While Summertime is busy and buzzing with excitement and hot trends, it's not quite as magical as the Fall. It's time to break out the layers, the boots, and of course, the hot coffee! Here in the Northeast, it really hasn't been much like fall yet (even though it's late October!), except for a handful of breezy days like this one. I don't know about you, but I quite enjoy the change of seasons as it makes me really appreciate each one even more. The seasons are kind of like people, all different, colorful, beautiful and special in their own unique way. Take some time this season to appreciate the beautiful differences in everything around you, the gorgeous contrasts that wouldn't exist without the other, like a Carvaggio painting.

What I'm wearing this season:

√ Herringbone sweater coat.. I'm obsessed!

√ Light knit fringe scarf (I go heavier in the winter)

√ Gucci unisex aviators

√ Fall basics; medium blue jeans, layering tees and blouses

√ Low booties and loafers (not pictured here)

Beauty:

√ I went with a darker hair color this season (a first in a long time!)

√ Messy bun

√ Just mascara and lipstick because I don't have time for much else

√ Focusing on good skincare

Savoring:

Dark roast, as usual with a dash of coconut milk, coconut sugar blend, and my own pumpkin spice mix (same blend as used in this recipe).

With the spring weather slowly approaching us, it is time to swap your wardrobe with clothes that fit the new season. Now I know that changing up your wardrobe can be difficult especially if you are not a fan of spring trends, but I’ll help you navigate!

Making space is the first thing you need to do when organizing your wardrobe. Take out the clothing you definitely won't be wearing this season. Go lighter with your spring clothes so remove heavy sweaters and down jackets. Also, be careful with wearing something spring with something winter oriented like a down jacket and flip flops. Pick the current season and fully commit. But the one thing that I cannot stress more is the check the weather before getting ready.

The colors we wear are extremely important. Colors help radiate who we are and even have a psychology around them. Also, some shades do not look good on everyone. With that being said, color plays a big role in one’s winter wardrobe. For all of my super boisterous fashion lovers out there, super bright colors are definitely on trend this year. DKNY and Jason Wu were some of the contributors to this as neon is a hit. For those of you like me whose outfits are predominantly black on the day-to-day, there are some colors for us to wear. Khaki was also extremely big. Another option is to add pops of color to your wardrobe like blues, reds, and if you really want to commit wear some neon! Color opportunities are endless this season.

Now, here we go with looks one could wear. Stripes are extremely trendy this season, Opening Ceremony and Rosie Assoulin were the rulers of stripes this season; however, if you are looking for something more affordable check out ZARA. Whether they are primary or pin striped, it will work. Don’t be afraid of ruffles or seam splits! Two outlandish but totally my style trends are bath robes and waist-cinchers!

Hopefully my tips and research can help you slay all day!

We've got some exciting news! A Better Version of Youblog will now be featuring posts from a guest fashion blogger- Amber Corbett! This dynamic and accomplished young woman will bring you fresh fashion news right here on Byouneek before she advances to position of editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine ;-). Here's a just a little snippet of what this impressive lady is about...

Amber is a seventeen year old native New Yorker, and a junior in high school with a passion for fashion. She has traveled to eleven countries and has received the Presidential Awardfor Community Service. Miss Amber has developed a foundation entitled "It's A Small World," to inspire teens to travel in order to experience other cultures, and cultivate an appreciation for them. Amber has studied ballet since the age of 2 ½ and has been competing in pageants for over four years, having been the state titleholder for multiple systems. She's done it all while maintaining a high grade point average in school. Check out Amber's fashion blog at Ambersummerxo.com and stay tuned for her posts right here on Byouneek!

It's hard to believe it's been 16 months since my last official blogpost here on B.Youneek (aside from my regular social media posts and of course my other blog, the Fit Foodie!). In fact, that's exactly how old my daughter is now; and that last post was just a week before she was born 2 months prematurely. It's been a whirlwind to say the least, but my healthy little 16-month-old spitfire is really thriving and I couldn't be happier.. and calmer for that matter! With that, and her growing independence (yikes, toddlerhood!),

I'm ready and excited to get back to work and do what I love! Stay tuned for some new and exciting things to come at B.YOUneek, bringing you all that is beauty, fashion, fitness, wellness and pageantry! Also, keep a look- out for my ever- growing Fit Foodie website.. we are after all, family!

This Fall the smokey eye makes a combeback (as it usually does!), but with a softer more lived- in feel. Elle Magazine calls it the "easy smokey eye" which can be achieved in 5 easy steps as I did here.

Line top and bottom lash lines with a dark brown or black liner, and extend slightly beyond corners of eyes. Apply liner to lower water line if desired.Next, with an eyeliner brush, lightly smudge the liner to create a softer lived- in look.Apply a nude shadow all over lids with a fluffy shadow brushWith an angled brush, apply a medium brown shade all along the crease of the eyelid. *Color should be just dark enough to add some contrast and depth, but not overwhelming.Apply a dark brown shadow just at the end of eylid creases and blend outward, extending beyond corners of eyes.

Have any questions? Please post them, and thanks for reading!

We're so excited to announce that the Fit Foodie website, by B.Youneek's own Graziella B. Ventura is officially in full- effect! It contains Graziella's clean eating recipes, videos and fitness posts to keep your body at it's most vibrant and bYOUtiful! Check it out!

Get the Look:

Lips- Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor lip stain in Poppy Paradise applied just on the inner, center part of lips. Swipe a thin coat of your favorite lip balm over (I use Burts Bees), then apply Naked Dolly by Too Faced over the rest of lips, avoiding the very center.

Face: Origins Stay Tuned Balancing Foundation in Honey

Cheeks- Tarte Bronzer and highlighter in Park Avenue Princess compact and Tarte blush in dollface.

Eyes- Tartlette colors by Tarte: Force of Nature on the eyelids, Free Spirit on the brow bone and multi-tasker used as a wet liner with a liner brush. Mascara by Younique Fiber Lashes, and brows defined with Tarte brow powder in medium brown.

TIPS: blend, blend, blend for a soft and subtle natural look. Good brushes are key! I am using Too Faced Brushes, which I've used for years, plus a few extras from Sephora.

Hair- spring is the quintessential braid season, so I sported a subtle look here by just simply adding two braids to the face frame of my usual hairstyle, parted to the side. It works because it's not too contrived, yet a fresh change for spring.

One of my favorite ways to do fashion is mix up current trends with tried and true classics. The tank, skinny jeans and necklace are by Madewell (one of my new favorite companies), paired with your classic boat shoe by Bass, a Kate Spade Pisces astrology bracelet (a gift from my good friend), and lastly the gold leaf record bracelet by George Kamen, artist atWrecords by Monkey.
