Check out the Makeup Tutorial for this makeup look

For this look, with the bold earrings taking center stage, I wanted to do a fun shoot and also did not want to have to go outside into the cold. So I found little Pheebs in this sun spot and figured she had the right idea! So my mom started shooting and only after I checked some of the images did I notice the shades casting the cool shadows across my face. I loved the effect so we continued to shoot. I like how the stripes contrast with the texture of the sweater. Pheebs of course wanted to be involved with the shoot as well :) as well as not giving up her sun spot.

How do you style your bold jewelry?

Search Over: Perfect Leather Moto Jacket Found!

Remember my Finding the Perfect Moto Jacket: Save or Splurge post last month? Well I was finally able to make a decision ...and the winner was the Bernardo Asymmetrical Leather Moto Jacket (it is currently sold out but I have linked another similar one below in the Outfit Details).  

So I am absolutely head over heels for this jacket! It fits perfectly and I like the knitted panel on the inside of the arms for added comfort when layering. I can use this jacket with a badass outfit, use it to dress down a party dress or pair it with this vintage boho chic outfit I have on here. 

The bag is also new, I got it from Person Mall. They have great trendy pieces for very inexpensive! So if you are looking to add something to your wardrobe but can't splurge on the real thing, this is the place to go! 

Finally, I have this great headband from Prairie Charms that I previewed earlier in the Fall but never had the chance to pair it with an outfit.  The shoes are a new acquisition from Cyber Monday, I got them with the buy one get one deal at Macy's  ( same as the black ones in my last post). 

This time of year is so dangerous for shopaholics and collectors of shoes, because all of the deals and specials out there will drive a person crazy and eventually you have to give in and get much "needed" items that are essential to living! I not only got amazing deals on items for me but I also was able to get all of my Christmas shopping done! 

Happy Shopping everyone!

Temporary Reprieve from the Cold

This is an outfit I got to wear a few weeks ago, when I got back from Florida and the weather warmed up, granted it was a bit rainy but at least I didn't have to be wearing a heavy jacket. I love it when the weather decides to be warm instead of the dreadful cold. I am able to take out some of my spring clothes and roll my jeans up so I can show off these cute shoes! 

shoes: Ivanka Trump from Macy's 

 When I first saw these shoes, it was immediate curiosity and then once I tried them on it turned into love. I did not get them at first, I got a cute pair of wedges that I could wear to work instead. Then I was on a little shopping outing with my mom and sister and there they were in a totally different Macy's, I took that as a sign and had to snatch them up! 

watch: Fossil

shirt: Cabi, jeans: Sfera

 Unfortunately lately the weather has decided to be very cold and be windy. Definitely not fun. 

Stay warm everyone! Hopefully we will have a nice reprieve from the cold soon! 

Enjoy & Be Beautiful!
