The Spring Outfit Idea I Can't Wait to Wear

I put together a new spring outfit idea that I can't wait to wear. The best part is, both the top and the jeans are under $100. The look is stylish yet comfy and perfect for around the house or running errands. To get the look, you'll need a neutral statement top like this ruffle-sleeved top, wayfarer sunglasses, a stud earring, a black mini bag, black jeans, and cool slide sandals. Give a your brows a boost with a great eyebrow gel and you're all set.`

This holiday season we're super inspired by Alexa Chung's red-lipped beauty look. It's perfect for every party and is a breeze to pull off. Once you apply concealer and/or foundation, get your brows in place (the more feathered the better). Next, add a few coats of mascara and then accentuate your cheek bones with a light-handed swipe of bronzer. To top it off, apply a bright red matte lipstick and you're all set beauty-wise.

How to Wear a Statement Sweater for Fall and Winter

At the beginning of fall I always like to keep an eye out for a great statement sweater. This season, I have my sights set on this ruffled sweater. It's neutral so it goes with everything, plus it's under $50. One way I'd love to wear it is shown in the outfit idea above—with cat-eye sunglasses, chunky gold hoop earrings, a minimalist black bag, classic Levi's jeans, and cool black lug-sole boots. I'd keep the beauty look simple with attention to my brows.
