Fall Must Haves- Accessories

Fall Must Haves- Accessories by raven-erica-alston featuring a black belt

Black boots / Dirty Laundry slip on shoes / McQ by Alexander McQueen leather handbag / Madewell tote bag / DANNIJO long necklace / Michael Kors bracelet / Marc by Marc Jacobs stud earrings / Balmain black belt, $1,030 / Lucky Brand circle scarf / Black hat / even&odd snood scarve, $19 / Monki black hat, $11

Aside from the outfit itself, Fall is about accessorizing and layering. Beanies with vulgar or funny are in style adding the spice and spunk to an outfit unless your like me, who likes to stick with basic, solid cashmere beanies from Banana Republic.

Boots of all types are always fall staples as well as cute scarves that add a flare while keeping us warm

Fall Must Haves- Tops

Cynthia Rowley t shirt / NIC+ZOE cotton cardigan / Knit cardigan / Madewell blue long sleeve shirt / Topshop white tunic / Pink sweater

We all have our favorite sweater right? I know I have a few. I am definitely a cardigan collector, especially J.crew cardigans( they always have appropriate colors for the seasons, and are made perfectly.)

Sweaters with patches, unique stitching , and unique/abstract prints are must haves just because they are. Who doesn't love to be cozy while looking cute?

Denim shirts are still relevant, they are comfy while adding a nice laid back touch to an outfit whether its leather pants or a pair of chinos.

Fall Must Haves- Bottoms

Fall Must Haves- Bottoms by raven-erica-alston featuring ripped jeans

Chalayan black leather mini skirt / Alice + Olivia floral skirt / Rag & Bone ripped jeans / J.Crew stretchy pants / River Island black trousers, $55 / H&M skinny fit jeans, $31

Bottoms usually don't change throughout the seasons, or the years. Boyfriend jeans and skinny jeans will probably never go out of style nor will a classic pair of chinos.

Leather bottoms on the other hand can be timeless if your a Kardashian ( LOL) but in the meantime they are still hot pieces that spice up your outfit whether you want to dress them up or down.

Circle skirts that are black or have falls colors are definitely in style this season adding the pop to your outfit making it fun and flirty. Just pair with a solid shirt, and some black tights and your are ready to for night time events.

Fall Must Haves- Outerwear

Fall Must Haves- Outerwear by raven-erica-alston featuring a jean jacket

Velvet light weight jacket / Long blazer, $185 / Aéropostale quilted jacket / H&M jean jacket, $39

These four outerwear pieces are definitely must haves for the fall season. Whether your style is preppy to casual to grunge at least one( if not all) these jackets should be in your wardrobe.

Leather Jackets are classic and timeless pieces as well as denim jackets. They can make that dress you feel overdressed in either super casual or super chic and edgy. Denim jackets, especially with dark to medium washes are my favorite and leather jackets that give a rocker/ biker chic kind of feel.

Utility jackets are definitely in style at the moment. They are super cute and add the edgy yet laid back look to any outfit. Pair with some skinny jeans, a cream shirt/sweater and some brown combat boots and your definitely fall ready.

Lastly, a blazer is another timeless piece that dresses up you outfit, giving more of a classy or professional feel. Throw on a blazer with some boyfriend jeans and a cute t-shirt and your wedge sneakers you have dressed up your once casual outfit or if you have that dress that's just a little to provocative put a blazer on to give it that class effect.

My B2S beauty list

Urban Decay pencil eye liner / MAKE UP FOR EVER liquid foundation / Yves Saint Laurent makeup / NARS Cosmetics / Kat Von D liquid eye liner /

Hello Loves!

Sorry I've been MIA, my laptop is broken but is currently getting fixed so when I do blog it's from my handy dandy iPhone.Don't worry, I'm back and will not leave you guys again. Soon, I plan on making YouTube videos to make this blog even more entertaining and useful for you guys. Thanks for continuous support *kissy face emoji*

So in about two weeks, school will be starting back up for most people including myself. I'm going into my junior year of college( yay!) so it's crunch time now. I made a list of some great products to go back to school with so let's get started.

First, I was got a sample of the Makeup Forever HD Foundation and let me say how amazing it is. Second, I added the urban decay 24/7 liners because colored eyeliners are a great way to spice up your look without using eyeshadow, it's quick and easy if your running lathe for class or work and they're do FUN. If your not with the whole $19 price Sephora and NYX both have affordable, good quality liners.

Next, the beauty blender is a semi new product on the scene that people rave about, we sell them at Sephora and the makeup artist use them and when I tell you FLAWLESS finish...omg amazing. Recently, Urban Decay released their new lippies the Lip Revolution( review coming soon) with amazing colors, a Moisturizing yet pigmented finish these are amazing from going from class, to the library, to some events happening on campus with minimum reapplying. The YSL luminzing concealer/ highlighter is amazing to brighten those under eyes and Casino/Laguna bronzer to add so color and definition as we lose our summer tans.

Lastly, Honey by Marc Jacobs is a fruity and fresh scent that is perfect to wear around campus.
