Leggings and Colors and Tights, Oh my!

Reblogging this from one of the blogs I follow, What I Wore.

For the month of February We Love Colors is giving all What I Wore readers a 10% discount on their fabulous 80 denier nylon/lyrca tights and leggings plus free standard shipping in the US using code “WHATIWORE”


Free shipping! Say no more. I definitely plan to order a couple pairs of tights. Jessica of What I Wore said she's never snagged a pair! That would rock.

I'd Try That: Collars

Saw this post on WishWishWish and it introduced me to something I've never thought of in the way they are shown here: collars. I think they would be fun to spice up a plain t or simple dress. I will be on the lookout for one or maybe attempt to make my own. I found a couple tutorials if you're DIY inclined.

Red Lips

I've always thought my lips were too big to accentuate them even further with red lipstick. The only time in recent memory I can remember trying the look was for Halloween a few years ago, but seeing a high school friend of mine via her blog rock the look has totally inspired me. We have similar skin tones and it looks amazing on her. She's such a beauty though. Anyway, I've read NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella is the way to go. I will have to head to Sephora and test it out.

I'd Wear That: Funky Chic

A look from one of my favorite blogs, Orchid Grey.
I really like the mix of patterns between the skirt and the scarf.
Her hair is fab too!

This gal has got DIY beauty down! Check out cupcakes and cashmere for her awesome beauty tutorials.

TOMS

Thinking about getting a pair of these before my upcoming trips to SF. Reviews say they're comfy and cute. I can also feel good about buying them because TOMS is an awesome company.



Their movement:

One for One

TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about.

Scar-Jo rockin' the black canvas TOMS. I would pair mine with a much cuter outfit though. Sorry SJ!

Celeb Girl Crush: Zoe Saldana

She just keeps getting prettier. I think her appeal to me stems from my being able to identify with her look. A somewhat unconventional, brown-skinned Hollywood beauty. In her words, "Look at me. I'm skinny, I have a big nose, no tits and no ass, but in a room full of beautiful women, I would still leave with the most gorgeous guy." She insists confidence is the key to her sex appeal.

I love her hair in the above pic from the red carpet at the 2010 Golden Globes. Credit.

Currently Coveting: Stripes

The above is my favorite outfit right now. Want. Credit.

I love this. I own a similar striped shirt and shorts I could make work in this outfit. Credit.
