Wear less black.

Black is tres chic, but also tres boring!

Once in a while they can be fun and easy… but after a straight week there is no excuse.

Below are just a few of the MANY posts in which I have wrote about skinny jeans.

With spring coming, I look forward to finding a new favorite pant!

I tend to be a lipgloss girl. Please see exhibit A.

But in the new year I will be buying less lipgloss and more lipstick!

Lately I've been noticing purple lips in ads and on the runways. Let's try them, shall we?

Trying out MAC's "Lap of Luxury" lipglass.

Here we go, berrylicious lips!

Hmmm, the color turned out to be a bit more reddish brown on me.

Oh well, let's add matching nails…

Wearing Nars "Purple Rain" nail polish.

Style notes for purple lips:

Make sure you skin isn't too pale. Use a bronzer or brownish blush so you don't. You don't want to look like a corpse.

Keep your eye makeup minimal — you don't want your eyes and lips competing with each other.

To rock my berry lips, I'm wearing these amazing earrings by a fellow Texas girl, Sarah Briggs.

Check out her website and her shop on etsy. She has gorgeous jewelry for very reasonable prices.

These may have to be my next purchase.

J'adore!
