Style Collage: College Cutie

Hello! It's Friday and school week! So it's time for a college worthy Style Collage! I played around for a bit trying to figure out what I wanted to do. It took me a bit but I finally decided I's start with a ruby-striped crew tee. Next, I added a pair of cute dark washed skinnies. Now I needed some shoes. I couldn't think of what to do. Ankle boots! That's what I needed! Almost instantly, a pair of soft brown booties appeared before me! Now all I needed was some makeup and a bag. I didn't have to search very far for the bag. But finding the perfect shade of nail polish? That's another story! It took a very long time......but I eventually found it! And the collage was complete! Here it is:

Shirt; Sparkly Rugby-Stripe Crew Tee, $6 Aeropostale  Jeans; Washed Effect Super Stretch Jeans, $40 Mango  Shoes; Report Women's Marks Ankle Boot, $50 endless.com  Bag; N/A, $7.85 cambridgesatchel.co.uk  Nail Polish; REVLON Vernis à Ongles Couleurs N° 620 Bewitching, $13 placedestendances.com

Style Collage: I Must Be Dreaming

Hello! Sorry that I'm a bit behind in my posts! I've been out sick :(. I'm feeling better now so I'm here to get back on track! This post is for Friday! The Style Collage is kind of spacey and futuristic inspired. I started with a hot pink flowy dress! Next, I added some silver patent Jimmy Choo heels! I fiddled around trying to figure out what I wanted to add next. I wasn't having much luck. So I decided to checkout the cosemetics and see what I could find. And right there was the perfect purple Nars nail polish to complete the look! Here is the complete collage:

Style Collage: Walking Along The Shore

Hello! For today's Style Collage I decided to use one of my favorite pair of shorts from yesterday's Style Secrets post. I'm not sure about you, but my favorite was the light aqua pair from dELiAs! When I saw these shorts I thought of warm summer days and walking along the shore. Keeping up with the mood, I added a loose white H&M tank top. Shoes was a bit a more difficult. I wanted something summery. But flip flops looked too tacky and I couldn't seem to find the right pair of sandals. Finally I landed on a pair matching aqua woven ankle wrap sandals! A perfect fit! Next I needed a pair of hip sunglasses. Instantly I found what I was looking for! My collage seemed a little empty. Even though I thought I was done. So I went browsing for a little something extra. I wasn't sure what I was looking for. But I kept searching. That's when I found it. A sunset hued Kate Spade bangle. It was brilliant! The color combination of orange and aqua was stunning! After finding this treasure I was instantly inspired! And before long I had added three more things to my collage! It was finally complete. And here it is:

Dress; Joie Balsa Top, $128 joie.com  Shorts; Taylor 2 1/2" Mint Denim Short, $35 delias.com  Sunglasses; H&M Sunglasses, $7.79 H&M  Shoes; Woven Ankle-Wrap Sandal, $26 Charlotte Russe  Bracelet; Off The Beaten Path Hinged Bangle, $66 Kate Spade  Mascara; Estée Lauder Turbolash All Effects Motion Mascara™ Black, $47 harrods.com  Ring; Astley Clarke Color Symphony Pink Chalcedony Ring, $180 atsleyclark.com  Bath Soap; philosophy 'sweet orange honey jam' shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath, $16 Nordstrom

Well there you have it! Until next time! Au revior!

Style Collage: Fancy That

Hello! This post is a Style Collage featuring the last of the high-low dresses for this week! I must admit I had a hard time selecting JUST one! But I finally chose glamorous light aqua number! Now at times I can come up with some pretty wild outfit ideas. But listening to a sweet serenading song while making up my mind I decided to go simple, fancy, and small. I only needed two things. Shoes (obviously) and a pretty purse (it's really simple so there will be a makeup collage following). I was deciding what hue these iteams should be in while browsing through images of various shoes of all types and colors. When I happened upon an ivory satin heel by Dorothy Perkins! It was perfect! The only problem? Finding a matching toned bag. One bag after another popped up. One was too bright. Another too silver. And there were some that matched, but let's face it. They were just too ugly. I was about to give up and switch to a pair of earrings instead when on the last page, buried underneath a bountiful boatload of bags (alliteration!) was a glimmering patent tote. It was the final iteam to my last style collage of the week. And here it is:

Dress; Glamorous Dress high low, $25 houseoffraser.co.uk  Shoes; Ivory satin court shoes, $44 dorothyperkins.com  Purse; Mulberry Patent Bayswater Tote, $1,240 harrods.com 

Well I hope seeing all of these high-low dresses this week has given you a look at some of the great dresses (and outfit ideas) that you can find (and create)! Until next time! Au revior!

Style Collage: It Dawned On Me

Hello! Today I decided to put to together a collage using the one of the cuff's from yesterday's Style Secrets and piece that has to do with Wednesday's Anne Analysis! I started off with one of my favorite cuff's from the list. The chic gold Dorothy Perkins cuff! I started thinking about what color I wanted to work with this gold. Lot's of colors go with gold. But it dawned on me that I beautiful and light peach would compliment it nicely! So I was off to search for the perfect hi-low dress. It came to me rather easily and I found a brilliant chiffon number! After the dress had been selected I decided that I better get started finding some shoes. They golden hue was stuck in my mind. So I searched all around looking for the right pair of heels. This was quite a bit harder than the dress, since I wanted to find the right hue and style to go with the dress and cuff. But I finally found them! A pair of Prada! Score! I was almost done. But something was missing. I needed more jewelry. But another bracelet seemed wrong. A ring didn't fit. A necklace looked silly.  A pair of earrings would be best. But everything came back all wrong. Everything looked to tacky! My search seemed pointless. Until....a pair of gold feather earrings came up. They were perfect! My collage was complete! And here it is:

Dress; LOVE Peach Chiffon Asymmetrical Maxi Dress, N/A inlovewithfashion.com  Earrings; Candie's Gold Tone Simulated Crystal Bead & Leopard Feather Linear Drop Earrings, $10 Kohl's  Cuff; Chunky gold look cuff, $17 dorothyperkins.com  Shoes; PRADA Rose Gold Strappy Sandal, $650 PRADA

Well there you have it! Until next time! Au revior!

Style Collage: Here Comes The Sun

Bonjour! As I'm sure you have noticed....it's summer! Time to roll out the new Spring/Summer trends :). So today I'm going to play a little game with you. Usually I do all of the writing then I post the picture of the style collage. But no today. Instead....I'm going to put the picture up first. And you're going to play a little iSpy :). I've composed the following collage with many Spring/Summer trends. 3 Fashion and 2 Makeup :). Think you can spot them all? Give it your best shot :). I'll still give you the answers of course. However, I'd love it if you could tell me, honestly, in my ask box what how many you found on your own :). Well here is the collage:

Cardigan; Openwork Knitted Cardigan, $15 Mango  Dress; Yellow buttercup dress, $21 Dorothy Perkins  Socks; Women's Lace Trim Ankle Socks, $2.99 Payless  Shoes; Vince Camuto 'Jasper' Mary Jane Pump Black Patent 9.5 M, $59 Nordstrom  Nail Polish; Sunny Capri Nail Polish, $6 jacob.ca  Perfume; Versace Yellow Diamond Eau De Toilette 1.7 Oz, $67 Lord and Taylor  Lipgloss; Bare Escentuals Bareminerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss, $18 Macy's

Style Collage: Powerful in Peplum

Hello! As I'm sure you know, peplum is a really popular trend in the world of fashion right now! But what should you do to translate the peplum in couture to your everyday wear? Well this week I've decided to work it out! Today I started with a chic black peplum pencil skirt. To continue with the classy scheme, but add some flirtatious charm, I added a gorgeous red halter top to the set. Next comes the shoes. Now shoes can make or break a girl. Sure you want to strut your stuff, but there is such a thing as too much. In my search for the perfect shoes, I came across many different pairs. Patent sky-high pumps where thrown at me, towering wedges were tossed out there, sandals shouting for summer were flung in my direction, at first I was worried that the shoe of my dreams wasn't out there. But finally, after a worrisome search, I found the perfect pair! Some chic suede D&G laid back heels were the ideal shoes for this look! After my shoe search, I was off to a purse to hold all of the goodies a girl needs. However, a big bag did not seem like the right choice. Unlike my quest to find the flawless heels, the purse came to me almost instantly. A classic Kate Spade was what I needed. I added a few things that are essential things to pack, and then I was done! Here is the finished look:

Top; Chrissie Halter Top, $30 Coast  Skirt; Black Peplum Skirt, $57 Miss Selfridge  Purse; Gold Coast Meadow, $398 Kate Spade  Shoes; D&G Red Marilyn Suede Court Shoe, $385 D&G  Eyeshadow; Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Color Quad Refill -208, $55 Barney's  Lipstick; L'Absolu Rouge, $30 Lancome  Blush; Giorgio Armani Sheer Blush, $44 Nordstrom Mascara; Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara, $26 Sephora  Lotion; Philosophy Sweet Talk Lotion, $24 Lord and Taylor  Soap; Philosophy Frosted Cookie High-foaming Shampoo, Shower Gel, & Bath Soap, $16 Nordstrom  Perfume 1; Lalique 2 Anemones Flacon, Black, $1,600 Bloomingdales Perfume 2; Dior Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle Eau De Toilette, $74 John Lewis  Sunglasses; Gucci Square-frame acetate sunglasses, $295 Net-A-Porter  Nail Polish; Dior 'Vernis' Nail Lacquer Or Divin 221 One Size, $23 Nordstrom  Photo; Ralph Lauren Holiday 2011, Models.com

Well I hope that helped! Until tomorrow! Au revior!

Style Collage: Royal in Blue

Hello! I've decided to make a Style Collage post to go with the previous Anne Analysis post. I really wanted to do something that was perfect for walks through the park. But of course, this post needed to have a bit of that beautifully bold blue that we were talking about. So, I started by looking for a really simple royal blue dress. I admit the search was hard. But the very last dress in the results, was the perfect one! After I had the dress, I went on to pick the prettiest garden-approriate tights. That search was easy! I found the most gorgeous Garden Hosiery Tights right away! After I had plucked the perfect tights for this fab outfit, I went on to the challenge of picking shoes. I wanted to feature some of that royal blue hue in the shoes, but it didn't look right with the dress and the tights. So I started leaning towards black shoes, but it looked too dark and heavy in comparison to the light and airy look I currently had. After much pondering, I decided to look at both coloured shoes and pick whichever looked the most marvelous. Thank goodness for Giuseppe Zanotti! He had the most spot-on black and blue velvet booties waiting for me! They were perfect! Black and blue! Glamorous and simple! I couldn't have asked for anything better! After I had found the right shoes for the collage, I went on to jewelry. The very first thing I saw was added to my collection without a thought! A gold chain necklace flaunted a charm, which was an exquisite crown placed inside of a square frame with beautifully detailed floral edges. It looked simply marvelous next to the dress! Afterwards, I decided to pick out a simple gold ring. Simplicity is beauty! Now for the actual beauty, I needed to pick out the perfect colour of lip pencil to pair with an already bold blue! Thank goodness for NYX! They had the perfect color of red for the job! And M.A.C had matching lipstick awaiting me! What luck! Now, here is the finished collage.

Dress; Mazarine in the Mezzanine Dress, $39.99 ModCloth  Necklace; Crown Jewelry Necklace, $14.99 ModCloth  Tights; Garden Hosiery Tights, $14.99 ModCloth  Lipstick; M·A·C Lipstick in Mac Red (if you want a bolder shade, try Ladybug Red.

Description: Strolling through the grounds, your dark blackish blue heels click against the stony pavement. Your garden perfect tights accentuate your prancing legs as you wind around the corner. Your royal blue wispy dress blows slightly in the faint breeze. Your golden crown necklace and simple gold band ring make you feel like royalty! As you look down into the stirring waters of the fish pond, you can clearly see your perfect light red lips sparkling in the ripples. Life is good, and you enjoy it!

Until next time! Enjoy the start of a new week!

Style Collage: F is for Faux Fur

Hello! As winter approaches, you know that F is for faux fur! It's just enough to keep you warm without any animals ending up hibernating for a long long time. Anybody who knows me should know I despise fur and the killing of animals! I am full-on against it! But faux fur, I can handle. Now for today's collage, I decided to do something with hot pink, just because I thought it was a very contrasting color to winter's palette. So, I started this collage with a hot pink v-neck long sleeved shirt. Afterwards, I decided to add a super cute faux fur sleeveless shrug. It looked great with the shirt I had picked out! For pants, I decided that simple dark skinny jeans would suffice for the look. I knew white faux fur trimmed boots were a must have for this ensemble! And it was just a matter of picking the right ones. After a bit of a search, I had finally come up with them! Some stylish and warm white Bebe boots with tassels to much the shrug were a perfect fit! After I had those wonders in my collection, I was off to find some cute sunglasses that would be perfect for relaxing in the snowy Alps. It didn't take very long to find the right pair! Once I had completed that task, I went on to finish the look with some warm pink hued lipstick and blush. I found both sufficiently quick after an easy search! The winter wonderland outfit was finished! Here is the complete collage.

Shirt; Three Dots 1x1 Cotton Modal L/S Deep V-Neck w/ Pleated Trim, $19.99-$21.99 6PM.com  Jeans; The Stilt, $210 AG Jeans  Shrug; Kensie Sleeveless Faux Fur Shrug in Just Nude, $58 Nordstrom  Lipstick; Bobbi Brown '20th Anniversary' Lip Palette, $60 Nordstrom  Sunglasses; Oakley Sunglasses, Gascan, $100 Macy's  Blush; Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Blush in Fruit Cocktail, $19 Macy's  Boots; Rafa Faux Fur Trim Logo Boot, $119 Bebe

Description: Though winter may be here, you'll look warm and cozy in your hot pink hues and faux fur. Your rosy cheeks give off that healthy glow given by the high altitude and freezing temperatures. Your lips are decked out in warm colors, giving them attitude. And your chic sunglasses let all the other snowboarder's know that though you look sweet, you mean business.


Until next time! Au revior!

Style Collage: Boudoir Style

Hello world! I have some things that are a little bit different from my other posts to share today. The first is that I have decided to attach a photo that inspired the collage I produced. The other is the style of the collage I assembled. I am sure the title gave you a clue as to what you might expect ;). I admit I was rather hesitant about writing this post, but the collage looked so beautiful that I simple HAD to share it! Are you ready? Good! Let's start by sharing my inspirational photo (I actually already had this photo on hand as a piece of inspiration).

I started putting together this look with gorgeous silk and chiffon "dress". After that, I decided to add a little mystery. So I added the most luxurious of black silk trenches! For accessories, I picked out some very beautiful pearl drop earrings. For the shoes, I was thrilled to find some 'Fierce' strappy heels! They were perfect! I am not quite sure whether or not champagne glasses count as an accessory, but let's just include them in the party :). On to the makeup! For the eyeshadow, I had trouble choosing which palette to go with. I finally decided upon a silver Dior (thinking that it should be applied VERY lightly so as to create a shimmer and not a matte eye). However, there were a number of pinks and skin-toned hues to choose from for those who prefer the skin like colours. After I had the eyeshadow done, I decided to add an eyeliner pencil. Just for a hint of mystery and seductiveness. Now, I don't care for false eyelashes. They always seem tacky and fake to me. But in this instance, these "if you can't take it, just fake it" lashes looked exquisite! And they looked marvelous with the rest of the look! So I let them pass. After I had made an exception for those fantastic faux lashes, I was off to pick out a lipgloss with the perfect nude hue to suit the "dress". Though it took a bit of a search, I finally found it. The perfect gloss! However, I am sad to report that I have lost my notes regarding the product information for those wishing to purchase it :(. After the lips were taken care of, I just needed the finishing touch to polish off my greatly anticipated collage. The perfume. There are two ways to go when it comes to "sultry" scents. The first path can take you to a rather cheap and unpolished place. The second path however, can take you to place of sensual luxury. I of course, chose the second path. And at the end of that road lay Gucci's Guilty Intense perfume. I had heard about it, and the following description (quoted from Macy's website) made me certain of my choice (I admit the scent I would later smell helped me be sure of my choice as well): "Gucci Guilty Intense is a twist from the successful Guilty scent you know, made more intense, provocative and sensual. The floral signature of the lilac flower has been enriched with violet accents and made even more feminine with hints of powdery notes. The addictive patchouli and ambery dry down has been greatly enhanced for a darker and more provocative trail. Experience Gucci Guilty Intense with this 2.5 oz Eau de Parfum Spray.". Okay, I think I have made you wait to long for the collage! So here it is:

Trench Coat; Emanuel Ungaro Duchess silk-satin trench, $886 (Sale Price. Original Price; $4,430 TheOutnet.com  Eyelashes; Napoleon Perdis Lash Patrol Strip #747 M, $9 Ulta  Dress; Julien Macdonald Lace-detailed silk-chiffon dress, $1,538 (Sale Price. Original Price; $4,395) TheOutnet.com  Perfume;  Gucci Guilty Intense Eau de Parfum, 2.5 oz, $102 Macy's  Earrings; Carolee Pave Loop & Pearl Drop Earrings, $45 Dillard's  Champagne Glass; Champagne Flute - Unbreakable Polycarbonate by Prodyne, $4.99 Cooking.com  Shoes; Badgley Mischka black satin 'Fierce' strappy sandals, $122 Bluefly.com  Eyeliner; Elizabeth Arden Smoky Eyes Powder Pencil, $16 Dillard's  Eyeshadow; Dior 1-Colour Extreme in Chrome, $28.50 Bloomingdale's

Description: Sultry. Mysterious. Seductive. Luxurious. Sensual. It's all part of the look. Can you work it?

Hope the wait was worth it! Until next time! Au revior!

Style Collage: E is for Earth

Hello! I am very sorry for the delay in posts. I have caught a bug that has been keeping me in bed :(. I am quite better this morning though! So I am amped up and ready to present to you today's style collage! When hearing the word "earth", your mind can go in many different directions. Mine wandered off to hippies! For some reason I have lately been enchanted by hippie inspired looks and boho iteams. But I always need a bit of an edge to make it more me. So I started off this earthy beauty with an edgy bangle set, some hippie edgy gladiator sandals, and a mini dress with a fab print! After having these three iteams on hand, I had very little left to do in order to finish my look. To complete the accessories, I just needed to add the simplest of hoops. That let me finish off my work in the accessories department. Then I went on to tackle the category that would cause me the most work. Makeup! For the lips I didn't want to go for a pale color. Instead I went towards a rich dark tone. And I must say that it goes perfectly!!! For the eyeshadow I wanted some deep earthy tones but I wanted the option of color. I was in luck when I found the perfect palettes for this look! For the last piece of this collage, I needed a good perfume to top it all off. I was ecstatic to find True Religion's Hippy Chic perfume. It fit right in! Here is the complete collage.

Eyeshadow; Tarte Puttin' On The Glitz Limited-Edition Color Collection & Purse, $48 Ulta  Dress; Cobra Mini Dress, $110 All Saints  Perfume; True Religion True Religion Hippy Chic, $59 Ulta  Earrings; Sleek hoop earring, $7.99 Coldwater Creek  Bracelets; Multi Skinny Bangle Set, $34 Bebe  Shoes; Matt Bernson Women's KM Gladiator Sandal in Brown Soft Veg or Brown Oil, $102-176 Amazon.com  Lipgloss; MAC Pro Longwear Lustre in Night Rose, $22 Dilliards

Description: You can be richly subtle like the earthy ground beneath us, or loud and wild like the rolling thunder! You can be a simple and quite hill, or a rocky mountain grazing the heavens! Whatever you prefer, make sure you stay a true earthy beauty.

Until next time! See you later!

Style Collage: T.G.I.F.

Hello! Thank goodness it's Friday! And I have a fabulous look to present to you! Designed so you can go out and party or chill with your friends, this look is perfect for Friday's. I started the look with a pair of shoes. They were very daring shoes so I needed something casual so the look wasn't just an outfit for going out. I decided that a cute black belted sweater dress would do the trick. For accessories, all I added was a pair of fun and elegant earrings. For makeup, I used some light red lipstick and the perfect MK Perfume. Here is the complete collage.

Dress; Alice + Olivia Belted Sweaterdress, $396 Neiman Marcus  Earrings; Black Chandelier Earrings, $45 Saks Fifth Avenue  Lipstick; Revlon Moon Drops - Frost Lipstick in Goldmist Bronze 300, $8.99 Drugstore.com  Shoes; Giuseppe Zanotti, $2,070 Bergdorf Goodman  Perfume; Michael by Michael Kors Gift Set, $98 Macy's

Description: The music tumbles through the air as you relax. Your friends had invited you to a casual dinner at one of your favorite restaurants. Feeling a little adventurous that night, you decided to wear your new statement boots. Keeping the casual vibe however, you wore a simple slouchy belted sweater dress. Your earrings were a little elegant yet playful. Your lips managed to stay relaxed as well, even without using a muted color. Your sweet and luxurious Michael Kors perfume was the finishing touch to your ensemble. And before you knew it; you were on your way to have a fabulous night.

Until next time! Have a great weekend!

Style Collage: Vampire Weekend Vixen

Hello world! Do you know what tomorrow is? Of course you do! Tomorrow's Friday! I have a wonderful collage planned, but today I have something different to share. Today's look is inspired by a certain New York originating band called Vampire Weekend. A mix of indie, rock, and pop music; this band is always filling up my home with their melodious music. The look started out with a simple yet iconic "I Love New York" T-shirt. I added a pair of cute skinny jeans afterwards. Not wanting to go to casual I added a fab black blazer. For shoes, I felt that I needed some rad ankle boots. I was in luck! A pair of studded Stuart Weitzman boots awaited me at Neiman Marcus. For accessories I was ecstatic to find the perfect earrings. Adorable taxi cab studs from Betsey Johnson! I needed something that featured the glorious Statue of Liberty. I was glad to find a cute black watch with a simple Statue of Liberty face to fit my needs. For makeup, I wanted to use something more dramatic and edgy. Thank goodness I knew just what I needed. American flag decorated lips! Not wanting to go overboard on the drama, I topped off the look with some basic black eyeliner. Here is the complete collage.

Style Collage: D is for Debutante

Debutante: an upper-class young woman making her first appearance infashionable society. That is the definition of the fab word "debutante". Today I needed to put together a look inspired by this French originating word. To start, I picked out two beautiful French dresses. After I had those beautiful creations, I was off to search for some magnifique shoes. I was heruex when I found some very joli shoes! For accessories I just needed a very simple yet elegante watch. And the makeup just required some very pretty rose lipgloss and eyeshadow/blush. Here is the complete college.

Style Collage: Blood Red Beauty

Ready for Halloween? I am! In the spirit of things I decided to make a look inspired by a blood red beauty. A vampire! I started with a bright red ModCloth dress. Afterwards I was on the hunt for some killer heels. Once I had them in my grasp, I decided to get some scream worthy make up. I slinked through the stores trying to find the perfect lipstick when I spotted an UltraFlesh Perfect Reds 6-Piece Set. A perfect collection of beautiful bloody hues, it was freakishly perfect. Though I already had lipstick, I still felt the need to grab some blood red colored Twilight Venom lipstain/lipgloss. Then, I was off trick-or-treating for some eye products. I'm not a big fan of false eyelashes but I felt drawn to some dazzling ones. Once I had added some fine eyeliner my makeup was complete. The last piece off this look was a captivating ruby ring. Here is the complete collage.
