Orange Is The New Red

Well, I did it! My first video blog, or VLOG...it's a bit rough but still kind of fun nonetheless! Hope you enjoy!

Orange lipstick, we've seen a lot of it already but will see much more as spring approaches. Be bold, be brave, be beautiful...try it out--I did:

Wildfox Couture

I LOVE this company. Wildfox Couture never fails to disappoint, especially when it comes to the creative direction of their prop and outfit styling. Their designs are fun, edgy, distinctive and casual and I want absolutely everything!

"WILDFOX COUTURE is an American Vintage-inspired women's knitwear brand. Combining great style and unsurpassed quality, Wildfox has quickly gained a following amongst celebrities, trendsetters and top retailers worldwide.

Childhood friends Emily Faulstich and Kimberley Gordon are the creative force behind Wildfox. Inspired by sleepovers, beautiful books, fairies, dreams, vintage t-shirts and their friendship, the young designers gave birth to a brand based on love and having fun!"

The Bangs Are Back

I decided last week to take the plunge...again. Just in time for spring (although it doesn't quite feel like it in Washington) I cut my hair and got straight-across-bangs! At first I always seem to fiddle with them...wishy-washy over whether or not it was actually a good idea, however without fail, I quickly grow to love them.

And I am NOT alone...Kate Moss and Abbey Lee Kershaw are just a few of the many models that rock the look, not to mention the hoards of actresses and singers. I don't exactly have VOGUE written across my face, but if I can do it...so can you! I understand that many females are scared of this "do"--frightened of looking like a little girl or the supposed increase in maintenance, but in reality it can help add an edge, freshness and even some sex appeal from head to toe!

P.S. If you hate it, remember that hair grows!

I Want These:

I WANT THESE:

How cute are these BABOOSHKA THIGH HIGH NUDE & BLACK PANEL LEGGINGS??

"Not your typical leggings. High waisted style with a waistband created completely out of nude spandex cotton jersey. This fabric has the perfect amount of stretch to be your go to leggings.

Thigh High faux leather coated spandex from the thigh down. Reminds me of layering knee socks over leggings but with these your socks will not fall down! Full length."

Love them. Edgy, adorable, unique and adds a perfect amount of interest to a potentially boring outfit! These are the type of pants that you could live in--the next pajama jean, if you will!
