Fall Essentials

What does fall remind you of? For me its, Pumkin spiced latte, lot of layers, autumn foliage, early evenings, and rich colors. As we slowly transit into the colder winters, fall provides a perfect opportunity to catch the last warm rays of the summer. Here in India, fall is also the season of festivals.

 

1. Dark/berry-hued lip: Fall is synonymous with dark/berry hued lipstick, and makes wearing a vampy lip color socially acceptable. My choice of this fall essential is a lipstick from MAC, Rebel, a pretty mid tone deep purple. This shade is especially flattering on tan skin tones.

Price: $15 or INR1450

2. Mascara: Keep your eyes clean and let lips do the talking. Are they even real, I mean Benefit They're Real mascara, gives my lashes insane lift, without even having to use a curler.

Price: $24

3. Moisturizer: Skin needs some TLC, and what better way than the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense moisturizer. Fall sips up moisture from the face. Make sure, you are hydrated inside and out. Keep  your dry patches at bay by using the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense moisturizer. A tiny dollop is sufficient to give the face, a hydrated look.

Price: INR 3300 (Flipkart) or $39

4. Beanie/Layers (Kimono): Layering is a key trend for the fall. Layer using light weight cardigans/kimonos, or you can use woolen knits to keep warm when the temperature drops. This pom pom beanie is a favorite from Forever 21.

Price: 800 or $12

5. Chunky Bohemian Statement Necklace:A statement neck piece would add zing to the otherwise monotonous monochrome outfits. This boho neck piece will jazz up any outfit in an instant. Again, this neck piece is from Forever 21.

Price: INR 350 (Sales) or $5

6. Boots: I don't own any, but boots are an indispensable part of fall. This boots from Steve Madden can be styled in a million ways. It adds a rough edge to the otherwise plain outfit.

Price: $230

7. Candle: Fall is my favorite season for burning candles. This candle, Leaves from Bath and Body Works has a perfect balance of spiciness and warmth. The throw is moderate and is perfect for burning on a lazy evening while you cuddle up in your lazy nook, reading a book.

Price: $4.50
