My Favorite Things 2012

I shopped like a maniac this year. I tried new trends. I tried new makeups and perfumes. 2012 was a good year of discovery for me. These are a few of my favorite things from 2012!
 
 
1). Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline Perfume my go to smell when im feeling sexy
2). Smashbox Oil free Photo Finish Primer (this stuff is the truth)
*4). Stila Fiery Liquid Lipstick (Dries Matte and stays on forever, the absolute bright red!)
5). Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with SPF (gentle on my skin and works!)
6). Maybelline Falsies Mascara (never need fake eyelashes with 2 coats of this!)
7). NARS Heatwave Matte Lipstick (orange lippy but not too orange see it here)
8). Essie Devils Advocate and Skirting the Issue Nail Polishes (Fall Fabs)
10). Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum (great after styling and decrease frizz)
11). Prada Candy Perfume (when I'm feeling flirty and it does smell like candy!)
12). Sephora Cream Waterproof Eye Shadow (I use it as a liner and for smoky eyes)
 
1). ASOS Feather Skirt (recent show stopping piece that I love! get similar HERE or HERE)
3). Zara leather sleeved jacket! (sold out but get similar HERE or HERE)
4). Zara red booties (these are total show stoppers and I get compliments every time I wear them)
5). ASOS Double Cross Ring (I've been wearing it nonstop since I got it!)
6). Steve Madden Madhouse Booties (again another great shoe that everyone loves and comfy!)
7). Skull Head Bracelet (I wear mine like everyday...adds edge to an arm party too)
8). Tom Ford Sunnies (got them on sale at Loehmanns! in heavy rotation!)
9). Canon T2i Camera (My BEST ELECTRONIC BUY of 2012 especially for this blog!)
10). Bowler Hats (especially when my hair was shorter I rocked this Jan-March!)
11). Wishbone Necklace (you've seen me wear one is every other post lol)
12). L.A.M.B. Mya in TAN and Black/Grey (rocked these bad boys all summer here and here)

the green dress

i picked up this great green dress during last september during NYFW from Urban Outfitters.
it's a light jersey material that doesn't wrinkle...perfect for this insane humid and hot weather. but i have a hair trick for humidity and its 2 items Arrojo frizz control while hair is wet and Garnier Fructis Style Sleek and Shine Anti Humidity Smoothing Milk (once you've styled). it doesn't matter if the humidity is 100% your hair will be flawless. (trust me)


Dress: Urban Outfitters | Shoes: L.A.M.B. Mirage | Bag: Vintage Coach
Bracelet: Forever 21 | Ring: ASOS | Lipstick: NARS Heat Wave
well there's not much to say except... double sided sticky tape is awesome. i am super amped about fashion week. its really one of my favorite holidays. dont get it twisted its not all glam and clothes...although it really is! last fashion week my feet hurt sooooooooooo bad. its a lot of standing in line and waiting to get into shows but its definitely an experience to sit front row in complete darkness...and feel the electricity in the room of everyone in anticipation. then the music blast the light is blinding white and then models come..and the clothes do too.
its an experience well worth my swelled feet!
Check out what i wore last NYFW Spring 12!
ps...YAY my September Issue of Elle arrived...please excuse me for the next hour!
GET THE LOOK

a little romper

continuing with the what to wear series...enter the romper. its perfect for a day date. you know...a walk through the park, coffee, a matinee show. its less dressy than the normal date dress but still casual and sexy in its own way. this is one of my favorite rompers from Top Shop. the last time I wore it was last year during New York Fashion Week.



Romper: Top Shop get similar here & here | Shoes: Sole Society | Bag: Sequoia via Loehmanns
Lipstick: Stila Fiery

the sleeves on this romper is what got me. that are like wings but slit down the middle. i paired it with my fav black strappy sandals {see them worn differently here and here) and my silver Sequoia handbag. this romper would definitely work for a day date!

flower bomb

when i came across this Talulah dress at the showroom full of Australian labels
i could barely contain my excitement.
its a blend of two hot trends: Florals and neons.


Dress: Talulah | Shoes: Forever 21 see them upclose HERE | Sunnies: Got at Brooklyn Flea Market
i thought I would go neon with the sunnies and lipstick as well. Lime Crime Makeup has some amazing opaque lip colors that are perfect for the season. an interesting lip color can instantly make an outfit more glam. p.s. these are my new favorite sunglasses.
have you experimented with different lip colors?
