I May Be Young, but #imREDy

Here's the deal: I used to have this crazy lipstick phobia period. 
I didn't care what shade it was, I wasn't wearing it, especially if it was red! UGH! You couldn't pay me to wear red (well, maybe you could of, but I wouldn't know anymore) I absolutely abhorred lipstick because I hated my mouth/lips and felt there was no need to accentuate a part of me that I disliked. These days... I'm over hating my mouth. I'm getting old and my lips aren't going anywhere, so I gave up hating it! 
Now, I'm obsessed with lipstick, especially red lipstick! 
I went through a phase wear I found myself in the MAC store like everyday.
I've ventured into nudes, pinks, berries, plums, etc.  My all time favorite is Ruby Woo :) I gotta say though, they all look BOMB on me! lol 
In fact, one of my favorite blogger friends, Naseya of The Seventh District, launched a campaign this month called #ImREDy!
It's started out as a social experiment encouraging women to wear red lipstick that makes them feel the most feminine! (It doesn't really have to be red, but any variation of the color like fuchsia, berry, etc.) The campaign turned into an entire women's empowerment initiative! WhoooHooo

You can also participate by changing your social network profile pictures to a photo of you wearing your favorite shade of red lipstick! Join the campaign by applying the #imREDy hashtag to your tweets on Twitter!
Here are some pics of me in my #imREDy looks!

Sweet Summer

I hope everyone had or is having a fabulous Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah!

Truth be told, I'm ready for a new year! A new year means another spring/summer season, longer nights, more resolutions I won't keep, beach trips, exotic vacations (not really), mischief, less clothes, etc.
Speaking of less clothes, I've been dreaming of Vera Wang's spring/summer 2012 collection since it debuted on the runway this past September. I can't wait to wear everything (in my dreams)! The reality is I can't afford her clothing yet, but I'm sure Zara, H&M, and the likes will have great variations.... 
Ah, yes, sweet Summer!
The reality is we haven't seen a drop of snow yet, which could mean a longer winter??? Ugh, my theories sometimes make me sick. Anyway, enjoy these wonderful looks in the meantime, and hope I'm wrong...

Bloomy's for Blogger's Night Out

Blooomingdale's hosted a Blogger's Night Out event at its Chevy Chase location this past Wednesday.
It was a cool night of holiday shopping, networking and fun! There were a few contests (of course, I didn't win) that allowed for free giveaways of J brand jeans, $100 gift cards, etc. BUT, I was able to get a gift bag! I gotta say... our gift bags from A Night of Style trumped this department store's! lol
Anywho, I had a great time and got to see some of my favorite bloggers again! Oh, and I met some really cool, new people too. I especially enjoyed learning about a new Iphone app that basically acts as a closet manager since it organizes pieces in your very own wardrobe! I've heard of other apps like this before, but I was never sold on the idea until one of the creator's behind it took the time to educate me. It's called Stylebook, and I'm in love with it! You can read more about it when you scroll through the pics! 


blouse: thrifted
pants: vintage
shoes: Marc Jacobs 

Bloomingdale's displayed a plethora of holiday must have items. It was a sweet mix of treats for any and everybody. 

One of the creators of Stylebook, Jess Moore (L) and Ica of Ica Images.
I adored these ladies' burst of color for the fall paired with neutral heels! Ica's color selection for her color blocking look is soo cute! 


Jeritta of Glam Soup

Jennifer of Comme Coco


Emily Kate Hargrove of EKH Capitol Style (L) and Katherine Ntiamoah of Healthy Glow

These are such great clutches, especially for the holidays! 

Read all about it when you click the link! It's freaking awesome. And the app will eventually have about 7,000 retail stores at your fingertips when it comes time to enhance your wardrobe or make a wish wardrobe! I can secretly shop (bookmark pieces I want from each store) while creating look,m at the same time! How cool is that?

The duo behind Stylebook!
