Don't stress!

Are you traveling for Thanksgiving? Or are you sticking close to home? Chances are you have been so preoccupied by planning the dinner, that you have forgotten about your own personal needs! No matter if you're traveling cross country or just a short way, you'll need some beauty products to get you through the day.We have a few suggestions.

You'll want to look your best in all those pictures! Lets start with concealer.  You're going to need to cover up those dark circles under your eyes. You've been traveling or up late baking pies. It happens to the best of us. Thanksgiving is a stressful time! Do yourself a favor and invest in this creamy Bobbi Brown concealer. It's going to cover up all those imperfections. It's an instant transformation from a turkey basting zombie to a flawless dinner guest. You'll be amazed! 

It's a really busy week! Braving the busy grocery store, traveling or hosting guests at your home. And we can't forget about all the cooking! So in between arranging flowers for the table and fending off your in laws, take a you moment. Light a candle, play some music and paint your nails. Such a simple activity but it might just keep you sane. We recommend this beautifully pigmented polish by Tom Ford. Go for it!

Before you know it, it will all be over. The dishes will be washed, the leftovers put away and everyone laying around in a post turkey stupor. And you're exhausted and ready for some sleep! Take off the day and your makeup with MAC's cleanse off oil. This stuff works like a charm! And it's not drying like other makeup removers.

All of us here at the Latex Store wish you a very happy Thanksgiving! We're thankful for all you! Thank you for choosing us to make your latex dreams come true!

Time to get cozy

Ya'll... it's time to get cozy. Bundle up!! Let's all stay warm... and stylish this fall and winter. Check out some of our favorites!

Let's start up top. A hat is a must when it's cold outside. Keep that body heat in! Try this hat on for size. It's by Tory Burch and we think it's has a royal look to it! We love the bling and details. Yet basic enough to compliment any outfit!

Faux fur. It's a huge trend this winter. And we give it two thumbs up! It's classy and polished. And you can pull it off on a budget. Check out this scarf from H&M. Doesn't it look warm? We're ready to embrace this look. 

Now, lets keep our hands warm. Protect them from the fierce cold! And in style too. These gloves by Acne Studios are our pick! We love the long length and rich color. And that zipper! We adore it.  

There. We are all warm now, right? Perfect! 

Take a walk on the wild side

Looking to shake things up? Be a little naughty? Take a walk on the wild side. Right this way...

There's something empowering about wearing all black. Bad ass even. Instead of blending in, you stand out. That's certainly the case with this Alexander McQueen dress. The tight fit leaves little to the imagination. And the white, spine detail adds real edge. We got one thing to say. Do you want to be the dominatrix of the office?

Behave? No, that's boring. Show your bad side with your jewelry. You heard us right. Check out this handcuff cuff by Jennifer Fisher. What a beautiful piece. Add it subtly into your Friday night out outfit. It's sure to bring out your better, bad side. It's a good thing. We promise...

Why just one strap when you can have a dozen? Oh you know, just for good measure. We're a big fan of the straps and buckles. Especially on this pair of heels by Isabel Marant. The criss cross pattern of the straps is quite mesmerizing. It make take a little bit of work to get into these shoes. But it's oh so worth it.

Don't you have a kinkier side just screaming to be let out? It's okay to flash a little bit in your everyday look. It's certainly a high fashion look that's always in style. A little bit of leather never hurt nobody.

Stay ahead of fall and winter dry skin!

Dry, cold weather is upon us. Deny it all you like. But it's time to start taking preventative steps! Dry skin and hair is a huge pain! Take a few tips from us and stay moisturized all fall and winter long.

Cold mornings are the worst. Cold nights too... So, how about a warming facial cleanser? You heard that right! Boscia makes this detoxifying black charcoal cleanser. As it suds up, it warms. Kinda neat, right? And the charcoal draws out impurities and excess oils. And there's vitamin C too! Which is proven to brighten your skin tone.

Is your hair feeling a little dry too? A great moisturizing shampoo and conditioner will do wonders! Treat yourself with the creme de coco bumble and bumble duo. It's ultra hydrating for even super dry hair. And that coconut smell will transport you to a warmer place. Even if it is just in your head.

So give yourself a little TLC. Give your skin and hair the extra love it needs around this time of the year. You deserve it!!

The Alexa!

Welcome back to the blog. It's the first official first week of fall! This week's outfit just reminds of Autumn! Let's get started!!

This is the Alexa.  It's a super short and sassy dress from our Too Short Collection! It a must have basic dress.

The crew neckline is much different from our other styles. And although it isn't super revealing, we still think the Alexa is smokin! 

It's so sleek and tight. If you want to show off your body, this dress is the way to go!

The full zipper in the back makes getting in and out so easy! Check out the additional photos to see it in silver. We're just crazy about the Alexa!

Bras are for squares

Bralettes are amazing. Seriously though!! Bras are uncomfortable and you just don't need that in your life. Check out these great alternatives!!

See what we're talking about? We absolutely love this teal bra. It's so light weight and comfortable. And what a gorgeous color too. So lacy and girly!! Try pairing this with dresses or lightweight blouses. What a great look!

Heidi Klum knows what's up! This racy red number comes straight from her line. And we are all about it!! This piece is so unique. We love all the lines, all the lace! Pair this one with a see thru shirt. Show this baby off!

Oh, we love a good bright color! And this one really hits the spot. We love the design too. And that criss cross back is so comfortable too. So much fun!

Oh, just loafing around

Loafers. Yeah, a little mature...  But actually no! They are the shoe for fall. All different styles to choose from with a ladylike quality to them. Just take a look.

Where to begin? How about something basic. Like this pair by Everlane. You have to admit, they are smart looking! The heel and the shape of the shoe. We would pair these with a bright pair of tights. You can really show of the color!

I've got my blue suede shoes! Seriously. Right here. Check out this pair! So shiny and fun! And they are basic enough to work with a variety of outfits. We're pretty sure are going to want to wear these everyday. We don't even own a pair and we want to!

And this post wouldn't be complete without a little bit of color. And this yellow is just gorgeous. We're are practically drooling over this pair by Vivienne Westwood. Check out the herringbone fabric and embroidery detail. We are in love. They are just so smart looking!

So get out there and go shoe shopping! You deserve it! Will you go with loafers? We sure hope so!

Badass!!

Ya'll, it's that time again... coat shopping. Some of you will embrace it with open arms. While others shy away and ignore the fact that winter is coming. Now, we don't mean to be harsh. But we don't want you to be left out in the cold!

Here, how about this... let's just talk light jackets for now. Nothing too long or puffy. Just some of our favorite leather jackets, perfect for fall 2016!!

We all have that deep underlying desire to be one badass chick or dude. Walking tall and acting tough. Nobody dares to mess with you! Okay, so maybe not. But you can certainly dress the part! Take this classic by Moschino. A true thing of beauty. Sleek black leather and beautiful gold hardware. And that belt and buckle action around the waist? Very, very nice.

Do you like the appeal of a leather jacket but desire a more feminine touch? Say no more. This jacket by Barneys New York is what you want. Classic shape and black leather, oh course. But that floral embroidery!! Ah, the best of both worlds. Bad girl with a softer side.

Okay, maybe floral isn't your style. But you still want a less traditional style jacket. You have options, don't worry! May we suggest this bold piece by Off White? We are feeling those sleeves! Such a different look but we are all about it. We're also digging the silver hardware. Now that's a good look!!

Falling into fall

Can we agree that dressing for that transition between summer and fall is incredibly awkward? It's chilly in the morning yet pretty warm mid-day. Of course, we recommend getting you layering on. Or just throw on a dress. Really, it's that simple!

Check out a few of our favorite fall dresses!

First up? This lovely Tory Burch. The short sleeves are perfect for those fall days. And the little square pockets at the waist? Cute! We love the shiny, satin fabric and floral design. It has a kimono flair to it. Perfect for the office and happy hour!

We love a good shirt dress! Super functional and pulled together. This one by trademark? Perfect! Such a simple frock. It has great shape to it. A really crisp look to it. Add in your own statement necklace and a high pony. You're ready for the office!

A functional pocket dress works outside of work and daytime activities. Trust us! Take this one by Kenzo. It is a beautiful nighttime dress. We love the structured look and full skirt. And the color scheme and pattern is so unique! It's really something different. Dare to be different!

Easing in to fall

Looking for ways to keep your fall wardrobe looking fresh? It doesn't take much, we promise! Check out these itty bitty pleated skirts. So cute and easy to wear! Fall fashion just got way way easier.

We just love this basic skirt! It has great shape and structure to it. And the little chain is the perfect detail. You can dress this skirt up or down. Try it with a vintage band shirt and some doc Martens for a fun night out! Or dress it up with a collared shirt and a statement necklace. Either way, you'll be coming back to this skirt time after time.

What a great skirt for the office! It's plenty warm for the morning commute. And it adds a fun bit of color to your office style. Try this skirt with some fun colored tights or knee high socks. And this skirt will easily transition into winter as well!

And for a real wildcard... this leather skirt from Polo Ralph Lauren! It's a great little number. Great for nights out on the town. And it would look great with one of our latex tops!!

Stepping into fall style

Well, it's August. And we can't help but start thinking about our fall wardrobes. What can we say? We're absolute suckers for muted colors, sweaters and closed toed shoes. We can't think of all that without getting a little overheated... but here are some shoes that will be perfect when the weather changes.

These are just right! We love these shiny black loafers from MSGM. There is just something about shiny shoes! We can see these with tights and a plaid skirt.  It's like a touch of that goth look you sported in high school but all grown up! And some spikes or studs. Maybe some dark lipstick? What a cool look!

We love shoes with a little whimsy! These are really something cute and fun for your feet! Check out these colorful lace-ups by Marc Jacobs. Ahh!! We cannot handle them! Pop on your favorite pair of cropped trousers and a button up top! Maybe add in some big pearl earrings or a pearl necklace. Quirky and adorable!

These flats are a bit crazy. But we just love them so much! Check out these glitter oxfords. They are so glitzy and beautiful! Skip out on jewelry and patterns. Add this pair to a basic outfit and they'll really shine!



 

Squared

Who is ready to talk fall trends? We sure are!! Time to start getting our fall fashion in check.

What's hot for fall, you ask? Box bags! Boxy, little shoulder bags with a whole lot of personality. Check these out and you'll see what we mean. 

It's clear that big, huge bags are out. No need to carry all that stuff around! Box bags fit you essentials plus a little extra. It's really perfect if you ask us! Check out this one. Basic black so it will go with everything. And we love the faux croc detail. A little bit of texture never killed nobody! 

Looking for your next Louis Vuitton? We have it right here! That classic canvas print we all know and love. This bag puts the box in box bag, that's for sure. And that gold hardware? Love!! 

Oh those fall...er, summer nights!

Three days into summer and we are already thinking about fall. It's terrible of us! But we are seriously melting over here!! As we focus on staying in the present and cooling off, take a sneak peek at this great fall footwear. Oh we just can't wait!

A pair of riding boots are classic. They pair perfectly with sweaters, jeans and long sleeved dresses. They are perfect for the workplace and weekend excursions. This pair from Chinese Laundry are just perfect. We love the reddish brown color. And the gold metal details are really beautiful. Try pairing these boots with neutrals and jewel tones. They are sure to complete any fall outfit. 

Ankle boots are another fun pair of boots to accessorize with. They certainly pack some sass! If you're looking for a more high fashion look, these are perfect for you. You can wear them with skirts at the office or for dinner. Then, pair them with tight jeans for a concert. We love this pair from J. Crew. The basic black color goes with everything. And the wrap around strap and simple buckle adds just enough to this basic pair of boots.  

Military style is very big this fall. That means army green jackets, brass buttons and you guessed it... combat boots! They lace up and have fun, worn look to them. We love to pair them with girly clothing pieces. A floral skirt, a lace top or a over sized hair bow. We can't wait to jump into a pile of leaves while wearing a pair. The Steve Madden Troopas are the perfect basic pair of combat boots. The stitching and faded gold details are just so classic. You need a pair of these this fall!
