Shine On

Liquid wearable metal is on fire right now. From runways to the streets, metallics are shining bright and making a statement. 

Release your inner bronze, silver, or gold goddess. Because everyone knows that shine screams confidence! 

Have no fear - mixing metals is A-okay! In fact, it's encouraged in order to create a unique and show-stopping look. Layer on the shine!

Sparkle and shine is no longer restricted to New Year's Eve and Christmas. Metallics of all shapes and sizes are completely socially acceptable and dare I say classy? 

Sophisticated shine is making a huge splash this season, whether that be in the form of sequence, glitter, or metallics. This look is eye-catching and glamorous. Opt for a dress option at night while rocking a sequence tank with jeans and a blazer by day. 

Minty Leopard

 Good news for all you pastel-loving fashionistas: dreamy hues like lavender and mint are here to stay. All. Winter. Long. 

Pair neutral accessories with your brighter pieces in order to make them fall & winter appropriate. 

Adding a touch of leopard is always classy, sophisticated, and timeless. Leopard is a wonderful pattern to compliment your pastels - especially when the temperatures drop! 

Gold accessories add an overall warmth to your entire look. Try experimenting with warm metallic nail polishes too!

Mint & leopard, what a glorious pair. It's a combo that can easily transition your outfit from a day at the office to a night on the town. Leopard adds attitude and style while mint sits pretty and provides an overall freshness and youth to your ensemble. 

I love that by adding a few neutral accessories, some gold tones here and there, and pops of leopard, mint is suddenly the new 'it' color of fall. Yes my friends, it is that easy!

A New Kind Of Chic

Remember back in elementary school when glasses were for nerds? Well my friends, the times have changed and now nerdy chic is the new chic!  

As soon as I was old enough for contacts I jumped for joy and immediately took the opportunity to leave my four-eyes days behind. But glasses have come so far since then, and recently they've become the essential accessory for a quirky and flirty look. 

I am absolutely in love with my new glasses courtesy of Firmoo - they made me realize for myself that glasses can be worn in style...and should be. 

 The above pair is what you see me wearing in my pictures (#CP6061). I love the versatility of these glasses and how they truly make a statement. The bold thick frames speak volumes about the confidence of the wearer. 

 These are other pairs of Firmoo glasses that I find fashionable and stylish. Nothing's wrong with having a pair of glasses to match every mood!
