Miss Bright Eyes

While I am usually a person who tends to go towards more neutral and pale colors in the makeup, I just can't resist this fun, bold eye makeup look! High fashion runway designers have been using this makeup technique on their models a lot lately because it really gives the runway show an artsy and fun feel. So do what the runway models do and wear a makeup look that's more bright and bold this season!

Vivienne Westwood models go for a more bright, splotchy look.

Saying Goodbye to Winter...

Here in Florida we have officially reached a toasty 82 degrees and it is still getting warmer! Though I will definitely miss what little bit of cold weather we were able to have during our Florida winter, I have finally broken out my spring/summer dresses, brightly colored shorts, and of course flip flops (a Florida staple!). I believe today was the last day that I am wearing a cardigan sweater in the Florida heat for awhile(or until it gets a little cooler out!). I have now collected well over 12 cardigan sweaters by now and they all have a special place in my closet. What I found is that one simple cardigan can pull any outfit together so effortlessly and with so many patterns and colors, there truly is a cardigan sweater for every outfit and for every occasion. So as you can tell it will be sad to bid adieu to these staple pieces that carried me throughout fall and winter. Here is a photo of only half of my collection of sweaters, as all of them couldn't fit into the photo! Hope you all have a wonderful week! 

Stay on Trend for Less: Color-Block

Color-blocking has popped up all over the fashion scene for awhile now. Everyone from Marc Jacobs to Gucci has implemented this trend on their runways. It's a blast of bright colors and perfect for the spring/summer season. Below, I want to show all of you how to wear this easy and fun trend for less. Whether your entire outfit consists of color-blocking or you just have a simple color-block accessory, it is very simple to pull this trend off for less.    

Here is the trend as shown at a Diane von Furstenberg Runway Show

Urban Outfitters Color-block Dress- $59.00

Asos Color-block Bag- $116.55

Nine West Color-block Heel- $89.00

True Blue

What a find! Going through my mom's closet the other day I found these amazing bright blue pumps! Though these shoes are from the eighties they look brand new and fit me like a glove. I always treasure those unique vintage pieces that can transform an outfit from a good outfit to an outfit that just pops! While anyone could go out right now and buy the exact same shirt and pants that I am wearing in this photo shoot, it is pretty unusual to find these exact same shoes. Having said this, I now encourage all of you to venture out of your comfort zone and try on a bizarre looking vintage piece. You may be surprised about what a positive impact that piece has on your entire outfit!

What I'm Wearing: Forever 21 blouse, Delia's black jeans, Vintage pumps, Asos necklace

New Tutorial Videos

Starting next week I am going to officially start posting my youtube videos for hair and makeup tutorials! I think it's better to post videos of hair and makeup rather than just posting photos of it so that way all of you know the step by step process! So please make sure you check back on Monday to see those videos!

My Latest Fashion Obsessions!

I have many "fashion obsessions" that do come and go. Below are just some of the random items (some fashion related, others not fashion related) that really make me happy. While I am obsessed with small accessory pieces, I am also obsessed with my dog and his permanent smile.

 Vintage Rings- Perfect for that extra glitz and sparkle factor that every girl wants.

 Sparkly Pumps- While I'm not usually a big wearer of heels due to the fact that I am 5'8", every time to time I break these babies out to show off how sparkly they are.

        My Dog- Yes, not fashion related, but I'm still obsessed with him and just had to put him up here! With his permanent bed head appearance and teddy bear fluff there really isn't anything to not love about him. 

 

Spring Fever

Spring is finally here and with this season comes cute florals, light, nude colors, flouncy and bouncy skirts, and pretty, natural makeup. This photo shoot was so much fun! What girl doesn't love to twirl around in her backyard on a sunny day?  The whole feel to this outfit was light and airy. I am pretty much obsessed with nude colors because they can go with completely anything! This ruffly top(haha don't know if that's even a word!) really complemented the plain nude khaki color of the skirt. I tried to bring out the nude details from the top by pairing it with this skirt and then bring out the bright red/pink details of the top by wearing my favorite pink lipstick! Enjoy!

What I'm Wearing: Express Top, H&M skirt, Vintage Jewelry, Dior Pink Lipstick
