Handbags Are A Girls Bestfriend…

Hey fab readers! We all know that handbags can often times be just the  accessory a girl needs to take her outfit to the next level. Just thinking about all the designers that we LOVE and how deep they tear into our wallets can also make a girl cry (tissue please)! How about saving a hundred bucks or more on your designer bag? I mean every little bit helps right?! Snagging a designer back for a few hundred less than value is great..especially when you know it’s the REAL thing and not some run of the mill knock off that you can buy from any random corner in L.A. (something that we can’t stand). Check out some of your fav looks from some top designers, such as Fendi, Gucci, Furla, the list goes on. Check out BLUEFLY for handbags and other clothing & accessories. You’re sure to find something here to that tickles of fancy. ENJOY!

Get Made Up in Makeup 4 Less

Hey fab readers! We were just surfing the web doing what we do best…looking for frugal deals…and we found one. Thanks to the fab ones over at bh Cosmetics. It’s a left over sale from Cyber Monday that has been extended for the rest of today. We are always playing with makeup and looking for more ways to fine tune our day and night looks (which is a process since our mother never gave us those initial makeup lessons…mother daughter moments that we’ll never get back). So in our quest to become more familiar with the beauty and fun that is makeup, we like to do so on a budget. No use in us dropping down some serious cash for a look or a color that may or may not work for us. I’m glad we ran across this sale because they have much to offer for low tag that we so adore. Here’s to bh Cosmetics for the fab find! Click here to do some browsing and pick up some of those colors that you’ve been wanting to try but didn’t want to make a big investment in.

DIY: Ombre Nails with Glitter (without sponge)

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Hey fab readers so we know that Monday can be a bit of a drab, so why not start the week with a bit of sparkle and glam.  So this weekend I spent Saturday night deep conditioning my hair and giving myself a mani and pedi. While I love being pampered at the salon as much as the next woman I feel like sometimes you give yourself more attention to detail than others (plus I LOVE DIY projects). I decided to try out the ombre nail trend and added glitter for a dramatic effect. Continue reading

Outfit of the Day: How to Mix Patterns and Layers for the Office

Hey fab readers its Keedra here just giving you all a quick look at what I wore to work last week. As many of you all know working in a corporate environment can be rather bland when it comes to dressing (especially if they have a strict dress code). However, every now and then I like to incorporate trends at work. I personally love mixing patterns and texture (i.e. Solange) but it can be tricky wearing this look at work. The key to it is to be subtle and incorporate colors that bring it together (in this case it was the sweater that toned it down and brought it together making it work appropriate). Also, with the weather finally cooling off its finally time to start layering!! To avoid bulking up try layering thin pieces to keep you warm without adding extra inches to your look.  This was by far my fave outfit of the week and made my day somewhat bearable. Let me know what trends you like to wear at work…give me some workweek inspiration 🙂

Current Winter Obsessions: Elbow Length Leather Gloves and Faux Fur Snood

Hey fab reader we are still recovering from the Black Friday Madness however we figured  that this would be the perfect opportunity to share a few things on our Christmas list to Santa. So guys everyone knows that we are a big fan of opulence (especially Keedra!!!).  Sequins during the day, fur in the grocery store glitter on the nails just because and all thinks animal print are all things that we love. So it should come as no surprise that we are OBSESSED with elbow length glove for  fall/winter. They are chic for fall nights worn over long sleeves or with capes and instantly glam up any look.  While these gloves can be pretty pricy we found a pair at amazon that fit the bill for only $45.99. Check out how one of our fave bloggers Nini Nygun rocks them (definitely fabulously chic…not so cheap).

 

The second obsession is a faux fur snood. This is a classic timeless piece that instantly elevates any look. We found a great one at asos.com that features a slouchy tonal design which gives it a more modern look. This faux fur snood is $38.70 online and comes in 2 colors. Hopefully Santa leaves these two treats under the tree for us …Let us know what some of your obsessions are for this holiday season
