{Trend} Easy Jewelry Styling Trick

Adding a bit of glam to your usual button down shirt can't be easier than this.

How to Color Block on a Budget?

Color Blocking is definitely one of the hottest trends. I got a chance to step out this weekend and I took that opportunity to color block........on a budget of course. For those who don't know, Color blocking is strategically pairing bold colors together.

Here is what it cost me to Color Block. I had the blazer and I paid $22.80 for the sweater (which I will be able to pair with multiple items) and the skirt was $6.50. All items from Forever 21.

Nude pumps is one of the best investments you can make, they go with everything.
Shoes from Nordstroms (Steve Madden)
Gold Necklace from www.girlprops.com
Gold Watch from Nordstroms (Swatch)

{Work Wear} Boy Meets Girl

Fall work wear anyone? Let's go back to basics.
Pair your button down shirt with a pleated skirt along with a neutral heels and bag to give that boy meets girl look. If you want to make it more glamorous, just add a chunky necklace below your collar. Now, do you just love this look?

Happy Monday luvies!

In fact, making the call early, most fun party of 2011!

Buck$ Night was an Australian Marriage Equality fundraiser so they can continue their amazing work fighting for gay marriage recognition. Congratulations and thank you to Alex Greenwich and AME, not only for a fabulous night but also for working so hard on behalf of the gay and lesbian community.

Now they say a picture says a 1000 words. I think you'll agree that these pictures show exactly how much fun Buck$ Night was. Enjoy!

{Beauty} Fall Nail Lacquer 2011

I haven't got myself into the glitter bandwagon like most fashionistas do but nonetheless, I'm lovin these shades for fall. It's a perfect mix of darks and neutrals that can match any fall trending outfit. I must grab a shade or two soon!

{LFW} Mary Katrantzou S/S 2012

Mary Katrantzou is a designer that I've recently discovered upon browsing through runway shows of London Fashion Week. Call me a newbie when it comes to London base designers but I'm amazed by her artful pieces.

Inspired by sculptor John Chamberlain, who is noted for working with crush steel and other found object, she manages to blend nature and industry with such a feminine flair. Accentuating the looks with bright coloured lips and messy up dos is definitely a knock off.

Now if Spring/Summer 2012 doesn't scream patterns and colour like this, I don't know what would.

Review on MAC's Future Length Lash Serum

What woman doesn't want long lashes, for goodness sake Elizabeth Taylor was born with a mutation of a double row of lashes that contributed to her timeless beauty. On my quest to achieve longer and thicker lashes, I started using MAC's Future Length Lash Serum. After about two weeks, I noticed a difference in my lashes, they were longer and thicker. Now for $30 this lash serum does not provide the same dramatic results you will get with Latisse, but I definitely noticed my lashes were fuller. This is a great product for women who may have lost their lashes due to a illness or from wearing false lashes. My co-worker, lost her lashes from wearing individual false lashes for so long, after using this product, her lashes have grown back tremendously.
