Scarlet Red: Refinery 29 and Maybelline Color Elixir Launch #MyLipMagic Pt. 2

Brown c/o bebe leather jacket (similar style here), Pink c/o SheInside floral blouse (similar style here), Brown Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC bag, Burgundy Urban Outfitters BDG skinny jeans, Dark purple Zara ankle-strap heels (similar style here), Makeup: gifted to review Signature Scarlet Maybelline Color Elixir.

Excited to share this second part of the Refinery 29 and Maybelline launch of Maybelline's Color Elixir collection!  Already loving red colored lipsticks, this shade of Signature Scarlet from the Maybelline Color Elixir was a perfect addition to my makeup collection.  I've yet to own a bright bold red lip gloss, but this one for sure was a favorite of mine when trying it on.  The shade is perfect for the holidays coming because of its festive yet beautiful appearance.  

I thought this floral top with hues of pinks, orange, and reds, would complement perfectly with this vibrant red lip color.  This outfit was made for Fall, had a little bit of color block going on: paired my leather jacket and these burgundy skinny jeans with dark purple strappy heels and accessorized with gold jewelry.

Hope you lovelies enjoyed this second part of the series to Refinery 29 and Maybelline's Color Elixir launch! I loved mixing beauty with fashion and styling these outfits inspired by their new lip products.  Have a lovely rest of the week beautifuls!

Oxblood.

Dark brown jacket c/o Bebe, Gold spike necklace c/o Jeweliq, Black 'Celine Dion' shirt, Oxblood gifted Alyssa Nicole skater skirt via Chictopia Rewards, Brown 'Love' bracelet c/o Buy Love Give Love, Brown Cheetah clutch c/o DAAME, Brown Zara sandal heels, Rings: Bauble Bar ring gifted by the boyfriend :), Gold arrow ring via Crossroads Trading.

Ever since last Fall season for fashion trends, one that has stuck with me was the 'Oxblood' trend. Funny how the name of that color is so graphic, but its beginning to become my favorite color for Fall.  I fell in love with this skate skirt because of how feminine yet unique with the sheer overlay.  Designer Alyssa Nicole created such a beautiful silhouette and piece. This outfit is more on the edgier side with darker colors, a biker jacket, and a spike necklace for accessories.  I decided to add a pop of print to the outfit with the cheetah clutch.  Again, a transitional Fall outfit, but I'll definitely be living in cozy sweaters this Fall / Winter seasons.

Hope you lovelies have been doing well! Woo, Happy Friday! Longest week ever, but I really feel like I'm doing well in all the tasks and projects I've had at my job.  It's all a learning experience, but I'm happy I'm moving in the right direction.  

Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead! I'm celebrating both my little brother's and boyfriend's birthdays this Sunday.  I surprised them with tickets to the Niners game! Doing a tail-gate party beforehand.  It'll be their first time going, can't wait to go (my first time too!).

Keep inspiring Beautifuls!

Autumn.

Brown Urban Outfitters beanie, Dark brown c/o Bebe contrast moto jacket, Ivory vintage Chanel clutch, White Urban Outfitters lace top (similar here), Bordeaux American Apparel maxi skirt, Black Zara heels, Accessories: Gold c/o Beginning Boutique ring, gold arrow ring via Crossroads Trading.

I am embracing the Fall season with open arms. Beanies, jackets, layering, knits, wine/bordeaux, are just a few of my favorite things about dressing for my favorite season (check out more of my inspiration in my Autumn board on Pinterest). In addition, Autumn is so lovely with pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin bread ;).  

Hope you lovelies will have a safe and fun halloween (for the weekend, I was minnie) ;), can't believe it's coming up already, time flies! Have a wonderful week ahead Beautifuls!

Chevron.

Brown Karen Walker Super Duper Strength sunglasses, Red HM top, Silver accessories: HM necklace, Pyramid stud bracelet via T.J.Maxx, Vintage watch, leather tie bracelet c/o Maya Brenner, Turquoise ring c/o Mimi Boutique, Brown thrifted Bebe skirt via Crossroads Trading, Black clutch c/o Lancaster Paris, Brown Zara heels.

I saw this high-waisted skirt while thrifting and reminded me so much of Missoni with the cool chevron pattern.  I love finding unique and interesting pieces whenever out at vintage or thrift stores. Decided to accessorize with all silver and a pop of color with this gorgeous turquoise ring from Mimi Boutique.

I'm leaning more towards pencil skirts now that I'm working in a corporate office.  It's always a new feeling to dress for both work and on days I'm off -- this is kind of a hybrid outfit I guess ;P.  Just getting used to all different lengths and not wearing sheer etc. in that environment -- one day though hope to mix work and play in dressing up everyday!  (:crossing fingers: when I work at a fashion magazine in NYC?) ;).

Apologies for hiatus, last weekend was my bday weekend!  Can't believe I'm 22 now, time seriously flies.  September also marks the 2nd year of Inspirafashion's bday!  I'm just really happy to say that I've had the most rewarding and amazing experience running this blog and having this journey with you Lovelies! And happy to say, I've met so many inspiring people along the way these past 2 years, including now really great friends in the blogosphere and in-person.  Big thank you and bear-hugs out to you all xoxo.
