#party time! #HerveLeger #NottebyMarchesa

Here are some of my inspirations for party dressing:

DKNY

Notte by Marchesa

Herve Leger

#Volume on top and bottom? Sure!

M Missoni

Who would have thought? But this looks kind of ingenue and refreshing after seasons of fitted clothes.

Hoping for #whitechristmas snowing #pearls pleeese!

Are you hoping for a White Christmas this year? Me too! Snowing with white pearls that is. I really like Sophie Bille Brahe's jewelry, her fresh and modern take on pearls is just so on point. Here are just a few of my favorites:

#mansurgavriel IN or OUT? Are you tired of waiting?

An overnight sensation, no one could get enough, but are we getting tired of waiting? The "newness" of it is wearing off and so many of the other brands already got in on the trend...but at higher prices.

#holidays getting to you? #beauty #solutions for all

If you're still getting over the Thanksgiving, don't hold your breath, more holidays are coming your way! Are you ready?! If after only a few cocktails you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror or worse if you decide to take a quick selfie and you end up seeing: 1. the image of your mother 2. the image of a relative (whom you don't admire for their looks) 3. your mother in-law??!!! It's time to take action:
1. Get a haircut (almost always a sure thing to make you feel good)
The somewhat new WOB - wavy bob maybe a way to go like Jennifer Lawrence's

2. Get some new make-up ( my new favorite Charlotte Tilbury)
3. Get some shoe therapy ( you really need it!)
4. Buy some champagne, you'll see, the bubbly always picks up the mood

And now you are ready for what's coming up in December.

How to: spend a lot of money without really trying #holidays #sales

With the holiday season all the rage so is our uncontrolled spending. Make all the resolutions you want, but comes January with it's credit cards bills which will leave you wondering when, where and why you bought all this stuff and whether you can return any of it back?!!
Do you know the problem with sales? You get the stuff that you wouldn't buy otherwise whether it be the lower price that gives you the excuse to purchase or it's just something you don't need right now but will "definitely" use in the "future" (yeh, sure..).
So plan your purchases this season, make lists of what you need and budget yourself! (I can't believe I'm saying this) and don't be fooled by the "huge" sales ever again!
Proceed with caution!

The best foundation ever! #charlottetilbury and #giorgioarmani

If you want the best foundation ever, if you're looking for a coverage that's not too matte and not too sheer or shiny you have to mix Giorgio Armani face fabric foundation with Charlotte Tilbury perfect skin foundation. You'll love the result - medium coverage that slides on so smoothly and this is the effect that neither make-up gives on its own.  Giorgio Armani face fabric is too sheer on its own, but goes on very evenly and  virtually erases the pores, while Charlotte Tilbury foundation has nice coverage it doesn't go on smoothly and you need to blend, blend, blend and the end result is a bit shiny, so you wouldn't be able to forgo the powder. Together though it's a marriage made in heaven!

#60's folklorish trend

How do I feel toward this trend? Not easy to wear head to toe as in long dresses, you may end up looking too cartoonish, but as a blouse like Isabel Marant and  Melissa Odabash or an updated/modern version like the Zimmerman dress, either can give you a fresh take on the trend which is always welcome.

#jamesperse vs #monrow dresses

Well, the choice is not easy. I personally love the shirred monrow dresses and I have them in every color. They fit well and the shirring on the sides does hide a lot of body flaws while looking put together and with pretty shoes or sandals these dresses look really dressy at the price you just can't beat.
James Perse on the other hand, while a more expensive choice looks great as well, but lately the fabrics that they use don't look as expensive as they used to. Although the new styles like the Colorblock dress is really a nice change and the Thermal Henley which has some shirring at the sides is a better choice then Monrow's Heavy stretch henley dress which won't let you get away with extra calories.
So the winner is?!! Why don't you tell me which you like best or maybe both? like me...

#cruise2015 #safari inspired #utilitarian trend for

Why do I love safari inspired utilitarian clothes? Well, first of all these pieces of clothing  make me think of adventures and going away to exotic locations, yes they may look a little uniform-like but that's the beauty of it, you look well put together without actually trying.  Colors like tan, sand and khaki also make you think of warm weather and upcoming trips. So enjoy and be stylish all in one with these great pieces:
