A little beauty inspiration for your weekend... Models Lily Aldridge and Andreea Diaconu have mastered the bold eyebrow look. No matter how hard I try, I can never keep mine looking this groomed. Any one have any good tips for shaping and filling them in?

This is the perfect ponytail for those days when you are short on time, but want to look more put together. So easy and chic- my favorite kind of hairstyle.

GOLDEN EYE | LAST MINUTE NEW YEAR'S EVE BEAUTY INSPIRATION

An easy last minute beauty idea for New Year's eve... Head to a pharmacy or local Sephora and pick up a shimmery gold eyeshadow for a subtle touch of sparkle. This would go great with a burgundy lipstick and just a hint of mascara. If you want go for a bolder eye, add eyeliner, layer on more mascara and keep the lips bare/nude.

THE DARK + THE LIGHT

Super inspired by these two backstage beauty shots from Valentino and Léonard. Loving the juxtaposition of the nude nail polish with the stacked dark metal rings, as well as the mix of the black manicure with delicate simple rings. I have been a nude nail addict lately, but am thinking about giving black nails a try again- it's always been hard for me to switch to a darker color.

Who knew burgundy eyeshadow could look so good? Especially with a matching lip and blouse. My burgundy beauty crush doesn't stop there... loving the half moon nails at Oscar de la Renta.

Yeah, Karen Walker is killing it in the sunglasses game. I always look forward to seeing what unique + kooky design she'll come up with next. Love the first 'Anytime' pair in crazy tortoise!

SOFT CAT-EYE LINER

ph: Style Bistro

Sometimes, I feel that black cat-eye liner can be too bold for a day look- this soft version from Theirry Mugler S/S 2013 is a great subtle way to rock the look without it being too much.

Obsessed with the dreamy glitter cat-eye at Chanel F/W 2013! Kinda makes me want to do this for my wedding, but just a little more subtle, without any on my eyelashes.

NUDE NAILS | BURGUNDY TIPS

ph: Shopbop Shoptalk | Vogue UK

Love this simple nail inspiration. A burgundy tip looks great over bare nails or over a layer of nude polish. To get the look, try this burgundy + this nude polish.

ps- how great do the nails look with that Pamela Love ring + 3.1 Phillip Lim clutch?!

BOLD LASHES

ph: Vogue UK

Major crush on the bold lashes at Gucci S/S 2013. I know false lashes are normally associated with over-the-top party looks, but with clean skin + neutral lip color they're understated + chic.
My favorite way to get the look is with Illamasqua false lashes + Duo black eyelash adhesive.
