Fall Fashion Means A Celebrity Leopard Scarf For Wrap-Around Style

We've already mentioned how leopard pumps are a HOT trend for Fall 2012.

Now, get ready for a long, leopard scarf for wrap-around style.

Fashion-forward celebrities like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Eva Mendes are already embracing this classic look. They both look amazing. And leopard print is so timeless and always a welcome accessory.

Both beauties are wearing Salvatore Ferragamo cashmere scarves! Ok, not the most inexpensive choice for most of us. It's about a $350 scarf.  But, you, too, can have smart fashion sense by copying wealthy celebs.

We found 2 pretty long, leopard scarves that are very affordable:

1. Leopard Print Wrinkle Scarf ($19.95, at Rakutenbuy.com). 100% viscose and measuring 32" width x 70" length.

2. Leopard Skull Print Scarf ($10.50, at Wetseal.com). A leopard printmultiple skulls and a raw edge. In 100% viscose.

Fall 2012: Cranberry-licious Lips Do The Talking

Cranberry kisses, everyone.

To go with your burgundy handbag,  burgundy shoes, burgundy skirt, burgundy belt, and so on.

We've been talking about burgundy being the IT Fall color for 2012. Burgundy also equals wine, which equals cranberry.

We agree......It can get a bit confusing in the beauty/fashion color department.

The dark purple/red shade does NOT have to match up perfectly. The burgundy shoes could be deeper in shade than your lipstick, for instance. And not every piece you purchase in the cranberry shade will be labeled as cranberry, and so forth. You will pick up a bag or blouse and know when it is the right shade.

For example, the models were showing off dark red/purple lips on a lot of the runways, including Nina Ricci, above. And the rest of the makeup was minimal, except for a pair of full brows, if you can get 'em.

It all comes down to the degree of color. Some of the models' lips were TOO dark in burgundy. It depends how comfortable you are putting on a very bold lip.

We think you can still do the cranberry kiss, but in a softer, plum-mier shade. And we have found 2 lipsticks you can try.

1. L’Oréal Paris Colour Caresse by Colour Riche Luminous Lipcolour in Cherry Tuelle(photo 3) ($9.99, at cvs.com).

2. Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Plumberry ( $26, at  lauramercier.com).

It's great to follow the beauty/fashions trends when they hit, the key is to follow them sensibly. If the lip color is pretty extreme for daytime wear, then save the lippie for a night out. Or tone it down, and buy a lipstick that is in the same color range, but a softer, more wearable hue.

Here's to cranberry kisses, everyone!

Handbag Deal Of The Day: Under $50!

Excuse our grainy, less-than-perfect photo, but you get the idea.

Our handbag deal-of-the-day comes to us from ExpressionsNYC.com. You're going to love the price, too. It's ONLY $49! And the bag is certainly in the RIGHT color this Fall---burgundy.

We found this best buy in the pages of the October 2012 People Stylewatch mag. And as People put it----It's "amazingly affordable!"

According to expressionsnyc, the handbag is in stock, but due to the heavy volume of orders, you can "expect shipping delays.".

The Frame Satchel features Faux leather in an ostrich texture, 10"H x 12"W X 4.5"D. We especially like the bag's classic shape and sharp silver hardware, and think this is a good deal.

Paint On Some Gold, Ladies: It's a Glam Thing

Gold signifies wealth, glamour, and the good life.

And at the moment, gold is a HOT color trend in beauty, too. Maybe, a dab of gold highlighter across the top of your cheekbones or eyelids is just too over-the-top, or not your beauty thing.

But how could you deny the glamour of a gold mani/pedi?! Gold is great for a big night out. And Maybelline has got you covered:

Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in Bold Gold ($3.19, on SALE at CVS).

We have to admit, a gold manicure looks gorgeous. Take a peek at the top photo. We WISH these were our nails.  They belong to mybeautyboxblog.

Will you dip your nails into some purely pretty gold lacquer?

You might just FEEL like a million bucks $$$.

Congratulations, Anne Hathaway!

Your extensions look so pretty! The actress is now a married woman.

The Les Miserables star married actor-beau Adam Shulman at sunset today in Big Sur, California. '

The happy couple took part in a traditional Jewish ceremony at a private home there, according to reports.

Anne looked glam in a gorgeousValentino gown, and get this---all her bridesmaids were in Valentino dresses, too.

The pair gets along beautifully, as she told USA Today last year that they both value their normal, low-key way of life. "We have house parties and dinner parties and just hang out," Anne said. "I'm so delighted by [Adam]. He's all the things you want a partner to be. I so find joy in his presence."

We are betting that celebrity stylist Ted Gibson did Anne's signature wavy hair for the nuptials. We prefer the Les Miserables actress with LONGER locks, and think the hair extensions were a lovely beauty touch!

Beauty Junkie Julianne Hough Loves These For Lips

'Rock of Ages' star Julianne Hough has to
remind herself that 'less is more,' when it comes to putting on makeup.

The gorgeous 24-year-old is a beautie junkie, and proud of it. She tells InStyle mag that there are certain things she ALWAYS stashes in her cosmetics bag.

Let's take a look at how this rising star  dresses up her kissable lips.

She says it's Chanel and Rosebud lip balm all the way. The 2 lip products couldn't be more different:

Rosebud Strawberry Lip Balm ($7, at Sephora). This balm-in-a-tin is a cult-fave among many. It's so soothing and makes lips really soft, and smells so yumy!

"My trick is to put this  gloss over my lipstick and rub it in a little so my lips aren't too sticky. It looks more natural," Julianne says.

Chanel Glossimer Lip Gloss, Calypso ($30, at Chanel.com). It's a juicy tangerine shade that can go lighter for that natural coral-y hue. Julianne adores Calypso:

"A peachy coral gloss has been my go-to for years, and it works best with my skin tone.".

It's a lovely look for the beauty-next-door and her blonde hair, blue-eyed, fair skin combo.
