel and look on the skin.
The Blush
Powdered blush of natural colors are in. Enough of the deep pinks and oranges because they’re a thing of the past. If you notice, it’s always the eyes and lips that matter when it comes to makeup, the cheeks need only minimal blush to make them look natural.
The Lips
Dark, red lipstick is in for the fall of 2009. The brightest of reds and berries are the best colors for the fall this year because it’s the lips that make an impact when you look at a made-up face. The lips or the eyes are the focal points of the face whenever you look at them, so might as well flaunt them.
You might be put off using deep purple lipstick, but it is one of the colors that are in right now. Don’t think runway models are the only ones who can pull it off, just make sure you use complimenting eye colors for this shade. However, use a lighter shade for the eyes if you want to focus on your lips only.
The Nails
Berries, purples, metallic and dark colors are in for the nails. They compliment your makeup and adds drama to your look. However, consider the event and location if you wish to use these bold shades. It’s advisable not to use them in the office or when doing business
The trend for fall 2009 for makeup is bold, colorful, fun and a bit of drama. Remember to use only one focal point on your face and it’s either the eyes of lips. When you use a dark shade for the eyes, natural colors for the lips is better, and vice versa.

Fashion in the 80′s broke the mold and took big steps away from traditional styles. There was big hair, accessories galore, nautical themes and layered clothing as essential components. This year’s runway was full of all these components. You’ve got the nautical trend, layering tees, the bangles, and the bigger your hair is the better. We see it all the time, styles come back decades later it odd haunting forms that are incorporated into current styles creating a nostalgic feeling from yesteryear. People make emotional connections with their fashion and it holds fond memories of special or not so special parts of or lives. Leather, metal, chains and black were dominant in the punk scene of fashion. I’m not talking runway fashion now I mean what you saw on the streets, what musicians and teenagers wore. Well now it’s coming out on the runway and it is smoking hot.
On Elle’s website you can find 80’s style that showed up on the runway for fall fashion week. Another trend was work wear for women featuring broad shoulders, forgiving fabrics, the masculine pant suit with a modern look and bold hairstyles. The designers are targeting a market that is slow right now and must make clothing that working woman can wear. By giving women the style of clothing they desire for work the purchase of the clothing is justified as a necessity for work. The emphasis of evening gowns and cocktail dresses just don’t appeal to the working woman who spends more time at home now. It is power dressing in the fullest, a women can show her sense of power through her attire.
Demanding attention through your look, respect with your boldly defined eyes and defying gravity with your big hair it is a fierce look. You can see an example of the look in the photo I have posted courtesy of the mindfood website covering the 1980s power dress trend. The empowerment of women began in the sixties when they strayed away from the safe dress and threw on a chic short dress and a pair of go-go boots. Then in the seventies the trend went further to become more risqué and the population started fighting for their rights. Now the eighties are when the clothing scene really took a twist with bold new style and the masculine pant suit. Of course when Madonna threw on the pant suit the trend was really set off. Fall fashion week was real interesting this year with the jump back into the 80’s with a modern twist. It is cool to bring back the styles but the designers took it to the next level by adding a modern flair. I know that the spring fashion included a lot of pastels and the summer look kind of went back to the nautical theme. The nautical theme was one that was popular in the eighties as well.
You can look at some old Gucci pieces circa 1980’s such as the classic doctor bag in one of my other hubs and find the colors to be of nautical decent. Then some of the summer styles that are no longer in the boutiques for 2009 were also reminiscent of the nautical colors of navy blue, red, and white. Of course white is just a classic color that will never go out of style but red and navy blue are not always as popular as they are when the nautical theme comes into play. All in all I like what I’m seeing in fashion trends and I anxiously wait to see what comes next. The eighties had some great pieces but there were also some awful trends that came with it. It is as if the designers are fixing the bad to make a new 80’s era of clothing that we can all be proud to wear.
I welcome the past and future fashion trends the designers got to keep it interesting. They are doing it in a big way. There are so many talented designers out there with so many ideas. We really are lucky to live in an age where there is so much diversity in our choices of clothing
