Before & After
My friend's wife, Tahmina Miah, is starting her make-up business and so I went to see her to get mine done for a Christmas party yesterday. I requested a bold, smokey eye and a pink lip.
She totally nailed it and I was in awe of how cool my eyes turned out (talk about a blending genuis!). If only I could do my make-up like this on my own (ha!).

In case you missed my 4 Ways to Wear a Sequined Skirt video, I thought I'd share the still photos I took while making it.
Since the holiday season is upon us, there are often holiday parties to attend and cocktails to sip. And what if you don't have a holiday party to go to, but just want to wear those sparkly, sequiny, shiny and fancy items that are bedazzling the stores right now? In this case, a sequined skirt. Well, I've got an option for everyone.
From left to right:
1. Casual glam.
Pair your v-neck t-shirt with your sequined skirt for a laid-back look. Add some cap-toe pumps, a long necklace and chunky bangles to complete the look.
2. Office glam.
A patterned top and leather-accented blazer make the perfect business meets sparkle attire for the office. Add some peep-toed slingbacks and a chunky necklace for some edge.
3. Feminine glam.
A sheer campus top in a festive colour take this skirt from day to night. Pair it with some sky-high bronze metallic heels and you're ready for dinner with your man.
4. Edgy glam.
I took a men's white tee from Walmart and cut it into a tank top for this look. I made the sides extra open so the black lace bandeau would peek through. Add opaque tights, wedge booties and a chunky necklace to party all night long.
1. Joe Fresh tee, H by Halston shoes, Ardene necklace & Bijoux Terner bangles.
2. Jessica Simpson blazer, Smart Set top, Guess shoes, Bijoux Terner necklace & Detox cuff.
3. Urban Planet top, Smart Set cami, Bamboo shoes & Ardene necklace.
4. Walmart men's tee (cut up), Ardene bandeau, unknown tights, Aldo boots & Dynamite necklace.
Outfit deets:
* Forever 21 jacket (old) which you have seen with a white oxford-style dress, an all black ensemble lookin' a little mean, fall of 2011 with a pretty tiered skirt, with an LBD, and with a green pencil skirt in one of my first outfit posts ever (cringe!).
* Sirens dress pants (old) that are actually long enough for me to wear with heels (shocker).
* Payless pumps which you've seen with waxed pants & polka dots for Thanksgiving and also with these pants and a pretty feather-printed top.
* Accessories: H&M belt, Bijoux Terner bangle, Bay ring, Gucci shades & consigned necklace (no brand).
I love love love mixing stripes with leopard and this was kind of my first time doing it. Later that week I did it with polka dots.
So, how is everyone doing with their Christmas shopping? I'm rolling along quite nicely, considering how stressed I was last week. Do you ever find that one awesome gift for that one person and feel so much better? Like a whole bunch of stress has been lifted as you can now focus on the small stuff, last minute items and stocking stuffers. I'm so excited for Christmas and while my shopping isn't yet complete, I'm getting pretty close and that's a relief.
Happy 12/12/12!
