Pointy Toe Flats

Ballet flats are nice and dainty but if you really want to add a sophisticated edge to your outfit try a pointy toe flat shoe. They elongate your legs because more of your foot is seen poking out of your jeans, unlike ballet flats that can stump your leg if you are not gifted with mile long gams. They come in great colors, patterns and finishes. These Cole Haan flats are especially great because they are simple but are still fabulous with their beautiful pewter metallic finish. What also makes these flats amazing is the Nike air technology in the heal so they are really comfy! These flats go with everyone and will giltz up any outfit.

T shirt with a embellished collar to add a built in necklace to your outfit!


This look is great for running around town because it's cold we suggest a cute peacoat. This peacoat is a great maroon color which is all the rage this season, it looks great paired with grays and light blues. The darkness of the coat grounds the outfit and really makes the lighter colors and metallic shoes pop.

Put a cute sparkly camisole under this outfit and it will definitely transform to a night look. You can dance all night in these flats!

Cream Blush

Cream blush is a staple in a woman's purse. Most cream blushes double as a lipstick and sometimes even a eyeshadow as well. Cream blushes are great because they blend into the skin to create a flawless, dewy and glowing finish. Everyone seems to overlook cream blushes but they are definitely needed in your makeup bag. We suggest a few brands that we own that are really worth the price because you get so much in each tube.

Shiseido Accentuating Color Stick, $33

This color stick has a great pigment so it shows up on your skin with the lightest touch. The color Rouge Flush is a glowing golden red that lasts all day. The color has very slight golden shimmer to it which really highlights your cheekbones and gives you a natural flush look. The color selection also includes highlighters as well. Cream highlighters are great because they blend seamlessly into your skin.

NARS The Multiple $37

NARS has a great cream blush as well. They provide a sheer matte finish so your cheeks look effortlessly flush. These blushes also double as a lip color. The creamy finish is easy to blend. The color selection is amazing: there are highlighters along with dark reds and barbie pinks. Our personal favorites are Malibu and Maui. Malibu is a dusty pink that looks great on your cheeks and lips, it's amazing!! You're cheeks look tan and flushed at the same time. It also creates a almost dusty pink nude look on your lips that looks great with a golden, clear or pink based gloss layered on top. Maui is more of a dusty red color that really makes your cheeks and lips pop. The color is very highly pigmented and it brightens your face without making you look like a clown. Literally you can apply Maui with a bit of tinted moisturizer and you are ready to leave your house.

To apply simply dab or rub onto the apple of your cheek and blend upward using your fingers, use the leftover on your fingers to color your lips and to drag lightly down your nose bridge. Cream blushes are great if you are on the go and have to look put together in a few minutes (students we're talking to you).

Perfect Pink Cheeks

Feeling tired and stressed but still want to look your best? Well if you're a student or if you have a job you definitely know that sleep can sometimes take a backseat to other things in your life. The best way to counteract a sleepy face is with a hot pink cheek to bring color and life back to your face. To get the perfect pink cheeks you'll need two items.

Tarte Tipsy cheek stain:
www.Tartecosmetics.com

Tipsy, the peach stain on the left has an amazing sheer shimmer that enhances the apples of your cheeks and your cheekbones. Apply this stain with by pushing up the tube and dabbing it on your apples of your cheeks and using your fingers to glide the stain from the apple of your cheeks up the cheekbone. This defines your cheeks, adds a layer of color that provides debth and a bit of shimmer. Then apply:

Sheertone blush by MAC in the color Dollymix. This blush looks strong in the pan but it's actually very sheer and workable! It's a beautiful barbie pink color that has a slight sheer shimmer to it. Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks to accentuate them and give them the pop of hot pink color that we've been looking for. The powder blush sets the cream stain and the cream stain keeps the powder blush on your cheek all day, no need for touch ups!

Estee Lauder Lip Gloss

Estee Lauder High Gloss lip gloss is absolutely amazing. It moisturizes like a balm and has amazing pigments. The color actually shows up unlike many glosses which have pigment in the tube but when you put them on your lips they're clear. The color Blush is my favorite. It enhances natural lip color and makes my lips look luscious and plump.You can also apply it without a mirror because of the the contoured tip. This lip gloss is not sticky at all it's so smooth and amazing! If you're looking for a treat for your lips we suggest this lip gloss.

Holiday Parties

The holidays are coming up and that means cheer, eggnog and parties! So, what should a girl wear to be classy, fun and unique? We suggest going with a great dress that is simple but still has a bit of glamor. You can show holiday cheer without wearing the Santa sweater grandma knitted for you.


Pair this amazing dress with a pair of beautiful lace tights to add texture and to cover your legs in the December cold! We love Givenchy hosiery because of their great amazing patterns and good quality.



For shoes we suggest doing something with a bow or an embellishment to bring out your holiday cheer. Patent leather and velvet bows are a great accessories to add to your outfit. They bring in a classic holiday cheer without wearing the red and green reindeer sweater.

Lady Page Pumps, Christian Louboutin (www.Saksfithavenue.com)

Sparkly accessories will tie this whole look together. Because of the embellished one shoulder neckline on the dress, we didn't pair this outfit with a necklace (the neckline alone is amazing enough). We suggest a great bracelet with a ribbon bow reminiscent of a garland wrapping down a staircase.
Mouchette Ribbon & Crystal Bracelet, Lee Angel Jewelry (www.Shopbop.com)


Pair this chunky bracelet with a pair of simple green emerald studs to show holiday colors in a chic way.


14K gold emerald and diamond earrings (www.Macys.com)


To top the whole look off a sparkly clutch is a must.

Crushed glitter minaudière, J.Crew (www.Jcrew.com)

Here you go! Happy holiday partying!

Makeup like the Egyptians...

Cat eyes have been popular ever since the Egyptians used to wear them. Now a-days everyone can be seen with this cute makeup look. From Angelina Jolie to Eva Mendes countless celebrities have been spotted with a sultry cat eye. We love to create this look with cream liner, but it can also be done with liquid liner or pencil liner.


Here's a tutorial we found showing both the cream liner and the liquid liner. Thanks Kandee for showing us how to do this somewhat difficult look:
