Hot Eyeshadow by Gosh Cosmetics - A. Lachapelle

Want to look good from head to toe and stay on trend this fall? It's easy: all you need are a few key pieces.

This season, fashion and makeup are taking their inspiration from music, film and television.

Red and Silver Eye Makeup: This fall, eye-shadow colours are on fire! All shades of red are in, from fiery orange to bold burgundy to crimson red (think True Blood!) Once reserved for that sweet pucker, red has now taken over! However, red isn't the only shade you'll need: silver eye make-up is the perfect night time accessory. To stay on trend, highlight your smokey eyes with a stroke of grey: shimmery or glittery, in bright sterling shades or gunmetal, the choice is yours
Plaid Accessories: Plaid is in, but have no fear: there is no need to revive 90s grunge and resurrect the spirit of Kurt Cobain. If you are not sure that the boyfriend plaid shirt is right for you, keep it subtle yet on trend with small plaid wardrobe accents such as plaid scarves, or indulge in a gorgeous tartan woollen cape or a plaid fall coat.
Shoulder Pads: Yes, we thought they were gone forever, but big shoulders are back, and out to there shoulders are everywhere! Make the style work for you by pairing bold-shouldered blouses and narrow skirts for an office look that screams fierce.
Ankle Boots: Ankle boots are everywhere this season, in every shade from bone to pink to classic black. Try a sexy stiletto with a pointy toe, to go from the office straight to cocktails, or an open-toed number for those early fall nights out on the town. Payless makes a style that is chic and affordable, as does H &M – or splurge on those Town Shoe beauties you've been coveting!
Glamorous Bras: Make the most of your figure with a hot new bra. Wonderbra's Full Glamour Collection celebrates a woman's every curve, and it does so in style: the gorgeous seamless underwire bras and sexy lace push-up bras are guaranteed to make you feel your best day and night, while the company's High Impact Sports bra offers support and coverage at the gym, and during your morning run.
Chanel Everything: When it comes to glamour, nobody did it better than Coco Chanel. The designer is hot this season, with movies galore coming out about the infamous fashion diva. Not sure you can splurge on Chanel chic? Add a splash of Chanel to your own personal style by investing in one essential classic: Chanel No. 5 eau de toilette. It's what Marilyn Monroe reputedly wore to bed, and it's the only thing a girl ever needs to feel sexy, night or day.
