Why does it feel like fall already?? Where did my summer go? No
matter - fall is my favorite season. I love the way the air feels so
crisp and fresh; not fresh in a Springtime sense, more as a cleaner,
less humid contrast to the heat of Summer that really just leaves you
feeling greasy all the time.
Luckily, I have had the advantage to spend my last few weeks of Summer in Turkey. I came with my family for a cousin's wedding, and we stayed on for a couple weeks to see more of our friends and family. We also (of course) took advantage of our proximity to the Aegean coast and visited some ofmy our favorite beaches. Since I've been reproachfully lax in my postings since I left the US,
I'll try to make up for it over the next several days by sharing some of
what we were able to see, eat, and enjoy.
In the interim, I've not forgotten that it's Fashion Week in New York. Wish I could be there(!), but I'm not bratty enough to complain that I'm only in Istanbul at the moment. Is anybody else loving this darker shade of red for fall as much as I am? I'm not even going to tell you how much time I spent* trying on different shades/types/brands of lipstick a couple of weeks back to find this EXACT shade, only to settle for one that's not matte like this. (Matte is a good thing.) Then(!), I found this image on Pinterest, but the link has gone bad so I can't figure out the color...any ideas?

*Although I'm sure Cindy could, since she was gracious - or rather, patient! - enough to come along with me to almost every lipstick counter in the Houston Galleria..
