Stepping into Fall

Hello friends, can't believe we are already at the end of August! Where did the time go?!

But it also means: Back-to-School season, Labor Day Weekend (and the sales!) right around the corner, NYFW (New York Fashion Week) and Fall Fashion! Even in So-Cal, we are starting to feel the season's changing: Days are getting shorter. Mornings and nights are getting chillier, even though the office AC is still blasting as usual. Things such as: wrapping myself in this HALOGEN Cashmere Wrap (from my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul) in the office and trying on this Charlotte Tilbury (CT) Hollywood Matte Liquid Lipstick in "Show Girl" (left), make me look forward to fall.

CT's Hollywood collection will launch at Nordstrom on Thursday. I wore this liquid lipstick for a few hours, it stayed put on my lips and was not drying at all! You can see my entire CT lipstick collection here.

Today, we are talking about fall transitional shoes with four trends I'm currently loving. When it comes to shoe shopping, one of the most important selection criteria for me is leather lining. I find those with leather lining are more comfortable to wear (no blisters!) and breathable (don't stink!), but they are also more pricey. With that in mind, I've included both leather (marked with a *) and non-leather lining at different price points, if you are not picky about the lining. I picked them from Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, and Anthropologie, where I shop the most. But you can certainly find these styles at your favorite stores.
