FORECAST FRIDAY: FALL 2012 TRENDS

It is almost that time of the year again where the leaves change colors, and we finally get a break from this California heat!

                                PRETTY IN PEPLUM

Peplum has made its way to Fall!  From day to night, this trend is a hit! Pair a Peplum top with some skinny jeans and a cute pair of booty heels and your good to go.  Going out on the town for the night, a Peplum dress is the perfect classy look!

                                  GOLDEN BEAUTY

It's easy to look like a goddess this Fall.  Add a bit of glamour by wearing this Fall's trend Gold to your wardrobe.  Wether it's a gold accessory or a metallic gold outfit, it will definitely be quite the statement.  This trend is a classy and sophisticated! Accessorize a gold dress with something black and you will stand out!

                    LEATHER HEAD

This Fall the leather trend is coming in hot.  Leather has always been a popular trend, but this Fall it's really making a statement! This is one of my favorite trends because of its versatility.  From a simple leather jacket, to leather pants, dress, top and even leather gloves.  A simple piece of leather will spice up any outfit.

MENSDAY WEDNESDAY: SUIT UP!

Men, we all know that suits can make the man, so today I am going to tell you three awesome suit trends for this upcoming Fall! Suits are tailored and made generally to show off mens great figure and broad shoulders.

The first trend for Fall is wearing your buttoned down shirt, but leaving the first three buttons undone to portray a casual V-neck kind of look.

Tired of the old traditional suit and tie? great, because bow ties and skinny ties will still be big this Fall!

Lastly, stand out at your office and get a suit with one of a kind texture and color. For example, go for a cozy wool or tweed, which are two great fabrics for Fall/Winter.

MAKEOVER MONDAY: TONI'S BEACH BAG MUST HAVES

Happy Makeover Monday! Hope your weekend was a good one loves!

For a woman on the go this product is a must, but not thought of! For a long day at the beach give a  little spritz on the go, try Evian Travel Spray and you will feel as good as new.

And do not forgot to apply your Face's Sunscreen! It is my favorite because it always helps for the perfect complexion to add a light sunscreen for the midday refresher. I really like this product because it does not clog your pores but kills two birds with one stone and treats as a moisturizer as well. Sun protection is a must have not only for well-treated skin, but to also fight off skin cancer. Skin cancer can be easily forgotten about, but is a main problem amongst our generation.

Something, in this California heat you cannot do without. And, ladies we know that a perfect day at the beach can turn not so perfect with the beach weathered hair. So throw it up in a HAIR TIE that is another must have for a girl who doesn't know where life will take hair.

Rose lip gloss the so in this summer. It  is the perfect reddish, medium rosey pink and full of shine gloss that is rich and creamy. It's the perfect effortless look for the beach, a nice swab on those gorgeous lips and it transforms your look to a well kept sophisticated look. Rose Lip Gloss by Laura Mercier is the perfect gloss!

An item for the beach bag must have is Hawaiian Tropic Tanning Lotion.  Are you looking for that golden bronze tan? Well this product can help you achieve that.  It is low in SPF so don't forget to apply your sunscreen as well, because this will help you achieve the summer look you have been trying to obtain.

The perfect summer look does not have to be as hard as it looks, use these simple products and you will be ready for anything the sun has to to throw at you.

AI FAV PIA TOSCANO IS AMAZING "TIME AFTER TIME"

Many were quite upset with the early departure of American Idol Season 10 favorite Pia Toscano. This Howard Beach native brings us back to the days of Mariah's range of high notes and a VOICE like Christina. "Powerhouse" Pia made it clear that she is ready to belt out that beautiful voice for years to come. Joining long time friend and BMG Chrysalis artist Jared Lee on stage on Wednesday night at the Viper Room, the Italian songbird executed a Cyndi Lauper favorite with ease to perfection.

 

 

With a role that was written specifically for her in the new film Grace UnPlugged, meetings with producers of Glee and a debut album in the works, there is no sign of slowing down from this 'Wrecking Ball' (the song she penned for Danity Kane's and Celebrity Apprentice frenemy Aubrey O'Day).

 

 

Stay tuned, . . .

FORECAST FRIDAY: FALL IN LOVE WITH THESE COLORS

As the temperatures drop slightly and the leaves change color, we are quickly reminded that summer is coming to an end. But with the end of summer comes beautiful autumn colors. Here's a quick guide to making sure your closet is keeping up with Mrs. Wintour's favorite palette for fall.

This by far is one of the brightest Fall/Winter color streams we've seen in a while. Pink Flambe', Tangerine Tango, and Bright Chartreuse transition effortlessy from Summer, while Honey Gold, French Roast, and Titanium give us an earthly rich depth that rounds out a very complete array of colors.

Embracing a chocolate brown over black this season will be crucial to tie in these colors with ease and charm. Make a bold statement in Olympian Blue and maybe even Ryan Lochte will take notice!

Looking for a softer approach to a pretty extreme, opt for Rose Smoke or Rhapsody with a Titanium pencil skirt or slacks.

It's going to be a very colorful fall and I can't wait to dive right in!
