Two Looks, Two Budgets feat. Golden Yellow!

I love H&M! No matter what your budget or style, you can always find something to suit both! (Oh and the fit of H&M clothing is impeccable!)

Here are two looks I created using H&M's fabulous website.

I started with the yellow skirt and paired it with a silky blouse and heels to dress it up. A wide belt to accentuate the waist and tasseled heels that give it an ethnic feel.

For an office look, try a pair of conservative pumps and maybe a jacket.

Be glam in a golden toned beaded tunic and a pair of sexy heels!

If the summer nights get a little chilly, pair this with some skinny jeans!

Well that was fun! =) 

Has anyone else created looks using H&M's website?

Makeup Look & OoTD -> Mad Men!

The inspiration for my look today is Joan Harris, a character on the AMC television series Mad Men. As Office Manager and resident "Queen Bee" the best way to describe her look is "pristine". 
Introducing Joan

Here are the products I used.

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation
Natural Collection loose powder
L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara
Revlon Liquid Liner
L'Oreal Lipstick in Pink Passion
Natural Collection Lipgloss in Turkish Delight

OoTD (Loving the 60's secretarial look!)

Black Bandeau dress from Forever21
Pink Sweater from H&M
A Single String of Pearls
Gold Buckle Black Belt from Primark
Black Heels by Anne Klein

What I love about Joan's look is that it carefully treads the line between poised and sexy. She always creates silhouettes that accentuate the female form without showing too much skin. Her style reaffirms the character's strongest traits, very much in control without being overly aggressive.

The look has an overall smooth complexion, natural eye with a slight wing tipped liner, and a bright pink lip.

Coordinating nail color in Sunrise Sensation by Colorama (Maybelline) completes the look.

While every hair is in place when Joan attends work functions, for more social occasions she lets her hair down.

Well that was fun. Hope you liked it! Bye! =)

Animal Print - Do or Don't?

(Photo from Marie Claire magazine November 2009)

I’ll admit I’ve never been a huge fan of animal prints. It’s so easy to over do it and end up looking tacky rather than chic! However a few pieces have slowly crept into my wardrobe and I LOVE them!

The bold black stripe at the bottom gives this dress a finished look that makes it perfect for work or after work drinks!

A black belt adds definition to my waist.

Club outfit from New Look!

Match it with a black or white jacket and leggings!

Dresses that double as shirts are always a great investment!

LOVE the sandals!

So what do you think? Is it a DO or DON'T?
