how to wear: red pencil skirt

SIMPLE ELEGANCE

CHIC CLASSIC

SEXY EDGY

PRETTY ECLECTIC

ROMANTIC FLIRTY

The red pencil skirt is slowly gaining reputation to become the next big thing after the LBD(little black dress).It is so versatile that you can achieve different looks with it.I was hesitant to buy a red skirt because I did not have any idea what to wear it with. Now,I am on the hunt to find the perfect one. Ann Taylor actually has a pretty one and they are actually on sale right now.

pretty in tights

Give your old,boring opaque black tights a rest and dare to wear sheer,lacy colored tights that screams "Look at me!!!". They're not just for ballerinas anymore. Streetwalkers are strutting their stuff wearing colored tights and they don't look tacky at all.It's a definite cold weather must have.

feline attraction

Animal prints are popping up again and they're here to stay.If you dig the edgy and flirty look,then its for you. What's nice about the latest style is that its subtle and not "in your face" loud.But please don't be carried away and wear it head to toe or people are gonna call animal control.

blackhead wars

I absolutely hate blackheads.They are so annoying.You don't need a magnifying glass to see it because it stares right at you when you look in the mirror. The good news is, it is easier to treat compared to acne. It is excess sebum that gets trap inside the pores and is oxidized that's why its black.The key is to use a deep cleanser that penetrates the pores.Then exfoliate with a scrub once a week to remove dead skin cells.I love love love Mario Badescu's silver powder because it actually dissolves the blackheads.(no kidding!)I use it once a week after scrubbing with St.Ives apricot scrub.

pucker up

The number one thing that I hate about winter: chapped lips. Its very annoying and embarrassing at the same time. The cold weather always bring major chapping of our lips so its necessary to have a heavy duty lip therapy. Some trusted brands are Rosebud Salve, Burt's Bees, Korres and Aquaphor.If it has shea butter,then it will work wonders.Who knows who will be under the mistletoe...
