I love wearing neutral colors and solid prints then accenting the outfit with pops of color. I’ve been into using my eye makeup and shoes as accessories &  pops of color lately.

For makeup, I used the Too Faced Smokey Eye Shadow collection-I had been DYING to use the blueberry toned colors in the palette but never knew what to accent them wtih–then I saw those royal blue shoes–and viola!

I’m a little bummed that the tutorial for this look was a big FAIL! The overall look came out great but the I wasn’t impressed with the footage. I was very pleased with how the “Outfit of the Day” photos came out. To view all the pictures, check out my portfolio.

I’m in love with this blazer I bought at Target. It’s absolutely stunning and I’m very pleased with the quality of this blazer. Because black goes with anything, I paired this blazer with so bold pieces-bright royal blue pumps & my “Heart of the Ocean” inspired necklace from the movie, Titanic. The jacket-although it’s chic, I’d say it’s the understated piece compared to the bold necklace & pumps.

I rarely wear anything other than my larger size handbags but I though a simple black clutch would look fantastic…luckily all my necessities fit in this tiny clutch! I’m lovin’ this look-it’s so sophisticated and chic!

Hello Everyone! I haven’t blogged in quite some time. I’ve been quite unmotivated to do anything since we had 2 massive snowstorms last week. I hope you all had a fabulous Valentine’s Day. It just occurred to that I got engaged 7 years ago today! My, oh my, time certainly does fly.

Today was a really nice…I did a little shopping at MAC & Ulta and had a late lunch at Starbucks. It was a really great afternoon. Today at Ulta- I found (what I hope is) a dupe for MAC’s Coconut Ice nail polish. I’m excited to try that out.

I was very excited about the outfit I wore today-I bought these fabulous royal blue pumps about a month ago and I was waiting for just the right time to wear them! What I love about these pumps are that they are unique-it’s not everyday that you see someone wearing velvery royal blue shoes.  The shoes actually reminded me a bit of Carrie Bradshaw’s “Something Blue” pumps by Manolo Blahnik (just for the simple fact that they are a deep blue). Obviously you really can’t compare the two but, these pumps are going to be one of those classic items in my collection-they pair well with jeans or could go with just the right workplace attire…I know I’ll be able to make it work!

I also treated myself to the “Large Oval Key” from Tiffany’s.  I bought it about a week ago & I was not sure if  I was going to wait until Mother’s Day or just cave in & open it on Valentine’s Day. I just could not wait…it’s so beautiful and I absolutely love it. I think out of all the keys, I’m most fond about the oval one.

Have a great week & stay warm.
