How 2 Remove Water Stains from Suede Boots

It's officially fall and one of the hottest trends I have been dying over is suede boots. I recently picked up a pair of over-the-knee suede boots from Aldo and, would you believe it, got a water stain on them within the first 5 minutes of wearing them. I was devastated and quickly ran to my coworker for her expertise. She told me a trick that was a life saver. She pulled a new toothbrush out of her desk drawer and said to buff it out with circular motions. After about a minute of buffing, the water stain had completely disappeared. This is a killer tip to know this fall when strutting your stuff in a fab pair of boots.

Become a Savvy Traveler!

September has been a pretty quiet month here. This Beauty Bandit has been on-the-go traveling for business and pleasure. But not to worry.. I'm back in action. It's officially fall (this girl's favorite season) and with Halloween right around the corner, expect a lot of fun posts! However, back to the non-stop traveling. My recent trips got me thinking about various must have products I have learned to pack while sitting in countless airports that have helped me become a savvy traveler. If you're ready to become a savvy traveler too, then keep on reading.

We all know travel days are not fun. A lot of times you are up at an ungodly hour and preparing your self to sit in an airport for what feels like forever before even boarding your flight and sitting on a plane for even longer. Here are some of my favorite items to take with me that help me feel fresh and fabulous during long travel days.

• L'Oreal Elnett Hairspray 
• Batiste Dry Shampoo
• Colgate Wisp Mini Toothbrushes
• Victoria's Secret Rollerball Perfume
• Sephora Hydrating Face Mask
• Bath and Body Works Hand Sanitizer
• Mini Hand Cream
• Vaseline Lip Therapy 
• Blotting Sheets
• Socks

These products have been serious life-savers for me! They would also make a fun and personalized present to gift to any of your jet-setter girlfriends. Hope you enjoy! Xoxo

Last but not Least of the Top 5 Fall Trends: Pleated Leather Skirts!

We've come to the end of our top 5 hottest fall trends countdown and there's nothing like going out on a high note. Today I am so excited to share with you a fall trend that is everywhere and that the inner rock chick in me has absolutely been dying over... Pleated leather/ faux leather skirts. Recently, every website I visit during my online shopping sprees has a pleated leather skirt option. It is seriously the perfect transition piece from summer to fall and even into winter. Pair it with a crop top or a tucked in blouse and some knee high boots for an edgy yet chic ensemble. Here are just a few I have come across:

Alice and Olivia Box Pleat Leather Skirt

Forever 21 Pleated Faux Leather Skirt

Material Girl Faux Leather Pleated Skirt

Charlotte Russe Faux Leather Skater Skirt

Top 5 Fall Trends Number 4: Bold Eyes and Lips.

Rules are meant to be broken, right? Absolutely! I'm sure every Beauty Bandit has heard this big no-no: bold eyes AND bold lips at the same time. Well this fall, be prepared to throw that rule out the window because this look is going to be hot! It's all about the drama and there is no better way than to pair a dark gray/black smokey eye with a deep plum or burgundy lippy. You could even deepen up those eyes with rich browns if that is more in your comfort zone. And don't forget your faux lashes to top off the extra vampy look! Here are some of my favorite products to help you unleash your dark side this fall!

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Standout

Nyx High Voltage Lipstick in Burlesque

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Poe
