Perfect NYE Makeup

I found this picture on Pinterest recently and fell in love with the simple but festive look. It's perfect for holiday parties and specifically a night on the town for NYE. Here is how I recreated this look, as well as how to get the perfect red lip to go with it. Also, don't forget to check out my first giveaway here!

OOTD: Out of the Box

I have always been a matchy-matchy kind of girl. When I was little, my shirt had to match my pants which then matched my socks and my shoes. I'm sure I threw in a matching scrunchie as well! Needless to say, with the trend being a mix of prints, it has been a little hard for me to get on board, but I have learned to love it, especially when stripes are involved.

Going to the Chapel!

I'm getting married in August of next year. Super exciting! Something that has been on my mind lately is SHOES. What shoes do I want to wear?! It seems to be a big trend right now to wear super cute shoes that are slightly hidden by your dress. Then, when you lift the bottom of the dress slightly, you get a fun surprise! I also love the pictures that showcase the shoes themselves, or with the wedding rings around the heel! I have been lusting after the Fendi shoes below, but the other night I walked past Kate Spade and saw the most adorable glittery pink shows in the window. Decisions, decisions!

OOTD: Naughty & Nice

These pants are amazing. They are faux leather but look and feel so real! Paired with this blouse from Zara which has adorable spike accents (hard to see), and pink pumps, I am loving my own fit! Lots of compliments at work so I guess I was doing something right!

Hats, Hats, Hats!

Hats are always a great accessory during the winter. A simple sweater, scarf, and hat always add a little something special to a winter outfit. I am currently obsessing over the polka dotted J. Crew hat below. Oh fianceeeeeee...Do I hear stocking stuffer?!

OOTD: Black and White with a Hint of Color

After a super stormy weekend, we finally got a break today. Not that I'm complaining, since I love the chance to wear my rain boots. I almost wore a skirt today, but when it's not raining, it is freezing, and I wasn't about to bare my winter white legs today! I feel like you can't go wrong with black and white and a hint of color, it always looks classic and cute.
