I recently picked up these two pairs on major sale! I got the Walkerrr as I don't really have any pointy toe pumps. I'm not the biggest fan of pointy toe shoes, but I really liked these ones when I tried them on. They come in a few different colors. I went with the pewter metal color. I like that it has a black and metallic silver blend to it. I was really surprised how comfortable they were to walk in. They have a 3 1/2 inch heel with no platform, so I thought they wouldn't be that easy or comfortable to walk in and I was nicely surprised when I tried them on. The other pair I purchased was the Alexxia. I am obsessed with these shoes. I love how edgy they are with the cutouts and peep toe. I also really liked this, this, and this as they are all very similar. The chunky wooden heel is another reason I was drawn to these shoes. I can't wait for it to get warmer out so I can rock these with skinny jeans and dresses. Both these shoes were true to size.

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.

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.
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!

One of my favorite things to wear this time of year are oversize sweaters. I love how comfy they are, but that they are still appropriate to wear out during the day. These are a few of my current favorite sweater styles. I have recently been drawn to grey and burgundy colored sweaters. They are great neutral fall colors that can go so well with many different bottoms such as a dark wash jean, leggings, or even a skater skirt. I also like the pattern and sweaters with cute little sayings. My favorite is the DVF "love is life" sweater.
I've been seeing quilted items pop up everywhere this fall. From handbags, to shoes and sweaters they are becoming a popular texture on fashion items. Quilted materials add a fun texture to items that will really make them standout. The quilted look always reminds me of the Chanel quilted bags that I frequently dream about. Unfortunately those bags aren't in most people's price range, however, you can still get that quilted look for a much cheaper price with the Rebecca Minkoff look-alike. I don't really wear sweatshirts too much unless I'm lounging around the house, but this ASOS one looks so comfy and gives a casual chic look. I'm also loving the Mango leather jacket. I really like the small quilted detailing on the shoulders that adds some texture to the jacket but isn't overwhelming with an allover quilted pattern. What do you think about the quilted trend?

While I love a natural look, a bright lip is always fun. This lip color by BA STAR is called Holiday Red, which I think is a perfect name for this color. I've recently been wearing lip colors more frequently and this is one of my favorite red colors especially for the holidays. I love the full coverage this lip pencil gives, the matte smooth texture, and that it stays in place all day! I definitely feel very glamorous when wearing Holiday Red. Because of the bright lip color, I wanted to keep the rest of my look very simple. I used a light weight BB Cream by Smashbox and then added some color to my face with the Hoola bronzer by Benefit. I also put a thin line of eyeliner on the top of my eyes to open them up and then added a few coats of mascara. By keeping the rest of my makeup basic, my lip color was really able to stand out. I will definitely be wearing this color a lot during the next few months.
BA STAR has so many fun makeup products that aren't just for cheerleaders, dancers, or other competitors. They have amazing products for everyone to wear, that are especially great during the holiday months. I love all the glitter eye shadows and eyeliners. They also have great blush, bronzers, mascara, and of course lip pencils. BA STAR makeup allows for creativity, so have fun and experiment with their bold colors and glitter. The company has extremely affordable high quality makeup. They also have makeup tutorials which you can watch here!
