The Trendy Gal

Okay, I am finally giving y’all a beauty post today! Let me start out by saying, I am not a makeup artist, beauty expert, nor do I use the correct makeup brushes. However, every time I hop on Instagram with a full glam look or just my daily makeup, y’all go crazy and always want more makeup so, here is my first attempt to chat with y’all about makeup!

Now, you’re probably thinking, why a lipstick post when no one will see your lipstick with masks. Well, I don’t wear a mask at home or in the car or to take photos so, why not just wear it to feel good! I also think that lipstick can completes a makeup look! I always put it on last and I think it ties the whole look together! For instance, if I am doing a super glam look but realize its too fancy, I add a neutral lip and it dies down the look!

Today I am going to share a few of my favorite neutral fall lip colors! I love fall lips because I do enjoy a darker lip however, I cannot pull off a super dark lip and these are all great for every day looks! They are subtle yet, they still make an impression!

As you can see above, I love pink tones of lippies! All of these look great on and stay on well! I love matte lippies but don’t always like when it dries my lips out. The Milani lip is my all time fave matte lipstick, however it is more drying. The Loreal Sterpiece is a great matte and also does not dry my lips out at all! I would wear all these lipsticks with any outfit/ an everyday makeup look!

Lately I have been sharing a lot of outfits with y’all that Natalie 5 years ago would have never worn because she would have been too scared to try something that is “out there.” Well, I am glad that Natalie is gone and that I wear whatever the heck I want! Life is short, why not wear something that makes you feel good! I also find when I wear something that I am hesitant about, I have so much confidence when I wear it because you have to be confident to pull off a new trend!

Who doesn’t love a sweet treat with a warm cup of apple cider in the fall! I know I do and these pumpkin cookies are the best! I made these cookies last year for a pumpkin carving party with my friends and they were a hit! My friends loved them so much, they were begging me to make them again this year!

These cookies are not only delicious but they are super easy to make a perfect for large gatherings! The whole process takes about 25 minutes and one batch makes 48 cookies. These would be perfect for a spooky party this month or Thanksgiving next month!

The cookies are more like cake cookies. They are very soft and moist and I love to add some cream cheese frosting on top to add a little extra sweetness! I have found that my friends who don’t like pumpkin love these cookies because they are more cinnamon than pumpkin. Recipe linked below and comment below if you make them or plan on making them!

It isn’t fall if you don’t wear a flannel, am I right? I love flannels for fall they can be styled so many ways but flannels and flares are my favorite! I have a huge obsession with flare jeans, I just think they are so flattering!

If you are venturing out this fall, this would be a super cute outfit for the pumpkin patch or fall family pictures! I got this flannel from Target last year so linking a similar one. These flares are a Shein find and I cut them and gave them a raw hem to make them shorter. I do suggest sizing up one because these flares have very little stretch!

Happy almost October! I cannot believe how quick this year is flying by and that fall is in full swing! The temps here in Lubbock are starting to cool down and I am all for it! fall is my favorite season and I can’t wait to enjoy the cool weather, pumpkins spice, flannels, and more!

Today, I am sharing some recent fall decor I stumbled upon on Amazon! I love to decorate my house with super cute fall decor, it just makes my space so cozy! All of these items are very inexpensive and I linked them all below!

Fall is in the air! The temps are starting to cool down a bit here and I am so ready for it! I mentioned in my post on Instagram yesterday that I don’t wear a lot of black but I think black pairs perfect with cheetah print which has been my favorite print all season!

This skirt is so cute and can be styled many ways! I love to wear it with a white tee and sneakers as well! This skirt does run short so I would suggest sizing up. I also would wear a pair of Spanx underneath if you are self conscious about your stomach area because this skirt does hug your tummy!

I paired the skirt with a black cropped top because it paired well adn I am short so the end of the top hits the top of the skirt! I think this top will be perfect to pair with different skirts all season! I also, grabbed a new pair of black knee high boots to pair with this skirt because I had the brown version from last year and I needed to black! This outfit is perfect for fall and I can’t wait to wear it for a fall date night or GNO!

Animal print is always super in but, I feel like this year it is super trendy. I have found that I have multiple different animal prints in my fall wardrobe and there are so many ways to rock this style! Get ready for some roarin outfit inspo below!

Cheetah Sweater and Faux Leather Shorts

How many trends can I rock in one outfit? The answer is a lot! This outfit has my whole heart. When I first started my blog, I wasn’t really one to try trends that are “out there” but, those always end up being my favorite! These cutie faux leather shorts pair perfectly with a cheetah sweater! I love this outfit for brunch or date night and if you want to make it more casual, switch the booties out with a pair of cute sneakers!

Animal Print Skirt and Moto Jacket

I’ve styled this Amazon skirt for y’all for almost every season because it is THAT versatile! I know a lot of y’all live for a good neutral outfit, so here you go! This skirt looks so cute paired with a moto jacket and I cannot forget my favorite suade pointy toe booties! This would also look cut with sneakers as well.

Black Chenille Sweater Dress and Cheetah Mules

So, maybe you’re not one to wear crazy loud prints, no worries! I always gravitate towards prints with shoes sometimes because it allows you have have a pop of something different in your outfit and it is always fun to mix it up! These mules are the cutest and look great with literally everything!

I have been a big lover of I Love Jewelry for a while now and I absolutely love everything they send me! Last month I got some cutie pink cheetah pajamas that I wear nonstop! Seriously, I am wearing them right now! This month in my package, they send over this cutie plaid vest and a cozy turtle neck and some glitter earrings and hair clip and I already know I will be wearing them both all season long!

What’s nice about both of these 2 items above is that they can be styled several ways. I have a cream colored top that would look so cute with this vest and the turtle neck top can either be layered or worn with a cute scarf and skirt. Like I said above, I love everything I receive from I Love Jewelry and if you are a monogram lover like I am, you need to check out their stuff!

In my book, fall is already in full swing when it comes to my wardrobe! Sadly, because of the Texas heat, I can’t fully break out my sweaters but, that won’t stop me from rocking the fall colors! Today on The Trendy Gal, I am sharing pieces in my wardrobe that are great to transition into fall with!

First up, I am sharing the dress above which is a cutie dress from Target and only $25! I love this dress for a couple reasons but the main reason is I just love the fall florals. The color is an amazing burnt orange just perfect for fall! I also love how flowy it is and how you can pair it with either boots or booties and also sandals or sneakers! It is a versatile dress that can be styled many ways.

Y’all know by now that I pretty much rock pink all year long and I just love this asymmetrical pink dress! I styled it this summer a few ways but since it’s long sleeve, it works better in the fall. For styling, this dress is endless. I went with a casual look above by pairing it with an oversized cardigan but you could definitely pair a denim or leather or moto jacket with this dress and then add your favorite boots or sneakers!

I love a good bodysuit for summer so my fall wardrobe has to have a few as well and this turtle neck sleeveless bodysuit is the perfect fall staple! Another great transition piece because it is actually not hot to wear at all but you still look fall ready. I also love to pair this bodysuit with skirts, blazers, or cardigans as well! It always looks so cute. I would also change out the booties in this outfit for a fun pair of mules like cheetah print or snake skin.

Last but not least, my trusted Amazon skirt that belongs in all season! This pattern is pretty versatile but the tan color is particularly great for fall! Looks good with all kinds of boots and booties and swap out the white tank and denim jacket for a cute graphic tee and leather jacket for an edgier fall look!

I feel like Texas is pretty much always in fall transition so these are great outfit ideas if your fall doesn’t get too cool! Everything is super versatile so there are so many ways you can rock these looks on repeat all season long! Linking items and similar items below!
