Style Inspo: DSquared2

I was researching a DSquared2 shirt for one of my IG followers and started roaming through all of the dope pieces from their line. I have been so bored with certain looks lately until I started looking at all this EYE CANDY from DSquared2.

Lippies: "Stone" by MAC

You guys know I am never one to be selfish! As soon as I see something (and fall in love with it) I come on here and spill the tea! About two weeks ago I saw Draya from Basketball Wives LA post a picture on Instagram. 

I almost fainted when I saw the color on her lips. She, like me, spread the love and told everyone it was "Stone" by MAC. I jumped right on and ordered it.

I am utterly convinced there is a little sprinkle of heaven in this tube of lipstick! Every time I put it on I get a ton of compliments and questions! Stone is the perfect mix between brown and gray (in my opinion). Some people would call the color taupe. FYI the picture above does this beauty NOOOOOO justice at ALL!! Even thought this color is matte the color is luxurious. The Stone Lipliner has been a little hard for me to get my hands on but believe me I am searching!! 

This beauty retails for $17.00 on the MAC website. This is going to be my staple for the fall and winter months.

Soles of the Day: MissGuided "Tassel Detail Barely There Heeled Sandals Cobalt Blue"

I meant to write this blogpost  yesterday but was a little busy with my Sunday duties. First let me say this I cannot wear heels for 6-8 weeks due to an Achilles injury (DO NOT ASK BECAUSE I AM BEYOND DEVASTATED).  I am stuck in Birkenstocks and cute supportive flats for the rest of the summer.

Sunday I was searching through IG and saw these beauties on MissGuided IG page. Everyone remembers this spring/summer sensation Aquazzaura Wild Thing Heels that retailed for a $785 and was sold out everywhere. I couldn't justify spending that amount of money on a shoe I cannot wear year long (but to each is own). 

Yes I know what you are about to say "this is SOOOOOOOO a dupe of the Wild Things Heels"! But so what! They are dope! You cannot go wrong with cobalt blue. I love anything that can be worn for multiple occasions and these fall into that category. 

Best thing yet is the price. Are you ready for this madness? $60 .. YUPPPPPPP. When I checked yesterday all sizes were available but today there are only 5,6,7,8,10 which means they are going fast.

IG Baddie: @fabchicv

Have you ever stumbled upon a dope ass female on your explorer page and immediately follow her because you know everything she posts is going to be insane?!?

Well let me introduce you to @fabchicv who I have been following for well over 2 years. 

From her DOPE pictures to her creative IG captions her style is overall AH-MAZ-ING. It ranges from tomboy chic to downtown glam. 

Vee makes you want to befriend her to pick her brain about fashion advice.

Not going to lie I semi-stalk her page for looks ALL THE TIME! 

Vee runs a fashion IG page @comeinveescloset that certainly reflects her personal style. Everything she posts on her fashion page I could see her rocking effortlessly. 

I decided I wouldn't be selfish any longer and share her with you guys! 

Enjoy!

Dope Girl of the Day: Laura Govan

Let me just say this...

L A U R A has been S L A Y I N G!!

I adore Laura's style. From her gym gear, swimsuit wear, casual chic or black tie. Her style seems to get better with every year. Not only do I love her style but I love her LIFESTYLE. 

I feel like if you met her she would say "so what if you have a donut just as long as you bust your a$$ to burn it off.." 

Everything about her seems motivational. She is clearly DOPE. She makes me want to find my old favorite pair or jeans workout until they fit again.

There is nothing more I appreciate than women who have attainable style and who don't flash price tags at you. You can find similar peices to almost everything Laura wears. That's beyond amazing in my book.

Flawless Mugs: MAC Lightful C Collection

Roughly two weeks ago I went into MAC to purchase a face powder for my mother and saw this line. Maybe it was the packaging that caught my eye but I am so glad it did. 

First let me say that I have not been married to a facial regimen. I have a couple of products that I go between. I promised myself that I would be more vigilant with my skin care when I turned 30 (cough cough two years ago). I have gotten better but I still have a ways to go. 

PLEASE NOTE: I only use this in the morning. I will share my nightly regimen in another post. 

Anywho I saw this line at MAC and thought I would give it a go. I first purchased the Marine-Bright Formula Cleanser. I used a dime sized amount - which in all honest is too much in my opinion). I used this cleanser with my Clarasonic Mia 2  and lathered up and felt amazing on my face. My face felt like there wasn't one piece of makeup or dirt anywhere. For people who are makeup wearers like myself that is a BIG DEAL!!! NO one likes waking up with leftover makeup on their pillow case.

I also purchased the Marine-Bright  Formula Softening Lotion  . Please don't let the word lotion deceive you like it did me! I thought this was lotion until I spoke to my friend who said it had a liquid consistency. The cleanser is actually much thicker than the "lotion". What I instantly noticed about the lotion was that my face felt refreshed! I put a couple of dabs on a cotton pad and wiped my face thoroughly.

Lastly, I picked up the Marine-Bright Formula Moisture Cream . Which I LOVE! I have extremely oily acne prone skin. I used to think because my skin was so oily I didn't need a moisturizer. WRONG WRONG WRONG. I have gone through many of them and realized that gel based moisturizers work best for me. Lucky for me the Marine-Bright Formula Moisture Cream gel based. I feel like gel soaks into my skin and makes it feel smooth not greasy.

I also picked up the Marine-Bright Formula Essence (serum) and the Vibrancy Eye Cream but those came yesterday so I don't think I can do a fair review on those yet. Give me a couple of weeks.

I have nothing bad to say about this collection so far. I absolutely love it I feel like my complexion is evening out and I have not had a break out since I have been using it. It is a bit pricey but if you can spend money on shoes and bags your skin should be a no brainer!  

Dope Girl of the Day: Nene Leakes

Whether you love her or hate her one thing you have to admit is Nene Leakes style has most definitely evolved! She is the queen of understated fly! Her looks have been hitting lately.

Nene is the queen of a white tee, distressed jeans, a bad a$$ pair of pumps, and jewelry that will blind you if you look at it long enough. Her makeup has been on the money as of late and her hair too. I love seeing what she is going to come up with next. I am very rarely disappointed by her looks or her actions..

I am sure she doesn't need my approval but she has it.
