MY STYLE: VALENTINE’S KISSES

Happy Valentine’s Day, my lovely Peaches! Today’s post comes to you from my very warm and cozy living room. As much as I wanted to frolic in the snow and snap some shots in a wintery wonderland, it is bitter cold this weekend and my couch, a blanket, and a hot cup of tea have been calling my name. So I’ve changed things up from my usual outdoor shoots and have put together a comfy, around-the-apartment, weekend look that’s sure to please on this day of love.

I wanted to have some fun with this look, and the red lip motif on this shirt was the perfect place to start! From there, I added a bold, red beaded necklace and a flirty rose ring, and finished off the look with some playful pink and red lip socks. Even my manicure got some love with a simple red crystal heart accent on my ring finger (if there’s an excuse to add something red and glittery to my look, I’m all over it!).

Whatever your plans may be this Valentine’s Day, have fun with your look…and enjoy a chocolate or two for me!

GOLDEN GLOBE STYLE: RED CARPET BEAUTY

With the post-Golden Globe week coming to an end, it’s time to share the last installment in my red carpet inspired looks, and this is one is a bit of a change from my previous fashion looks.

I’ve invited Toronto based makeup artist, Alyssa Antonio (owner of Makeup By Aye) to share her favourite beauty look, along with the products you’ll need to recreate the look yourself!
“I loved Jenna’s look! Her soft pink lip colour and smokey blue eyes are right on trend with Pantone’s Colours Of The Year. This is a great look for someone who wants their makeup to make an impact without overdoing it – perfect for a night out on the town!”

73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals

For the face: You’ll want to go with products that leave you with a dewy, sheer finish. I recommend NARS Sheer Glow Foundation, along with Chanel’s Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup, and Bobbi Brown’s Creamy Concealer Kit as the base. For effortless golden contours, I love Benefit’s Sun Beam and Benefit’s Hoola Matte Bronzer. Finish off the face with naturally flushed cheeks by using Makeup For Ever’s HD Blush in Nip Slip.

For the lips: NARS Lip Gloss in Orgasm will give you a perfectly pink pout.

For the eyes: For a night where you’ll want your makeup to last, I always start with an eyelid primer like Laura Mercier’s Eye Basics. To create this smokey look, I would use MAC Eyeshadow in Saddle for the crease, Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Ebony for the outer corners, MAC Eyeshadow in Mystical Mist to blend from the lids to the outer corners of the eye, and MAC Eyeshadow in Shroom for the inner corners of the eye. To finish your dramatic look, false eyelashes and a few swipes of mascara are a must! I love Benefit’s They’re Real mascara.

For the brows: With the smokiness and drama of your eyes, you’ll want to keep your brows looking clean and natural. To add definition, I  recommend Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow in Dark Brown. To keep your brows in check, Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel will do the trick!

Have you tried any of the above products listed? If so, which ones do you love? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks to Alyssa for sharing her favourite Golden Globe beauty look with us. I hope you’ve enjoyed all the looks this week, and can’t wait to see how you incorporate them into your daily style.

GOLDEN GLOBE STYLE: SEQUINS

There were so many trends that I love on this year’s Golden Globe red carpet, that I simply couldn’t share just one. Earlier this week, I put together a daytime looked based on Jennifer Lopez’s stunning mustard-coloured gown. I’m switching gears for today’s inspiration and have put together a fun evening look with a little glitz and glam.

Sequins were sparkling under the flashbulbs of the press as star after star made their grand entrance. From to Olivia Wilde to Kate Hudson, the ladies of the red carpet knew how to shine. I was particularly drawn to the deep, midnight blue number that Julianne Moore wore, and have based this glittery ensemble off of her. It’s the perfect look for a night on the town!
