LIP SERVICE

ph: Le 21me Arrondissement | BellaSugar | Glamour | Wall Street Journal | PaperBlog | MAC | Clothes Over Carbs

First the neon eyes + now the statement lips! I'm slowly building up the confidence to try this out. I only use chapstick + haven't really worn lipstick since high school, so this would be a big jump. I keep buying bright shades, but haven't tried them out in public yet. The trick is wearing it with just a bit of mascara + nothing else. Here are some I've been testing...

+ NARS Lipstick in 'Heat Wave'
+ Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in 'Le Fuchsia'
+ NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in 'Carthage'
+ Bobbi Brown Lip Color in 'Neon Pink'
+ NARS Lipstick in 'Schiap'

PROENZA SCHOULER PS11 DREAMS

TEAL | SEPIA PYTHON | TEXTURED NAVY | TANGERINE

Drool... The Proenza Schouler PS11 is my favorite bag at the moment.
I wear my black one every day, but now I've got my eyes on these bright beauties ♡

NAVY SHIMMER

ph: my own

Finally got my hands on this 3.1 Phillip Lim sequin vest! It's perfect for the navy kick I've been on lately and an easy piece to dress up or down, which I love. Again, I have to thank the eBay gods- in particular Ann's Dallas-based eBay store Willow-Wear! Ann has an excellent eye, so the store is always filled with AMAZE pieces like this neon pink Christopher Kane dress! Swoon!

Not only does Willow-Wear have a great selection, but a great story behind it read here. Ann has become one of the most trusted consignment sellers on eBay and can help sell your unwanted designer goodies, giving you the funds to put towards what you're coveting now. Get more details and check out what else is in store here.

ps- I styled the vest with a T by Alexander Wang Shirt, Karen Zambos Vintage Couture Denim, Alexander Wang Joan Pumps, Prism Paris Sunglasses + a Proenza Schouler PS1 zip case.

ART LOVE

Um can someone please buy me this painting?! Love!
It has me itching to start painting again. I was an art major in undergrad + used to paint 24/7, but I haven't touched a brush since graduating- so lame! I'm determined to get back into it.
Any other fashion artists out there that you guys recommend?
