Getting Frosted

The Fashion Forecast is calling for a return of frosted lipstick for Fall.

I used Julep's Skip The Brush in Golden Guava with Desert Rose layered over. I lined with Avon's lip liner in Chocolate. I think if you don't go over the top frosted it is very wearable. Key is to keep the eyes neutral. What trend will you be trying this Fall?

Look Like A Lady

Many of the runway looks shown in Feb. heralded a return to lady like looks reminiscent of the 1950's and "Mad Men" (gosh, it is so weird to think of Fall Fashions when it is SPRING!) One runway designer that I just can't get out of my head is Louis Vuitton(click for full collection). Those circle skirts and bodice-styled tops, oh my!



Don't forget your gloves and an impeccably styled bag



A jacket and skirt is a very lady-like option



I believe if I start now I may be able to make some circle skirts by Fall and I have added leather gloves to my must have list. I adore that tobacco brown colour, but the grey is nice too! I have a couple nice jackets already that will do very nicely and my new Miche bags are just perfect so I think that it will take very little to pull this look off for much, much less. Let's say for a song?

Friday Finds March 26th- Twisted Alice!

Inspired by the Twisted Wonderland Collection at F21 I shopped my closet to make my own Twisted Alice look for an outing to see the movie!

• Cardi-Forever 21
• Blouse-Target
• Corset-Forever 21
• Skirt-Kohl's
• Crinoline-Frederick's of Hollywood
• Shoes-Madden Girl via Famous Footwear

Later, when it got chilly I wore my new red trench coat I bought at Costco. Just the thing for hiding in the forest from the fruminous bandersnatch!



Or maybe that's the Cheshire Cat?

Whatever it is, the movie was fantastic and now I will be dreaming of more Alice inspired outfits. I do hope believe that if I get that census job my pay checks will be spent on lots of yummy clothes! BTW, if you have a Betsy Johnson store near you, check it out! The one at the Ontario Mills Mall was having a 40% off sale and all the clothes were already marked down on top of that. I saw many pieces that would fit perfectly into an Alice wardrobe. I nearly cried to have to walk out empty handed, so GO THERE if you have a chance.

Out on a Romp-er

This Spring the trend is for rompers. Rompers? I haven't worn a romper since 1987. I really am not sure if this is the style for me. So I have been scouting out the online stores for what there is and here is what I have found.

Out for a Romp-er by Peldyn featuring Forever21

Items in this set:
Rose Print Romper, $26
Forever21.com - Bottoms - 2072996208, $23
Forever21.com - Bottoms - Shorts - 2072885913, $23
Shop romper - Anthropologie.com, $120
Shop romper - Anthropologie.com, $58

Some of these are seriously cute, but I am not sure if I would look like mutton dressed as lamb in them. What do you think. Are rompers just for the kids, or do you think us older ladies could pull them off?
