New Year's Eve Outfit Lookbook

Femme

She moves through the party as shimmering ray of light. Her chandelier earrings toss glints as she laughs. Delicate gold heels on her feet. Champagne flute lifted to her lips, eyes flick down the smoky plum color surrounding her flashing eye. Entrancing him.

Velvet

She is part of the night around her. Draped in midnight velvet that flashes with glittering stars. She arrives alone and is powerful enough to understand the strength in that. Her laughter is as smoky as the whiskey she drinks. Captivating a crowd is all is a nights work for her.

Sparkle

She is the popular girl. She knows everyone and everyone knows her. Her clothes are as sparkling as her wit and charm. On the dance floor all night she stands out from the crowd in her tee shirt and boots. At midnight her tee shirt is a cheeky reminder. Her skirt flares and glitters as she spins, the lights radiate from and around her.

Starlet

She is on the hunt. Love, fame and wealth are a drumbeat in her head. She moves through the party as a lioness through the Savannah. Her body-con dress and sky high heels are her weapons. Her smoky eyes and nude lip her camouflage.

Black Heels | Guess | Marshalls

Burlesque

She is the life of the party. Laughter bubbles out of her like champagne from a bottle. Her head is always dreaming of times past. Shorts suit her because you never know what she'll do. Either throwing a football in the snow or doing the jive, she'll be covered. From her style to her smile she is one of a kind.

Halloween Costume Ideas: 40's/50s Madmen Inspired Halloween Costume/Makeup/Hair How-to!

Hey Everyone,

It's October! And in the USA that means Fall and...Halloween! I'm not typically a huge fan of the day -candy bingeing and petty vandalism seem to be the name of the game where I'm from and I'm not into either.

However, I decided to focus on my favorite parts of the season; pumpkins, Fall fashion, glitter decorations, warm drinks, football, comfort food and of course, dressing up!
I haven't done anything fun for Halloween in years, but I've always loved making my own costumes, so I thought what better time than now to do some videos on it! My goal was to make use of things I already had on hand as much as possible and to spend less than $10 on any costume for additional items. So far I've stayed within that and I have already come up with 5 costume ideas!
 Now you might not have these items in your wardrobe, but you may have something similar. I hope this helps to give you some ideas!
 And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. If you wanted you could even send me a list of what you have on hand and I could try to help you come up with a costume or you could tell me what you wanted to go as and I can try to help you think of an inexpensive way to make it happen - I love to help!!

Best wishes,

Elisabeth <3 & :)
