Beauty-fuls: We heart Fall Beauty Trends

Woooohooooo!

Hello crispy cold air! We (kinda) missed you...well we missed throwing on leggins and Uggs as a uniform and beanies as an official hairstyle..so welcome back ;)

You know what we missed just as much as cashmere jammies and leggins and fireside cocoa?...

Fall beauty trends!!

Yup it may sound silly or even slightly vapid but hey...we are girls...there is nothing wrong with wanting to feel more beautiful and playing dress up...

And as we have told you before...in times of financial instability (whoa! super smart!) make up sales and the sales of red lipstick go up!

Which brings us to the first trend for Fall beauty 2009...

Red lips...

YSL

So sensual, so sexy so glamorous and classic...and they are back!

Nothing can make you look more put together and RTG then throwing on some ruby red lips....a little mascara and for one of us (me) concealer and we are soooo GTG and gorge.

Matte red lipstick is best for fall...plus your wind swept rough waves won't get stuck in the goop of gloss.

We lurve and totally heart priming lips with the teensiest bit o' Rosebud and using a lip pencil for stay power and intensity...geez sooo makeup artisty :)

Now about those rough waves....those are a trend too!

Chanel

These are not beach waves or even Bardo-esque bed head waves these are, "Oh...I'm soo tired..I can't be bothered to do a thing to my hair...and I look amazing..."

The best way to grab these waves o' too cool for school is to run a flat iron through your hair but instead of straightening...kinda twist it with out making curls. Then run your polished digits through...

But the word on the street is that Bed Head makes a super rad triple barrel iron for just the thing. Easy peasy...

OK, so the next trend is something that most of us rock on a day to day basis but...yay!...it's officially a trend...wow we are all soooo au courant...are pale lips.

These are not really bare lips but just slightly colored (skin tones) not too shiny lips.

Perf for the on the go gal...a wee bit o' sheer lipstick and away she goes...and as fab as eva'.

Since we are pros at the light lips here at Things We Heart we would looove to give you are to go to companies for that perf shade o' pale.

We totally heart Bobbi Brown's gorge liners. They are perfectly soft without being waxy and super pigmented .

Revlon makes some new yummy pale lip colors too and for a uber recessionista chic price. We haven't tried those yet, but they look really yummy.

You know what goes best with those pale lips?

Yuppers...smokey eyes, which is yet another Fa/Wi 09 trend...(oh that's shmancy speak for the Fall season). You may remember a super cute post about hot to do the smokey eye (and how not to) from the hotness that is Miss Me...so go there for a great how to...it is Monday after all...I can barely get these words out let alone retype it :)

The smokey eye is the very best way to feel sexy and sultry... The way it highlights your gorge peepers and sends a come hither (or sometimes stay away) message to any one you gaze at.

Now, the smokey eye doesn't always have to be dark or heavy it can just be a wash of greys and browns or even fun colors (try Stila Barbie Smudge Pots!) but it is always sexy...especially if you line your inner lids with a charcoal pencil....Hotness!

Stila Smudge Pot

Covergirl makes a great (and cheap) smokey eye pallet in neutrals for a totally easy application process.

Here we go...last but sooooo not least is our very fav Fall beauty trend...

It is not for the faint of heart but it is for sure for those who have seen it all...

The black lip is the newest trend to take the smashion world by storm...weird right? But there is something super sexy about it in a not terribly slutty way.

This is not your highschool goth chic's lip...nope....this is high fashion. It's glossy, rich and pretty darn daring but somehow remains totally chic!

This would look amazing with subtle eyes and pulled back hair or if you are brave, like in the land of Chanel,
they pair it with smokey eyes too...wow!

P.S. Line lips first...and not like Gaga...unless you like the Minney Mouse meets Geisha look...

...for a full sexy pout.

M.A.C. makes a super beautiful line of black colors for your lips

...but if you are not ready to spend the dough or afraid you will only try it once then run into your ol' high school fav spot...Hot Topic for a cheap tube.

So what ever trend you embrace or not...have fun...that's what make up is for...don't take it too seriously...then that way you can concentrate on the real stuff...and look AMAZING while doing it!

Take a look at this Beauty Rules (to break) to remember just how fun it all is...

Random hearts: We super heart Tracy Feith! (no its not fashion friday but after you read this you will super heart the randomness of wednesdays)

From our first trip into, the now closed, Tracy Feith store in NYC with Miss Me and picking out my dream wedding dress..(if my wedding... that i never wanted... was in a tropical land) an empire waist, strapless, sari fabric gown, with pockets... what???  OH YES my fashion lurvers...YES!

And why does his store look sooo much like our dream bedroom?

It was fantasmic.  Never have I seen a dress that actually made me want to get married..never..well except for this seasons YSL silk goddess  version.. which um anyone??? Hello??? I need that dress.  Here is a pic of it..

Ya..um...just add it to my bday list  (if you didn't get me a gift) or Xmas (maybe it will be on sale by then)

So, I instantly fell in utter heart land with Mr. Feith. 

Although his appearance and design sense make you think he was born on the golden beaches of the 'Bu (Malibu, CA), he actually was born and raised in Texas.  He didn't actually get his own sense of fashion and style until he moved to Huntington Beach and became a surfer.  

How hot is he!!!

According to him, the beach scene, style and music is what moulded him into the designer he is today.  The beach 'll do that to ya.

With a small series of lucky meetings and events he slowly crept into the hearts of Manhattan-ites... which I'm sure all of you I.T.K. are super aware that that is basically muy impossible to do. That's how cool and unique his designs are.  

He is the epitome of Bohemian Luxury...that just sounds hot!

I wish we could get our lil peanut butter filled fingers on some more photos of his private lines, but they seem to be as mysterious as he is.  

So we give you his design collab. with the one and only Target!!!  Yay!  

thanks chic intution for this pic

Now we can all get a piece of this hot piece..hee heee.  

It was released on May 17 (sorry we have been on the road for a while and we are super tardy on this post!!!) but to make it up to you, you can get it online!!!!  Good thing because the stores are E-M-P-T-Y!

So sit back, pull out your debit card (credit cards are soooo last year) and pick out some favs... 

FYI the line runs a size smaller we think.

Miss Me now owns and looks ridiculously hot in these bloomers.

Miss Me also wore this floral bubble dress with exposed zipper (left)  and we have never been more jealous (in a good way)...well until she wore jean shorts later and gave t.w.h. a huuge leg complex  (she's hot)

And hello???  Where is this 2 tone patterned dress???
I have scoured every store I pass and online everyday and nada!

Of course a surfer does a great bikini!  We saw 3 styles and they are all super super cute and girly in a boho kinda way.

Sign up now to join our W-H-T.F. Fan club!  (just kidding...but we really should start one!)

P.S. My order should be here any day so I will try to let you know how it goes ;)
