Look of the Day: Patriotic

Happy Fourth of July to my American readers!! I may not be American by birth, but I am at heart. The U.S.A. has been my adopted country for the past several years, and I am forever grateful for everything it has given me, starting with the love of my life!! (Yes, he is American).

Of course given the occasion, I couldn’t missed the opportunity to dress accordingly. Today’s look might be missing the touch of blue, but I think stripes and sparkle are a good enough nod to the ultimate American symbol, the American flag.

And now, if you’ll excuse me I gotta go find just the right spot to watch the fireworks.

Look of the Day: Beach Wedding

Finally I get a chance to show you the look I wore Saturday night to a beach wedding in Mexico. I went for an of-the-moment nude dress since I had been dying for an opportunity to wear one. I was torn between wearing it with nude heels or black heels because I had decided to add a black belt to the ensemble, but ended up going for the nude choice, the lighter color felt more beach appropriate.
Now, one of my favorite things about this look is my hair and makeup. The wedding was nearby my hometown and I have been going to the same stylist there for over 10 years. She’s absolutely brilliant, seriously Hollywood stylists got nothing on her. We decided to do a deep red, almost burgundy, lip color, which I adored so much I ended up buying it on the spot. And the hair, a side updo with retro waves, I loved just as much.
So, what do you think of the dramatic lip, will you be wearing darker lips this season?
