Undoubtedly the September issues of the fashion magazines are the most thrilling of the year. Here are some tips from Allure who featured Kim Kardashian on their cover.
In the beauty reporter (pg. 76) they feature Dior’s gorgeous new mini clutch featuring three eye shadows and 2 lip glosses. The lip glosses are in their own section under a gold lift-up door, so they don’t get the powdery eye shadow in them, clever, right? Look out for it as Saks Fifth Avenue this Fall, retail price $80.
Fall looks:
Schoolgirl (pg. 85) The Look: blazers, skirts, coats, sweaters with a classic preppyish look but with a modern twist to keep them current. Some examples…
Nightcap Clothing’s Patch V-Neck Tee, $154
Alice + Olivia Plaid Shorts, $198
Army (pg. 86) The Look: rugged dresses and jackets, lug sole boots, dog tag necklaces.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Uniform Cotton Dress, $298
Gucci Dog Tag Necklace, $275
Boxy Hand Held Bags (pg. 88) The Look: squarish or rectangle shape bags with top handles.
Nine West Plain Jane Flannel Satchel, $89
Classic Example: Louis Vuitton Speedy 30, $690.
Ankle Boots (pg. 90) The Look: straps, zippers, platforms, open toes, cut-outs (variety!)

Blue Mercury caught my attention recently because they opened a beautiful new store in my neighborhood (1311 Third Avenue @75th Street New York, NY 10021). I hadn’t been familiar with them previously. They carry the top beauty brands like Caudalie, Bliss, Mason Pearson, Laura Mercier, etc. etc. Here is the full list of brands. You can also buy everything from their website. They offer free samples with every order, free gift wrapping and free shipping on orders over $50 with code FREESHIP10.
Here are some of their recommended products this week, featuring citrus. I LOVE the Fresh Petit Soaps. The Bergamot Citrus and Pink Grapefruit are 2 of my favorites!

Gap has a cool Fall lookbook on their website right now. I would describe the looks as slouchy, casual, cool – they describe them as “inspired by the girl who’s ready for anything”. Check out the lookbook here.
I really like the Leather Utility Jacket, $328. That’s a pretty good price for leather… although one could luck out and get it on sale later in the season.
I also like this Raw Edge Knit Scarf. It’s only $19.50 and it’s made of 100% modal, so it’s super soft and comfy. With really fine silk scarves (like Hermes) you end up worrying about them when you wearing them, but something like this is great, no fuss, no worries. (sorry, that comparison was apples and oranges but you know what I mean)
