Sparkly earrings, luminous complexion, and red lipstick for Holidays

Sparkly earrings, a luminous complexion, and red lipstick are a must for the holidays.
I have these big sparkly earrings I always wear during this time of year. Another pic of them are on my previous blog. I really need to get another pair, but these and diamond studs are my favorite. Hair up or down you can't go wrong! Adds a great amount of sparkle for the holidays.
Another must for the holidays is a glowing, luminous complexion. I love Benefit's "Girl Meets Pearl". Don't be afraid to put a swipe across your forehead, down your nose, cheekbones, and a smidge on your chin. It really makes your face brighter and more youthful. Which the Winter can make your face look more full, which is why it's important to moisturize! A lot! Also, make sure you use the highlighter on your brow bones. If you are wearing red lipstick I always put more highlighter on my brow bones because it really accents red lips.
I have heard a lot about Benefit's "Watt's Up" highlighter, which you may want to try out, but I haven't yet. If you have tried it please leave your review.
and of course red lipstick is always a must for the holidays! Any variation of red, light or dark. Remember if you are doing dark to add highlighter so you will look more bright.
Highlight and sparkle!!

Old Navy Sweaters!

I love Old Navy sweaters this season. They are so warm and very affordable. Especially look out when Old Navy run sales! Perfect to pair with some dazzling jewelry and high boots. Perfect for winter time! Here are some of the sweaters I love:

Southwestern Print Cardigan from Old Navy. Saw this in an issue of Cosmopolitan and had to have it! Southwestern print is still in style, and this sweater is perfect for traveling or curling up with a book. This is the warmest of the sweaters.

Black and white Old Navy Cardigan. Very cute to pair with black boots. Also very cozy.

White one good for Christmas time! Wear with diamond studs and some red lipstick!

Blue one is a big cozy sweater. I wear this with big sparkly earrings, fur boots, and my hair up and messy. It's very comfy and stylish. Can kinda go off the shoulder. Had to go up a size though. Supposed to fit kinda baggy and runs small.

Sparkly Red Polish for December

Getting close to Christmas time! So time to break out the sparkly red polish!
This week I tried OPI's Animalistic. It's a very shiny lighter red color with a hint of sparkle. It is beautiful! and perfect for Christmas time! The application went on very easily. Maybe my favorite of the whole Muppets Collection.

I wanted to do Gettin Miss Piggy Wit It for my toes, also from OPI's Muppet Collection. I did a base color first, and I didn't get the amount of sparkle I wanted. Then I did it without a base color, and found the polish was very thin. It took many coats to achieve the desired effect. The Excuse Moi polish goes on way easier. I may try a sorbert shade from OPI's Texas Collection for the base. There are some reds in there, so hopefully that will work better!
I thought it would be so pretty to have red nails, and then whenever you finally get to see your feet have pretty red glittery toe nails! Glad Holidays are here!

Rainy days and Fedoras

I love wearing a cute hat when the weather is rainy. Your hair is going to get messed up anyway. So do a low side pony, put on some cute earrings, and a fedora and you're good for the day. The hat helps keep your hair from getting wet, can eliminate a bad hair day, and adds a stylish touch. Love it! I wore this fedora with a baggy sweater and some skinnies. So comfy!

Stylish Girl App - best way to stay stylish!

Okay all you Apple owners. I found an app this summer that I absolutely love, and every girl needs it! It's called Stylish Girl, and it does so many things! This app is also free, except for the calendar which you don't have to have. I think Androids have an app similar to this as well.
First off you build your closet by taking pictures of items you own. This is the most time consuming part, but I love getting organized and it's so worth it! You divide up the items by top, dress, bottoms, shoes, or accessories. Then there is subcategories you put them in. Like always buy earrings and lose them and forget what you have? Well now you can see all of the inventory you have, and hopefully keep track better! This is a wonderful way to know exactly every piece you have at a glance.
The second step is to build your outfits with what you have in your closet. You can keep track of all your different outfits and categorize them in dressy, casual, and etc. If you have a date night you can see all your outfits to choose from for that. Need sunglasses to go with a certain outfit? Click on accessories and then sunglasses and you can choose from what you have. This lets you build more of a complete outfit because all your pieces are at your fingertips. I love going through and looking at all the different outfits I have, and I love just building all different outfits with my pieces! This app really opens your eyes to what's in your closet!
It has a calendar as well. For the full calendar it's $1.99, but you can mark the outfits you wear on a certain day. Great for keeping up with what is worn. With the full calendar you can make notes and go through and see a visual of all the different outfits worn.
I like this app also because if there is a certain trend you want to wear, like fur boots, you can select the fur boots, click the magnifying glass, and it will show you all the different outfits in your wardrobe with those boots. You can also make tags. If you have multiple pairs of fur boots, you can make a tag of that in all the different outfits that have some. That way when you want to wear some, or love the trend and you want to plan out your outfits, just search the tag, and select the days you'll wear what, or just see which one you'll wear today.
Can definitely mix and match more and more efficiently with this app, keep track of outfits you haven't worn yet, keep track of all your items, pack a suitcase, and just use your closet to the fullest. I am in LOVE with this app. Their are so many different things you can do. I could talk about it forever, but seriously download it and start building your outfits. You won't regret it!
