Trend Report: Color Blocking

Luckily, I was born in '89. Therefore, I missed the 80's rave for color blocking.

It's easy to explore its versatility with current trends like stripes to scallops and from leopard to lace. No matter the trend, keep it with you at all times because I can guarantee you'll be reaching for it again!

I've never been one to experiment much with makeup but I went out on a limb and stopped by the MAC makeup counter today at Nordstrom. Throughout the years, I've consistently stuck with Chanel makeup because it is what has worked best with my skin and what I'm the most accustom to. Since I'm not used to wearing a lot of eye makeup, I wanted to find neutral colors that could stand alone as an everyday wear to a blend of multiple colors in order to create a deep 'going out' look. Therefore, I ended up purchasing several items that will allow me to create simply yet chic looks for day and night.
