Jouer Cosmetics Mad About Fall

What is it about film stars and television shows that can be so inspiring even when it is a blast from the past?  You see an old movie magazine photo and suddenly you want to Brigitte Bardot your hair. In Jouer Cosmetics case their new fall line is all about taking inspiration from the show Mad Men on AMC. 

Just like the women from the 60's the Jouer Liquid Shimmer eyeliners ($22) create that certain look we have all been looking for this fall.  I adore the Mink Liquid Shimmer eyeliner.  I am never able to apply liquid eyeliner but I can with this one.  It is so easy and mess free with real staying power. I was suitably impressed.  Paraben-free with Vitamins A & E the set comes in Fox (navy), Mink (taupe) and Sable (sheer aubergine). It is a water-based formula that dries fast and doesn't crease. The subtle shimmering shine is beautiful! I'm in love! 

You can purchase Jouer Mad About Fall eyeliners and any other Jouer cosmetics online.

Trends to Love


Just as I was thinking of re-doing my powder room in art deco it becomes a hot trend. My thoughts of putting Erte on the walls were spot on apparently.

Here's the thing- you can art deco it up anywhere, not just your home. Get inspired and add a chunky cocktail ring, a jet-beaded set of earrings or necklace. Learn to love squares and hard edges again. Those lovely tops sold anywhere from Target to H&M to uber-expensive sidewalk shops you can find an assortment of tunic, tanks and tees decorated with colorful jewels. Buy them! They are not now and they will be through the spring and summer.




Another new trend I love for winter and I am going to use it through on into spring (if you place it with black or khaki) is watermelon. I'm not saying the scent. I'm talking the color here ladies. Use it as a scarf. An accent bag or belt. Toe nail polish if you aren't feeling too daring or committed. Against black it pops and looks divinely juicy. It is loads of fun and adds a bit of fun to your sometimes drab winter ensemble.

Those are just two trends to love right now....
