I was inspired by a skirt to create this look. I thought it would be fun to being out the teal/ aqua pattern of the skirt. I hope you enjoy this tutorial!

I love rediscovering pieces in my wardrobe. Yesterday I was moving all my winter clothes into storage & moving my Summer things into my closet–4 hours of ironing later–I came across this dress from F21 that I have not worn since Summer 2010.
I adore floral pieces during the Spring & Summer months and while this particular dress does not fit into this season’s current color scheme, it’s still vibrant & so much fun to wear.
What I love about this dress is the halter top & the exposed back. This dress is so lightweight and is proportioned beautifully. Because the back is so exposed, the length of the dress was a little above the knee but no where near short.
I paired the dress with a messy fishtail braid and kept accessories at a minimum. I kept the makeup soft yet smokey (you know how I do ;p) with colors that were bronzey & warm brown. I kept the lips a very subtle shade of coral.
I don’t proclaim to have the best brows in the world but for some reason, this has been a highly requested video and I hope you find it helpful–thanks for watching!
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a taupe makeup post this look was inspired by my latest issue of Glamour Magazine–I was flipping through and saw this beautiful messy yet sexy taupey makeup. I think it looks fabulous on the model but I don’t think the messy part would have looked too good while running errands! I cleaned it up, smoked it out and gave it my Nancy Valentino flare *lol*
I’m also including some photos with my new faux Alexander McQueen scarf. The man was a fucking genius (*RIP*) however, this chick can’t not afford his beautiful pieces so I’ve gone with faux & slightly tacky–I love it though.

You know I had to do the corny screen shot a lot of others have been using when doing this tag. I guess you can say I’m channeling my inner Aria? *lol* I’ve been lacking with OOTD post but that’s because I’ve been under the weather a bit–blah. Hope to get an OOTD post up tomorrow. Enjoy the tag!! xo
On Lips–Revlon Fire & Ice
You all know I’m obsessed with the smokey eye/ nude lip combo but I’m equally as obsessed with red lipsticks too. Here are some of the red lip products that I currently own.
From Left to Right: Revlon Fire Lipgloss, Stila Hugs Lip Glaze, Elf Lip Stain in Red Carpet, NYX Silver Plum, MAC Runaway Red, MAC Russian Red, MAC Viva Glam Cyndi, Revlon Cherries in the Snow, Revlon Fire & Ice, Revlon True Red, MAC Lip Pencil in Brick
I don’t have many red lip products in my collection but I do have enough to differentiate between seasons. When you think about it, there are so many tones & undertones to a lip gloss and lipstick. here are some of the red lipglosses and lipsticks that I own.
Now for the messy part…swatches…

Spring is most definitely in the air. Here are some of my “must have” beauty & fashion favorites of the moment…
A few days ago I watched a movie called “We’ll Take Manhattan” based on the relationship between photographer, David Bailey and model Jean Shrimpton. I had heard of Jean before but I never knew the background and story of how both Jean and David Bailey help mold the 1960′s youth movement.
Jean appeared on magazine covers like Vogue (the photos taken in 1962 are iconic), Harper’s Bazaar, and Vanity Fair and was known as “The Face of the 60′s” and helped launch the mini skirt!
Is there anything better than taupe eye shadow? No. Here is a look at my collection and some of them may sound familiar (as I’ve probably used some of them in my Twenty-Two Days of Taupe series)
My husband took this piccy while we were messing around but I think you can see the highlight color on my cheekbone so I decided to use it 
I decided it’d be easier to do a separate makeup post…too much going on today to make into one blog post that made any sense. Click here to see the full OOTD:
