And the skirt wins



Some of you may remember my sequins.com post I did earlier this month.  I asked for your help in putting together my Christmas outfit. I was going to choose between my Forever 21 sequin skirt or my Loehmans sequin shirt.   After all of the responses I would then choose the item with the most votes.  Well guys we have a winner.  It's the skirt.

My apologies for not having a better pic with shoes included.  I was working with a house full of people with full bellies and taking pics was the last thing on anyones list of things to do.  I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas.

Black, Brown and Leopard

Hey beautiful people!  New York had some beautiful weather today and I took full advantaged of it by hanging on the stoop.  I paired my black faux leather jacket with my brown leather boots and for a little personality I slipped on my thrifted leopard skirt.  To compliment this look I rocked the fro which I think may be growing. Yippeee.

Accessories Galore

Happy Tuesday Beautiful people!  A few weeks ago I laughed it up, had a few drinks and took in a tune or two with my gal pals at Shecky's Holiday Night Out.  For those of you who are unfamiliar Shecky's is a shopping event that feature vendors, giveaways and a swell goodie bag.  As I perused each table I couldn't help but notice that there were accessories galore.  I love me some accessories.  It is my belief that a girl can never have to many accessories in her possession. 





I just love a statement necklace


Adding a cocktail ring to an outfit can definitely set it off



I loved this hat.  The added flower made of denim material gave this hat a little personality


                        


Color, color, color and more color

Winterized

Happy Thursday beautiful people!  I think by know you've probably guessed that my favorite color is red.   There is something so electric about this bright hue that has me in a color love affair.  So today while searching my closet for an outfit it was certainly a no brainer on deciding if I should go for jeans or my thrifted red pleated skirt. I've rocked this skirt a few times in the summer and was super excited to winterize this piece. Tights, layering and a good old coat all helped in putting this winterized look together.

Green Monster

You guys might recognize this green monster colored blazer from my Thrifterholic post I did a while back.   Since then I've rocked this colored goodness about two times.  On the third go round I decided to pair it with my striped shirt and lace up boots.

Peeking through Windows

The holiday season has to be one of my favorite times of the year.  Aside from the wonderful family gatherings and the comfort foods in abundance it's also the time of year where department stores show off their creative juices and deck out their stores front windows.  On Black Friday I took to the streets of fifth avenue and took  pics of a few eye dazzling store fronts.

On your Marc



Nothing sweeter than spending a Saturday with the editors of Teen Vogue and the latest fashions of Marc by Marc Jacobs.  Yesterday  I took my first steps into the well known department store Bergdorf Goodman to take in some music, sweets and fashion inspirations.  The event featured Teen Vogue Editors  top Marc for Marc Jacobs accessory picks for the soon to come holiday season.   Party goers were treated to sweet treats, mocktails, a giveaway ( two lucky peeps walked away with a Marc Jacobs bag)  and my favorite highlight since I wasn't among the bag winners was the  Minx nail applications.  Take a peek inside to see the festivities.

Fierce Spotlight: Simone


With my almost daily visits to Sephora and mountains of beauty products taking a permanent residence under my bathroom sink it’s safe to say I’m a makeup fiend.  And you know what I'm ok with that.  Mostly because I know that I don’t stand alone in my obsession.  In fact I found a good ol’ college friend, Simone who understands my unhealthy fascination with makeup, quite well.  As I was browsing her FB pics  (oh don't act like you don't stalk fb profiles too)  I was amazed by her stunning makeup looks.  It was hard to deny her talents with makeup.  I knew right away that I had to share her creativity with the masses.   After a few email exchanges she agreed to allow me to spotlight her and answered a few quick questions about her favorite products and how she got started with makeup.

1. What are your favorite products that you can't live without?
 My favorite products that I can't live without would be MAC lipglass (but there are a few I adore like Viva Glam VI), Urban Decay eyeliner in Zero or Milani's blue eyes liner and Covergirl Lash Blast in black. 

2. How did you get started with makeup? 
I actually started playing with my mom's makeup basket when I was a kid. She had this blue eyeliner and bronze shadow that I completely coveted when she wasn't looking (lol). 


3. Have you considered making makeup a career choice?
I have considered it for a long time. 


4. What is your makeup advice to live by?
My advice would be to remember to exfoliate and moisturize





Many thanks Simone for allowing me to share a piece of you on I wanna be fierce.  

So guys tell me are you a makeup fiend?
