Valentines Day Outfits.

Untitled #11
    Hey everybody I'm really excited today because I am going to be kicking of  my Valentine's Day series. From now until Valentine's Day I am going to be doing Valentine's Day related posts. From DIYS, to outfit ideas and special treats. Today I put together four different Valentine's Day outfits. Many people often stress over 
thinking about what to wear, that's okay because I'm here to help. All of these outfits are more settle with colors, mostly pestle pinks than bright red and hot pink.   

   Outfit #1: The first is outfit is the most casual, but still cute. On Valentine's Day if you are just hanging out with some friends going shopping this is perfect, because this outfit is very comfy and casual. The white graphic tee with the black heart works really well with the pastel pink color denims. Also color denim are very trendy now. I pair this outfit with some brown combats, because the outfit would look more laded back the casual. Also the combat boots are super comfy. Since this outfit is more casual, I decided to finish it off with a cream colored Longchamp tote bag.       
   Outfit #2:  The second outfit would be a great day outfit. You have a sheer pastel pink collared button-up blouse with really pretty gold studs on the collar. For pants I chose these metallic gold colored jeans, they bring out the color of the studs on the blouse. Also the jeans add a sharp color to the outfit. For shoe I chose these very comfortable peach pink Tory Burch flats, that also has gold detailing that goes perfect with the jeans. To finish everything off I added a metallic gold colored Rebecca Minkoff mini mac clutch with a gold chain for you to put the bag across your should.
   Outfit #3:  The next outfit is perfect when you are going the a party or are going out to a special fancy dinner. The most exciting part of the outfit, THE DRESS! I chose this coral color silk embellished evening gown, that is cinched at the waistline with gold detailing. With the perfect dress you need a pair of gorgeous shoes. I picked these amazing gold strap heels with a very high platform, to keep you feet comfortable. Adding more intelligence I chose a cream and gold colored clutch that is the perfect size for you night essentials.
   Outfit #4: The final outfit is great for a lunch or diner date, it is more dressy but not as fancy as the last outfit. I chose a shier short sleeve, pastel pink blouse with a sparkle black sequinned collar. I would tuck the blouse into a lace black skater skirt. For this outfit I added some studded loafers or you can easily transform this outfit with a pair of black wedges. I like wedges a lot better than heels, because they are more comfortable and support your feet better as you walk. For a simple bag I added this Chanel inspires messenger bag with the black leather quilting and the gold and black cross body chain. 
      
    All these outfits can easily be recreated, if you click on the picture it will link you to a page with all the websites that you can find these items.
    I hop everyone enjoyed this Valentine's Day outfits post, keep your eyes out for more of my Valentine's Day series, and I will talk to you next time. Byeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

     Today I'm going to be doing a how to wear peter pan collars with outfits and a DIY post, I'm going to show you how to make your own personalized peter pan collars. They are one of my favorite  trends right now and lets just say I have a tiny obsession with them. The peter pan collar can spice up many outfits. They add a cute and sophisticated look to any outfit. With these collars you can make so many new outfits. A lot of shirts and blouses come with built is collars, but they can be a bit pricey. You can also dress these collars with dresses, down below I put together three different outfits that I spiced up with a peter pan collar.                                                                        

Untitled #10      If you have a neutral plain color dress a sparkly or jeweled collar necklace would add a slash of color and life to your outfit. You can dress the collars up or down. Sometimes these collars could be a bit pricey, and not really found in stores. Most of them are sold online, but when I learned how to make them myself, I was really excited, because I could make the collar to match my outfits. They are really simple,fast and inexpensive  to make. The total cost for me was about $10, and a collar online is about $20-$30.

Best of 2012 Tag

Best of 2012 Tag
     Hey everyone, Happy 2013!!!!! I can't 2013 is here already, 2012 passed by so fast. So today I'm going to do the best of 2012 tag. Explaining my favorite fashion pieces, beauty products, accessories and just random stuff. 
     During 2012 I've loved collared shirt, they are very trendy right now and can be paired with many things also the collars add an extra touch to the outfit. I love my sleeveless salmon colored top, especially the lace collar on it. Right now I'm really into skulls, I just think they are so edgy and fun. Like this white sweater, there are little gold skull all over the front, I like it's so pretty.  Another fashion piece is my sleeveless denim vest. The denim vest has gold studs on the  shoulders and the studs glam the look. The lace shorts are so girly and feminine look, they add so much to an ordinary outfit. Another piece that I've been loving is patterned leggings and pants, they add a pop of color to any outfit.   they are so cute. For favorite shoes of 2012 are definitely my black studded Steve Madden combat boots and my cream colored lace Toms.
The boots are so edgy with the studs and the lace Toms are so girly, they both can be matched with so many things. They are totally different styles. 2012 was the year where I discovered a lot of my beauty products. My favorite eyeshadows has been the Smashbox "Limitless" Cream eyeshadows, they stay on for a long period of time and it looks you spend a lot of time. All you need to do is dab a little on your eye lid and blending it. For mascara I love the Maybelline Cat Eyes waterproof mascara. I makes your lashes so volumized and thick. My lips get really dried during the winter time and Maybelline's Baby Lips smoothing lip balm absolutely helps, it keeps nice and smooth and moisturized. Nail polish is my absolute favorite part, in 2012 that's when Essie came out with their winter collection with my favorite shade. I love the shades Mint Candy Apple and Very Berry Raspberry. Whenever I don't know what color to paint my nails I always go for these two. For favorite fragrances of 2012 I love the Taylor swift Enchanted Wonderstruck perfume and Marc by Marc Jacobs Daisy Perfume. Wonderstruck has a really sweet and fruity scent, while Daisy has a more classic scent.
    In 2012 I was really into more of gold colored jewelry, but I only have three favorites. My first one is a gold double layered necklace with two birds, it can go with so many outfits. Second I love spike bracelets and here I just have a gold stretchy bracelet. My last one isn't gold but they are these rope bracelets with little beads. I really like them because they look really bohemianism. Now on to total random favorites. My favorite ice creams has been the Starbucks Caramel Macchiato and Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Therapy. My favorite scent for 2012 had been Bath and Body Works Pumpkin Caramel Latte candle, the best scents combined pumpkins caramel and a latte. In 2012 I started to order Lemonade Passion Tea at Starbucks and I fell in love with them, it's and addiction guys. My last random favorite of 2012 has been macaroons and it was my first time trying them and I think maybe about March and they were unbelievable.
