12 DRESSES OF CHRISTMAS: DRESS 5 WINTER FLORAL BY SIMPLY BE

On the 5th day of Christmas my Fashion Fairy gave to me....
Simply Be Body Con Floral Dress

Yes I said it....ya girl has gone body con (but just for the holiday).  I don't wear bodycon (mostly because of the undergarments required to make it look good) but Simply Be makes a great bodycon for the over 24 women

I loved the floral and the dark burgundy color so much and thought it would be perfect dress to go from day to night.

OOTD: LETS TRY THIS AGAIN!!!

Happy Friday Stylistas!!!!

Last year I wore this wrap sweater in an outfit post explaining how not all outfit are hits.
Lets just say the outfit wasn't the best I could have done.  (To see the other outfit click HERE). 

As I was turning over my closet for the winter I found this wrap and decided to try it out again.  This time I build the outfit around the sweater using the same color scheme but better execution. 
This outfit of the day is to mend an outfit gone bad. 



For this outfit I thought to just KISS it.  Sweater dress with beautiful sweater heels and shades.  Nothing fancy.


Makeup is where I did a bit more. Instead of orange shades, as I did with the first outfit (don't ask just....don't ask) I decided to add some contrasting colors on my lip with Maybelline Vivid Matt lipstick in fall orange. 

I'm not the one to brag but ....
NAILED IT!!!

Its been a while since I did an outfit of the day post but I was so focus on getting my Instagram celebration on the way that I didn't take time to take photos of all the fab outfits that you guys love.






For this post I'm also celebrating my 10,000 followers on Instagram.   I wanted to  kept the colors in line with the N.E.C Style colors. I decided to come back with my new favorite designer, Christian Ciriano. This cape is LIFE!!! I've worn it before and every time people ask me where I got it from.

Minimal on the jewelry and makeup.  Just wanted this jacket to stand out on its own.

10 FALL BEAUTY PRODUCTS UNDER $10 BUCKS


I am not a huge makeup girl.  I don't have tons and tons of overprice makeup cluttering my leather knapsack.  I like to keep it simple and chic but I always update my colors and or tools for each season. I wanted to share what I am adding this season with you all.

Here are 10 items I have added to my makeup bag that you will also need in yours as well.






1. e.l.f. Eyebrow Treat & Tame
With Vitamin infused gel to help thin lashed become full on one side and eyebrow mascara filler on the other this is the perfect combination for my fellow thinner lash girls.  The gel also helps to growing trend of full eye browns this fall.  ($3, elf.com)

2. Rimmel Volume Colourist Mascara

Another trend this fall is spider lashes.  I am not big on wearing lashes so I find it easier to apply mascara that darken and gives my lashes volume.  ($8.49, Walgreens)






3. Gold Bond Healing Foot Cream
Feet tend to take a backseat when we know they will be in swede flats, boots and booties.  To keep my feet nice and smooth between sparing winter pedicures this is great lotion for your foot to keep feet  and heels soft. ($7.99, CVS)


4. NYX Make Up Setting Spray
Say Bye-bye to the dew face.  Fall is all about a matte finish face.  I use this spray and as long as the weather is cool I never find the need to re-apply powder foundation. ($7.99, NYX.com)




5.   Maybelline Graffiti Nudes Eye Shadow Palette
With so many trends having a 90's retro feel this color pallete fits right in.  Ranging from gold glitter to fuchsia to teal you bound to find a few combinations in the pallet you will wear all Fall into winter. ($9.99, ultra.com)


6. Zoya Noah Nude Nail Polish
Depending on my skin tone it can go from a simple nude to a high contrast color.  But the one thing you will know...its not your average nude.  Its actually far from it!!! ($10, Zoya.com)


7. China Glaze Rebel Fall Collection
This chocolate metallic look is hard to describe but goes great with military green bomber jacket. Try this or any of the Rebel Fall colors ($8, ultra.com)

8. Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme: Obsession
I love love love matte lip and the vamp lip trend is just what I needed in my life.  Trendy colors I don't like to spend a lot on so get this if you want to try the vamp lip this fall. ($7.99, target.com)


9. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip: Love is On
If your not feeling the matte lip trend then a super soft red lip stick is also a trend is winter.  This Revlon color is not the supper wet look of the summer but has a simple classic look.  If red is a new thing for you having a low cost red will make you feel better if it doesn't work out.  ($4.99, target.com)

10. Revlon Colorstay Cream Gel Eyeliner
With heavy eye liner being another beauty trend, this is something that is easy to use.  The best thing is if  you mess up or don't like this trend you won't feel like you broke your bank to achieve the look. ($10.99, ultra.com)

FALL 2016 SHOE TRENDS


Fall is my favorite time of season.  I feel that fashion in fall is more fun don't you think?  I know I am a snow bunny and love the cooler air but there is something about fall fashion that everyone seems to love.
I have been looking through my retailers and have seen some amazing shoes for the fall.  With so many new trends I thought I break down some categories of shoes you MUST have in your closet this Fall.
Don't worry....all of these shoes come in wide width and most come up to a size 13!!!




Tall boots for the fall is all about the detail.  Deconstructed leather, denim, suede and even chunky heels are in every retailer for shoes there is.
My favorite is the over the knee suede boots from Eloquii (first shoe on the left).  Its so sophisticated and fun I can see all types of women wearing it.  AND....if over the knee is not your style, it can be worn as a tall boot as well.



Short boots or booties can give you a boot feel without it being too tall.  This season Booties are mostly stacked heel with a 90's feel to them.  Booties already give you a wester feel but with  the infux of the rolled pants leg booties went super slick and fashionable so you will be able to show them off. 

My fave is this cute number from nordstrom.com




These shoes are all fall.  A higher cut shoe but with cut out to the back and toe makes it sexy.  But don't think you just gonna wear these open toe.  I have see them paired with colorful or textured tights to give them a new life as the temperature starts to dip. 
If you like a close toe shootie try these from fullbeauty.com 




Metallics have returned for another seasons.  Silver seems to be the most trending color but you will find all kind of shinny metallic colors at your local department shoe store.


MARY JANES
We all know that the 90's are back this year and with that comes Marry Janes.  I have had a love hate relationship with this type of shoes (comes from wearing them for school in the 90's) but I do see the love for them.  With an array of colors and fabrics you can find one that fits your style.
Most come with a chunky or wedge.  Tassle or flat.   But, always they are a class all its own.





This shoe, inspired by menswear, is a great way to keep your look casual but funky at the same time.  I love oxfords and everything they represent.  With lines being blurred between men and womens fashion, the oxford is something men and women can wear and both be fashionable.  Just don't wear matching oxfords.

RETRO SNEAKERS w. EVERYTHING

Adidas, Pumas, Hi tops...you name it its back.  Nothing says retro like a pair of Classics 3 stripe Adidas or the retro all white Reboc.  I dont know if it was the film "The Get Down" or  the mini series "The Breaks" but we all back in love with eveyrthing from late 80's-early 90's
Pair your adidas with a shirt or dress or ripped denim....it doesn't matter.  They are being worn with everything and everyone can get in on them.

THOM BROWNE PRE FALL 2016 COLLECTION



If your have followed my blog for a bit you know this is one of my fave menswear designer.  I was excited to go through these photos and see what this in your favorite designer has planned for women this Fall.




Thom Browne, veteran Menswear designer, has released his Fall 2016 collection.  The collection has been viewed as "Vintage & Sporty".  I agree with this but I also felt it has a 1920's college all womens prep school feel to it.


With Color block heels, dog shaped bags, beaver fur and plastic patent leather this collection made me swoon. Colors stay true to the American designer red white and blue stripe through the collection.  Lots of layers, menswear feel, and hourglass silhouettes were all throughout the collection. According to Browne this collection is light on formal ambition but strong in pep.



As always, please understand that this designer doesn't create everything is not for ready to wear.  Its like walking art when he creates.  I cant wait to see more of is collection.  Here are a few more photos from the collection.
