Scarlet Lips|| 3.1

Today's post features the first of a three part series/ review of three shades of the new Maybelline Color Elixir lip gloss, received in courtesy of Refinery 29 and Maybelline. I have to admit the timing couldn't have been more perfect. When Refinery and Maybelline contacted me to try out this product, I was searching for a perfect gloss because the cold winter air was causing major havoc to my lips (and my sanity). Dry Chapped Lips, certainly not cute at all.

Today, I'll be taking my fave lip color for a spin; a shade in red, naturally- The "Maybelline Color Elixir in Signature Scarlet"

         I'll keep this simple: Do I love it? Absolutely!
 It's everything you need for a sexy red pout all in one sleek tube. The lipgloss has a nice silky feel and is highly pigmented, I didn't even find the need to reach for my lip stick for more color. Coming from a lip-stick junkie, that says a lot. It's Perfect for the winter months for ladies like me who have "thirsty" lips. I wore this for hours and didn't have to reapply. My other lip products are going to have a major complex soon, or worse turn green with envy. 

Outfit
   If you don't want to have to reach for that sparkly dress this holiday season, try this look with a little pop of color, leather details ad sparkly accents!

One LBD: Two Ways

Hey Guys,
           When we think about how to style a black dress, we think neutral or statement shoes to spruce up the outfit. Since almost all of us already know this. I opted to style this sassy black dress form shoproxx a little differently (sans Jacket).
                 1. Pair it with a statement skirt for a holiday party. 
The top keeps it elegant and the skirt adds so sparkle and shine to the outfit. It's the holidays and nothing says holiday like a pair of glitter pumps. Try a pair in gold, it glams up any outfit.

 2. For a night out with the girls or for a warmer look, try some tall boots . Also adds some contrast with the short hemline. Top off with a cape or Jacket and have fun with it.

The Shirtdress

        Starting up the new week with a post featuring this little number- a Joe Fresh shirtdress also at JCP.
It was literally love at first sight, with what look's like a mixture of camouflage and floral prints.
It's the perfect combination of comfort and style (and affordability, of course). It's got pockets, I don't know about you guys but I love the little unexpectedness of dresses with pockets: perfect for my Iphone that I keep dropping and cracking.
(I have been discovering lots of cool pieces at JCP, quite frankly, I love the new JCP).

 There was a battle of purses. I debated between highlighting the green or highlighting the mustard elements in this dress. But instead of sticking with one color, I thought "why not do both?!"  By simply changing purses I accomplished . I styled the dress both ways. No Jacket means warm day! Yay! Guess which purse I ended up wearing out.

Lace and leather

Hey guys,
              Just a quick hello since I've been m.i.a! Been busy with work and school (you know, the boring stuff).
The shoes I'm wearing were gotten almost three years ago and I finally got to wear them for the first time. Bet some of you can relate, you buy something just because it's cute, and will probably never get to wear it?!

   My favorite things about the top I'm  wearing are the lace and leather details, especially the leather collar. This is one of the Prabal Gurung pieces you might still be able to get in stores, if you are lucky.
