Tutorial: Glammed Up New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is such a glamorous night. All the parties, dress, fireworks, champagne, and promise of a new year. I love going out with Briam and being able to share the beginning of a new year with him. We talk about our resolutions, watch the fireworks, and normally get some kind of ice cream. It always feels like a refreshing way to start your new year off right!

For those of you who are looking for a more glamorous look to rock on your NYE night out, then you've come to the right place! This look is inspired by all of the gold and black decor your normally see around this holiday. Not to mention, it's quite sexy and very dramatic!

Tutorial: Festive Holiday Look

For me, there's a wonderful feeling that I get each year whenever the holidays are around. It can be described as an overwhelming amount of joy and happiness, all whilst being quite humble. I love the holidays. It used to be about the presents and food, now it's all about family. Each year Briam and I do something different. Sometimes we go to his family's house, my parents house, or we just go away together. Nothing makes me happier than being with the people I love. 

For this look, I was inspired by the cranberry and gold hues of my parents house when my step-mom decorates each year. It's always so beautiful. Most of these products are pretty affordable and are easy to find! Don't have something? Swap it out for what you do have! Or put it on your holiday wish list!

Tutorial: Welcome to Winter

When I think of Winter, I always think of the greeting cards that are blue and gray with trees and snow everywhere. The scenery seems so gloomy, yet there is a natural beauty to the understated darkness. I guess you could say that was my inspiration for this look. I didn't want the eyes to be too dark, but somewhat muted with blue and gray. Pairing that with a nude lip and flushed cheeks just seemed so perfect for welcoming the frosty weather! 

Blue/Gray Shadows and a Nude lip. Perfect for Winter!
