My Fall Statement Pieces: Animal Print, Oxblood-Colored Anything, and Dainty Detailed Jewelry

Melissa Naimi & Breea Kelly September 14, 2015

In Los Angeles the fall season is taking a bit longer to come than expected, but boy am I ready for it! I haven't always been a minimalist when it comes to fashion, but details have always been important to me. This fall season I have fallen in love with three trends: animal print, oxblood colored pants, and of course dainty yet sparkly jewelry, and the key to each one of these fall trends is to keep it simple, and not to over-do it.

If you know me, you know I'm fierce and have mad love for animals so trust me when I tell you anything animal print screams my name. Wearing animal prints are tricky though, you have to be careful you don't overdo it because you could end up as a jersey-shore look-a-like. My favorite way to wear animal print is either as a top or as an accent on a clutch or handbag. Most important part is to wear it as minimally as possible or else you run the risk of having your outfit look too busy. 

Oxbloood, "Ew whats that" totally not actual blood on clothing guys, calm down. Oxblood is a term for a color that is a rich maroon-burgundy color and its sooo delicious for the fall season. It's the perfect color to rock on your lips, handbags, or even pants: my favorite way to rock them. Speaking for myself, I know the color black has taken over my closet, and oxblood is the perfect color to throw into the mix to help you liven up your wardrobe all while staying edgy and mysterious. 

Its no secret that I love me some jewelry, and some sparkles, but my favorite type will always be dainty, detailed pieces of jewelry. Why? Because its so versatile and you can wear it with any kind of outfit, dress it up, dress it down, and my favorite reason.. layering! Dainty detailed jewelry is the perfect kind whether you're wearing jeans and a t shirt, jeggings and a tank, or even a fancy dress. The more intricate, delicate, and sparkly your jewelry is the better! 

Remember: fall is the perfect time for layering and multiple trends at a time, but the key is simplicity and detail-oriented-ness. Rock that animal print, oxblood colored pieces and those dainty detailed accessories and I promise you compliments will be rolling your way! 

Here are a few of my favorite pieces to rock this fall:

True Life: I'm Addicted to Lipstick

Melissa Naimi & Breea Kelly May 18, 2015

Reds, pinks, and nudes are only some of the many shades of lipstick I love. If it's MAC, name it and I got it! Growing up, I was the biggest tomboy, my love for basketball shorts and air forces trumped my interest in anything girly, especially lipstick. Back then the most fascinating type of makeup was lip gloss, or LipGlass from MAC, thankfully its in the past! Whoever thought walking around with super glossy and sticky lips was a good idea, sure did like the taste of their own hair on a windy day.  

Around my 17th birthday, I was gifted a MAC lipstick, Hot Gossip to be exact. This lipstick was a hot pink with tons of shimmer, it was so NOT me! Regardless, I wore it in confidence, and received many compliments, and with that my love of lipsticks was born. My obsession is not just with any lipstick in general, its specifically with MAC lipsticks. They are always smooth, long lasting, and come in the trendiest shades. Personally I'm all about the matte finish when it comes to lipstick because it's so velvety, has a retro vibe, and I've found that it last the longest. Im no makeup artist, but pick the right shade of lipstick for your skin tone! This is a cardinal rule in wearing lipstick because someone who is fair like me, usually doesnt look so well in a beige nude, because it tends to wash us out, but when we look for a nude with a pink undertone, its very ikely that shade will look 10x better. Being a fair skinned gal, I can tell you its fun to experiment with different shades because there is so much to choose from. Regardless of your skin tone, make sure you take a moment to try on the lipstick, and consult a MAC goddess before buying the wrong shade. 

Many ask me " Why do you wear lipstick so much?", ummm first of all because I'm a boss ass b*tch and I can do whatever I please, and second of all, it makes me feel FABULOUS! I love to use a light pink like MAC's Nouvelle Vogue or Pink Noveau for my everyday lipstick, a hot pink like Pink Pigeon when I'm feeling flirty, and of course red lipsticks like Damn Glamorous or Ruby Woo for when I'm feeling sexy and powerful. No matter what type of day I'm having, I know there is a perfect MAC lipstick to match my mood, or should I say shade ;). Leaving the house without lipstick is a total sin in my book, very similar to leaving the house naked!. Don't get me wrong, some days I wanna be in "sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on" but why not rephrase that to "sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with MAC lipstick on"? 

The funniest part for me is when I'm dating a guy, and I'm wearing a hot pink or red lipstick, and he hesitates to kiss me because he doesn't want lipstick on him. Umm... Byyeeeeeee!  Ladies hear me when I tell you this should be a total red flag, because if he truly loved you, he'd want your "purple kisses" all over him, and when I say all over, I mean head to toe #sorrynotsorry! Lets hear it for the dudes who put up with our lipstick stains, and the multiple personalities that go along with them! 

So my advice to all my babes out there : Throw on some lipstick (Preferably MAC), go out, && conquer the world! 

Below you'll see how addicted I really am:
