Shake Your Tambourine with Proenza Schouler

My loves, my loves, my loves...

I know I'm gone, but I figured I could do this post while I'm at the hotel!!! This is fashion related post on a bag that I would die to have in my closet! It was seen on the runways for Spring 2013 and I absolutely love it. It is a bit off, but it would be amazing when styled correctly...

I'm speaking of the Tambourine Bags by Proenza Schouler.

You can make all the noise in the world shaking these babies! Whether you're living on the wild side or edgy. there's a bag for you!

For Proenza Schouler's spring collection, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez focused on the coolness of a collage and making it into a fashionable piece. From patchworking different hues of python into a vest to fashioning jackets from contrasting squares of leather to juxtaposing digital prints for graphic dresses. These bags are definitely a work of art.

The tambourine bag were created with a combination of elements...

Tutorial | Valentine's Day Look #3: Spontaneous Love

Hello Loves!

Today I have a 3rd look for Valentine's Day for you all. With only 3 days left, I have two more looks for you all! This look is centered around a beautiful purple smoky eye with a pop of pink on the lips and lower lash line. When most people think of Valentine's Day, they automatically think of pink, reds and purples; so in honor of that I decided to go with a purples and pinks in this look.

I hope you all enjoy this look because it's very pretty. This is more so a night out or club kind of look. A bit more bright and dramatic than the first two looks.

Tutorial

The tutorial shows you step by step how to achieve this beautiful purple smoky eye with a pop of pink! In this tutorial I also used a matte finish foundation because during the day you don't want to look like a oily waste-land. You want to look polished and sweet for your day. Especially if you plan to go clubbing!

The blushes I am wearing are dupes for Nars Orgasm and La Femme Mocha blush. Dupe post coming soon!
