BB Dakota recently previewed its fall 2016 collection, packed with a bevy of feminine, lace-adorned dresses and ultra slouchy and cozy cardigans. For a brand that is known so well for its amazing outerwear, other pieces make just a big of an impact this coming season. The brand aims to create non-fussy clothing that is both comfortable and affordable, which it certainly does with the fall arrivals. Favorites include the Reyes dress, the Kimber skirt, and the Richelle sweater, which are all perfect for an idyllic fall day. The pieces are fashioned out of super soft fabrics, and since most are in neutral, earth tones, they’re also extremely versatile with your wardrobe.
The brand overall executes a very free-spirited look and mood, which assertively continues well into 2016. Make sure to keep a look out for the new fall collection in stores and online in the coming months, and click through the slideshow above to see more of our favorite pieces.

The beloved retro (and value)-inspired U.K. beauty brand, Soap & Glory, has made a run for the money with the launch of its cosmetics line here stateside. The most recent line of products are super affordable and cover all the bases, including items for your eyes, lips, and all-over face. Noteworthy items include the Sexy Mother Pucker Pillow Plump XXL Lip Plumping Gloss, which comes in four versatile colors, and even tastes delectable. The gloss leaves your lips with noticeably more volume while also locking in moisture, and is priced at a mere $14.
Also worth trying is the Thick & Fast High Definition Collagen Coat Mascara. With collagen as a key ingredient, this product adds considerable volume to your lashes, while lengthening and curling them all at once. Start by applying one coat with the V-groove side of the 7-Sided Fan Flare-180º Brush, and finish by rolling the brush from roots to tips for maximum effect. You’ll be all set for all-day wear, again for a nominal price of $14. Other items include the Glow All Out Luminizing Face Powder, the One Heck of a Blot Instant Perfecting Power Primer, and the Kick Ass Instant Retouch Pressed Powder (pictured in the slide show above).
