One of my favorite things about watching shows at Fashion Week was seeing the models’ hair and make-up.  The wind-swept styles were simple and sweet, while their lips were painted in vibrant shades of coral.  I don’t often stray from my normal make-up routine (which you can see here), but I love the pop of color Revlon’s ‘Strawberry Suede’ lipstick provides, especially when juxtaposed with a perfectly worn-in sweatshirt.

    This outfit is ridiculous. I don’t know who told you a hoodie, some type of high waisted skirt? and heels looked good paired together but they are completely wrong. The effect makes you look like you are on a walk of shame. Tone it down and stop trying so hard.

    10/10 for the shoes x

    I am a creature of habit when it comes to my make up routine too, but I guess that’s what makes it so fun to do a new lip color. I love this shade on you, it really makes your skin light up. And love the outfit :)

    That lip color looks perfect on you! I’ve always wanted to try red lips, and I’ve even purchased a lipstick I like. I just need to get the courage to wear it out!!

    Also, I love how you list where every item is from. It reminds me of “confessions of a shopaholic” where she lists everything. Just a thought. :)

    you look like a rock star…how was your visit to see your collaboration? ;)

  • http://www.lacoquetteboutique.ca/ Tamara

    I just found your blog and I’ll definitely be back. You have great style. And the red lipstick? Gorgeous. It looks so fresh.

  • Pau-Lynn

    I just want to tell you how inspiring your website is! I’m now so tempted to throw away my erm, Ikea bedside lamp to get “glamify” my bedroom! Also, I usually would walk away from Forever 21 after a sad encounter with a nice top which actually ended up with a few holes after several washes, but last week I decided to have a look at the jewelry section and I managed to snag a beautiful (and surprisingly cheap!) necklace.. (ok, I’ve also bought 4 other clothes too). I love how your website is so unpretentious and real, how you don’t just go on and on about the in thing of fashion but more of what’s wearable and doable..if you know what I mean! Anyway, looking forward to more new posts! Good luck with everything!

    I love how you put it all together… I would take that top and put it with jeans and boots, but you’ve just got so much personality going on. And you pull it off so beautifully.

    i wouldn’t have thought to pair all those things together but it totally works. love it all. and those heels are to die.

  • http://thelovelydove.blogspot.com Carissa

    that lipstick looks fantastic on you! I just bought a new shade a week ago and I’m kind of wishing I had bought this color instead! so fun and springy.
