This Jill Albert Turquoise Ribbon ring caught our attention even though we rarely wear yellow gold.
Also available with white topaz or garnet stones, this intricate ring would make the perfect accessory for upcoming holiday outfits.
Teen Corner Fashion Update

Hello Fashion Frenzies!
Fall is here which wakes you up from the fun filled summer dream and drags you into the nightmare of school! However (sorry for the outburst!) I am actually looking forward to the leaves falling this year. For starters, I get to add a new fashion twist here at Makeup Bag (so stoked)! Also fall gives the sense of a clean slate and freshly raked leaf piles of epiphanies to jump into. Of course, being the fashion addict I am, all the light bulb thoughts consisted of none other than clothes, clothes and more clothes.
This season, I must admit I had a small case of stylist’s block. After a full two season of obsessing over shift dresses in spring and summer I was a bit lost of where to go for fall. That was soon cured however when I saw images of Betsey Johnson’s show at New York Fashion Week. Although the collection was for spring her whimsical style and little accessories sparked the leaves to fall for me. I absolutely lavish accessories because they add a new twist to any outfit. With fun accessories I get to discover new ways to wear my beloved dresses. Here’s my top choices of accessories and trends for this fall:
Tiers of Joy!-Betsey Johnson Spring Ready to Wear 2009 Collection.
I love how these super cute tiers of fabric are flirty and fun. Add tights and a big fluffy sweater and this outfit could work on a chilly afternoon.
Punk Rock Princess with leather or lamé leggings!
While these platform booties aren’t practical for school, I would rock this look with a slightly less dangerous pair like the ones below or a nice pair of sleek black riding boots.
Belt Bulk Up-layering belts-Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring Ready to Wear 2009 collection
No need to waste time pondering which belt to wear— pile them all on at once for added color and dimension.
Plum Purple is the new red hot and not only for shoes but to lace throughout the whole wardrobe.
These Steve Madden purple suede booties and embossed snakeskin pumps, along with a few pairs of thick, cozy tights, will give my sweet shift dresses a fresh look for fall.
The Bobbi Brown Holiday collection is finally here, ladies!
In keeping with the holiday gemstone theme (Pink Quartz last holiday season; Sparkles & Rubies the holiday before) this season we’re blessed with the stunning Copper Diamond Collection.
Not only are there 6 new, limited-edition Metallic Eye Shadows and 6 new, limited-edition Glitter Lip Glosses, but there’s an amazing new Shimmer Brick shade called Copper Diamond.

The new, limited-edition Glitter Lip Balm is available in three shades:

Metallic Eye Shadow Collection
Glitter Lip Gloss Collection
Bobbi Brown Holiday 2008: Copper Diamond Collection is available beginning November 1st at department stores and online at bobbibrowncosmetics.com.
Last week’s Gossip Girl (my favorite escape from reality) was possibly the best episode I’ve seen yet.
Aside from the sick and twisted little games that Chuck and Blair play that are so very entertaining, the highlight of the night was Jessica Szohr, the gorgeous blue-eyed beauty that plays Vanessa.
Jessica’s overall look was impeccable but her makeup looked amazing. The smoky green eyes and wine colored lips offset her complexion perfectly. (Speaking of her complexion–Jessica’s flawless skin and exotic look can be attributed to her 1/2 Hungarian, 1/4 African American and 1/4 Caucasian nationality.)
To get this look, try:
This week, expect to see a little macky-macky between Nate and Jenny (how did I know this was going to happen!):
Don’t miss it tonight at 8/7c on The CW.
PS– Guess who makes a guest appearance next week?!
CYNDI LAUPER, baby!
