Splurge or Save

By Chloë Eve - December 30, 2013

I've been wanting a Rebecca Minkoff cross-body bag for awhile, and I was so excited when my boyfriend surprised me with this quilted one last week! It definitely resembles the more expensive Chanel quilted bag, just without the high price tag. I love how feminine these bags are with the gold chain wrapped with black leather. I also really like that they can be worn double strapped as a regular handbag and can also convert into a longer cross-body bag as well. These padded leather bags finish your outfit with an effortless glam feel, yet are still sophisticated. They are perfect for dressing up at night but also great to use during the day.

Staying Warm

By Chloë Eve - December 22, 2013

Winter is officially here, meaning its time for layering! Living on the east coast you definitely have to be bundled up in order to stay warm. I have a few key items that I always pull out on really cold days including my micro-suede leggings (I own the pair above), one of my faux fur vests, thick knit sweaters, beanie hats, leather gloves, cashmere scarves, and wool coats. You can keep warm in the winter while still looking chic with colorful thick sweaters, warm textures such as leather, suede, and faux fur, as well as prints that pop like plaid and leopard.

Holiday Smokey Eye

By Chloë Eve - December 11, 2013

With December in full effect, it is definitely time for holiday festivities! This Studio gear Holiday Smokey Eye palette is perfect for creating a fun holiday smokey eye. The palette comes with four eye-shadow colors; Frost, Coal, Platinum, and Glimmer. It also comes with a pretty rosy blush color called Snowy Glow. To create my look, I used all four of the shadows. I started with lightly dusting Frost all over my eyelid. Next I placed Coal into the crease of my eyelid and created a V shape in the outside corner of my eye. I then put a small amount of Platinum in in the center of my eyelid. Last I took Glimmer and put a small amount on top of the coal shade in my eyelid crease. To complete the smokey eye, instead of using eyeliner, I took an angled eyeliner brush and used the coal shade underneath my lower lashes and on top of my upper lash line. Finally I added blush to my cheeks to complete my look.

I don't usually wear a lot of eye-shadow, so I kept this a simple light smokey eye that can still be daytime appropriate. I really liked this palette with the neutral and slightly glittery shadows that make your eyes sparkle.

If you want to give this Holiday Palette a try It's currently on sale for $25 (originally $40). I also have a 10% of discount code for you to use off your entire purchase at Studio Gear Cosmetics!
