Red Lips, Nails and Clothes


My sister is a firm believer that whenever you wear something red you look prettier. I think she may be on to something. 

I know I definitely feel prettier and happier when I have one of my red lipsticks on or am wearing a beautiful red polish. Even when I throw on that slinky red dress my confidence gets a little boost. 

This is an outfit I wore on a rainy Sunday, and I will admit the red sweater, lipstick and nails lifted the chill from the air a bit. 

This was another fun shoot I did with my mom as the photographer. The mannequin in the photo was a Christmas gift from my amazing sister, Chrissy. It is the perfect addition to my room! I named her Peach and she can act as a coat hanger, a table, style aid, or just something to lean on.

Chiffon and Tulle Ballerina Dress from Threadflip

This last dress (so far) that I purchased from Threadflip, Sarah Noh's closet, and that I wore for New Years Eve. I absolutely loved my outfit that I wore. I have recreated it for you!

I wore the dress with amazing shoes I got from Piperlime. They are from Sam Edelman. The dress is Alice Moon by Mooncollection. The tights I wore are from Macy's and are opaque black with white line up the back with a bow. I love bows if you haven't noticed :). 

For the photoshoot my mom and sister helped me with the photos and styling and as you can see we had a lot of fun. We decided to play around with a Venetian Mask I got while I was in Venice, Italy. The bracelet is from a small boutique in Spain and the pave style ring is from Hautelook. 

I hope you enjoy the photos.
