Celebrity Style: Emmy Style!



Heya! So in case you didn't know, the Emmys were on last Sunday night. I'm generally too busy to watch a 3 hour long rewards show. I usually just catch the highlights the next day on YouTube. But I do love to watch the Red Carpet Pre-Show. Seeing all the glamorous people dress up and wear amazing gowns, gowns that I could never afford! It's also a good way to spot the upcoming trends that the rest of us will see in stores very soon. A few trends I noticed on The Red Carpet, were lots of jewel tones like bright purples, cobalt blues, and emerald greens.

Beauty: Faking It While Keeping It Real! + Giveaway!

I have been finding that there is just not enough time in the day to do everything I need to do. Between working a full time job, keeping up with my blog, making time for family and friends, and trying to fit in everyday errands, my good nights sleep suffers and it has been showing in my eyes. 

 

 I've decided to try some different beauty products to help with the dark circles under my eyes and make me look more alert, when all I want to and is take a nap. I've heard a lot of good things about Benefit Cosmetics Fake Up concealer and They're Real! mascara, and after watching the promo video for They're Real! mascara, I decided to give them a try (watch the video here or go to my facebook page).

Style: Graphic Cool!

Heya! I have been recently wearing a lot of graphic t-shirts. You can add some trendy flair to any outfit with a graphic tee and they are a fun way to express yourself and the world around you. They can be dressed up or down and styled so many different ways. Graphic tees have endless possibilities! Here are 2 of my newest additions to my wardrobe:

Style: Styling The Little Out Of The LBD!: Part.3


Heya! I have loved styling my +Forever 21 Long Black Dress, the new LBD, and showing off how versatile it is! As I have said, everyone should not only have a Little Black Dress, but the cooler weather version as well: the Long Black Dress. And just with some styling and accessorizing tricks, you suddenly have so many outfit options from just one dress!



This is the last post of a 3 post series. The first 2 posts I went casual. You can read them here and here. So, without further ado, here are my last 3 looks that I styled from the same Forever 21 dress. I went elegant and dressy for the last 3, so enjoy:


Look 8: Cocktail Hour!:
This outfit is so chic! I love how the animal print and feathers add a little "downtown" flare to the LBD. Also, I tied a wrap belt from Dynamite, around the waist just to give the outfit more shape and added long leather gloves, to amp up the the cool vibe of this look. Adding too many colours would make this outfit look to busy, so I kept the belt and gloves chic black. I added just a little colour, by wearing a vintage necklace, I got from an antique store, and my favourite feather clutch from Aldo. And of course some chic sunglasses I picked up at Shoppers Drugmart!

Style: Styling The Little Out Of The LBD!: Part 2

Heya! With the weather cooling, hemlines are lengthening. And the old LBD (little Black Dress) is now the new LBD (the Long Black Dress)! The long black dress is so versatile, I own 3 different styles! This one from Forever 21 is my favourite!



I styled 10 unique looks from this dress, and this is the second post in a 3 part series. (Go here to read the first post). So as promised, here are 4 more casual looks I styled from the same new LBD from +Forever 21:


Look 4: Office Cool!:
This outfit is a perfect seasonal transition outfit! I layered a scarf and sweater, that can easily come off if the day gets hot, or if you go out for after work cocktails. It shows off how versatile the new LBD really is! And I love the colour and print of the David Jones bag. This bag is big enough to hold everything you need for a day at the office that turns into a night out. And to make sure all the layers don't look like I gained 5 pounds, I added a fun whimsical belt from Aldo, that will show off any figure.
