Fat Shopaholic: January 2011

Make Me Over!

Thursday, January 27, 2011

This month I did more make up and nail polish shopping then anything else. I think I'm starting to embrace the idea of style from head to to toe, so one of my goals this year is not to neglect my face and nails. I made a video showing all of my beauty purchases this month and below I have included pictures of all of the lipsticks in the video on me. I think my favorites so far are the orange and the pink; I love the boldness of both colors. I wore the pink and the outfit I have on to school today and received a few compliments on it. Someone said they saw it from across the street..lol I would have taken outfit pics, but you didn't miss anything I just had on black denim leggings and Tall Docs that take for ever to lace up on the bottom.

Inspire Me!

Saturday, January 8, 2011

Lately I have been really inspired by the style of older men and women. I even referenced this inspiration in my Christmas outfit by using a gold watch and fedora for accessories. These two photos from Advanced Style have been a particular inspiration.

I have also been loving turbans lately. I started off with a few beauty supply ones to try the trend out and eventually (yesterday) I taught my self how to tie my own. I love hair accessories and June Ambrose for bring it back. I used her twitter twitter tutorial to tie mine.

Finally, I have been loving long hem lines. I just think it's interesting to see how sexy you can look without showing a lot of skin. This photo is from Marc Jacobs Fall 2010.
