Topshop Spring Makeup Preview

I haven't had the time nor the money to drastically change up my look with new clothing- so in the meantime I've resorted to playing with makeup. Makeup is as essential to an outfit as the right pair of shoes. Topshop's new campaign for their spring makeup line is inspirational and innovative. Whether it's subtle eyeliner or bold bright lips, your makeup has an impact. Have fun with it and don't be afraid to be noticed- all eyes are you... live it up.

Bigger is better especially when it comes to Charles Albert's collection. Visit here for more of this find. There are a ton of cool and unique pieces of jewelry that are simply jaw dropping.

Sass and Bide - Urban Warrior

What I love so much about this collection is unsurprisingly the bold color. The patterns, bright shoe colors and wild accessories (love the necklace) create the perfect aesthetic and design for this ready to wear fall collection. Not to mention it is a great new direction, far from the dark colors that usually prevail during these long, cold months.

Fear not, fabulous fashionistas: wear what you dare. Wear what you want. If you find yourself in front of the mirror thinking, "Is this too wild? Too mismatched? Too... much?" then it's time to seriously reconsider why you love fashion in the first place. Style isn't about following the rules or following others. It's about personality and individuality and our favorite icons didn't earn the title by playing it safe. So enjoy the weekend and when in doubt, fear not. You're fabulous.

❝ When I get dressed, I think of it as dress-up time, like the clothes are costume pieces. That’s why I like vintage - it has a story behind it. I’m not afraid of walking down the street in something that people think is crazy. What I can’t stand is looking like everybody else. ❞

DIY

I love the Glamourai's DIY version of this forever 21 dress. Kelly simply replaced the suede straps with gold chain's making this dress more glamorous. You can buy it here or follow Kelly's direction of simply turning any scarf into a chic dress here.
