Star Style: Sofia Vergara

We love Sofia Vergara’s style! The Colombian born actress, model, entrepreneur is best known for her role on Modern Family as the loud mouth hispanic wife with a colorful personality that always keeps us entertained.

Sofia inspired us to put together a similar look. It’s very simple to get this look because she is wearing classic pieces that every girl should own. With a snug cobalt blue top, dark wash skinnies, super high-heels and a bold ring necklace, this look screams sophistication. This look is great for accentuating those vivacious curves!

Fall Make-Up Trends

Since we are not beauty experts, we sought out in search for one in order to get the hottest trends in make-up this fall. We found on allure.com beauty section the scoop on all the fall make-up trends right from the runway.

1st Trend: Rosy Cheeks - For fall, a nice rosy cheek is the way to go. Now that the sunny days are over, adding a hint of color to your  cheek bones will brighten your face. A nude lip color and eye shadow will really allow the rosy color to stand  out.

2nd Trend: Metallic Smoky Eye - Update the black and silver smoky eye this season with metallics of all different shades. Try a nice fall  copper tone, lined with a black eye liner. Let the smoky eye speak for itself and keep the rest of your make-  up subdue.

3rd Trend: Red Wine Lips - Seen on the runway of Gucci, this bold red lip is a daring and sexy look, perfect for a hot date. Try this  electrifying color with a rich purple or fuschia blouse.

These makeup trends will match perfectly with the hottest fall fashions from Dots!

Halloween Inspirations

What is your favorite thing about the halloween season? Is it the pumpkin coffee and apple cider? Pumpkin carving/ decorating? Or maybe it’s the famous candy apple?

I personally love all of these so I found some fun and creative ways to mix it up this year.

1. The first is an apple cider float! Yum! People have described this as better than a milkshake or float     combined!

Shopping List (from the Everyday with Rachael Ray Staff)
2 cups apple cider
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup vanilla ice cream
1 tbsp. caramel sauce
1 pinch of nutmeg

2. The second idea are small glittered pumpkins. Carving is the classic way to decorate which is always great, but these little miniature glittered pumpkins are festive and girly!

Tools and Materials

  • Small pumpkins
  • Medium-sized paintbrush
  • Similar glitter in Garnet, Tourmaline, and Bronze, $4.99, by Martha Stewart Crafts
  • White glue, by Martha Stewart Crafts
  • Paper plate or newspaper
  • Brown acrylic paint

3.  The third idea is a twist on the classic looking candy apple. Make your own and spice them up with halloween inspired decorations! Get the step by step process at OneCharmingParty.com
