All About the Lips









Let’s talk about E.L.F. Cosmetics. 

One of my favorite beauty brands as I have been using their products for awhile now. Today I want to focus on their lip palette. Most of the time, I am mixing colors! I think it is so fun and neat to see what new colors you can create.

 For this look, I mixed together a pink and dark burgundy through layering. Mixing can be done by pouring a little of each color on your hand, mixing then applying. What I always do though is mix by layering so one coat dark burgundy and the next pink. Not only are both colors amazing alone, but they are fabulous together. I love the results! They go perfect with my blue and neutral outfit. 


When picking out this look, I was going after loose pieces. This outfit flowed nicely, making it great with summers breeze. Not too hot, but just right! As you can see, I wanted to keep everything very neutral. This outfit says a lot, with very little color and no patters. 

Those lips though. 

The Little Red Outfit

Ah, the little red outfit.

With my looks, I like to compliment them with “matchy matchy” tops. Like this red leather jacket. As you can see, I paired it with a red top. It gives a very sophisticated look that I love. During summer time, I often wear sleek looks.



“Fashion is what you buy. Style is what you do with it.”

Killing the sleek look all day long! The glasses are the perfect touch. Also, let’s not forget about these gold, dangle earrings. Just one piece of jewelry to not be over the top. The key is to find a happy medium to bring the sleek look.  

 



When in doubt, wear red. 



TOBI X F.I.T.S on Me

Hello All, 

My experience with TOBI was such a good one! What I like i about this brand is that you can incorporate within your wardrobe. I’ve had many experiences where you want to work with a brand. I would actually buy a couple more items from tobi! Their brand is a lot about being sexy in a classy way. I don’t like showing to much skin. This Two of A kind Mid Dress  has so much options to wear this dress. I choose to wear this dress over pants with a bomber jacket. I love how easy this dress is it compliments my skin tone and it’s not too much! 



My next was this The Morgan Color Block Maxi Dress same thing love the color and how it compliments my skin tone. I loved how it such a flowy dress you can dress up or down. Wear a shirt underneath or no shirt, so many possibilities that you can play around with this dress! 

Last pick this Tuscan Nights Off the Shoulder Dress oh yeah it’s a dress but you can definitely wear it as a top or dress either way works fine! I choose to wear pants underneath to give it more of a laid back look. I actually didn’t think it would work but I think it did. I like how this dress is not too tight but has such a carefree appeal. 

I would say my experience with tobi has been a wonderful experience that I really would recommend buying from the TOBI brand.

Hello All, 
Long time, you know your ready for fall to begin, when you want to start wear your booties and button-up tops. seriously, when you get to certain age you may want to dress your age. Like crop tops, I love crop tops but I can’t just wear crop tops showing all my skin. I like layering up a crop top which is cool because you remember…when you use to wear your vest sweater over a buttoned up top that’s how I relate crop tops to. 
On an occasion, I dress like how I feel so that’s how this outfit came about. I wanted to wear this crop top just finding the right clothing to wear with it. I honestly love to just mix and match but still complimenting my looks. 
Just have fun wearing your clothes cause that’s what it’s all about!!!!

AFW

Day 1 I arrived in Sydney Australia ready to go. I admit I planned so hard nothing every goes as planned. I had my outfits together lucky my intern had outfits that went with mine. It was like she was my sister thinking cosmically! As far as the shows,Their fashion is elegant and sophisticated but very on trend. They love to stick and support Australia designers which makes sense. Why not support your country. But what is great that yes most of designers brand are upscale brands. They are very much high quality that will last longer than a month or two months. Looking at how Australia Fashion Week is presented and showcased, I feel there’s much of a laid back in fashion, how people live, the food, the entertainment. Things there are not complicated or complex they live to have fun and enjoy life. You see that in the fashion shows. Everyone knows everyone especially in the fashion industry. They come together to support one another which is completely different from the US no offensive. I go to NYFW and I need a ticket and I won’t get in even if I paid at the door. You go to Australia Fashion Week you get in that day or five minutes before the show. It’s so different !!!!

Day 2

FUR JACKET X SPRING

Photo by: Miranda Drummond
WHAT I WORE:
H&M: Tee
Salvation Army: Fur Jacket
If you haven’t seen on my Instagram! I love fur I think it should be worn all year long…I mean you might sweat who cares right! So my friend/photographer got this cool fur jacket at the salvation army. I feel like no matter what store I go into whether its clothing, craft,  or even a furniture store I can stop and find a piece/item that can work within  my life. It’s like I have an EYE or something….. Even my nose is mad sensitive, I can smell something a mile away…which is really horrible…lol I should be a agent or something!!!! But anyway, I love this coat so much it literally can go with most of the colors in my wardrobe. This weather is crazy these days I’m still wearing my coats well light coats.
As Spring is here I’m retiring my fall jackets and this fur jacket! So here’s to my fur coats!!!
See you next time!!!

WHO WHAT WEAR X SPRING….

WHAT I WORE:
Target: Jeans
WHO WHAT WEAR: Floral Bomber Jacket
H&M: Embroidery Blouse 
Public Desire: Booties
NYS Collection: Sunnies
Hello All,
As you haven’t noticed I really love WHO WHAT WEAR, I think it’s just an universal brand. That captures for many different women regardless of their body shapes or sizes. I know for me, I have a big issue with finding that right jean…I’ll search and search for the perfect jean. Once, I find it I usually buy it if it’s within in my budget.
Again, don’t look or shy away from the WHO WHAT WEAR brand. I know I sound like an advertisement but I buy this brand believe in what it stands for. If I don’t use or wear something I’m not going to tell my followers or readers you need to get this brand if I don’t even wear or use it. That’s just silly…I go to target when I can’t find something to wear and 10 times at 10 I get the WHO WHAT WEAR brand. I know that it’s going to incorporate well into my wardrobe. It’s ideal for the ultimate working women that needs to add some spice to their closet.
Let me tell you, I’ve gone to work people ask me where did you get that top or skirt or pants…I’m like at Target and the brand is WHO WHAT WEAR….I really love this bomber jacket if you remember I wore it at NYFW. I was totally ready for spring! It’s such a cool print it can go with black slacks or boyfriend jeans. It’s definitely a hit in my closet! I tend to wear it on repeat..hehehe…It’s perfect for the spring weather when it’s a little windy outside!
