Spring is Blooming

The weather seems to finally have received the memo that spring has arrived. It's starting to warm up and I couldn't be happier. I have way too many cute, colorful shoes to use and the long winter has kept them in my closet for way too long.

One of the shoes that I was able to show off was my Justfab Belfast. They are the perfect, colorful wedge.

This is my take on an outfit that is a great transition from winter to spring.

Pink Cami from Ann Taylor
Lace White Shirt from Mark.
Blue Ombre Pants from JustFab
Necklace & Change It Up Bag by Mark.
Watch by ShoeDazzle
Belfast Wedges from JustFab

On my nails, I have Julep's Mackenzie, which is a beautiful, bright green. It went on smoothly and easily.

Hearts, Chocolates & Fashion

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching. Whether you have a significant other or not, you can look great with fun and flirty pieces that are appropriate for this day of love and chocolates (Lots and Lots of Chocolates).

Accessories

Shoedazzle has some really adorable Love watches. Wear your heart on your sleeve indeed:

This watch comes in Red, Beige, Black and Mint Color on their website.

If you are not one to be held back by time, then they also have a really adorable Love bracelet in both gold and silver

Either of these would be a great accessory for Valentine's Day.




SHOES

If you are looking for the perfect romantic shoe that can be both formal and fun, JustFab has a great red peep toe with a cute bow on the side that screams Valentine's Day. It's called Venice and it can be found on the Just Fab website.

BAG

If you like your Valentine's Day to be a bit more edgy instead of super cutesy, then the Lionel Mazzie bag is the perfect pink bag for you for Valentine's Day. It can be used during the day as a cross body as you hang out with your friends and then it can be used as a clutch at night for your dinner date with your significant other. I'm currently obsessed with this bag because although it's very feminine, the studs make the bag interesting and cool. This bag can be found at the Lionel Handbag website.

If you are looking for something a bit more posh and classic, but keeping the studs that make the other bag edgy and current, Michael Kors has a beautiful red studded quilted clutch bag. This one would be perfect for a romantic dinner at a top notch restaurant in the city. It's gorgeous and will upgrade any outfit from just "nice" to "FABULOUS". This clutch can be found on the Michael Kors website.

Do you guys have any plans for Valentine's Day? Hanging out with friends or going on a romantic getaway? Do you already have the perfect outfit picked out?

Must Haves: Mark., Lace & Freebies

Hey Everyone!

Today was my day off, which means no uniform, so this was my outfit of the day:

I'm wearing Mark. by Avon from top to bottom.

Let me first just say that lace is my new favorite thing this year. For some reason, I can't seem to get enough of it. That is why I was super excited when I saw this new lace top.

This is how Mark. has advertised its I'm Going Lacy Top ($28):

It's a bit of a box cut, so I found that wearing black underneath makes it more flattering. I really love the lace and the color leans more towards cream than white, which I really like as well.

I paired this top with Mark. Great Details Pants ($36) and Mark. Gimme the Boot ($50).

My earrings are Smoke and Mirrors Earrings ($20), which I have been wearing daily & getting compliments on. (^_^)

New Hair - Accessorize Time!

With the leaves changing colors, air getting crispier and pumpkin spice scent in the air, I figured it was time to change my hair.

I've been wanting to get red ombre hair, so I decided to finally go for it. I went to Artim Salon and Spa in East Hanover and Candice made my vision come to life.

Here are the results. I really like how it turned out, but the color looks better in person then in these pictures:

With new hair, I need cute accessories to go with it. Thankfully, Mark. (by Avon) has some really cute hair accessories out right now.



One of my new favorite hair clips is the Mark. Good Hair Day Clip.
The earrings are also by Mark. and they are called Smoke and Mirror Earrings

My hair also looks great with my Mark. Add Sparkle Headbands

 

By the way, my makeup was inspired by page 8 of the new magalog. (Want a magalog? Email me at  markitgirlsteph@yahoo.com and I will send one to you)

Here is the page:

For Foundation, I used Got The Goods in Very Light 2 color.
The purple eyeliner that I used along the lower lash lines is Mark.'s new liquid eyeliner Metal Works in Venus. I really like it because it gives a nice pop of color. I'm going to be using it often.

For the shadows I used i-mark wet/ dry eye shadows in jazzy and luvstruck and even used the new Light Show illuminating Face Powder on the creases of my eye.
The eyeliner I used along the upper lash line is Mark. No Place to Run in Jet Set.
For my lips, I used my new go to color Punch, which is a Make it Rich Lip Color Crayon.

Pick & Choose: Outfit of the Day

I'm really excited because my awesome boyfriend gave me the Clarisonic Mia Skin Care System. I've only used it for a couple of days, so I can't give you a proper review yet. I will do a better, more detailed, review with before and after pictures in about a month. The one thing I have realized in this short time is that my skin does feel smoother. If you want to know how it goes, come back in to visit my blog next month.


In other news, today at work we were able to wear jeans and have a more casual dress down day. This is exciting for me because I have to wear a uniform every day. This is what I chose to wear:

Black Blouse from NY& Company

Jeans are from Express and they are Eva Curvy Fit (Mid Rise) Skinny Jeans - I've tried to find this type of jeans on Express's website, but it doesn't seem like they make the Eva jeans anymore. Does anyone know for sure?

3/4 Sleeve Sweater Cardigan in Orange from Forever 21

Boots are mark. Gimme the boot

mark. Sparks Fly necklace



I was also wearing cute earrings, which you can't see from the picture, so here is a close up:

mark. Smoke and Mirrors Earrings


To keep myself warm when I leave work at night, I have a cute new hat.
