Pink Friday

I was on the hunt to find a new bright pink lipstick. While doing so, I not only found a great lipstick, but a lipliner I fell in love with. The lipstick is "Girl About Town" and the lipliner is "Process Magenta", both by Mac. The lipliner is brighter than the lipstick, but they complement eachother nicely.

 Not the greatest application, but you get the idea of the color hopefully ;)





side note***Mac had a limited edition shade called "Pink Friday" that was advertised with Nicki Minaj. It is no longer available but I didn't want the title of this post to confuse anyone






Mac Lipstick  $14.50
Mac Lipliner  $ 14.50

Look for less: Leather Jackets

                                                           


I thought I would do a  look for less post on one of my favorite winter go to pieces, the leather jacket (real or faux). Personally, I use leather jackets more for their looks than I do for the warmth factor. A leather jacket, whether real or faux, is a great way to add a touch of edge to any outfit. Some people have the impression that leather jackets are always pricey. I suppose if you are wanting genuine leather, then yes you will be paying more. However, like anything in life, you can always find a cheaper version of something you like.
One of my favorite leather jackets is from H&M, it is faux leather yet I have people ask me all the time where I got it and how much it was. They are always surprised when I tell them $30!

As you can see in the image above, leather jackets can be very pricey. Diesel, which is a great brand that is more expensive, has one for over $1,000. No thank you! I love the faux jacket by H&M just fine.




I also  love grey so I had to include a look for less on grey leather jackets

         



     So remember, fashion doesn't have to be expensive. You spend what you want; if you feel guilty over splurging try to find the look for less next time!

Shoe favorite 2011

I was planning on doing a post of some highlights of 2011...but then I started to think about the low lights  and the whole idea lost it's charm. This year went by incredibly fast. Scary fast. I can remember last January very clearly and here it is upon us again. Anyone who enjoys soap operas would probably enjoy a story or two of mine from this past year, but I try to keep this blog fashion oriented. 

Having said that, in order to keep things superficial, today's post is this: My favorite pair of shoes from 2011.  This took me a minute to decide. Boots, heels, platforms, wedges, flats...it's hard to pick just one. I picked these Lauren Conrad nude heels. I have seen much more expensive versions that also come in other colors. I love the nude because it flatters the legs and can be worn with so many different things.

          I will try to never post about these shoes again, but what can I say? When you have a favorite, you have a favorite. These are easy to walk in and they can be worn with just about anything. They were also one of the lowest priced shoes that I bought this past year.

         What are some of your favorite things from 2011? 

Navy and Beige

I love navy blue. To me, navy is the new black, has been for a while. Anyways, there are several colors that I adore with navy, such as: red, yellow, bright pink and beige shades. Animal print also looks great with this classic color. I always love a good dress as well as knee high boots. Knee high boots are always a favorite of mine this time of year! Anyways, the outfit below incorporates some of my favorite things: navy, dresses, and knee high boots...as well as the great leopart print clutch. Simple and chic.
