Getting Graphic

Today's post is an outfit of the day and it features myself, my couch, my favorite tee (who doesn't like the Beatles?) and a pretty messy apartment (yikes and sorry).

Beatles graphic tee:  Walmart

Black skirt:  Forever 21

Belt:  ???? I think it came with a skirt

Watch:  Belks

Shoes:  Dollhouse

I like to play with different looks when I go to work.  Yes, I work in a office but it does not mean that I can't have fun.  Now this probably isn't the best option if you work in a more conservative office but luckily for me I can get away with most looks.  No point in not being fun.  Graphic + pencil skirt = a fun office look.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Now it's time for us to have an even better, more productive, and overall exciting week.

Huge Announcement!

Today I have some of the greatest news that I could have received this year.  It's one of those moments that as a blogger you wait for and it shows that your hard work is really paying off.  So with that I'd like to announce that my application to the Lucky FABB 2013 Fall conference has been accepted.  I am so excited and very grateful to those who read my blog.  So far this has been amazing.  I would also like to extend a huge thank you to the Lucky Fabb staff.  They are truly awesome.

The conference will take place in New York City. Some of fashion's most influential designers, models, bloggers, and a few celebs will be in attendance.  It's going to be insane and a memorable experience for me. Once again thank you.

Falling For Fall

We are in the last days of Summer and I am finally accepting that fact.  Summer is my favorite season and I hate to see it go but with the fall season comes....fall fashion and beauty.  I love switching my fashion and beauty routine, now that is one thing that I can appreciate.  So without further ado here are the fall beauty trends that I am dying to try.

1.  Va-Va Volume

Yep, you heard right.  The same hairstyles that I dreaded when I was younger are now trending.  Middle parts, huge curls, and big waves are back in.  The bigger the hair the better (even the ponytails are big).  

2.  Bold Nails

This fall season says goodbye to neutrals and hello to bold.  No matter if it's dark, bright, metallic or glittery just make sure it's eye-catching.  

3.  Cat-Eye Makeup

To be honest some runway makeup looks are much too theatrical and whimisical for everyday wear.  However, this is on look that can be worn without odd looks from onlookers.  

4.  Matte Skin

During the warmer seasons we all want that dewy glow.  Well, kiss that goodbye because matte is now in. Take out the powder ladies velvety smooth isn't just for pin ups anymore.

5.  Textured Lips

This season isn't so much about colors as it is about texture.  From flat matte to extreme gloss it seems that just about any color will do just as long as the textures are extreme.  I personally prefer deeper colors but don't be surprised if you catch me with a pink or a red lip.  

So as much as it pains me to pack away my warm weather items I am truly excited about what the fall season has to bring.  What are some of the things that you're looking forward to this fall season?
