Good Luck 2015

Color of the Day: RED

 

Without getting into the nitty-gritty of resolutions (which I am not making this year)- I think the new year is an important time to celebrate the new phase of life.

 

If you read my last blog post you would know that I love superstitions and anything fun that helps liven up life and make things exciting. I am following that into the new year!

 

To bring luck on New Years day you should wear something new or red. I have done both. This blazer from Charlotte Russe was one of my Christmas presents. I paired this with a loose fitting tank from H&M and a necklace from Forever 21- similar here.

 

FASHION ALERT:

This Beanie that I am wearing is dupe for the Rag and Bone Beanie featured in InStyle Magazine. Their beanie here is on sale for $75. I found mine on ebay for $14, but you can also fine one similar on sale here.

 

My makeup for today I used the Smashbox Full Exposure Palette- It has several mixed reviews on Sephora and Ulta online but I love it. The Brush that came with the palette has quickly become one of my favorite blending brushes and while the glitter colors leave a little to be desired; they can be used wet or dry. This is truly one of my go to palettes and I love it.

 

 

Thank you for reading, for more fashion and makeup please keep reading!

 

I wish you all a very happy New Year!!

2014 comes to a close and 2015 is about to begin.....

This has been an exhausting year, and I am ready to celebrate the beginning of a "fresh" slate.




To start my day I thought why not end the year on a fresh note and good mood and wear something new, to symbolize bringing in new for the rest of the year. I chose the color Blue as my staple.

Colors represent so much in our lives that I thought why not bring in my new year wearing BOLD statements that have great meaning, end the new year on a positive note and bring in the next year with a positive note.

I am not one to over analyze the new year and I love superstition or cute quirky things that make life a little more fun. The year 2015 I am excited for- it is going to be my golden year, or year of my golden birthday. The big 2-8!

Keeping on my positive vibe, the outfit I wore to work today (details below) symbolizes  knowledge, power, integrity, and wellness. All my hopes in carrying out my golden year.

Outfit Details:

Blazer- Charlotte Russe
Necklace- Francescas- Similar here

Jeans from Kohls are the most comfy Jeggings you will find and for only $19.99 you can't beat the price. Find yours here

 I was lucky enough to be given a bottle of Dom Perignon for a Christmas gift from the company. My first "fancy" bottle of champagne and I am so happy to be able "taste the stars" and welcome in a new year.
 
My own personal choice on New Years Eve is to never get drunk- I don't like the idea of bringing in a fresh year with a hangover or a headache so on this night in particular my self control comes in handy.
 

NEW YEARS FASHION

My undergarments- not pictured here- are white, many superstitions for the new year involve colors; specifically in certain cultures wearing red underwear suggests you will bring in a good new year. I did not have red underwear so I did a little research on colors and decided that I wanted my outfit to embody what I wanted for the new year. Below I have listed some more superstitions for the best possible new year!

White symbolizes peace, harmony and happiness.

My white and gold blazer is from Charlotte Russe- I chose gold because the color represents success, healing, faith and blessing. Not to mention it is a fabulous color perfect for celebration... and as I mentioned I am bringing in my golden new year the best possible way, wearing the color!

The tank I wore I got from a boutique in Los Gatos, CA- it is from brand Ya Los Angeles, I could not find that exact one but here is similar.


My New Years Sparkle Is all in my accessories:
Necklace- TJ Maxx- $40
I could not find anything similar, but my favorite place to buy accessories are Francescas and Bauble Bar

Clutch-Urban Expressions- Similar Here
Shoes- Jessica Simpson- Mayra Heel $59.99

I hope everyone has a safe and fabulous New Year, to enjoy your New Year even more, here are some common superstitions:

• Be sure to have money in your pocket when the clock strikes midnight- to ensure it stays there all year long.
• Open windows (if its not too cold) to let out the old year and help bring in the new one!
• Remember to kiss the one you love on New Years!! So many people get caught up in not having a significant other to kiss- anyone you love will help bring love and positivity in the new year!
• And the final superstition- say something positive out loud so you can hear them, the first words you hear on New Years will set the pace for the year.
