Look of the Day: Beach Wedding

20121030-080201.jpg

Finally I get a chance to show you the look I wore Saturday night to a beach wedding in Mexico. I went for an of-the-moment nude dress since I had been dying for an opportunity to wear one. I was torn between wearing it with nude heels or black heels because I had decided to add a black belt to the ensemble, but ended up going for the nude choice, the lighter color felt more beach appropriate.
Now, one of my favorite things about this look is my hair and makeup. The wedding was nearby my hometown and I have been going to the same stylist there for over 10 years. She’s absolutely brilliant, seriously Hollywood stylists got nothing on her. We decided to do a deep red, almost burgundy, lip color, which I adored so much I ended up buying it on the spot. And the hair, a side updo with retro waves, I loved just as much.
So, what do you think of the dramatic lip, will you be wearing darker lips this season?

Newbies

I know I’ve been kind of absent from the blog this week, but things have been a little crazy (as in psycho-crazy!) for me lately. However, I’m ecstatic that it’s finally Friday, and I promise to try really hard to work on some new content this weekend.
I am also very excited to start receiving some packages with a few items I purchased online this week. I’ve been on a real shopping craze for the past 6 weeks or so, and besides waiting to receive some new things in the mail, I have a few new things at home I bought weeks ago that I haven’t worn yet.
So stay tuned to find out how I’ll be styling some of this new babies soon. I won’t show you everything I’ve bought… There is one item in particular I am dyyyyyiiing to show you, but I’ll wait until it’s properly styled to make its debut on the blog (it happens to be a fall item and it’s still too damn hot to wear in this city, so bear with me on the wait)… But here are a few I can share with you for now. I am really excited about the cognac crossbody bag, I had been searching for one for a while; the black shoes are practically flats, and I would’ve liked them to be a little higher, but still happy with them; the two pair of heels are waiting for me at home right now and I can’t wait to get home and greet them; the skirt and nude clutch should be in next week, and the statement necklace may have to wait a couple of weeks to be in my hands. The best part is I got excellent deals on all the items. What do you think? Do you have a favorite item from this list?

Look of the Day: Neon Shopping

Here’s a little something I put together over the weekend, portraying my latest obsession: the neon trend! I’m particularly fond of the neon yellow/gray color combo, so just warning you, this won’t be the last time you see me wearing it. Something else that won’t be the last time you’ll see me wearing is the belted-waist silhouette, in fact, it’s what I wear the most. You see, I’m a curvy hourglass figure, and highlighting my waist (like with a belt!) along with an A-cut skirt or dress is what works best on me, so I stick to it. I also looooove statement necklaces, and I own a small collection of them (including this fringe necklace), so that’s another staple of mine you’ll find here often.

This past weekend was quite busy for me, but one of the highlights was squeezing in some time to do some fun shopping. Under 2 hours at the mall is all it took for me to find quite a few lovely additions to my wardrobe. One of them is this neutral envelope clutch from Aldo, which I had been needing for a while, and of course it didn’t hurt that it was on sale for $17!

Hope you guys had a fabulous weekend as well, what were the highlights of yours?
