Champagne for Breakfast!

 

 

 

 

Welcome back Beauties!  I saw this fantastic sweatshirt from Charlotte Russe on Instagram and thought it would be great to create an OOTD showcasing my own taste and style!  Being a Mom, I like fabulous pieces but throwing a casual feel with it.  I'm also a Southern Gal who loves her Keds, and these matched PERFECTLY with this sweatshirt!  In some light the sweatshirt looks more aqua blue, in other light it comes off more like a Tiffany blue, which is a blue I need in my life! 

 

The dark wash denim I paired with this top I found at Wal-mart, and they were under $15!  They're super comfortable and stretchy which, again, for a Mom on the go, is a PLUS!  They're more like jeggings, and I have them in 3 washes - Light wash, Dark wash, and Black.  All of which, are necessities! (in my book)

 

My bag is from JustFab, however it is no longer available.  If you are not a member of JustFab, try it!!  It's FREE to join, and when you sign up, you fill out a style profile which is how your options are chosen each month!  You can skip a month, if you wish, however you can also purchase at any time!  Majority of the items are $39.95, however they have more "luxury" items, which can differ in price.  You have until the 5th of each month to skip and opt out of making a purchase.  If you don't, you are charged $39.95, and you receive a credit, which you can use to choose an item at a later date!  Easy peasy!

 

AAAND if things couldn't get better ;)) my shoes have glittery shoe-strings!! EEE!!  Ha-ha

 

I hope you enjoyed this OOTD!!  Stay tuned for more outfit features!

 

Take care, and until next time, remember to leave a trail of glitter!

Fun with Fashion!

Scarf: Cotton On; White sequin Tee: Old Navy (old)

Watch: Amazon; Matte Black link bracelet: Forever21; 

Gold Pave bracelet: Target

 

Hey Beauties!  I'm back sharing all the details from this look I wore the other day, and the pics above I posted on my Instagram (TheeGlitterBee), and also shared on my Twitter and FB page!  Btw, if you're not following me yet, make sure you check me out and FOLLOW!!

 

Anywho, I am O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D with gold right now, and I just adore black and gold together.  I feel it is so polished and sophisticated, but also extremely trendy and makes a HUGE fashion statement, all while remaining low-key ;))

 

The scarf listed in the first pic shown here is from Cotton On.  I do not see it on their website for me to share with you, however I did find it in their stores, AAAND it was only $5!?!  It's the perfect length, so you can wear it so many different ways!  I feel the shorter the scarf, the less you can do with it and I generally prefer the longer scarves - more versatile in styling and wearable!  The scarf is extremely soft and has minimal "fringe" which keeps it a clean look, however what is there adds to the boldness of the print.

 

Of course, I'm drawn to ANYTHING leopard print so when I saw this, it was a MUST HAVE in my scarf collection!  Make sure you check out Cotton On, if you have one local to you!

 

Now, on to the jewels of the day:  these items are all still showing available AND you can find them on each website!  The watch itself was only $7 and it has a soft, silicone feel band, which I know some don't like.  I, personally do not mind it, and absolutely LOVE it!!  The bracelet I HAD to have when I saw it, and I actually found mine in-store.  The matte black mixed with the shine of the gold is PERFECTION!!  Again, only $5, Ladies :))  This gold pave bracelet is an exact replica for the one from J. Crew but this one from Target is only $19.99 compared to $125!?  For a Fashionista on a budget (in reality, who isn't??) this is a STEAL!

 

I am probably a bracelet hoarder, but I just can't help myself when it comes to fantastic pieces that can take the most simple of outfits and make it Fabulous!

 

I hope you enjoyed my sharing of the wealth, so to speak, and keep checking in for more fabulousness!

 

Until next time, remember to leave a trail of glitter ;))

Neon P!nk

Hello Beauties!  It's Thursday, and I can just feel Friday!!  Tomorrow will be here before we know it *sigh*, any who, thanks for stopping back by to check out the details of today's look :))  I wasn't sure what I was going to do this morning when I was in the process of putting my face on buhhcuzz I woke up later than I wanted so I didn't have as much time to get all kinds of cray-cray with my eyes.  (That's what takes the longest to do)

When applying my face, I do my foundation, concealer and powder set before doing anything else.  So I'm at least THAT much done - make sense??  I wound up using my NYX Butt Naked palette for the eyes so I could work the bright pink on my lips!  I also used my MAC Viva Glam Nicki lipstick, when I was actually looking for my Wet N Wild Pinkerbell lippie, however could not find it :(( all in all, it worked out FABULOUSLY, because I haven't used my Nicki lippie in a while and I love the way this turned out.  For a gloss on top of the Nicki I use NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Golden Pink which wound up blending into the Nicki perfectly!  Since Nicki has a yellow undertone, the golden shimmer in the NYX gloss matched well ;))

My pink top is actually from VS Pink from last year, I believe and once again - repeat offenders - my sandals from Target!  They hurt my feet when I first wore them, but I had to break them in.  So once I did, they're UBER comfy!!  My black capris are from Express and I got them Y-E-A-R-S ago.  I will tell you, my pants or bottoms like these (for work, in other words), last me forever!  I can't tell you the last time I invested in dress pants/slacks?  And Express is the first place I would recommend for career wear when it comes to dress pants.  They last F-O-R-E-V-E-R - so the price tag is totally worth it if you're going to be able to wear them for 5-10 years PLUS.  Just a heads up for those of you maybe looking to get some nice bottoms for work, or just for whenever :))

FYI - you can still purchase MAC Viva Glam Nicki on their website and I will include the link for you, in case you're interested and haven't scooped one up for yourself yet!  It's gorgeous and I just love it!  As I do ALL of my MAC lippies (they also have a chocolate scent to them!!)

LOTD 07-17-13 Happy Humpday ALSO my Husband's Birthday!!

Hello Beauties!  Welcome back for another post with details from today's look!  Today is my husband's birthday and one of his favorite colors is RED, so I broke out some fabulous red finds I have acquired and just love how everything turned out! 

The makeup today I am TOTALLY in love with!!  Another Target find from last night, I used my new Sonia Kashuk Eye on Glamour palette, which is FILLED with glittery goodness!!  All the shadows but 2 are glitter shadows.  Some pigmentation could be better, but the rest is great!  The $19.99 price tag might be a bit much, esp since some of the shadow quality isn't the greatest - so in case you're interested, you can check out this palette at your local Target stores.  The pro's outweigh the con's and I would suggest grabbing the palette if you love glitter as much as I do!

Another highlight of my look today is my red lippie, courtesy of the new Milani Cosmetics colorstatement lipstick (the one in the gold packaging) in 07 Best Red.  These lipsticks are ALL over the beauty community and constantly raved about.  I've lost count of how many I've collected, and they are TOTALLY worth picking up if you haven't done so yet!  This lippie is a matte red, which I didn't know it was matte when I put it on, however I'm fine with it.  I debated topping it off with a gloss but decided against it, and loved how classic the look turned out.  These lipsticks can be found all over the place: Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart, Target...

The red sequin top, which is a tank, actually I purchased from Express last year, and it's one of those pieces I kind of forget about but then when I'm wearing it I'm like "WHY did I ever forget you??" it's fabulous b/c of the sequins and I just love the deep red color.

Now let me speak of this fantastic skater skirt I found at Target - anything leopard, I'm automatically drawn to it.  So all I saw was leopard print and I just, out of instinct, GRABBED IT!  My daughter was in the cart eating her popcorn and I said "what print is this??" and she answered "our favorite print; LEOPARD!"  Ha-ha, she's a fashionista in training, y'all!  This skirt was $19.99, and totally worth it!  It's the most comfortable skirt ever!  And I finished the look off with these black sandals that I've put on repeat for the past 2 months!  Wound up getting them in white too!  Another Target find ;))

Thank you guys for taking the time out with me today and I hope you guys are having a FABB day!

Remember to leave a trail of glitter ;))

MINTY Fresh OOTD

Happy Tuesday Lovelies!  I wanted to share today's OOTD, FOTD, and ACOTD - even though it is October now, I am feeling this MINT trend and was wanting to share my version I went with for today :))

The sweater is from Forever21 and is rather light-weight.  Living in FL we really don't have the need for heavy sweaters but I do work in an office and it gets chilly - or rather I STAY chilly!  Ha-ha so I could pull this off in the office.

I hope you all enjoy!

Until next time, TAKE CARE!!

Today's OOTD, LOTD, EOTD - Wheww!!

Welcome back Lovelies!  Today I am going to share with you the look Imma "rockin"...with this weather we've got goin down here in FL, I felt the need to wear my boots.  Rain, rain, oh!  And some more rain!  Back to my boots - I LOVEEEE them, and those who know me, know I love my boots!!  (my daughter rocks 'em too!  Her own version, of course)

Anyway, PLUS you'll notice I've got the green thang going again - now, this is NOT on purpose as green isn't one of my favy colors but it's just something I've been leaning towards the last couple days.  Today was actually an accidental find.  I need to do laundry and am running out of clothes...as if that's possible!

And PUH-LEASE don't mind the hair do, I just had it trimmed but feel it was left too long on my crown, so luckily I've got an appt this Saturday to get that fixed!! 

Makeup today is another green look - I used my Maybelline EYESTUDIO shadow palette in Forest Fury - I love how shimmery the colors are in this palette!  I purchased this from CVS or Walgreens back around St. Patty's Day, and I believe you can still find it, if you wish.

On the lips is my MAC Lipglass Lady Gaga Viva Glam 2, which I just place over concealer on my lips.  I love this shade - it's a perfect neutral - more on the brownish side with some shimmer, but you want to keep your lips neutral when doing such a bold eye.  It's a nice balance.  Now, don't get me wrong!  I sometimes play up both my eyes and the lips - depends on my mood, plus the look I'm going for :)) 

I will include photos as well...
