Loved It: Red Lips

On my nails I have Butter London Knees Up. Lips are Laura Mercier Lip Stain Scarlet and Mac Lip Pencil Cherry.  Eye colors by Laura Mercier in Stellar and Cafe Au Lait.  Eye Liner is also by Laura Mercier in Black Ebony. 

Loved It: Primped

As I'm sure you can tell (if you've ever visited my blog before) I've given my blog a much needed primping.  I've been unhappy with how it looked for a while now, but due to an unfortunate tech-challenged gene passed on to me from my mother, I haven't really known how to change things. The blog still needs a few tweaks which I'm planning on doing through the week- but for now I hope you like what you see!  Maybe this makeover will inspire fresh starts all around!

 

Loved It: Lavender Eyes

You know, for a makeup artist I really don't do enough posts about makeup.  I mean- it's basically my forte and yet here I am, week after week, not posting any makeup pics.  Well today I am turning over a new leaf. I hope you like it. 

I used (unless otherwise specified) Laura Mercier: radiance foundation primer; silk creme foundation in beige ivory; mineral loose setting powder #1; Bobbi Brown eye brightener in peach; secret brightening powder #1;  eye basic in peach; creme eye color in mauve pastel (limited edition. sorry!); eye colors in primrose, stellar and lavender silk (also limited edition. please don't be mad); eye liner in blue marine; faux lash mascara in black; blond eyebrow pencil; cheek color in rose petal; peach mosaic; lip hydratint in rose; lip pencil in clover. 

Loved It: Baby, It's Cold Outside.

Jacket: H&M; Scarf, Hat, Belt,  Leggings, Sweater and Dress: Forever 21; Boots: Mia; Gloves: Vintage

Loved It: 25 Ways to Tie a Scarf in 4.5 min

I don't know about you but this time of year I cannot leave my apartment without a scarf on.  And I always feel like I wear it the same old way every time.  Not anymore.  Here's a quick how-to video you'll love. I'm feeling inspired!  Hope you enjoy it as well.  

Loved It: Winter Coats

Baby, it's cold outside.  And I hate being cold.  So, I bundle up when I go outside. I mean bundle.  I'm sad to say there have been one too many days I've ended up looking like a homeless lady with way too nice of shoes on.  But not this winter!  The key is a beautiful coat.  One that is heavy and warm and stylish.  Nipped at the waist.  Perhaps belted.  Maybe in a bright hue.  Here are a few of my favorite looks for winter and a link to where you can find a similar look.  It's time to start looking stylish no matter the temperature.
