Couture Style With Killer Boots!

I have come across some brand new styles I have never thought in my life would look well together, especially with these boots. I don't wear these boots often only because I never knew how to style them. Having knee high boots, it's kind of hard pairing them with a pair of jeans or tights (Because they buckle at the top) or even with a skirt (Without looking "slutty"). I came across the 2009 issue of Nylon Magazine with Lindsay Lohan, and fell in love with a look similar to this one. 

For a night out in the summer, this look would be daring and bold but well worth it! 

Pairing these boots with a cute pair of shorts can make this look more wild! The style of these boots is that I can fold them as well, but I prefer them as high as I can get them. Pairing it with a cute top and a vest (Which is optional) you can complete this daring couture look. 

And for those chilly nights, I added a baggy blazer type shirt just to add some pattern and color. 

My makeup is very simple. In the summer I don't wear a lot of makeup especially on hot summer days because I would just sweat it all off. I do like the bold color lip and in this look I am wearing Lickable by MAC.

Remember, being bold is being beautiful and wearing these boots will be one bold move!

Makeup For Friday Night

My personal MUA <3

Hello my gorgeous ladies and gents! I am going to do a breakdown of my sisters makeup for her night out. The makeup that I did is inspired by Kim Kardashian (photo below), but tailored for a darker skin tone. Patty has a beautiful deeper skin shade (NC45) and I thought it would be fun to try this look on her. I hope you all enjoy. xoxo

Face:
I first primed Patty's face with Amazing Cosmetics Anti-Aging primer and then I put on the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation and MAC's studio finish concealer in NC45. I set her face using Nars loose powder in Mountain and highlighted using Laura Mercier Mineral Illuminating powder in Starlight. 


Eyes:
I used more golden tones than silver so that her lids wouldn't look ashy. I started out with Honesty on the lids and I blended Au Contraire and Shale on the outer corners. I took some Black Tied and Carbon and blended it in a v-shape towards the outer corners and lashline. Finally, I cut the crease using Brun and just blended that down towards the lids. All eye shadows are by MAC. I lined her lids with Loreal's Carbon Intense Lineur and used Stila's eyeliner in Stingray for the inner rims of her eyes. Lastly I applied Ardell 105 lashes (cut in half) on the outer corners of her eyes. 


Brows: 
I filled in her brows using MAC's brow pencil in spiked and used Naked Lunch eye shadow by MAC on the brow bone. 


Lips:
This look was mainly about the bold lip color and for Patty's lips I used Lickable by MAC.  

I think this look could work for anyone and it would be fun to put your own little twist to it. Thank you for reading :)

Friday Party Night

This whole weekend was a four day birthday celebration for my lovely Alyssa. We all went out to a bar and danced the night away, and I loved my outfit I put together. It was a little overdressed for the occasion, but come on it feels great to dress nice! 

I finally wore this lace royal blue dress I bought a few months ago. It has been in my closet waiting to be worn and I finally did last night. 

This dress is beautiful and I fell in love with it when I first saw it. It is so comfortable and I love the lace design it has. I paired it with some black nylons and my favorite black wedges. 

I wore one of my rings and a matching earrings. 

These wedges are a MUST HAVE! I can wear them all night and dance in them without my feet hurting and they look stylish. 

Wardrobe: 

Dress: H&M (Divided) $35.95CAD

Shoes: Le Chateau $49.99CAD

Black Nylons: Jacob $10.00CAD

Good Girl Gone Bad

Friday night is coming very close, only a few hours away. I wanted to do something a little different today, so I decided to do a "grunge" look. These kind of looks are personally my favorite and you can be stylish at the same time. 

This look is great for those cold summer days when you still want to wear shorts and a light cropped shirt, you actually can! With this look I paired it with a leather jacket, tights, and a pair of killer studded heals. 

This outfit can be changed in so many ways and you can even pair these with some boots for more of a comfortable look. 

My makeup was a little different then what I do usually. For my eyes I did a simple smokey eye using MAC Black Gold, Twinks, Texture (as a base), and Retro Speck (as my highlight). My lips are this gorgeous purple also by MAC called Cyber. 

Wardrobe:

Leather Jacket: H$M $30.00CAD (on sale)

Shirt: PacSun $25.00US 

Shorts: American Eagle $25.00CAD

Tights: BeBe $10.00CAD

Shoes: The Bay (Material Girl) $45.99CAD 

Everyone has that "Bad Girl" that wants to come out. Using your style to your advantage you can have that inner "Bad Girl" show through just a little ;) 

I hope you enjoy this look!

Bar Hopping OOTD

My Friday was a nice night out with my friends. One of my best and closest friends is starting her first day of College on Monday and I am so happy for her. So, we wanted to have a night out for her and celebrate her last weekend of freedom. The weather was cloudy and a little cold, I was crazy not to bring a jacket but it wasn't bad. My outfit I chose was on the dressy side, but my style is always on the dressy side... and I love it! 

My makeup was a simple cat eye with Vex eye shadow by MAC. My blush is Dolce Vita by Nars and my lipstick is my favorite pink color for my skin tone, Lickable by MAC. 

It took me a long time to find a new maxi skirt. In the end, I ended up buying those new styles of short in the front and longer in the back kind of skirts. American Apparel has some great maxi skirts but my budget didn't match their's. I ended up buying this skirt from Forever21 for $24.99 CAD. I love the color and the pleat's add a nice design and flow to the skirt.    

My jewelry was simple with a little bit of "bling". These earrings and ring are my favorite items I have in my jewelry box. My earrings are from Forever21 for $9.50 CAD and my ring is from Aldo for $15.00 CAD. 

My feet didn't hurt all night (Probably because I was sitting most of the night). But, these shoes are still comfortable yet stylish. I bought these from a Nine West outlet at Seattle Premium Outlets for $25.99 US. For a deal like that I couldn't resist. 

I hope you enjoy this look!

*Good luck with your first day of school love.*

   

Smokey V Evening Look

A smokey V is easy to accomplish.

To achieve this look, first you would use a black eye pencil at the base of your lashes and then smudge upwards stopping at the middle of the lid. Apply any color to the rest of the and blend into the crease. Take any Black eye shadow and apply at the corner of the eyes and over the smudged eye pencil. Then, blend the Black eye shadow into the crease and Black smudged eye liner. You can finish this look with some fake eyelashes or you can load up with mascara. 

With the smokey eye, you can use any color you wish. I used an emerald green. For lips, balance the heavy eye color with a soft or nude color. 

Enjoy!

   

Outfit of the night

Last night, one of my best friends had his first open mic night as a comedian and he was amazing! The weather was on our side and didn't rain once. The outfit I chose was a little bit on the cool side (meaning I was freezing my butt off!), but it wasn't that bad of a walk.

This look I wanted to be comfortable yet stylish and my favorite maxi skirt was the solution for that! I paired it with one of my short sleeve button up collar shirts and a jean jacket to complete the look. My favorite thing about this outfit is that I can wear any type of shoes with it, in this case I paired it with some flat ankle boots.


Wardrobe: 


Jean Jacket: American Eagle (Bought a few years ago) $39.00 est.
Collar Top: H&M $19.95
Maxi Skirt: Forever21 $24.00
Boots: Aldo $49.00


Makeup


My makeup was almost the same way I do it normally, but I wanted to make it a little different. I did a "smokey V" look and added fake lashes to make my eyes pop a little more. 

Eyes:


Eye shadow: Vex and Black Gold by MAC
Lashes: (They are half lashes) from Sephora called Flutter

Lips: 


Russian Red by MAC
Lip Liner: Annabelle 205 Cherry

Hope you enjoy this look!

Cropped Sweater

These are some different looks you can do with a cropped sweater






I am using the same knitted cropped sweater and showing different styles you can use it for. With this look, I paired the sweater with a high wasted maxi skirt. Maxi skirts are very popular right now and great for the spring and summer. They are so easy to wear and can be stylish at the same time. They are my favorite type of skirts and just having a few different styles and colors of some maxi skirts can make your whole wardrobe for spring/summer. This is a must have!



This look is for something more comfortable and warmer, yet stylish. The high wasted floral pants are great for this look. This style of pants are in season right now and great to put on for a quick and stylish look for the spring. These pants are made out of cotton and spandex, so they are really comfortable and easy to wear. Finding pants with spandex in them will help make them more comfortable and wearable. 


   
This look is for a night out. High wasted shorts and tights are very popular right now and great for spring/summer. Tights are getting more popular and everyone is even making tights with different patterns on them to make your outfit even more unique. You can accessorize this with a belt and some nice heels for a night to remember!

One of my favorite accessories is my faux fur collar. It goes with everything I wear and I can even put it over my jackets. It can style up your outfit and keep you warm at the same time.

Cropped white knitted sweater: Forever 21 - $29.00 CAD (est.)
Maxi Skirt: Forever 21 - $24.00 CAD (est.)

Eye Liner Looks

These are some different eye liner looks you can do for the day and night.

For this look, the liner is just following the curve of your natural eye shape and ending with your natural eye shape. Your eyeliner thickness should depend on your eye shape. If your eyes are smaller, your liner should be on the thicker side to make the eye appear larger. If your eyes are bigger, you want to have your liner thinner. You always want your liner to start off thin, medium, than thick ( Starting from the inner eye working your way out). Using that technique, it looks more natural and more flattering to the face. On my model her eyes are small so her liner is thicker than usual. You can use this look for the day and you can also add some lashes for a night look.




For this look, the liner is exactly the same as the first one except I added a wing at the end for the Cat eye look. This is more of a retro look and give the eye more of a lift than the first one. To achieve this look, put on your liner as you normally would but leave the end last. The easiest way I find to add a wing to the end of your liner is to keep your eye open and lightly start where you want your Cat Eye and work to connect to your liner. But then again, any way you are most comfortable with will give you your best Cat Eye. This look can be for the day again or even night just like this or make it even more dramatic with some heavier eye shadow and some lashes. 




For this look, the liner is a little more dramatic but still can be warn in the day or night. This Cat Eye is drawn out more. With this look if you want to draw out your Cat Eye, follow the shape of your Eye Brow. Where your brow ends should be the end of your Cat Eye so it balances the shape of your eye. 




For this look, the Cat Eye is exactly the same as the previous picture, but I made it more of a night look by adding shadow and liner to the bottom lashes. These are one of my favorite looks to do for the night out because it stays on and it is easy to apply. For the bottom lashes I used a black eye pencil and black eye shadow. 


For all the liner looks I used a Black liquid eye liner.


All these looks are easy to apply and can be great for the day and night. 


I used : 


Liquid Eye Liner ``Boot Black`` - MAC
Eye Pencil ``Blackest Black`` - Maybelline Line Express
Eye Shadow - ``Black Gold`` - MAC

Smokey Eye

This is a simple and easy smokey eye I did with just using black shadows and a hint of browns/golds.

The tip for a good and long lasting smokey eye is to start with a black eye pencil. The pencil gives a darker look and a great cream base for the powder shadow to cling onto and hold for a longer wear. With the pencil, I apply about half way on the lid and then blend with a smudge brush. You can then apply your powder eye shadow, I worked with a black starting at the bottom then working about half way up the lid then switched to a golden brown shadow to the crease and finished with a highlight under the brow. The bottom lashes were smudged with a little black shadow and a black eye pencil for the waterline. The key to have a beautiful smokey eye is to work from the bottom, up and a lot of blending! The lash line should be the darkest and work your way up using lighter colors. Finish with a nude lip, or a faint color ( To not overpower the smokey eye) and a little blush for a gorgeous smokey look.   

Out on the town

This is a great evening look and one of my favorite looks I like to do on others as well as myself. With a little eyeliner and a red lip you can go from day to night in a snap. 

For this look I used my makeup kit from school for professional use, but you can create this look with any makeup brand. Liquid eyeliner would work best to get a solid straight line and you can even add a little wing at the end to create a more retro look. For the lips, always do a lip pencil first. That will prevent the lipstick from bleeding and give you a longer wear. I made this color from my pallet, but I was going for the Russian Red by MAC color. Adding fake strip lashes will give a better effect for this look and look beautiful on. A little victory role and your set for a night out in the town!
Hope you enjoy.
