Everything We Loved In September: Fashion & Beauty Favourites

It’s officially knee-high boots season! The Lucid Black Leather Boots by Steve Madden feature a pointed toe and a mid-height stiletto heel – and they also come in burgundy. They look super flattering on, and pair perfectly with skirts and dresses. We won’t be putting these away any time soon!

If you’re on the hunt for a go-to mini for fall, this one from Gap is an excellent choice. It comes in regular, tall, and petite sizing. We opted for the tall version simply to add some extra length on the hem and haven’t stopped wearing it ever since.

There’s no time like the beginning of fall to channel your inner Blair Waldorf with a headband. The hair accessory makes any look instantly more feminine with no effort! This satin-finish one from Simons has been a go-to this month.

Varsity-style shirts and sweaters have been having a major moment as of lately, and we’ve joined in on the trend with Roots’ new Signature Polo! It features the new Roots font – which we are quite fans of – and comes in the brand’s gender-free sizing (so everyone in your household can enjoy).

New frames for fall, anyone? We’ve been loving switching out our frames to go with our outfits recently, and with Bonlook’s relatively affordable selection, our glasses can easily act as an accessory. Plus, they can also be made into sunglasses!

You can never have too many rings, and Mejuri’s Puffy Charlotte Ring has become the perfect classic-meets-statement jewellery piece for every day.

Finding the perfect pair of jeans isn’t easy – but when you do, you never let them go. Aritizia’s Denim Forum Farrah Jeans are our definition of perfection, with their straight-to-wide leg fit and high-rise silhouette.

Editor’s pick: After searching far and wide for a dress for a particularly fashionable wedding, I finally decided to give a dress rental service, The Fitzroy a try on a friend’s recommendation. I was skeptical at first, not wanting to spend money on a dress I wouldn’t get to keep – but I am officially a dress rental convert. How often can you re-wear a sequin-adorned tulle dress, after all?

The boutique had endless options to choose from across a wide variety of sizes, and I picked out and left with a dress the same day of said wedding (stressful, I know).

By using Naturium’s The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash, you’ll leave your shower feeling clean and ultra-moisturized, as it turns from a luscious oil consistency to a gentle lather. Seriously, you won’t even need to apply moisturizer afterwards if you don’t want to.

Who needs high-end, expensive mascaras with Maybelline around? The brand’s new Lash Sensational Firework Mascara provides volume and length to the lashes without the clumps. Plus, it takes very little effort to apply, which is always an added bonus when it comes to mascara.

This month, it’s been all about cool-toned makeup looks. Makeup by Mario’s The Neutrals eyeshadow palette can create so many different cool-toned eye looks with very little skill needed.

We were already huge fans of the original Burberry Goddess fragrance, so when the brand came out with an Intense version, we couldn’t wait to try it. And we’re sorry to say, it has completely replaced its predecessor (for now). With notes of Quatuor vanilla, lavender essence, and patchouli, it’s the perfect fall fragrance.

Add a pop of Bordeaux to any look with this Essie nail polish! It truly is the colour of the season.

As the weather gets cooler, the air gets dryer, and so does our skin. So, we take moisturizing very seriously in the colder months. We’ve probably raved about Innisfree’s Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Cream before, but it’s just the best. It feels super soothing on the skin, smells lovely, and of course, leaves your face feeling and looking super hydrated.

Clinique’s iconic “Almost Lipstick” in Black Honey is a great year-round lip colour, but it’s particularly beautiful for the fall season. Swipe it on for a light wash of colour, or build it up to make more of a bold statement.
