Outfits for All Occasions

Let’s face it, ladies, we wear many fabulous hats in our busy lives, and sometimes it feels like there just aren’t enough minutes in the day! Who has time to run home to consult her closet before the next iCalendar commitment? That’s why strategic style is an essential element of a well-balanced fashion diet for every gal-on-the-go. It’s all about starting with a foundational ensemble that you can build on (or in some cases, deconstruct!) to take you through from day to night!

Day to Night Accessories

It’s All in the Bag

To avoid the frenzy between the play date that ran late and your dinner date, keep your Mary Poppins purse stocked with a few key pieces that can transform your look in just enough time to make an eye-catching entrance. Bold jewelry like chunky gold chains, cocktail rings, and sparkly studs can a bring life to an otherwise drab daytime outfit. Wash the woes of the day away with a simple spritz of your favorite purse size perfume (we love Burberry Body!). And don’t forget a cute clutch for your evening out so you can leave your day-to-night supplies safely in your carryall tote.

In the makeup bag …

  • Your cheeks might say bashful during the day, but at night, a little rouge can go a long way! Nars All-In-One Face Color is perfect to glam up the night! (And we love that it works great on lips and eyes too!)
  • Create a shadow effect by dabbing your finger in a darker shadow and smoothing over your lid. Dior’s 5 Colour Eyeshadow in Gris provides the perfect palette for evening drama.
  • Choose a mascara that’s a shade darker than your hair, and add an extra coat for dramatic, longer than life lashes. We recommend Lancome Hypnose.
  • Highlight your smile with your favorite va va voom lip color! This season is all about deep reds and hottest pinks!
