Love these 8 Makeup Tips for Fair Skin - especially the one of trying eyeliner a shade or two darker than your eyeshadow. Sometimes black gets old and I want to change things up, definitely trying this!

Keira Knightley Poses Nude, Unphotoshopped.

Keira Knightley has posed toppless under the caveat that they don't Photoshop her breasts to be the same size or bigger. She said, "I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it's paparazzi photographers or for film posters."

I love her message to embrace who you are, because we are all perfectly imperfect!

5 Favorite Fall Sweaters for Fair Skin with Warm Undertones

Following up my 5 Favorite Fall Sweaters for Fair Skin with Cool Undertones post, here are my favorite fall sweaters for fair skin with warm undertones. While a lot of very pale and fair people have cool undertones, those with fairer skin that tends to be less on the "super white" side of the fair skin spectrum can have warm undertones.



Here are some of my favorite picks if you have pale skin and warm undertones (if you're not sure, find out here):


Love this knit turtleneck in camo, especially paired with a leather skirt or pants. $25 Old Navy


Cozy up in this Dropout cable sweater in burnt orange, $78 Nasty Gal


Be warm and gorgeous with the Lani Sweater in Silver Ebony, $89 Emma Stine


 This sweet Weekday Textured Knit Sweater is made a little sassy when paired with leather pants , Asos $104


This stunning gorgeous stitch detail pullover sweater in Smoked Plum is perfect against the backdrop of warm-toned skin. Target, $25

What are your favorite fall sweaters?

5 Favorite Fall Sweaters for Fair Skin with Cool Undertones

Yay, it's fall! A Porcelain's favorite time of year! Why? No blistering sun + rain + foggy dark skies = we can run around outside with reckless abandon, not trying to find the closest shade spot to walk/stand in. (Although we should still wear sunscreen)



If you have pale skin and cool undertones (if you're not sure, find out here), you're going to love cozying up in these sweaters.


I love elbow patches! This purple sweater with black elbow patches is available at Asos for under $45.


This blue cable knit crop sweater features a mock neck and rounded hem. I'm in love with the pattern on this sweater - a hint of bodice. $78 at Nasty Gal.


This sweater is the August Sweater in Aspen Blue, but I want to call it the "coffee and rain" sweater, because it is the perfect sweater in which to sip coffee while looking at the rain outside. $198 at Emma Stine.





I love that they used a porcelain model for this sweater, and a ginger at that! Score 1 for the paleys. This cable knit sweater is perfect and budget-friendly, so feel free to get all three :). $45 at Gap

I had to. I mean, how could I not? Sweater? Check. Holiday appropriate? Check. Home Alone reference? Check, Check. This sweater is definitely going to be making an appearance at one of my holiday appearances. $29 by Dentz Designs on Etsy.

And fear not if you have warm undertones - that's next!
