Pictured here is the makeup find for this week-bright jeweltone eyeshadow colors from the spring 2011 runway. If this catches on it'll take me awhile to warm up to so much brightness! I'm definitely a fan of muted eyeshadow colors especially metallics. These opaque bright colors seem shocking to me, but like many other trends, after we see this bright eyeshadow worn a lot, it won't seem so bright to us. And, yes, it will probably work its way one way or another into our looks.

Yes, stripes and sweater dresses come together in this hot trend for fall and winter. Love stripes of all kinds in clothes and accessories and I'm loving this sweater dress. A fashion basic for sure for fall and winter, I love a dress like this with tights or leggings and if I'm feeling daring I even wear mid-calf or knee-high boots!

Isn't this a fabulous looking flap chain bag! This is the McLane Mini Bag by Tory Burch. This is a black croc printed leather flap bag-and it has a long 20-inch gorgeous chain/leather shoulder strap. This handbag measures 8"W x 7"H x 3"D so it's a small to medium size bag which I love! A perfect day bag-so sophisticated and classy looking if you ask me!

Isn't this a classy classic winter trench coat! Yes, this is the DKNY™ Abby Trenchcoat from Donna Karan and isn't this coat fabulous looking. It's a wool blend so it'll be perfect for those cold winter days and stylish too. With hints of the military style that's so hot right now this trench coat is young and fresh! I love the double-breasted button up front, the pleated back, and the belted tie!

Fashion Design Wearing Colors & Women's Silk Scarves 2010 2011







What's in...

colorful patterned silk scarves-

but how do we coordinate all these colors?

Fashion Design Wearing Colors Women's Silk Scarves 2010 2011 Pictures
I ran across this image and just had to post it! Isn't this scarf look fabulous-the blue blouse worn with basic black and accessorized with a blue patterned silk scarf. What an easy approach this is to wearing colorful patterned scarves! If you're like me you have a drawer full of scarves and you're just not sure how to wear them! Well here's our answer-it seems obvious and easy to coordinate our colors-to add a punch of color to a solid color outfit and accessorize it with a scarf--it just takes some planning and doing to pull it off! Also to help see this video post on tying a scarf!

orange lipstick on the Spring 2011 runway!

Cosmetics Makeup Lips Lipstick Orange Lip Color 2010 2011 picture
Yes, orange lipstick was hot on the spring 2011 runway-and orange lipstick will be the hot lip color shade for spring! Orange lips were seen on the spring 2011 runways of Marc by Marc Jacobs (shown here), Jill Stuart, Isaac Mizrahi, Lela Rose, Luca Luca and many more! If you're not hot on orange lipstick yourself don't be put off-orange comes in so many shades that finding the perfect shade for yourself won't be impossible. Orange comes in pure bright orange shades and orange shades with lots of red, coral, peach, plum, gold, and brown. As always, when a color is hot the makeup counter will be awash in it!

Yes, blunt cut bangs are back in style! The style is definitely a blast from the past-the 1950s to be exact-these blunt cut bangs, of course, have a bit of a modern twist, as is normal with retro hairstyles! These looks from the Fall 2010 runway will give you some idea of what's hot in a blunt cut bang look for long, medium, and short hair. And yes, blunt cut bangs require constant trimming to keep them at just the right length!

these Frye leather penny loafers!

Women's Shoes Classic Distressed Antiqued Brown Leather Penny Loafers 2010 2011 Pictures

Aren't these cool looking loafers! Penny loafers are back in style- if they ever went out of style at all! Yes, they've been around since the 1930s and what is there not to like. Penny loafers are a casual flat shoe-perfect with jeans and skirts-a must have for everyone's wardrobe including men who love to wear them without socks! These pictured are classic penny loafers with an already-broken-in look by Frye-one of my favorite brands for quality leather shoes and boots.

scarves and collars for 2010 and 2011!

Women's Fashion Accessories Wearing Fur Collars Fall Winter 2010 2011 Pictures
Isn't this a hot look! Everything about it is today-the vintage inspiration, the cool leather belt, the lace-up shoes, the jacket, the top knot hairdo. The real standout is the fur collar-which is right on trend with what we're seeing on the runway! Scarves and collars are hugging the neck-for a very finished feeling-almost a tailored look, calling attention to the face! A fur collar like the one pictured here can be found second hand in thrift shops, so keep your eyes open!

Cosmetics Makeup Creme Eye Shadow Eyeliner Pencil NYX 2010 2011







Makeup find for this week...

this jumbo eye shadow eyeliner pencil by NYX Cosmetics!

Cosmetics Makeup Creme Eye Shadow Eyeliner Pencil NYX 2010 2011 picture
Love, love, love this jumbo all-in-one eye shadow, eyeliner pencil in Milk by NYX Cosmetics. After looking for a long time for the perfect product to lighten up the area just below the eyebrow-I finally found this creamy eye shadow pencil. I lightly pencil on a bit just below the brow and smudge it with my finger to get the very slight lightening, brightening effect I'm looking for. I can't see the whiteness but I see the lightening effect which makes the eyebrows pop and seems to lift and brighten my eyes! I found this beauty product at ULTA.

Isn't this a cool feminine tattoo! Love the idea of a tattoo but can't get up the nerve to get a permanent inking! But, oh, these temporary transfer tattoos are so cool-these are put on almost just like the little ones we got with bubble gum as kids. The artwork is fabulous, isn't it!
