The Ray and The Ro

It’s All In The Eyes

I’ve always adored the 60’s cat eye makeup. I always thought I was incapable of doing this to my eyes as the liquid eyeliner always seemed to end up everywhere aside from the outline of my eyelashes. I came across the tutorial over the weekend that I would like to share with you guys so we can all look as beautiful as our favorite 60’s icons.

Need Her Look!

Kate Bosworth’s outfit in this photo is FUCKING amazing! It’s a little bit of Chloe influence and I love this whole look from head to toe… don’t be surprised if I jock this look one of these days!

The Scent.

To us women, a scent is a very big deal. It shows off our sense of character and is a representation of who we are. That is why it can be a major dilemma to pick out that perfect perfume and I figured maybe I can help in this department. Here are a few of my favorite perfumes.

Tom Ford- Black Orchid

Why I Love it: Very harsh when you first smell this scent but the smell gets better as the scent fades. It is one of those perfumes that someone will remember you from that particular scent and the smell doesn’t go away from skin or clothes.

Mood to rock this: Edgy but glamorous- perfect right before you go out.

Chloe

Why I Love It: Made from the queen of flowers, peonies and the smell is full of freshness and femininity. I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t love the scent of this perfume, and it also lasts on your clothes and skin.

Mood to rock this: When feeling feminine and chic. Perfect for the work or a Sunday Afternoon

Chanel Chance:

Why I love It: It has a strong scent minus the usual headache that comes with it. This is the more edgy of fragrances by Chanel which gives it also a youthful smell.

Mood to rock this: When feeling sexy, spontaneous and fun. Perfect for adventures or a one night stand

Dior Addict BLUE Bottle:

Why I Love It: My personal favorite perfume. Only available at Sephora and don’t get mistaken for the pink bottle. The smell is very bold and will mix with your natural scent.

Mood to rock this: When feeling unique, confident and original. Perfect for any mood.

Fall Key Pieces

Maybe it’s because I am no longer in school and my summers aren’t as sacred to me as they use to be, but I’m ready for the turn of leaves, multiple layering, and the 5pm darkness. With that said, it is no doubt that I’m already preparing my fall wardrobe and I chose some essential pieces for your upcoming seasonal looks!

Leather Shorts: Phillip Lim 3.1 Leather Shorts

Solid scarf/ neckwraps: Missoni knit mohair blend scarf

Metallic clutches: Marc Jacobs Garbo Leather Clutch

Oversized waferers: Grey Ant Sunglasses

Red Lip Gloss: Dior “Red stockings” Dior Addict Gloss

Icon Spotlight: Margherita Missoni

Missoni doesn’t have to look too far when it comes to finding a muse. In fact, Missoni has to look straight to their own blood as they realized years ago that the heiress herself, Margherita Missoni is the ultimate fashion icon. Whether it is her sense of mixing bold patterns which includes throwing in a too die for Missoni piece in her wardrobe, Margherita’s style is effortless and a touch of bourgeois bohemian. Margherita’s closet doesn’t come cheap either, so check out some picks below I thought would be Miss Missoni’s obsessions.

1. Jimmy Choo Fringe Clutch
2. Chanel Gold Lame Nail Color
3. Louis Mariette Pearl Hairband
4. House of Harlow Tribal Earrings
5. Tan Azzedine Alaia Pumps
6. Missoni Aspen Woven Maxi Dress
7. Movado Museum Black Watch

Olivia Palermo for Freda FW2010

Roberta — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:32:15 +0000

I always hate when girls with model don’t dress to their fullest potential. I always claimed that if I had more money than I knew what to do with I would have the most amazing wardrobe. I’m glad that someone lives up to my standards and this person happens to be Olivia Palermo. Yes, I’m not crazy about her “character” on The City but the girl can seriously dress and her personal style is one to aspire to have. With that said, check out Olivia Palermo for Freda’s Fall/Winter Collection Video Lookbook. So beautiful.

2. Chloe Marcie Large Leather Bag
3. Aeropostale V-neck BF Vest

Gap Twill Boys Coat

I cant believe its almost August. Want to know a secret? Im really looking forward to fall. I not a huge summer fan when it comes to getting dressed. I feel like im always sweaty, and not put together.Fall inspires me far more. I love layering and boots and thick chunky knits. I recently bought this Gap Boys military coat in dark green. It was only $44.50! I cant seem to find it online, but if you can i would pop into the gap kids section. They run pretty decently sized, I bought an XL.

Currently LOVE: Animal Print, Fake Fur, Military Jackets, Silk Shirts, Gun/Skull Jewelry, Navaho Prints, Big Watches, still love the alexa chung mulberry bag, boots, boots and more boots, and a Sante Fe Road Trip in the near future.

Currently Listening to: Empire of the Sun, Band Of Skulls, The Bird and The Bee, Temper Trap
