Also love the nails chrissie!

Lacey, THANK YOU for the mad tips on the eyes and brushes. I got mine as part of a Bare Escentuals mineral makeup kit, and they are very similar. I'll try the fine liquid eyeliner in the near future - learning makeup is becoming a winter break project. I'm looking forward to spending some time with my aunt and cousin, both are experts like you. :)

I got out some eye shadow samples earlier this week, but allergic, teary eyes are no eyes to try to express anything but doom. ;)

^^ Hey hun, welcome to the thread! Have a read through this thread (and the old one, linked in the first post) for some inspiration. To start dressing more "girly", try to incorporate a skirt in to your wardrobe routine. Instead of wearing loose t-shirts, go for soft-coloured fitted tank tops etc, just for a couple of examples.

This is great advice. It's a bit cold here atm, but in spring and summer I love the look of a knee-length or longer flowing skirt. You can get away with them, depending on your own look, in all sorts of really bright colors without looking loud, or you can stick with neutrals if that's what works more for you.

I think my favorite outfit is a bright turquoise knee length skirt with a black or white tank, shoes to match the tank, and just one really great piece of jewelry combined with subtle ear studs or hoops, with a sweater in a complementary color or the same color as the shirt I'm wearing.
 
^ My style is pretty much that. :) Long, flowy skirts, tank tops, strapless tops. I love adding vintage pieces with more contemporary styles, and even when i wear jeans, i'll wear a flowing top to balance it out. My friends all know this as my style - it hasn't changed since I was 15 or so. I do deviate from it every so often - i am also in love with the period of the 20s/30s, particularly "Flapper" fashion and 30s glamour. I'm even styling my wedding on this theme. I have a few dresses that are reminiscent of this era, but with a contemporary twist...
 
I did it! I tried the nail marbling. I did the wet one, it was probably the messiest thing I have ever done with my nails, but it turned out really cool once I got it all cleaned up. I still need a lot of practice, they are all very uneven as far as color goes, but they all had such neat looks to them that I just left them (plus by the time I started getting the hang of it, I was pretty much ready to stop)

Cold weather means boots! I love the look of skirts and knes high boots.

Today I am going casual. Motorcycle boots, full lined wool tartan ankle length skirt, and heavy knit white cable turtleneck. Down vest and gloves.

Santa, bring me clothes for Xmas.
 
Here are pics of 2 of my favourite dresses.

lol, i only have one full-length photo of my favourite smart/casual red/polkadot dress, and it's none too flattering, but funny as hell:

This one is posed, but it was a photo to send to my mum in New Zealand. We went to Geelong for Valentines Day this year (people may scoff at the choice, but i'd never been to Geelong and wanted to put my feet in saltwater that wasn't St Kilda turd & oil containing water)

These pics were both taken in February this year, i'm about 35cm lighter of hair now.
 
ah mzthizz u used sheer colors for the marbling...thats a interesting idea yo. I bet it would look real hot if u used a base color that matched one of them (obv. it would have to be a color that looks good mixed with both of the marblin colors, or maybe make it the same shade as one of em like using a blue as a basecoat and marbling with blue and purple, that way u dont end up with the base color showin thru and clashing with one of the marbling colors) But anyways i bet that would be a real sick lookin more subtle way of doin it. It would be noticeable but kind of like havin a solid color nail with a transparent coat of marbling over it to add some creativity to it. Iunno if u did the sheer colors with that in mind or just didnt kno that they would come out partly see thru but either way i like how that looks girl im glad that u tried it out. It made me mad happy that so many ppl tried the marbling and i didnt write that shit for no reason so thank u to everyone who did for usin it to do ur nails! :)

BTW, if there is anything that yall dont kno how to do, u could always ask me , or just for hints or ideas or anytthin like that when it comes to nails or nail art. Even if you wanted to do a specific kind of nail art, like a design that aint abstract but a picture of somethin, like a sunset nail with a palm tree on it , or some shit, I could do tutorials for yall, id love to. I got lots of ideas and nothin makes me happier than sharin em and helpin other ppl learn how to do some raelly cool shit that otherwise they w ould have no idea to do, so any thing u want hit me up and ill post it in here. I just did my girls nails last nite and ill post the pics in a minute when i get em off my email.
 
i didnt pick these colors cuz they aint enough of a contrast IMO and the black line woulda looked better as a different color but watever its wat she wanted so thats wat counts

Wow, this is a place of gorgeous beauty! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's style, too. Lacey, those Brazilian jeans fit you really perfectly, and your hair looks great that length and texture!

I'll model a cute outfit soon. :) I can't find any pics where I'm not in sloppy khakis and a tee or making a funny face (lol) but I'll take something soon to do the girlie thread proud. I need a bit of a haircut to get rid of dead ends and maybe splurge on a few highlights first. Convalescence from injuries doesn't bring out the most gorgeous in me, lol.

PI, I am so looking forward to my sprained ankle again healing so I can wear my perfect 3-inch heeled, knee high black stretch boots that make my legs look super long.

For the fragrance fans, my favorite, courtesy of Ms. COTB, Possets just unveiled their Yule Line! I got myself a little treat of Silver Gardenia (a favorite flower) and Xmas in New Orleans, described as a creamy white floral. These are limited edition, so get them while they last.

I love how everyone's nails turned out. I may do this with gunmetal and iridescent sea green, or two complementary shades of red. :)

I love my 5"chocolate brown suede knee high wedges. I work in 4-5" heels almost daily. LOVE BOOTS! Except ankle booties. Can't do it. Heal quickly!

I will be contributing a photo when I feel I am looking sassy <3 Wrap dresses are my thing.

Lacey, what makes a jean Brazilian? Made in Brazil with the absence of pockets? Damn it takes an ass to pull of pocketless jeans.

^^well i hope i do then since they are a good part of my pants selection.

anyways tho they aint necessarily one brand but they usually always got the brazilian flag inside on the tag, they look like denim but they are a stretchy ass fabric that fits u kind of like leggings but much thicker. they look exactly like jeans even up close but aint, they come in all diifferent colors and styles, decorated bleached lil crystals or etc. alot of times pocketless in the back but not always. usually also pretty low rise. i like them becuz sometimes its real hard for me to find jeans that fits me right without gettin them in a size too small. Because my waist is alot smaller than my ass so if i get jeans that fit me around the waist, they wont fit up over my ass or they are too tight in my ass and hips and i cant move. But if i get them to fit around my ass then the waist is too loose and it makes that gap between my back and the wasitband of the pants. so when i get the brazilian jeans then its alot more comfortable and fits better and i like my jeans tight not all loose. not like tight so its nasty but i aint gonna lie i like that shit to be tight and jeans dont hug ur body as much as the pants made with stretch fabric does.
 
Ugh! I hate the waist gap. I should be trying those jeans but I have to have pockets. I would love to own a pair of jeans that I don't have to wear a belt and stay snug on my hips and ass. I hate pulling shit up or having a bulky line under my shirt where the belt is. The closest I have to good fitting jeans are Miss Sixty.

Jean shopping is up there with bikini shopping....frustrating!!

Yeah your ass is good.
 
i got a pair that got pockets too yo not all of em are pocketless. Ill show u em if u want

U should try a pair yo they aint all styles that u wouldnt like there is always plain solid colors black white red, etc. and i seen with and without pockets in back theres thousands of different styles. IDK if there is alot of stores that would have em by u i aint surre where u live at in CT but i always get mine in Passaic or Paterson theres lots of dominican stores and they always got em. any neighborhood that got a lot of hispanic population would have em most likely. But u should give it a shot girl its so much more comfortable than regular jeans and they make ur figure look right as hell
