Pops of Green!

13 Jan

I’m back with an OOTD for ya’ll! I know you guys have been asking for more, so I’m trying to do more.  This was my comfy outfit that I wore to the Diane von Furstenberg exhibit this weekend. I knew I needed to wear flat boots because of all the walking I was planning on doing- I originally had a heel picked out but the flats worked out perfect! Outfit details below, all available items have links.

Diane von Furstenberg ‘Journey Of A Dress’ Exhibit!

13 Jan

This weekend marked a very special occasion in the fashion world. The iconic wrap dress created by Diane von Furstenberg celebrated its 40th anniversary! Furstenberg created the first dress with NO buttons or zippers and a very flattering fit as well, which has become a staple in women’s wardrobes around the world. I have and will always say that a woman’s best friend is a wrap dress! The ‘Journey of a dress’ exhibit -which opened to the public this weekend- pays homage to the designer and the dress that changed everything! The exhibit includes 200 mannequins clad in vintage and contemporary takes of the wrap dress. If you love DVF or fashion in general, you will love this exhibit!

“Journey of a Dress,”  runs from Jan. 11 to April 1.

Wilshire May Co. Building, 6767 Wilshire, Los Angeles.

10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday, Tuesday and Thursday; 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free!!!!!

Falling For These Flats!

7 Jan

How cute are these flats??!!!!! I saw them on Lulus.com and had to have them! They were only $23 which made it even sweeter, but as I clicked to buy them- SOLD OUT appeared on my computer screen. Noooooooooo! I was so sad. I quickly noted the brand and style name and began my hunt. I found them at Shiekh for even less- $19.99. Never give up ladies! Never give up!

Color Of The Year!!!!

1 Jan

Happy New Year!!!!!! 2013 was a phenomenal year! Before I get too into this post, I would first like to say thank you to everyone that has supported this blog of mine since the beginning. If you’re new to it, I also want to thank you for stopping by! I am so grateful to you all!!! XO- Journey

Every year Pantone also known as the authority on color announces the “color of the year” and this year it’s a lovely purplish/fuschia hue they call Radiant Orchid.

pcr pcr2

As with any trend, a great way to get involved is to start with makeup.  Everyone can afford a lipstick or a nail polish and it’s not as risky as wearing a dress or a coat in that hue if you’re not that into color. Below are some fun makeup products to shop that will get you right into this trend!

Side note: This color is flattering on all skin tones!

My favorite lipstick $4.99 I can’t get enough of this lipstick!

bb

Eyeliner $19 I own so many of these Urban Decay 24/7 eye liners and they are some of the BEST on the market. They really do last 24 hours and are highly pigmented.

ud

Shadow pot$19 While we’re on the subject of pigment, Urban Decay has the most pigmented shadows EVER! They are by far my favorite eyeshadow brand!

Shadow palette$8 Affordable alternative. NYX products provide great bang for your buck! I love their shadows and REALLY love all of their lip products!

Nail Polish$8   Not into”color” on your face? Rock it on your nails!!!!!
