There was a Christmas party I went to recently and despite still not being at my best, I decided to wear my new dress. I like the two piece trend for evening dresses because I feel like that can create very interesting combinations and it doesn’t hurt to show a sliver of skin when most…
Winter Nails: Birds and Pines and Snowflakes French Manicure
I was finally in the mood for a wintery manicure with the holidays coming up. Snowflakes were an obvious choice and worked really nicely with the white in the French tip decals I chose. This is more of an understated look, but I really like how it came out and I feel that it is…
Birds: Navy French Manicure with Foils and Black Birds
Birds are an image I really enjoy. I would wear the pattern a lot more in my clothing if I could find suitable items, but alas…This is another French manicure; though this one I drew with a jagged edge to add some visual interest. I also applied foils in a few random areas of the…
Holiday Dressing: My Picks for Holiday Party Dresses
Since we’ve come to the time of various holiday gatherings and parties, I decided to compile a list of some of my current favorite dresses for these events. There are dresses of various degrees of dressiness, formality and affordability so I hope you find something useful. They’re sorted by current price from low to high,…
Scarlet Thoughts: Black Floral Mesh Tunic, Red Top, Leggings and Knit Scarf
Red, red and more red! I love how bright and vibrant this color is and I love to add red elements to my looks! There aren’t many colors that have this effect and red has been deeply entrenched in our culture as the color of elegance and vixens. While I’m no stranger to head-to-toe red,…
Asymmetry: Asymmetric Floral Tunic, Navy Leather Leggings and Blazer and Black Leather Jacket
Hello everyone. When I stated this blog, I had planned to post three times a week on a regular basis and it seemed like that was initially going well. Unfortunately, life has a way of getting in the way of such plans eventually. I caught a particularly unpleasant strain of the flu that has all…
Black Nails: Black French Manicure with Black Cherry Blossoms
This time I decided to go with a simpler more elegant look. I also drew the French free-handed with the nail polish brush itself (not the most precise way to do it, but definitely the quickest). In the name of previously mentioned elegance and simplicity I matched my black tips to black cherry blossom decals….
Burgundy Cheetah: Burgundy Top, Scarf and Cheetah Animal Print Leggings and Black Trench Coat and Boots
I’m really gravitating towards red and burgundy lately (usually with some black elements). I’ve always loved the colors (burgundy being my all-time favorite color to wear), but I tend to vary my color schemes more than I currently do. I guess there’s just something about these colors that feels very fall to me and so…
All about White: White Trench Coat, White Cold Shoulder Knit, Statement Necklace and Boots
If you’ve seen some of my previous posts, you may have noticed that I like to wear black – a lot. It’s pretty much my go to color and it tends to make an appearance (even if it’s a small one) in most of my outfits. I also like its opposite – white. In fact,…
Teddy Coat: Pink Teddy Coat, Leather Skirt, Flared Sleeve Crop Top and Over-the-Knee Boots
Ah teddy coats; I’ve been seeing a lot of these this year, but I’ve actually had this pink one for at least two years (maybe longer). While I love how soft and cozy it is, pink is not a color I wear very often, but as it happened, I felt that today it was the…
