Sweet + Edgy

With Christmas gone and waving goodbye to 2012, I thought festivities would simmer down a bit in January...wrong! This weekend is one of my girlfriend's 26th birthday and she wants to go all out. And I mean all out. 

The wheels in my head started turning and I wanted to switch things up a bit. A little less Kim Kardashian 'sexy tight' and instead with sweet and girly plus some edgy accents.

Holiday Party Look

Holiday Party Outfit by pumps-lipstick featuring black pumps

'Tis the holiday season so you know what that means, holiday parties. For a glam holiday party, a draped dress in this beautiful gold tone is a perfect way to go. This Lanvin draped number is incredibly comfortable, effortless and there's no need to 'suck it in'. The Jeffrey Campbell spiked peep-toe heels add an unexpected punch of edge. The sleek patent leather clutch by Lulu Guinness brings the look together and seals the envelope with a gold kiss. The INPINK jewelry is the icing on the cake. The tassel lariat necklace and rhinestone stud earrings catch the light and enhances the gold tones. The bracelet's rhinestones and mixed toned beads add lots of sparkle. The three INPINK pieces collectively make a statement without taking over the entire look. A simple eye with winged eyeliner and dark lips vamp up the glam, evening style. Lastly, with a couple spritzes of Coco Mademoiselle perfume, you're done. No go make an entrance, doll!

Chanel Spring/Summer 2012 - Paris Fashion Week

I was completely blown away with Chanel's Spring 2012 show at Paris Fashion Week. As a sea lover, the underwater, aquatic themed runway set design spoke to my soul. Adding a wintery-wonder/fantasy land with the crisp white, coral, shells and bubbles completed the entire story along with the amazing collection. Plus, Florence Welch of Florence and the machine performed during the show. Mind you, she popped out of an oyster. Insane! Karl Lagerfeld is the shit.
