Obsessions of the Obsessed: November 2011

Saturday, November 26, 2011

As fellow fashion lovers, you and I can both agree that there is nothing simplier and classier than a monochromatic, black and white outfit.

For today's outfit, I chose an amazing printed t-shirt frock and paried it with sexy over the knee boots. There's nothing like pairing something fitted and sexy with something loose and comfy. From there, I added a few white and black pieces to finish the look, a big stoned necklace, adorable earrings, and a fun striped clutch.

When it comes to hair, I think loose, wavy beach hair is absolutely amazing when it comes to more formal looks. I'm in love with the hair above, and I can only wish my hair could look like that for even a second.

Nothing will forever be as mysterious and edgy in makeup like a smokey eye is. So with you knee high boots, t-shirt dress, and wavy beach hair, rim your eyes with the blackest of blacks, in a classy, not trashy, way.

It's a Saturday night, & you're now looking absolutely fab-let's go dancing!

Black Friday.

Before you go face the storm of crazy shoppers crowding around your favorite discounted stores, take a minute and look at your outfit. Are you running around in the pajamas you woke up at 4am in? Is your sweat suit looking blah & your tennis shoes are crying out to be put away for a day of jogging?!

Now, I do believe shopping on a mission is an Olympic sport, but you don't need to dress like it!

Today, I decided to be bundled in black. No, I'm not having a goth day, I'm just feeling literal. Warm, comfy fabrics with give you the same feeling as your sweats, but you'll look a ton better.

Kick-butt shoes that are no muss no fuss will rule today, & although you may be thinking I'm crazy for not choosing flats, but you need to stomp your way through the crowd? Nothing does that like a five inch heel. (;

Finish the look with some shiny jewels, a luxe scarf, and Chanel, of course!

When it comes to hair, be a no fuss, no muss chick. A simple high ponytail with a fishtail will look fab.

Since you'll be waking up in the wee hours of the morning, try a natural makeup look. A coat of mascara, a swipe of lip gloss, baby you're good to go!
So, try to avoid the mobs that will no doubt be culminating today, but hey, if you do find your self pushing and shoving in line, you'll look fab doing it!

Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving lovelies, I hope each & everyone of you have a wonderful holiday & holiday season.

What better way to celebrate this holiday that with fashion?? Okay, I admit that I'm a bit bias, and I think EVERY holiday should be celebrated with fashion, but whatever... (;

No, don't dress up like the turkey you're about to scarf down like you haven't eaten in years, try going with a theme!

Here are a few ideas that popped into my stuffing filled brain:

Native American: Don't you dare pull out your Pochantas costume. Try neutral browns and earth tones in earthy fabrics like suede, cotton, and leather. Brown leather skinnies+beige blouse with multicolored beading+turquoise jewelry+moccasins or fringe booties=amazing.

Pilgrim: The key to idea is to stay with simple plain neutral colors. Back in the day of the first thanksgiving, fabrics weren't made in the brilliant shades of aqua, fuchsia, & indigo we have today? because the fabric was dyed from things in nature. I suggest a Peter Pan blouse in a chiffon fabric that's breezy and lose, tucked into a high-waisted brown a-line skirt. Add cute knee socks for stockings & some penny loafer heels.

Food: I think thanksgiving is so pretty, the autumn colors of gold, burgundy, and orange are everywhere, including the food. Corn is a gorgeous mustard color that would look absolutely gorg-wahh in a dress or wide-leg trousers. Your green bean casserole is consisted of a beautiful shade of green, creams, and gold. Is it just me or does that sound like a perfect color combination? I absolutely die for the color of cranberry sauce...

So I hope I helped you & helped inspire you on choosing your outfit for this holiday, but I'd you just decide on throwing on sweats or even a turkey suit, I'm not here to judge. (:

Gobble Gobble!!

It's a rainy, blah day, meant for relaxing and eating as little as possible since tomorrow is Thanksgiving.

I absolutely adore a black and white color scheme, and although it's been used since...like forever, it's still so fabulous and classic. When in doubt, go with a black & white outfit, I promise you that you will look fab. I decided to make a little twist by adding these amazing blue pants...did you die? I died.

I love the opposites of the covered up blouse and pants with the sandals. Tres Chic.

The classic pants & top need a little edge, of course, and so I threw in a studded clutch, a stud ring, and an amazing pair of stud earrings. Movie star over sized sunglasses never hurt either, right?

When it comes to a relaxed day, nothing is more easy than a fun bun. For a little more polished look, try a cute braided one with a low bun. I'm in love with this hairstyle with the blouse & pants above.

A red lip would look so amazing with this look, and I'm definitely a lash girl. Bigger the lashes, the better when it comes to me.

So pull out your creme button-up blouses, throw on your royal blue trousers, break out those black strappy sandals, throw your hair up, and smear on that ruby red lipstick.

Stay beautiful loves!

xoxo. Rachel, ♥
