Wine Berry' lipstick

This season lips have to be an uncompromising deep, rich and dark shade, wine berry' is how it was referred to backstage. I guess is hard to wear, but in a slightly thinner textured lip color like those, you get that velour lip-stain finish!




Dior




How to get the look:
  • Choose a dark burgundy lipstick like:
Diva by MAC


Paramount by MAC


  • Use a lip brush which is the best when doing dark lips, applying directly from the tube creates the tendency to over-apply. Start brushing from the center of your mouth, right where your lips touch. It's where you'll want the strongest color. To avoid harsh lines, spread the product from the center of your mouth , up or down, fading toward the lip line.
  • Keep your eyes bare (without even any mascara) with only the brown accentuated.

My best part of the house!!

What girl doesn’t dream of having Carrie Bradshaw’s collection of Christian Louboutins, Manolo Blahniks, and Chanel handbags? Not only do I long for her beautiful wardrobe, but also her beautifully designed walk-in closet with its glass doors, all-white palette, and soft lighting. Once favored solely for their utilitarianism, today’s closets are bigger, bolder, and more luxurious than ever before. Homeowners and interior designers alike are giving closet space the same thoughtful planning and attention to aesthetics as any other space in the home. And much like your wardrobe, a beautifully designed closet can become a direct reflection of your style, personality, and needs. Whether glamorous, understated, modern or traditional; closets have evolved beyond mere utilitarianism into a space that is as elegant and chic as the clothes they house.



Mirrored closet doors not only fill the room with natural light, but also make the space feel larger. The long and low-lying bench forces your eye to look from one side of the room to the other, and adds to the feeling of a large expansive space.


If you don't have the luxury of having a large dressing room or closet, you can still make the space feel chic and elegant by adding your favorite wallpaper to the interior walls and doors.


Tory Burch's closet is a perfect example of how this space can become a direct reflection of one's style and personality. 
The glass closet doors are a beautiful way to showcase your wardrobe while also keeping the space bright and open. The homeowner truly maximized the space with floor to ceiling shelves and a chaise lounge with built-in drawers
The mirrored closet doors help to reflect the natural light; brightening the space and illuminating the clothes.
J. Crew's creative director Jenna Lyons chose to forget a living room and used the space to showcase and store her wardrobe. I like the steel antlers
The purple velvet chair is so beautiful. The closet is not only beautifully decorated with ultra chic furniture and feminine accent pieces, but it is also functional with built-ins that maximize the space.
  I love the monochromatic palette of beiges used in this space. Not only does it create a calming effect, but it also allows the clothes to serve as the main focal point of the space. A monochromatic palette is particularly effective in a dressing room because it prevents your eye from being distracted by other busy patterns or bold colors.
I love the antique chandelier and ornate table in the center of this dressing room. Notice how it serves dual functionalities--a closet and an office space.
Even a small closet can look chic with the addition of a few decorative accents. The addition of wallpaper, black chandelier, and striped ottoman takes the space from simply utilitarian to feminine and fun.




And a special place for these: :)

Gorgeous Make

When I saw this picture I loved it immediately!

Not just because the model is all happy and smiley but the make up itself is fresh and gorgeous! And I've heard so many times that it's hard for black women to find great make up looks to enhance their features....well, here you go!



The list of products used in for this look:
Liquid Eyeliner in Gold Thread and Matte Eye Color in Black Plum, by Laura Mercier
I couldn't figure out the lipstick but it looks exactly like Barbarella by NARS (love, love, love!!!)

It's All About the Details!!!

I love these photos!!! Here you can clearly see how a simple detail changes the entire look and makes everything more interesting!











Unique and unexpected cut-outs, peek-aboo lingerie, numerous layers...it all adds up to create a very a modern and creative look!
