I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday with your friends and family!

Today's outfit is a New Year's Eve inspired look. I love a classy all black outfit with a pop of a red to add a little glam. If you don't know what to wear or always have a hard time figuring out on what to wear to a New Year's Eve party, than play it safe with an all black ensemble with a pop of red or berry hue to add the perfect amount of colour. I recently wore this outfit to a Christmas party and I loved how it all came together.

**Tip**

If you are going to wear an all black dress or a black top and skirt paired with black heels, than choose a sheer black tight (like mine above). Solid black tights can sometimes look too harsh with all black and it's also nice to still see some skin while wearing tights.

TOP 10 LONG WEARING LIPSTICKS

Ok girls. Now a days, we want a lipstick/ lipgloss that has long staying power, that we don't have to keep re-applying throughout the day and also having no worries about applying a lip product more than once or twice a day. Right?
 

I have rounded up 10 long wearing lipsticks that you will want to have and keep in your bag at all times, whether its a bold colour or a nude lip.

 To remove long wearing shades:

Apply Vaseline or baby oil to the lips, letting it sit for just a few minutes. This will slowly breakdown the "stain" formula, making it much easier to remove rather than continuously rubbing your lips raw.

GIFTS FOR HER

In my opinion, it is so much easier to buy for my mom and my girlfriends than it is for the guys in my life. There are a tone of ideas that you can get her, even if she is the one that tends to have everything (we all have a friend or family member like that, let's be honest here). I created a gift guide below that should help you find the perfect gift idea for "her" and if not, well maybe you will find something for yourself.

Lately, I have been gravitating towards edgy looks, so I wanted to put together another outfit that you could re-create. A graphic tee is always a fun and perfect way to incorporate edginess to this specific look. Adding some black pumps, a leather jacket and of course a black crossbody bag, ties everything together to complete the overall look. Don't forget to add a bold lip. Everytime I decide to go for any edgy look, a bold lip is always a must.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

EDGY CHIC

From time to time I love to wear an edgy chic ensemble. I always feel great when I have a pair of faux leather leggings on, some heels and a bold lip. I feel sophisticated and confident and that is a great feeling to have when you are wearing a specific look. Every girl should feel confident when wearing any outfit but then there is that one look that makes you feel amazing and that is a wonderful feeling.

F.Y.I. The lighting in these pictures were not the best. These were taken on a really cloudy day, so if you are all wondering why my hair is so brassy, I promise it really isn't lol.

Sometimes it's nice to play around with different patterns and coordinate them together. I loved how the navy/white stripe long sleeve complimented with the blue and green plaid vest. By mixing with different prints and colours, it makes any outfit that much more interesting and fun.  I wanted to keep the leggings in the "rich tone" colour family, so I incorporated a berry legging and some dark brown combat boots as well as adding a purple bold lip to tie everything together.
