Magazine Monday - Spotlighting LUCKY September 2012

Lucky for me, I get magazines in the mail weekly, and lucky for you, I have the September issue of Lucky to spotlight today! I liked the style of paging through the issue with you and stopping at my favorite spots, so we'll do it again!

Eva Longoria is the gorgeous cover girl on this issue! Really loving the white for fall and those shorts are super cute, the perfect cut, and awesomely sheeny! She looks gorg!

~-~

I had to stop at this ad for Kate Spade. Love the colors and circle theme Kate is working with in her latest ad. I'm a very geometric designer and am just naturally drawn to images like this - including the use of a lot of primary colors. It's perfectly me...and I guess Kate Spade, too. ;)

~-~

I love this feature on women who work at the Nars Cosmetic company! They have awesome tips and look so chic! Can we all work with these lovely ladies?? My favorite tip comes from Sales Manager, Michelle Bello - "Every outfit looks cooler with booties!" - AGREED! :)

Another awesome little feature is Four Girls, Four Cities where four ladies from four different cities discuss their favorite places to shop! From London to Paris, or LA to NY, they have a bunch of great places to go! I love that Justine Fairgrieve (CEO of RelativeMO) people watches while grubbing on baked goods in London! Can I join sometime?

I'm all about red! It's coming back in a glorious way and I can't wait to see it all over this fall - and I'm not just saying that because red looks good on me!

I LOVE metal collars - such an awesome accessory. If you're looking to be more conservative, or add some girlish proper charm to a look, these are PERFECT. I'm a lover of conservative looks on women, and I think this can add a lot to many different types of necklines. Play all day with these!

Lucky featured an awesome spread with cool and different shoe alternatives that are becoming popular these days. These three types really caught my eye because I love the charming nature they bring. Booties are my absolute favorite - especially with a dress. I like mixing the hard and soft, and I think they pair so fun together.

I'm a sucker for spreads and Lucky doesn't disappoint with this issue! I love the bold colors of this Free Range spread paired with the beautifully rugged scenery. My favorite look is the GORGEOUS BCBG Max Azria red, yellow, and white dress with high black boots. Stunning! I also love the "Get the Look" feature after the spread that gives alternative options to the outfits seen in the Free Range spread. The options are reasonably affordable and perfectly good alternatives!

I love opulence and I love past European fashion, so anything nicely inspired by Baroque is perfect for me! I love this gorgeous modern take on Baroque style - they have a perfect mix of conservative looks, pretty looks, and cute looks. I love the structure offered up in this spread - so gorgeous and form enhancing. My absolute favorite look is the STUNNING Burberry mauve lace dress over the AMAZING tiered collar Maison Murasaki shirt - it is unbelievably chic and gorgeous and I can't get enough! The accessories are playfully nice, because this look could read a bit stuffy otherwise. Who doesn't want a wolf head belt?

Another glorious magazine post - and another recommendation to pick up a Lucky magazine! They have a lot to offer, as always - inspiration on every page!

What's your favorite current magazine and what did you love about this Lucky issue?

Sunday Funday: DIY Studding

Hello again!

After a short break, I am back with some more DIYs.

I have so many things I want to make and show you, but I was swamped with moving and work this week.  So, I decided to revamp some summer items that were already in my closet. 

I bought a pack of studs for like $2 on eBay, and I have been dying to use them.

So I call this segment, Fun with Studs.

My sister bought me this sweet bathing suit from Victoria's Secret for the summer.

(P.S. You may recognize the style from one of Elle's previous posts)

As if the neon green color wasn't fierce enough, I decided adding some studs to the top was necessary.

The studs I have are super easy to use.  They pierce right through the fabric and then you push down 4 pegs in the back to keep it in place.

I didn't want to go overboard, so I just did a line across the top of each cup.

Now it is like a brand new bathing suit!  I'm in love with it.

I might even add another row or two.

Since this is one of the easiest DIY projects, I also decided to stud a pair of canvas shoes.

I bought these cuties for $6 at Target.  

They are the perfect summer slip-on, and they are actually really comfortable.  

Again, studs were necessary.  I added a few along the seam of each side of the shoes.

      

Now they are just a little bit more interesting, and no one else has a pair like me. 

So if you are looking for a cute way to revamp some old (or new) items in your closet, studs are definitely an easy, cheap, and stylish way to do so.

Hope you like!  See ya next week!

XO Christina
