I'm Loving...

The style blog hrhcollection.net! I love it when I discover a fashion blog that inspires me and that I enjoy reading. I recently discovered the blog hrhcollection.net, and I think it's one of my new favorite blogs to read. I think Alex is so cute and I love her style. Not only does Alex write her blog, but she also has a youtube channel and she also makes her own jewelry. So, if you are looking for some fashion and beauty inspiration you should definitely check her out.

Sephora's Friends and Family Sale

It's time for Sephora.com's yearly Friends and Family sale. Use the code FF2010 at checkout to get 20% off your purchase until November 3.

This is a good time to stock up on your favorite products, so I thought I'd share with you some of my favorites.  (Click on the images to purchase at Sephora.com)

1. Smashbox Halo Hydrating Foundation

I love this hydrating powder foundation. It's easy to use and it offers good coverage. I normally use it alone with my concealer as my daily foundation, but I've also used it over a tinted moisturizer if I need more coverage.

2. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat

I love to use this to brighten up dark under eye circles. I use it over my concealer throughout the day for touchups.

3. LAVANILA Mini Roller Ball Set

I love vanilla scented fragrances, and these are no exception. I always have one of these mini roller ball fragrances with me in my purse and I also keep one in my desk at work.

This is also a good time to start holiday shopping. Check out these beauty gift sets that Sephora offers.

I'm sure you know that a LBD (Little Black Dress) is a fashion staple and should be part of everyone's wardrobe. But sometimes it's hard to think of ways to liven up your standard LBD. If you need a some style inspiration, take a cue from Sarah Jessica Parker. I love the way she spiced up her LBD with some polka dot tights and a silver statement necklace.

Here are some options if you want to try this look out:

Platforms by Bebe

Black Dresses by BCBGMAXAZRIA
Platforms by Steve Madden

New Header Design

Hello everyone! I am excited to debut the new header design for my blog. The header was designed by the very talented Sara Bentley. Sara has a great blog Purses, Pastries, Etc... I always enjoy reading her blog, and I especially love her illustrations. I wasn't sure what I wanted as the design for my header, so I asked Sara to take inspiration from my blog. She came up with the idea of a great shopping spree, which I think is very fitting. What do you think of the new header?

Thanks again Sara! Be sure to visit Sara's blog for more fashion and great illustrations!

P.S. I recently created a Facebook page for Alegria. You can find me here!

I'm Loving....

Suede pumps for Fall! Suede is a great way to update the look of a basic pump. I'm really loving suede pumps in neutrals like taupe, gray or black. I also really like suede pumps in a bright jewel tone.

I bought these grape suede pumps from Urban Outfitters last spring and I love them. They are comfortable and they add a pop of color to many outfits. This pump also comes in many other colors like red, yellow, and your basic black or nude.







Check out how celebrities have been wearing suede pumps around town:

Have You Heard of Birchbox Yet?

I have to admit that I am a beauty junkie. I have always loved makeup and cosmetics, and I'm alway looking for new products to try. I recently heard about Birchbox.com on Twitter, and it is the perfect thing for me. Birchbox is a website that will send you at least four deluxe beauty samples every month for just $10 a month. Birchbox is a great way to try new beauty products for a low price, and if you like one of the products you can buy it directly from their site. Some of the cosmetic brands that Birchbox has offered are Nars, Korres, and Benefit. Birchbox also awards loyalty points for referring your friends, among other things. Visit Birchbox.com to sign up or to get more information.

Go Wild for Fall

If you need something to liven up your wardrobe for Fall, just add something in a leopard print.  Animal prints are really hot for Fall, and the best way to incorporate them into your wardrobe is with a leopard print shoe or accessory.  If you're not sure about how to wear leopard prints,  just look at how celebrities are wearing the trend.

If you like the idea of a leopard print shoe, check out how Kim Kardashian and Diane Kruger are wearing them.

You don't only have to wear leopard with black, the print is neutral, so don't be shy about wearing it with other colors.

If you like this style checkout some shoe options below:

Pumps by Ann Taylor
Platforms by Dolce Vita

You can also incorporate leopard print into your wardrobe with a scarf, handbag, or belt.  But please don't wear them all at the same time.  Take a look at how Shakira, Cat Deeley, Rihanna, and Elizabeth Banks are wearing the trend.

Fall is just around the corner, and olive green skinny jeans are one of the many trends for Fall 2010. If you need an idea on how to wear them, check out Kourtney Kardashian's look. She paired them with a white tee, black blazer, and black flats. It's a very cute and comfortable look.
