Outfit Post: Aztec Rocker

So basically I am obsessed with my Shelley Bee Original skirts. They fit perfectly and are so comfy. I paired it with a band tank, my gorgeous Paint The Town Me tassel necklace, Chelsea Carroll Designs bracelet, Cathryn Ann Designs bracelet, Arrow Harte bracelet and a bold red lip. I have been loving this red color and today I mixed it with a tad bit of a plum liner for a deeper tone.

Outfit Post: Canadian Tuxedo

I decided to break every rule of fashion {at least in my world} and finally try this popular trend: denim on denim. I paired this monochromatic ensemble with chunky gold jewelry, my all time favorite booties and Michael Kors bag.

I just wanted to tell you guys about the arm candy I am wearing. You guys know how much I love Cathryn Ann Designs...I got creative and took one of her necklaces and wrapped it about my arm for a chunky chain bracelet. Cathryn was so so sweet and is giving all my readers $10 off all orders:

I have found some cute hairstyles I am going to try out this week, so you guys will have to tell me how you like them. I hope you all had a great Sunday.
