BACKSTAGE BEAUTY: SHIMMERY STATEMENT EYES | DIOR F/W 2014

Photo via: Vogue UK

The shimmery statement eyes were stunning at Dior F/W 2014. Normally shows only have one beauty look, so it was fun to see both the bright blue and greenish gold go down the runway.

If you're bold enough to attempt this look (major props to you!), I suggest playing around with M·A·C Eyeshadow in Electric Eel and/or M·A·C Pigment in Old Gold.

Lookbook: 1 blazer - 3 ways!

I know I keep on saying this but I just love fall fashion.  I was asked by TJ Maxx to shop for a key fall fashion item so I went to my local TJ Maxx and instantly walked into a ton of awesome fall pieces.  When I found this gorgeous designer blazer I knew that I could style it so many ways so definitely had to take it home with me.  (If you want to see what else went home with me, make sure to check out my instagram!)  It fit so well and is definitely something that I had spotted at a higher end department store so when I was able to get it at such a good price at TJ Maxx I was quite pleased with myself!

This made for the perfect outfit to hang out with my girlfriends when we headed out to dinner.  I love the purple mixed with my favorite color of the moment - navy.  It was dressy but not too dressy and made for the perfect pop of color.

This blazer is just such a fall staple that I'm sure you'll see it on me lots!  A few other ideas I had for this blazer... paired with a polka dot blouse and slim black trousers for an easy wear to work look.

And for a casual date night look with my hubs I think it would look fantastic with these cobalt blue jeans, a tank and fun leopard print pumps!

Really the possibilities are endless.  I'm so glad to have found this blazer at TJ Maxx as I'm sure it's going to be a favorite for not just the fall but the rest of the seasons as well.

I was also able to pick up some beauty products to update my fall look as well, I love that they have such a huge selection of beauty products and the prices make it so I can pick up more than a few things! :)

Lookbook: Cozy Sweater and Heart Dress

 What I'm Wearing
Chicwish Sweater - Also comes in orange & navy.
OASAP Dress - How cute is this Peplum Heart Dress?!  I want it.
Dior pumps - They also have them in the higher platform style too.  I like the extra height :) My other
Marc Jacobs Deluxe Wallet - the clutch wallet is slightly cheaper, I love the bubblegum pink. And love that this Marc Jacobs wallet comes with a chain so it's a crossbody bag too!
t+j Designs Bracelets Gold Love Charm | Red Crystal | Gold Chain | Black and Gold Chain (new!)
Gold Double Chain Necklace (new! also in silver)

I love the big cardigans like this that you can wrap around yourself and cozy up in.  It's like the most acceptable way to wear a blanket out in public! I couldn't resist wearing a dress without tights before temps dropped too low (it's totally too low now!) love how this is a bit summery but also the colors work great for the fall.

New chain styles and colors in the store now! And for those of you that requested silver, we finally have them in.  Everything is priced under $34, check it out!  Plus for this week only, if you spend over $40, you get one of our Pop of Color chain bracelets for FREE! use code FREECHAIN at checkout.

Lookbook: Wrinkles

What I'm Wearing
OASAP floral wrinkled blouse (c/o) - Here in a different color scheme.  It's a lot more wrinkly in person than it is in their picture.  I thought it was supposed to be wrinkly so I left it but I'll steam it before I wear it next time to see if I can get it a little less wrinkly.
Madewell Shorts - no longer available.  Madewell is offering an additional 30% off all sale!  My picks are these lace shorts, floral shorts, the market popover and the colorpop jeans. I have the jeans in red and purple and they are the softest, most comfortable jeans I own.  You can see the market popover and the jeans on me in this post.
Miss Dior Peeptoe Pumps - here in a higher platform and closed toe.  You've probably heard me talk about these pumps a lot.  They are a big time favorite of mine (I have them in 2 colors) and they are the kind of shoes that I will never get tired of.  Classic and comfy!
Alexander Wang Rocco Bag - why does my bag look like I have nothing in it?  Oh, it's because it has practically nothing in it! I can only carry a few things in there because the purse weighs a ton on it's own!  Just to let you know in case you are thinking about buying it.  OMG have you seen his newest satchel? It is GORGEOUS.  Definitely adding that to my wishlist.
t+j Designs Star Studs (comes in a set with pink ones too).  Gold and White Enamel Bangle Set and Pink Enamel Bracelet.  New bow necklace - coming next week!  It's one of my favorites of our latest designs.  It's so simple and sweet and comes in 4 colors.
Chloe cat eye sunglasses - similar, I love the scallop ones as well.

If you can believe it, I just steamed my shorts right before taking this picture.  These are the wrinkliest shorts ever!  I sat down for about 10 mins and it looked like this.  But then since my shirt was so wrinkly, I thought I'd just wear a completely wrinkled outfit :)

I am really good at keeping my side of the closet organized and I'm the type of person that has a hanger for every piece of clothing.  Well, my side of the closet is full so I keep some of my stuff onto my husband's side and his side is usually a mess.  Anyway, he's been searching for a pair of corduroy pants that he just got at J Crew but couldn't find them and I just assumed that it was just lost in his messy pile of clothes.  He searched high and low for about a week and the whole time asking me to keep an eye out for them.  One day we were in the closet talking and he asked me about it again and I said I hadn't seen them and then as I reached in to get these pants that I'm wearing in this lookbook, lo and behold, guess what's hanging on my pants hanger?  HIS corduroys!  OMG, I burst out laughing and I couldn't stop laughing.  I had been hiding them the whole time without knowing it.  I had thought they were my cords that had fallen into his pile and just put them on my hanger without even looking at them.  I still can't stop laughing thinking about how he tore his side of the closet apart searching for them when they were just hanging there the whole time.  LOL!

P.S. I looove accessorizing my gadgets, don't you? ;)  Check out my picks here!
