Drugstore Damsel..

I wanted to find a eyeliner that is a rich black color and stays on all day long. Surprisingly while at CVS I found and bought L'oreal HIP cream eyeliner. It's a great true black that goes on creamy and lasts a long day (until you remove it) it's great for a day look and to accentuate a smokey eye for a night look. They come in other great colors too that I have to try because I love the black!


It comes with a little brush that is a bit hard but workable. It's angled perfectly to apply the liner and small enough so it's not clumsy. You can always use any other eyeliner brush because the product is really richly pigmented and great! Lets not forget pretty cheap (around $12).

UPDATE: This product dried out after a few weeks :( making it totally unusable.

Jump Into Jumpsuits This Fall

Jumpsuits are not for astronauts anymore. Jumpsuits are now back but with a new twist. Jumpsuits come in a variety of patterns, styles, colors and fabric. But jumpsuits can be tricky to wear. You could end up looking like a rumpled blob. But The Rage is here to help! To keep your jumpsuit look sleek and sophisticated use minimal colors and cropped lines.

Poltock and Walsh Sillk Jumpsuit $438 (www.revolveclothing.com)

We love this silk jumpsuit because of it's long flowly lines and embellished shoulders. The jumpsuits lean and long shape is flattering on almost all body types. To make your legs seem even longer under the wide leg bottom half try with a pair of platform strappy sandals. Your legs will look miles long!
Rock and Republic Jolene T-strap Heels $310 (www.shopbop.com)

To keep warm we suggest a blazer with texture and color that will pull together the shoes and the jumpsuit for a uniformed look.

AKA New York Sequin Lapel Blazer $428 (www.shopbop.com)

Make sure to get a blazer that comes in at the waist so you don't get that dreaded block shape. The glitz of the sequins on this blazer will make you stand out in a crowd even though you're wearing only two colors. To add a bit more glam wear stud earrings, a statement necklace and chunky gold chain bracelets: Zoe Diamond Stud Earings
$2,200(www.barneys.com)

Ben-Amun Twisted Glamour Necklace $420 (www.maxandchloe.com)

Janis By Janis Savitt Gold and Steel Bracelet $400 (www.bergdorfgoodman.com)


We know this look is very pricey! Stay tuned for a Look For Less!

Greece: We Want Our Sculptures back!

(http://www.shoppingblog.com/pics/acropolis_museum_athens_0609.jpg)

A new "hypermodern" museum at the base of the Acropolis in Athens Greece was just recently built to convince Britain to give back the 2,500 year old Elgin or Parthenon Marbles.

These statues were taken out of Greece in the early 1800's. For many years Britain has argued that Greece does not have the proper facilities to display and preserve the sculptures.

Well thanks to this magnificent new museum Greece has proven Britain wrong!

Bow Crazy

We were scanning the internet the other day and came across this cute ChloƩ bow:
Which can be found here: theoutnet.com but unfortunately its sold out! A more budget friendly alternative can be found at American apparel and also comes in a variety of colors.


These bows are a great way to spruce up any outfit. A bow will work well as a decorative belt for a simple dress or you can tie one onto your bag to make your look seem a bit more fun. Here are some more ways to wear this cute bow:

Bring Out Your Inner Rocker...

Doc Martens have been seen on countless models and celebrities this fall (HERE). The line is raging back in a big way. Last year, the Doc Martens brand were extremely successful when they collaborated with Yohji Yamamoto. We love these croc embossed Doc Martens made for women: www.drmartens.com

Try pairing these boots with ripped black skinny jeans...
