how are fashions changing in the city now that summer is over?
it only gets better from here. the boots and scarves are starting to come out. also, there are great fall colors like plum, greens, and orange. they seem to be lighting up the streets of chicago.

regardless of location, what is one makeup tip every woman can implement in her routine?
