Fall Tips and Tricks by Nordstrom

Nordstrom invited us up for a Fall Tips and Tricks workshop.....and we gladly went. We were a little concerned when we arrived and they told us the workshop was set up in the Gucci section.... yikes....all these tips and tricks may be out of our budget.  But the sweet stylist informed us there would be items from all price ranges.  We settled in for the workshop.

Some of you may consider the fall trends great news.....others may moan with dread

Here are some of the key trend words for the fall: Prairie, 80's and Bandana Scarfs.

So does that sound good or horrid to you? Well just remember all trends are best done with your own personal flair.  Here are a few options in each of the trends for you to consider.  There are lots of tops with small floral prints

Hinge Ruffle V -neck

BP Gathered Back Top

Caslon Print Blouse

And if you like denim, this is the fall for you.  Tons of jeans in every style imaginable, bootcut, boyfriend, slim fit, etc.  Also, it will be a great season for throwing a denim jacket over all the above tops and over dresses.  

If you need a good denim jacket, allow me to recommend

Helena Denim Jacket

The stylist also suggested we have great boots....and western inspired are highly recommended

Lance Block Heel Bootie

Sam Edelman Macon Bootie

And a lower heel option

Dolce Vita Pearse

And all of these can be worn with your dresses and pants

As far as the 80's go....blush is back with a vengeance

The makeup artist demonstrated this blush on several of the models

Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic

This particular color is First Love.  It worked on almost all skin tones.  Notice how it is made....a darker pigment in the center.  It is designed to swipe up the cheekbone with the lighter color and then give the pop of color on the apple of the cheek with the center shade.

Here are all the color options

And who remembers these ?

Madewell Bandana

This one comes in about 7 color options.  We may have come home with 5 of them.  I even came home and found one I held onto for all these years.  I yard sale stuff like crazy but I did hold on to one and it was fun to pull it out and put it back into circulation.

And if you are not into things being tied around your neck, these also look great on a tote or a purse

Other things that we saw a lot of were long denim skirts, corduroy of all kinds and jackets upon jackets.

I am very excited to layer up and enjoy these new fall trends. Temps are falling and here we go.

See you back here on Wednesday.  Make it a great Monday!!!
