What's Trending Now: Circle skirts

Definition: a full skirt that comes down smoothly from the waist without darts or pleats. A skater style skirt that is longer in length (past the knees) and typically made from sturdier fabric.

Circle skirts are in for Fall as evident from their influx in appearance at recent fashion weeks and editorials. Similar to the still ever popular skater skirt, these full skirts fall from the waist, skimming past the hips and bum, making them great for those who are figure conscious or want to hide below the waist "problem areas".




Pull the circle skirt trend off this season by pairing yours with a fitted shirt and stylish heels. The fitted shirt keeps the outfit in portion and the heels will give back a few of the extra inches to your legs that the longer hemline takes away.

Francy Answers: How to transition your dresses into Fall/Autumn

Dear Francy,
I'm more of a dress and skirt kind of girl and now that the weather is getting colder, I was wondering if you have any tips for how to wear dresses in the Fall. This is my first Fall up north and I'm nervous about the transition. Thanks so much!

1. Tights are your best friend. Don't even attempt to wear a dress without tights (or a similar contraption for those into retro guarders and things) once the weather starts to get chilly. For some ladies the thought of wearing tights and stockings may cause them to conjure up images of their mother (or even grand mother) but these accessories are definitely not a thing of the past. These days tights come in thousands of styles, looks, and forms: all perfect for younger (and older) generations alike.

Makeup Monday: Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick

I recently fell in love with Stila's Stay all day liquid lipstick after I was introduced to it at Birchbox Local during this past NYFW. Unlike traditional lipsticks or lipgloss, this baby goes on like a lipgloss but drys like a matte lipstick, making it up there with sliced bread and cronuts. Stila's "Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick" is a godsend for woman with fuller lips such as myself, who struggle with getting lipstick to adhere to the inner portion of our pouts. Because it starts off as a gloss like consistency, it's easy to get a nice, even, full application over the entire lips.



Currently I've been rocking the shade Fiery, a beautiful red with a blue base and can't get enough! This is definitely one of my favorite shades and a must have for everyone's collection.

Comment below and let me know if you've tried Stila before or plan to?!

How to Use OCC Lip Tars

I'll be honest, when I first came across Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) lip tars, I was excited!...but confused. I was familiar with them from hearing numerous beauty bloggers and YouTube gurus gush and rave over them but few had ever mentioned how they use them. I (like I would imagine most people would) assumed they were simply used like lipgloss and generously slathered on lips unbridled (yes, it's possible to use them that way but remember a little goes a long way). So imagine my surprise the first time I used a tube and ended up with globs of brightly colored high pigment lip product all over the general area of my mouth. Determined to not give up until I found the land of "milk and lip tar" every other beauty addict seemed to have found, I did some research as well as trial and error until I finally found three amazing uses for these products (and right in time for the launch of their newest Fall collection).
