Style Post: Beyoncé

Social media is something else. Now, you can see about everything a celebrity does thanks to Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. We don't really need the Paparazi to give us the latest news. Honestly, if you go through social media, it's extremely easy to get access to celebrity news. When Beyoncé showed her pixie cut for the first time, it was through Instagram that she broke the news. North West, Kim and Kanyé's first born was photographed and shown to the world through Instagram.

I've noticed that a lot of celebrities that usually are guarded about their lives are now opening up through social media. Beyoncé again is a prime example. In the past she has been extremely private. Now she has her own Tumblr which she posts regularly and she actually uses her Instagram. She's even opening up through her wardrobe. It's a lot edgier than previous years and I actually do copy some of Beyoncé's outfits which I wouldn't have done years back. 

I love that she switched her hair up. The bob isn't original, but she rocks it well! I'm loving this side of Beyoncé.

Beyoncé is making motherhood look fashionable!

NYFW: Victoria Beckham 2014 Spring Collection

Who isn't in love with David Beckham? He is gorgeous! But as the expression goes, "Behind every good man is a great woman." Victoria Beckham has shown the world that she is that great woman behind David. They are truly a power couple! 

Victoria Beckham has done it again! Her Spring Collection wooed everyone present at her fashion show this week. I envy everyone that had the chance to glimpse at this collection. Victoria has proven herself in the fashion world and has created a name for herself a midst David Beckham.

       

Lucky spectators such as Anna Wintour and Rachel Zoe were present at the show in the front row. What captured my attention weren't these fashionistas, but supportive husband, David and little Harper. The photograph of David and his daughter supporting Victoria warmed my heart. How cute!

Two days ago Victoria was spotted wearing her favourite frock from this collection. I'm in love with this 1960's inspired dress.

Kudos Victoria!

Day to Night

I believe that your work attire should always look professional. But, if you want to look relaxed in the evening with friends or look casual for a date, here is an idea to switch your outfit from day to night.

Day- Wear a professional button up  with skinny’s that could be dressed up or dressed down… pants that are versatile. Finish the outfit off with “killer” heels.

                                                           Top: Forever 21

                                                            Pants: H&M

                                                                       Heels: Zara

Night- Add a vest or a leather jacket. Add loafers to the outfit and you’re ready to paint the town red.

                                                                Vest: Thrift Store
                                                                Loafers: GoJane

Show us your day to night outfit and hash tag purplelipstick and we will post your pictures!

Miley Cyrus Inspired OOTD

I decided to play dress up yesterday! My awesome friend who is killing the game with his videos came over from Atlanta, so I had to get him to do a video for me. We did a OOTD concept and he did an amazing job! He taught me a few things, so for upcoming videos I think I’ll be straight… well, let’s hope!

Check out my Miley Cyrus inspired OOTD!

Back to Basics: D.I.Y Skater Skirt and Jumper

    I've hid the fact that I can sew for many years. It's been so long since I've used a sewing machine that I forgot that I used to use one almost everyday in high school. I chose to take art courses in high school which allowed me to learn how to sew, paint, and draw. I didn't take much to drawing or painting back then, but sewing was second nature for me. I can't remember why I stopped sewing but I do know that I was a fool to stop. 

    I basically live on Youtube...so as I made my daily browse of random videos, I came across a tutorial on how to make a skater skirt.  While watching the d.i.y. guru cut her fabric and demonstrate how each piece should be sewn, it seemed so easy. I wasted no time, after watching the video I headed to my local Joann's Fabric and Hobby Lobby to buy fabric. I had so much fun making these two items, I hope you guys like them!

I chose a polka dot pattern for my skater skirt. I wanted something flirty and fun! Next time I'll go with a brighter color !

I love jumpers so I will be wearing this everywhere lol

Simple, not so LBD (Little Black Dress)

Hey peeps! So, I find that I enjoy wearing dresses in the summer...a lot. But who doesn't? They're essentially complete outfits with the option to accessorize, soooo convenient lol. With that being said, I found this dress while thrifting and it didn't feel right leaving it in the store. I so fell in love it's perfect fit and little train at the back. I love that it's an sightly edgier take on the classic Little Black Dress (LBD). 

Oh also, when bored...in the house...all summer, why not make something! Been dying to try my hand at making a DIY Flower crown, so pictured is my first attempt. 

All white everything.

 Even though summer is coming to an end and school is right around the corner, I feel like i'm finally on summer break. I was given a few vacation days from work and decided to dedicate myself, as much as possible that is, to the blog. I'm so grateful for Rachael and Jode-Leigh for holding done the blog while I was ghost! :) 

   So I think my style is changing. If I've had to describe my style in one word, I guess it would've been 'loud'. Matching was a 'no no' for me, I thought the more color the better! But these days I get a headache when I see too many colors or patterns put together. I think because I spent my summer in an office, where I couldn't wear anything too loud, kinda helped/forced me to change things up a bit. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I love matching! (my mom is very happy about this lol) I have no problem sticking to just one color for an entire outfit.

    Now don't get me wrong, even though I'm starting to shy away from anything too 'loud', I still enjoy seeing other people dress in a million colors with a million patterns! There are days when I want that extra pop of color or pattern, they just see fewer days than most now.
