White Hot! Celebrity Inspired Holiday Looks

Hi Angels!

We are back to glam in this celebrity inspired look. As the temperatures drop, we know that we always find comfort in wearing black and other dark hues. Well, we want to switch it up this winter, and were inspired by some of the looks Kim Kardashian has made appearances in over the last few weeks. Why not go outside of your comfort zone and wear white for a holiday party to ring in the new year?  We really love the white lace, although we will opt for some less revealing options.  Way to make a statement and rock a winter white!

Here are a few affordable white lace options to make you red carpet ready and recreate the look:

Option 1:

We love this dress, it's fitted, but not too revealing.   

Dress:  Arrogant Cat - Asos

Earrings: Kenneth Jay Lane Halo - ShopBop

Shoes:  Jessica Simpson - Zappos

Clutch:  Wyatt - Bluefly

Option 2:

Love this dress, with the unexpected cutout, channelling Kim's look pictured above (middle). 

Dress:  Black Halo - Neiman Marcus

Clutch:  Express

Earrings: Kenneth Jay Lane Halo - ShopBop

Shoes:  Aldo Elphea

Option 3:

Same dress as Option 1 totally changes when you switch the clutch and shoes.  Go ahead and recycle!

Dress:  Arrogant Cat - Asos

Earrings:  Kenneth Jay Lane Halo - ShopBop

Clutch:  Aldo Husul

Shoes:  Aldo Anklam

Isn't it amazing how the accessories can completely change the look?  Here's to looking like a star in 2014!

Happy Holidays!

Holiday Party Glam!!!

Hello Angels,

With Christmas and NYE fast approaching, we Pretty Prescribers know you will be wracking your brains and tearing through your closets looking for something chic to wear to all those parties that you've been invited to.
Here, we've created a look built around this amazing skirt (center) from Top Shop at Nordstrom:

Black Portofino blouse: Express, Only $35.94.
Via Spiga caged platform sandal booties: Bloomingdale's
Black embossed python clutch: Gigi New York
Kenneth Jay Lane emerald drop earrings: Amazon
Tassel Necklace:  J. Crew (pictured sold out), similar here.  Can also easily find on eBay!
Faux fur bolero: Nordstrom
UrbanDecay24/7 eyeliner in Goldmine: Sephora

A skirt this amazing with such eye-catching detail needs to be paired with relatively simpler details.  You want to look glamourous, not tacky and overdone!  If you're going for serious glam we like this faux fur jacket in lieu of a regular dress coat.  The classic jewels and clutch add refined, on-trend yet understated touches to this overall glam outfit.
And of course don't forget the makeup!  We love the many ways you can use eyeliner to instantly (and easily) glam up your makeup look without much fuss.  Urban decay's 24/7 pencil in Goldmine, applied in a thin line just above regular black eyeliner will draw lots of attention to your eyes all night.  For more info on different eyeliners that will also pair really well with this look, check out this post.

We hope you like it and maybe are inspired to pull pieces from your closet that you already own to re-create this look!  Please share your thoughts, questions and ideas in the comments.

Until next time,
Happy Holidays!

What to Wear for the Holidays - The Thanksgiving Edition

Hello Angels!!

I know it is always a challenge to figure out what to wear around the holidays.  You want to look fabulous since you will most likely be reuniting with friends and family, but want to achieve this without breaking the bank!  All of the above applies for me, plus I was on the lookout for something comfortable, with some give, so that I don't feel self conscious about what I will be eating all day.  Sequined track pants to the rescue!  They are a fun way to add some sparkle, while remaining very comfortable, and that is my main goal.  I was inspired by some luxe options by J. Crew and Anthropologie, but I opted to find the look for less so I could spread the love for my holiday gift list.  

Here is my look for Thanksgiving tomorrow, keep scrolling down for the play by play, and where to find everything.  Happy shopping and a very Happy Thanksgiving to our US readers!  Stay tuned for more looks throughout the holiday season!

The complete look

The clothes

The main piece, sequined track pants by Wayf ($68 at Nordstrom)

My top is a simple black tee with embellished shoulders from Express, which is now on sale for $14.95!  Since my pants are very flashy, I wanted to tone everything else down.

I will be wearing black suede Zipfel pumps from Aldo $70

And of course, since it's going to be cold, I needed a jacket, also from Express. This is a quilted baseball jacket on sale for $39.95

I decided to go with a faux leather envelope clutch from Nordstrom $35

And last but not least, my splurge for this outfit is a black and gold lucite bracelet by Alexis Bittar, also from Nordstrom $99

For my inspiration, I spotted these pants at Anthropologie for $348 and these J. Crew Harem Sequined pants for $650. I was able to achieve the entire look for around $325, and I already owned most of the pieces!  

Anthropologie sequined taper pants $348
 

J. Crew Harem Sequined pants $650 (yes, that's right six-hundred-fifty-dollars)
 

Wishing you a Happy and Stylish Holiday!

Camo goes glam!

Hey Angels,

Today's outfit is inspired by the recent drop in temperatures and… My recent obsession with all things camouflage!  The key in this outfit is the pops of neon pink that keep this tone on tone look interesting and ultra feminine.  I'm going to find a million ways to incorporate this J. Crew necklace (from their spring/summer collection) into my fall wardrobe, because I do believe in keeping the colors fun even as the layers pile on.  

Gap tank

Express jacket and camouflage pants

J. Crew sandals 

J. Crew statement necklace 

J. Crew Factory pave link bracelet

Stella and Dot "renegade" spike bracelet

Express multi-chain gold bracelet

Michael Kors gold chronograph boyfriend watch (Macy's online) 

I paired this bold outfit look with neutral (but shimmery) makeup choices.  This allows all the attention to be focused on my neon sandals and statement necklace!

Face:

MAC matchmaster foundation 

Makeup Forever concealer palette

MAC warm blend mineralize skinfinish

Eyes:

MAC- pigment in Naked all over the eyelid, sparkle Neely sparkle in crease, Center Stage in outer v, Arena in highlight /brow bone (not pictured)

Black eyeliner on top eyelid, leave bottom lid unlined for a very daytime/work look.  Finish with at least 2 coats of mascara on top and bottom lashes.  I'm currently loving Benefit "They're Real" mascara over Tarte lash primer.  A winning combo that will have people thinking you're rocking falsies!  

Side note: Since I started using this mascara I've probably worn falsies only a handful of times for special occasions.  

Lips:

OCC makeup lip tar in "kava-kava".  

If you want to punch up this makeup look to meet up with friends at happy hour, switch this lip color for something pink to tie in your shoes and necklace.  Our faves:  MAC Quick Sizzle, Candy Yum-Yum.  Or Urban Decay Anarchy.  

Hope you enjoy and are inspired!  Please share your comments, questions and your takes on the red hot military trend!  Let's talk fashion and makeup!!!
