So I’m finally jumping on the red lipstick bandwagon. I’ve been seeing so many beautiful bloggers rockin’ the red lips lately that I finally broke down and admitted it to myself: I wanted in on it too! So I bought my first ever red lipstick this weekend and felt like such a grownup.
Red, originally uploaded by academichic.It took me a long while to decide on a color but then I came home and saw this post on The Rockstar Diaries, in which the gorgeous Naomi, who rocks the red lips as part of her signature look, tells which brands and hues she likes most. Hmph, should have seen this one sooner. But there it is for any of you hesitantly approaching the red lipstick makeup aisle.
Purse, originally uploaded by academichic.Other things I’m loving right now: red nails, Heidi braids, pattern mixing, layered jewelry, and owls. Yes, I know, owls. How cliche. Everyone loves a good owl these days, but how can you not?
How about you? What are your recent likes? What looks or finds are you embracing?
