Beauty:

Sephora

Bite Lipsticks

Their natural and high quality lipsticks, not only stay, but keep lips moist.  I am a huge fan, and own a few shades myself!

Anastasia of Beverly Hills Contour Kit

I have the Light to Medium version and am amazed by all the possible uses.  Although it says contour kit, it can be used as an eye shadow, brow filler and anything else you can think of.  I use the medium tan shade as a shadow for the creases of my eyes and eyebrow filler.

Stila in the Light Palette

I use this palette every day, and it.is.the.best.  They colors are so natural and enhance your features.  They can create a natural or dramatic look based on the combinations.

Mini Perfumes

DKNY Be Delicious

Girl by Pharrell

Versace Bright Crystal

I have all of these scents and love them!

Hope this helps!

Today’s look was inspired by an outfit shown in Glamour Magazine’s fashion section on their website.  The look was an all black ensemble with a mustard yellow scarf and leopard print shoes and posted by Dulceida.

I was inspired by the color scheme and silhouette of the look and interpreted it in my own style.  I swapped all black for denim, metallic for leopard and mustard for leopard print.  I also layered it with a fitted blazer and black pants to keep it cohesive.

Whenever I used to think about denim on denim, it would bring me back to a picture of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears in a matching jean ensemble.  Britney is in a light wash jean gown and Justin is in a denim tuxedo…not the prettiest sight.  However, with the new washes and fits of denim, there are endless possibilities for the “Canadian Tuxedo”.  This taboo look is now becoming a staple for fashionistas and bloggers alike and I am joining the fad.

Here is my take on the Canadian Tuxedo:

 My button down and jeans are both from Garage, my shoes are from TJMaxx and by BCBG Generation.  Both my bag and bracelets are from local boutiques down the shore.  My bag is from a boutique called Costal Fx in Stone Harbor and my bracelets are from Bellisima in Avalon.

Here is a close up of the bag!

How do you feel about the “Canadian Tuxedo”?
