Baby its Cold Outside
Here in the Northeastern United States Jack Frost is making
his yearly appearance. Has emerged from his hiatus robust and smarmy. So here
are some tips and insights into the beauty and fashion culture this November.
Brown Riding Boots
– I own a pair of riding boots, though they have never been in the presence of
a horse. (I liken it to the sex wax fad
of the 80’s, were we wore the t-shirts yet never surfed or snowboarded) I
live in the circumference of a couple colleges. So I’ve witnessed a lot of
these boots everywhere.
UGGS - I’ll
confess right now , I was never particularly fond of these boots. I thought
they would have gone the way of predecessors Timberland Work boots, Birkenstock
( with socks ) . I was wrong we are going on almost 7 years there still a
staple amongst women. My friend let me try hers on and take them for a test
walk. I actually like them. Warm yet you have the agility of a sneaker. On the
fence may buy the payless version.
Dresses and Sweaters –
I’m in the doctor’s office reading an old Glamour magazine. There was an article
about different ways to style a dress. They said to put a sweater over your dress.
How had I not thought of this before?
This is brilliant on “Laundry Day “you look pretty snappy rocking this
look.
Tassels – Fashion
Royalty has deemed the tassel the trend of the fall and winter. Embroidery
floss is about to get popular again. All the DIY crafters will be hoarding it .
Then again this fad could just sail past us without making its mark. Keep your
eyes open for colorful tassels shall be adorning accessories near you.
Sugar Lip Scrub/Lip
balm – I’ve been making this for years though my recipe has changed. My
shameless plug is about to commence. I will be selling my lip scrub in a candy
cane flavor and lip balm in my Etsy shop.
I will be offering the scrub in Candy Cane and Vixen Vanilla. Lip balms are
Cherry Ice Cream Smile, Candy Cane and Bubblegum Pop. I’ve also got a lippy in development named for this blog. Popchicboutique.etsy.com (available on 11/22/2014)
Mixed Media Scarfs –
Scarfs made of yarn , tulle , gauze and various other materials. This is a
trend amongst my friends and I. They are bright multi colored and fun. The
genius of this scarf is you can wear it with your winter coat and also at work
with your outfit. I really love love this item.
Dark Plum Lipsticks –
A big cheer from all the “ Rum Raisin “ lipstick fans of the 90’s. On trend also in my heart of hearts a staple.
I love a bright lip it makes your teeth look whiter. Something about the pop of
color warms up my sallow ( yellow undertones) complexion.
DIY – It’s funny
how innovation has brought us ahead in so many ways. Though by nature there
seems to be a growing movement of people that are making their own products.
Laundry detergent, baby food, cosmetics and so much more.
Retro Cooking and
Baking – We are going back to basics
it seems along with that is an emergence of retro food from the 50’s . Instead
of trimming the fat people are making these as they are intended back in the
day. This peaked my curiosity so much so my Christmas cookie this year is going
to be The Scottish shortbread Petticoat tails . Click on this link to learn more Cookbook Archaeology : Petticoat Tails
