Sunday Style [Christmas]

I've been thinking about Christmas Eve and Morning activities. Normally we go out to eat Christmas Eve with my immediate family and then go over to Grandma's for Christmas morning church and brunch. So for Day 11 of Christmas gifts, grab a gift for yourself! I think a great, comfortable dress is a staple in a wardrobe, in fact I have one for at least every day of the week, and these two are both versatile and fit the occasion.

A Little Holiday Sparkle

Currently loving the sequin trend going on right now, but since I have very little money to purchase a beautiful statement piece, I bought some sparkle nail polish to add a festive gleam to my outfits. Loving OPI Mad as a Hatter.


Also can't get enough of debbie lippmann's nude glitter polish- huge glitter chunks mixed with smaller pieces, yes please. 

Who is ready for holiday parties?

Style Crush [Grace]

With all of the early 1900 shows and movies coming out I find myself constantly surprised at the beauty of certain eras and how women represented themselves through clothing. Grace Kelly is one of the most beautiful women in my opinion. Her fashion and the way she carried herself was always as a lady and I find myself inspired by her sense of style lately. 





The museum of London currently has a few of her more famous outfits on display and a few designers have looked to her for inspiration, especially J. Mendel.

Who is your fashion inspiration?

New Trend [Relaxed]

Trend Alert: Braids and ponytails for fall

On the runway women's hair has a fresh new feel to it- it looks like they did it themselves. I appreciate the messy braids, low ponytails, and half-up dos that look like the models did it themselves before stepping out on the runway. The style is easily translatable to work or weekend and I'm looking forward to trying some new braid styles that I have seen lately on Pintrest.

 Messy, side braids are only one of the easy to do on your own hairstyles. A few loose pieces at the front softens the sometimes harshness of pulling your hair directly back.

 So understated and classy, easy to pull off this sleek work ready look.

 Soft chignons are always in style. This look adds a bit of just-got-pulled-back style by keeping the bangs free.

 The deep side part is still in fashion with the longer, grown out, side swept bang. Soft curls can easily take this hairstyle from the office to the bar after work for a sleek but sexy look. 

Half-up/half-down looks easy and breezy with soft curls and a center part. If your hair is like mine and lacks volume around your crown this is a great hairstyle to give a little oomph to your hair for the day.

What hairstyles are you rocking this Fall?

Style Crush [Emma]

Emma Watson is beautiful, amazing, and smart. I have done a previous post about her, but I can't get enough lately. I'm excited to see what she does next: her new hair, starting college, and seemingly new-found confidence is becoming on her. 




Devine.

These just look like fun!

New Addction

I'm currently obsessed with the new show Pan Am. I have missed Christina Ricci and all of the other actresses are beautiful and carry the era well. Again, period costumes are well done and simply beautiful to look at.



New Sunday night show. Something to look forward to before my Monday.

Playing Marilyn

Michelle Williams makes a beautiful Marilyn Monroe. I'm excited for her new movie to come out- the costumes alone look like they will provide 2 hours of gorgeousness to look at. 



She did a beautiful spread for this month's Vogue that is worth reading.I think Michelle might inspire some costumes come this Halloween.
