Essie

By Gisel Habibnejad New York Fashion Week is in full swing and we couldn’t help but notice all the fabulous fall beauty trends rocked by the attendees of the elite shows. We caught up with Miami fashion and beauty blogger Maria Tettamanti (The Wordy Girl) who reveals her favorite beauty products and trends she can’t wait to sport this season. The mother of two was raised in Cape May, New Jersey, but moved to Miami when she was younger and later earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida. Her quirky blog captures the essence of her bubbly personality while she expresses her experience and advice on all things fashion, beauty, travel, and personal development. MSM couldn’t wait to hear all about her favorite fall beauty trends this season: MSM: What’s your top fall beauty look? The Wordy Girl: I’ll never get sick and tired of a bold, red lip with winged eye liner. MSM: What new beauty trend can’t you wait to try this fall? TWG: I miss dark nail polish hues such as Essie’s “Vamp.” It feels strange wearing gloomy opaque colors during the summer so I always look forward to fall to bring on the dark polishes! MSM: Who is your ultimate beauty icon? TWG: I fell in love with model Helena Christensen ever since her starring role in Chris Issak’s Wicked Game video. She’s perfection. MSM: Go-to beauty secret? TWG: I’ve tried them all and Chanel’s Imitable Intense mascara works wonders. MSM: One beauty product you can’t leave the house without? TWG: Beauty for Real’s lip glosses. Not only is the lip gloss legit — its case beholds a mirror and light, too. Brilliant. MSM: Most exciting moment so far in your career as a blogger? TWG: Winning Racked’s “Best Miami Fashion Blog” honors and collaborating with cool brands that I love such as Dolce & Gabbana beauty has been amazing! MSM: Most enjoyed spots in Miami? TWG: You can always find me in one of these haunts: The Standard, Soho Beach House or Bal Harbour Shops. For more on Maria Tettamanti and her blog, please visit www.thewordygirl.com
