B Listed: Fall beauty must haves

As the leaves change, so should your beauty routine. Here are three beauty must haves for fall that I will be working to perfect. 

1. Winged tip eyeliner: We all know Lauren Conrad has perfected this look and Adele kills it but I'm looking to make this work everyday. With all the many tutorials available I am determined to master the art of eyeliner.

2. Simple bun: I have to admit that this look is already in my daily routine (typically day 3 of dirty hair) and will use throughout the season. 

3. Dark lips: This is a stretch for me. Just last year, I started wearing lipstick and have fears of this dark lip color. The trick here will be finding the perfect shade that compliments my skin tone and the perfect formula that stays through the day.

B Converted: French Barn

I'm not one for barns, I'm actually far from country and outdoorsy you can say. But, if there was a barn I could live in with a fabulous chandelier like the one below then I would!

P.S. If you're feeling overwhelmed in your work // life // social balance then I recommend you read Grace's blog post today. It was inspiring and said a lot that I'm afraid to say at times.

B Paired: Black and gold

Let me introduce you to my color pairing go-to. Black is increasing being added to my closet and gold has always been a staple. I'm finding these to slowly take over my fall wardrobe. Will I wear color again? I'm not sure with all these chic options.

B Printed: Socks for fall

I traded in my iced coffee for a hot non-fat latte this morning. But when do you know it's really fall? When you stop shopping for tanks and start shopping for socks, printed socks! I admit that there are days during the fall and winter that I walk out with mis-matching socks under my boots. But there's something about colorfully printed socks that make me excited! So far, I've found that J. Crew and Madewell give the largest collection of printed socks. Where do you find your socks for fall? 

B Posed: Emmy top four

Last night's Emmy's was filled with new blood that was catching my eye. While the countdown to Fall television begins, I picked out my top four because really after them I lost interest.

P.S. Who is watching Scandal and Revenge with me this week? 

B Patched: Gwyneth Paltrow Goop Sweaters

Fall is creeping on us and soon it will be sweater goes with everything season. I love this new collaboration from Gwyneth Paltrow on Goop showing that heart sweaters with elbow patches aren't for elderly or ten years and under. It's the patched details that is perfect for a pumpkin spice latte and book read on a Fall saturday. 

B Minimal: Gold Strip Studs

There are some things you never would put on your list, then come these amazing earrings from Ginette NY that become a must have. The simple gold strip studs are the perfect minimal detail. I'm dying to add these in my growing stud collection but unfortunately the $300 price tag slow downed my impulse buying nature. So here is my public listing... WANTED: Gold strip studs under $75.
