Dressing Up Track Pants

I dressed up these track pants by adding a silk blouse, faux-fur vest and black booties for a weekend of beauty fun at Gold Plaited Finishing Salon. While there, I had the chance to be the makeup model for a brow and bronzing tutorial in their "Gal on the Go" workshop (book one here). I was so impressed with the BDB eyebrow pencil they used on me that I had to pick up one for myself. My brows haven't been the same since. Unfortunately it was so sunny while taking these pics that my eyebrows are hidden by my sunglasses. I promise you they are perfected. If you are in the market for a no-brainer all-hair-color complimenting brow pencil I highly recommend picking this one up here or just stop by Gold Plaited! You wont regret it!

6 Faux-Fur Vests That DON'T Look Like Road Kill!

Often times I just can't get over how much some of the fur vests out there look like road kill. However I've rounded up these six luxe looking options at very reasonable prices to keep you looking glam this holiday season!

Stay warm out there ladies!

Lia Sophia: Dressed up/down

One of my favorite bloggers, Veronika, is tall like me and always wears long necklaces that look great on her. With her inspiration I've been incorporating longer necklaces into my outfits lately (as you may have also noticed in yesterday's post.)

I styled this new Lia Sophia necklace (care of HOTPINKstyle's newest sponsor, Anna) in one dressed-up look and one dressed-down look from casual Friday. What I like about the necklace in particular is that it's basic enough to match with just about anything.

In case you're interested, Anna is offering some specials just for HOTPINKstyle readers:

1. 50% off this piece you see on me below if you order by February 23rd.

2. $5 off a $25 order or $10 off a $50 order.

3. If you book a jewelry party with her in March you can get any piece up to $125 for free!

If you are a Face Book fan of mine, you have seen this holiday mani. If not, It's Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI,  some random metallic rose gold polish near the cuticle that I tapered off as I moved upwards. Then I added some chunky silver glitter around the base of each nail and a layer of Essie, Good To Go! It still looks this good 6 days later!! I kid you not! I'm looking at it right now!
