Vamp It Up With MAC Hautecore & MAC Talk That Talk

What better way to celebrate Winter than a dark, sultry lip?  MAC Hautecore made its second debut this Black Friday holiday and is the perfect black matte lipstick for any occasion.  Some may think rocking a black lipstick can be extreme, but for me black is perfect for a bold, in your face vampy look.  With cascading curls and a mixture of colors from my outfit, the black lip was the perfect contrast for my outfit of the night.

If you're not quite ready to walk on the darkside, try wearing a raisin or plum color lip.  My hands down favorite matte lipstick has been Rihanna's Talk That Talk.  This color is a brown, raisin shade and is also matte.  The deep color compliments any skintone and gives a sexy and sophisticated look.  TTT was my choice to compliment my gold foil mini dress for a night out with the girls.  What are some of your favorite vampy lipsticks?

Ugly Sweater Party 2014

Tis the time of year for the holiday parties.  The ugly sweater party is very popular and festive for Christmas time.  It was so fun to see all the homemade outfits or ugly sweaters with glowing lights or in my case bells.  Needless to say I had to find a sweater to wear and headed to The Sleepy Poet Antique Mall in Charlotte, NC.  My sweater was ugly button course I made it work with cute ankle boots and my American Apparel discount pants.

How To Wear Faux Fur: Sheer Chic

Faux Fur vests are very on trend for the winter season.  When its chilly but not cold enough for a coat,  I love to toss on an extra layer to my outfit with a vest.  For this particular look I rocked my grey hue faux fur jacket with all black.  The outfit was casual but the shiny fabric of my pants and the leather detail of my top along with the sheer sleeves really made my outfit luxe.  Check out this post here where I wore a similar outfit; guess I'm a bit obsessed with sheer and fur.  Be sure to spruce up any black on black outfit with a fun and bright lippie!

Denim Glam & Disco Pants

One of my favorite Autumn purchases has been my disco pants from American Apparel.  These pants are very stretchy and instantly slimming.  With the shiny fabric they can be easy dressed up or down. To create a casual glam look I threw on a super cute denim top and a studded out pair of ankle boots.  By creating a big funky bun it made my look a bit dressy.  The icing on my style cake was my dark lippie and burgundy eyeshadow.  It seems denim is the new black!  Maybe a denim lookbook should be up next on ChanelTube....what says you Dolls?

OOTD | Simple With A Dash Of Class For Fall

One thing I love is the color change of the leaves during Fall.  Its a reminder that change is constant and can be beautiful.  With the change in weather its important to start layering clothes, and I achieved this simple look by wearing a white blouse with an oversized sweater.  A light sweater is necessary since its so chilly in the mornings yet easy to remove to enjoy the warmer Charlotte weather throughout the day.  To add a bit of sparkle to my outfit, I choose my multi-colored gem necklace and a bold lip.  By wearing pointy toe heels, (here's a video of shoe) my simple outfit of the day had a touch of class.  With endless layering opportunities, Fall just may become my new favorite season.

G.H.O.E The Best Homecoming On Earth

One of the perks for having a bestie like Mia, who graduated from North Carolina A&T University, is accompanying her to  The Greatest Homecoming On Earth or better known as GHOE.  The university has claimed this title since 1999 and it is a reunion with current and alumni Aggies; how students are addressed that attend/ed NC A&T.  This is my second time joining the fun and its always refreshing to see all of the young black professionals have a great time (see my first GHOE experience).  This event is a great time to showcase personal style and I did just that by channeling 90's sensation Blossom realness.  If you enjoy party atmospheres I welcome you to visit the GHOE for countless day parties, greek step offs, and fashion shows.  My personal impression was similar to the movies "Stomp The Yard" and "Drumline"  My entertainment came simply by walking the campus grounds where there were mountains and mountains of people. With my good friends I danced on the yard, ate great food and had a chance to meet many people.
