Get The Look
While I should be writing a research paper on transnational organizations (yawn), I figured it was much more fun to create a "get the look" post about my current style envy, Miranda Kerr. Enjoy!

Spring Couture 2013
January, the best time of year for fashion's finest. The 2013 couture shows happened within the last few days in Paris and I must say this time around was astonishingly beautiful. While I, along with millions of other fans, wish I was there to enjoy it in person, I was able to suffice with viewing it online at Style.com. The first thing I did this morning was turn on my computer to watch each artistic show. My boyfriend (men just don't understand) sits there confused as I hog the laptop until I have watched and inspected each look as it walks down the runway. Not only do I appreciate the aesthetic of each entertaining show, but the quality and craftsmanship in each equally as entertaining. Couture is so beautiful because of the time and dedication it takes to make each piece. So much work is put into each detail. The fabric, the buttons, the overall movement of each piece is so admirable. As if I haven't been drooling all day, here were a few of my favorites:
Chanel
Chanel is always my favorite! And no, not only because I work there but because Karl Lagerfeld is amazingly talented. This year's show was the perfect combination of femininity, romanticism and goth.
Giambattista Valli
The collection started with an eclectic interpretation of black and white with almost hard or jagged edges. By the end, the tulle came out and the flower motifs emerged in rather whimsical and innocent sort of way.
Dior
Dior also had that ultra-sleek, feminine theme this season. There was a great mix of neutrals, black and whites and pastels throughout the collection. There was a perfect amount of volume while still making all the pieces rather wearable.

Maroon and Silver
// Bodysuit: Bebe, Shorts: Bebe, Boots: Qupid, Coat: H&M, Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelets: Vintage//
Today's choice sums up my entire personal style in just one, easily put together look. Feminine meets hard. The girly lace bodysuit mixed with strong, badass combat booties. Neutral colors and metallics. The maroon of the textured lace and sheen of the silver shorts. Simple. Wearable. A thoughtful balance of contrast.
Happy almost Sunday everyone!

Red Lips, Pink Sneakers
//Jacket: Bebe, Crop Top: Nasty Gal, Jeans: Madewell, Sneakers: Jordans 6 Retro, Ring: Vintage//
I have always loved sneakers and must say I have a pretty decent collection. When I was younger I always felt weird wearing them and would only do so with sporty sweatshirts or when I worked out. Now I wear them with everything! Shorts, jeans, dresses, or red lips and a smile! I stick with the classic and love love love my Jordans!

After years of searching for a skincare regimen that works with my overly sensitive skin, I have found it! As mentioned previously in my lipstick post (here) I don't wear tons of makeup and do really prefer a natural look, besides my mass consumption of lipstick and layers of mascara! Low and behold! Origins has changed my life and fulfilled all my skincare hopes and dreams. They offer great products for any skin type (dry, oily, etc.) or any skin need (acne, anti-aging, etc.) For me, I love that it combines natural ingredients that doesn't break the bank. Try it for yourself! Visit a Origins store or find it at Macy's or Sephora.
