Two Trends I Like For Fall 2011 :: Lace and Pink

I'm headed west to the Mississippi area this weekend for a family wedding (yes, I get the honor of working with the bride, I can't wait!) and have been packing up a storm.  It takes days to get my family of 5 ready to go on the road, even if it is just for the weekend!  So while I've been planning what we will all wear to the festivities, there are two trends I've really gotten into that will definitely be traveling with me.

My 2 faves shown at once, can you guess them??

The first thing is PINK blush.  I'm sure this doesn't come as a shocker to any of you since I always talk about what a big deal blush is and that it makes the biggest difference in brightening up a dull pasty face!  My newest purchase is another blush by Sonia Kashuk for Target.  Her blushes are faboo and very inexpensive.  This pink hue is called Flamingo ($8), pretty perfect name for a pretty perfect pink!!  I've done tons of looks including pink cheeks including this Rainbow Brite one that is one of my faves done with an actual pink eye shadow

The second thing is LACE.  Lace gets a bad rap sometimes as looking "cheap" or "floozy," but when done right, I think it can be super chic and classy!  I love the Daily Candy website, and found a great tiny look book of some runway designers that used lace in their fall 2011 collections here.  (What I love about this posting is that it gives you real world clothing options to the designer ones!) So since I haven't had the chance to buy any new lace garments lately, I decided to sport this lacy look on my fingernails!  Nails can always be once of your best accessories in my opinion. I used the Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail stickers ($8.50) again bc I was so impressed with the first ones I used here.  And since it's a wedding, I need to be a bit more dolled up and what better way then with black lace!

How do you feel about lace on the nails and pink cheeks?? Are you a fan?  What are you loving now in the beauty world?!
