Hairstyle: The Cut Life

I had been contemplating for a few months on my hair. I knew I loved my natural hair that is frequently blown out, but I knew I wanted some extra sass to myself. My first thought was a tapered curly fro. Now mind you I have not had a short cut since my shaved sides a few years ago. 

Well you know what the saying is "When a Woman cuts her hair, she is about to change her life" 

I've been craving change and betterment so I decided to chop my hair off, AGAIN! 

Now the initial style was a doozy to me. So I've been playing around with it a lot. Mind you short hair does require maintenance and upkeep. 

And, I have to get use to it. At first I wanted to drown in tears, thinking what did I just do?! But so far it's growing on me hour after hour... 

You like? What style have you been afraid to try? Or what style did you go for ? Let me know your thoughts ... 

Lipstick Style Alert: Bucket Handbag

Over the past few weeks one handbag that has been catching my attention has been The Bucket Handbag. It's trendy, chic and I love the strap for more comfort on those days where you are busy doing a lot of running around.



It seems that the colors are limitless when it comes this bag. Not only the color, but also you can purchase the bag in a variety of styles and prints.




I'm a fan of large handbags that usually you wear over the arm but sometimes the style can be annoying. So, when I can find comfort and chic mixed in one I AM ALL FOR IT HONEY!

This bag to me can be paired well with your favorite denim boyfriend jeans, a nice white chiffon top and your sexy heels all while out on the town for a lunch date with the boo or a shopping trip with the ladies.

Will you be adding this bag to your closet for Spring? Let me know....

What I'm Wearing: Faux Fur

Everyone that knows me can tell you that I have an addiction for faux fur. It's a very trendy statement piece that you can add to any outfit. When the weather is slightly chilly but not too cold for that thick pea coat, throw on your faux fur and rock out in style.

What I'm Wearing:  The boots are oldies from Just Fab. I purchased this vest from Target for $39.99. The dress is also from one of Target's designer collection collabs with Phillip Lim.

Can I just pause right there..... I freaking' LOOVVVEEEE when Targe' bring the designer collections.

Also, one major hair flip for my do'. I have been wearing my natural hair for some time now and it has been one of the best decisions. Although I have not wore too many styles in it's curly state, I love a mean blowout and my Instyler tool.

How do you love to style your faux fur?

Summer Style: Birkenstock Trend Sandal

The Birkenstock style is in full effect ladies. I know that I am not the only person who loves how fashionable they have created the Birkenstock trend to be this season. I can remember way back when it was just the regular pair usually created in one color, and now they are made in a variety of styles and patterns.

Let me just be honest here! Shopping in Target is my ultimate weakness, like I seriously think that I need intervention or a detox from the store. Okay, Okay so listen... I went in there one night for some odd reason, probably just to see what I can buy as always and I ran across the Sam&Libby sandal that resembled the Birkenstock. You see I never really thought about purchasing a pair of these before until watching Youtube Guru Vicky Logan Summer 2014 Lookbook: How to Style Birkenstocks and I fell in love with them, like Love at first sight.

I wear them every chance I get, Judge Me If you like. What are your thoughts on the style?

This is how I wore mine for a day at the Salon and relaxing with family :)

Top, Faux Croc Bag, Birkenstocks: Target
Jeans: Robins Jeans (Miami Boutique)
Polish Color: Ferrari Red

Such a late Wednesday post, excuse me but my days are very long sometimes! But my goal is to remain consistent no matter what. I want to bring more fashion photos to the site so that is in the plans, hang on with me! Lol. 

A little style goes a long way! How can one go wrong with Plaid and Riding Boots? I am loving this jacket I purchased not too long ago and it is just the right statement piece for any outfit. Since plaid is on the trending list it's perfect for fall wear. I have yet to go with the plaid button down trend but I plan on it. What plaid pieces have you wore lately?

Saturday Style : Shoedazzle

Its the weekend loves and Saturday Style is in full effect. I am an avid shoe lover just like most women. There are many shoe sites that you can sign up as a member for a monthly price and the stylists personalize a shoe boutique for you. On the sites there are perks such as credits, clearance & sales and more items like accessories and handbags. 

One of my favorites has to be Shoedazzle. There isn't a month that passes without me picking out a shoe whether it's a classic heel, funky style of some sort, or flat boots. I scored a free pair of black boots this month! Whoop! How awesome is that? The subscription price is not expensive, at $9.95 and you can always count on finding an amazing shoe whether for work or play. 

These are my 3 shoe picks for Saturday Style. Will you be purchasing any soon?

Lipstick Fashion Pick: The Feather Skirt

Hello Lipstick Loves! I decided to do a Fashion Pick of the Day. We are in the Festive Holiday Season where invites for Christmas parties, events and dinners are in full swing. In my town, there is not much happening and I don't get too dress up too often to even attend such gatherings but it is nice to play on website with the best dresses and skirts that will turn every eye and make you the spotlight of the room. 

My Fashion Pick of the day is the Feather Skirt. I'm in love with these skirts right now and they are definitely on trend. You can really dress the ensemble up. This skirt can be displayed as a full dress if you pair the right shirt with it such as a bodysuit or a form fitting top. The one I chose is the Michaela Marabou-Feather Skirt from BCBG MAXAZRIA priced at $268.00. Would you splurge or not? 

Lipstick & Love xoxo
