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!

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!!!

Arm Candy!!!!

Hello Angels!

As the summer wears on, we want to share with you what we're wearing ON our wrists.  Two words:  ARM CANDY.  If you're not yet up on this trend, allow us at the Pretty Prescription to come to your rescue ;).
You may have been thinking less is more but with this trend more is... well, more!   There's really no wrong way to stack bracelets on your arms, with a nice statement watch, playing with texture and color.  Mix metals and materials for the ideal look.  If you're a DIYer then you're in luck because you can really play with creativity here and save lots of money.
Here are a few examples of what we're wearing and how we're wearing it:

                      


 


J. Crew, Kendra Scott and Stella and Dot are among our favorite jewelry designers. 
For very affordable and trendy bracelets and necklaces there are a few Etsy and online shops we love.
For example:  Gigglosophy
Another fave:  Urban Peach Boutique

And let's never forget our absolute fave for all affordable trendy things:  Target.  Yes.  Target.
With bracelets for as little a $6 a pop you'll have an awesome arm stack going in no time.
This is a fun fashion trend that really lets you express your individuality while following a trend (who knew!) so...  Happy shopping!
We'd love to see what you're wearing and how you're wearing it too!  Post pics of your arm candy and any great deals you come across in comments!
