I’m in love with these velvet platform sandals from Topshop. They’re super bright and rich pink with purple ribbon ties—perfect. I love these shades against grey. Here are some other recent purchases, including a grey MBMJ sweater with metallic pink striped sleeves and a cotton/lace romper from GAP. Added my Janine Basil beaded pill box hat for good measure. This Fall, I’m all about dreamy textures and combining muted and bright tones. xo

This is what I see every day when I walk toward my closet. I may be feeling low but when I open my closet door, I get a burst of energy from all the colors, textures, and sentiment attached to different garments. And my shoes are just there being fabulous. 

In my dresser I keep things like jeans, cotton tees, and lingerie. I included a picture because my perfumes, jewelry boxes, and other trinkets always brighten my day.

The best fashion advice I can give any woman is be really picky about what you put in your closet. This is a good way to ensure you have a closet full of things you absolutely love! I personally believe your wardrobe is always unfinished and changing. 

Also, remember it can take years to develop a wardrobe your truly love. So don’t worry if you are just starting out. I definitely believe in quality over quantity. <3

In an effort to clear things from my closet, I have made a site where I will be listing clothes, shoes, and accessories. Please visit pink lip shop or click the image above. Shipping to the United States. Contact me if you have questions!

Here are my first purchases of the new year. I’m trying to be really picky about my shopping so I haven’t bought anything this month until now. I definitely recommend a no-buy challenge to people wanting to use their wardrobes more creatively. I also think it makes adding something new to your closet that much more fun.

My birthday is in two weeks (yay) so this is an exception! I decided to get a pretty dress, a sparkly sweater, a classic denim jacket, and a pair of pink pants.
