WOW, Anne Hathaway!

How amazingly striking does Anne Hathaway look in this shoot for Glamour Magazine? WOW! I think she looks fabulous! Her short hair has definitely grown on me and the outfits for the shoot added just enough glamour to her look. I really am a big fan of Anne's in general. She seems like such a humble and down to earth individual. Check out her interview here to see for yourself!

This girl can do no wrong. She is the most popular model of the moment, and has been my personal favorite for a few years. Joan Smalls graces the cover of Vogue Turkey for their December issue wearing Dolce & Gabana. Joan was photographed by Cüneyt Akeroglu with styling by Ece Sukan and looks absolutley fab!

I would like to more than ever...

Wedding Chic: Miami Style!

2012-11-26T20:21:00.001-08:00

Peplum Dress: Banana Republic

Teal Earrings: Banana Republic

Cheetah Heels: W Shoes

This past weekend, I attended my beautiful cousins wedding at The Palm Hotel in Miami! It was a gorgeous celebration full of family, friends and amazing food. And the decor of her wedding was perfect for our South Florida weather.

Now about my outfit! When I went shopping, I had not planned anything in my mind that I wanted to buy. We all know that when you envision an outfit in your head and then get to the store, they never have exactly what you had envisioned, which can be such a dilemma. So I went to the mall with an opened mind and not a clue of what to buy.

My last stop was Banana Republic, and thank goodness because I was not having luck at any other store. I saw this black peplum dress right when I walked in a knew I needed to try it on. It is from their new collection and looked extremely versatile; something that I always look for in an outfit. After trying it on, I knew this dress was great for an occasion like a wedding, but also has the ability to be dressed down for a more casual look for work, while still being extremely chic!

Once I tried on the dress, I had "envisioned" a green pair of chandelier earrings, and lucky for me, Banana Republic has this STUNNING pair displayed in their jewelry section. Oh and the best part, everything in the store was 30% off so I was definitely purchasing both the dress and earrings. For my shoes, I opted for a cheetah heel that I wore with the dress seen in this post from my trip to Puerto Rico (sorry, I did not photograph them before).

All in all, I think this look came together perfectly. I am extremely happy with my purchases and I was very comfortable during the wedding. Now I have a beautiful peplum "LBD" that is multi-functional and great for many different affairs; plus a striking pair of teal earrings that I know I will get a lot of use out of.

DIY: Collage On A Budget!

The Final Product!

I wanted to find a way to personalize my bedroom, but I was on a budget so I had to get creative. I had taken so many beautiful photos from when I studied abroad in Bordeaux and Paris, so I thought, why not put these photos to good use and display them! I went to Ross and purchased various frames in all different colors and sizes. Each frame cost me about $5, which was a great bargain! Then I went to Home Depot and bought white spray paint to make all the frames look more uniform. I then had all my photos printed at Walgreens and ta-da! A beautiful new collage that is personal and reminiscent of my time abroad. This project cost me about $60 total, and I love the outcome!

DIY: Reinvent A Side Table!

After

To add a bit more storage space to my room, I purchased this small side table at Ross for $25 a few months ago. I thought that the piece had some potential, so I channeled my inner Martha Stewart and gave this side table a mini makeover! A little spray paint did the trick and now I have a cute piece of furniture to display all my magazines on top of and three draws that store more makeup and random items. This DIY only cost about $35 total, which I think is a great deal!

Pretty in Peplum!

Lately, I have a serious obsession with peplum everything and odds are that you will be seeing many more outfit of the day/night with peplum tops or dresses from me. What I like most about the peplum structure is that they are extremely flattering, and I can eat as much as I want, and not have to worry about something clinging to me... yes, I am a food addict!
I hope everyone had a nice weekend and is ready for Thanksgiving!

Denim + Gold

2012-11-15T08:44:00.000-08:00

Denim Jacket: American Eagle

Gold Necklace: H&M

Watch: Michael Kors

Black Dress: Old Navy

Lips: NYC "Wine n' Dine"

Nails: Essie's "Marshmallow"

Lip color can be extremely intimidating! But I just LOVE how a bold lip can add such pazzaz to an everyday look. So on Tuesday, I decided to go for a wine colored lip to wear at work. I want to keep experimenting with colors like deep reds, berry tones, and various wine shades, so hopefully I will have more updates and photos on my lip color adventures soon!

Also, I have been on the hunt for a denim jacket, and finally found one this past weekend at American Eagle for $50! I thought that was a great deal and really like the color of the denim as well. And what I like most is that I will be able to dress this jacket up and down depending on my mood for the day!

Sizzling Hot For GQ!!

Rihanna is SMOKIN' HOT for GQ cover: Obession of the Year. The singer exudes sex appeals, and although the photos are a bit racey, I think she looks beyond fabulous!! I admire her edginess and how comfortable she is in her own skin.

Everyone looked IMPECCABLE at the 2012 MTV European Music Awards. The show was held in Frankfurt, Germany where Heidi Klum was the host for the night. I had many favorite looks, but I have to say, and this is a first for me, that I loved Taylor Swift's J. Mendel elegant floor-length gown!
