Celebrity Style: Rita Ora

zimbio

Known for her bleach blonde hair and red lips, British singer and songwriter Rita Ora keeps her fashion funky and vibrant at all times.  The 21 year old is signed with Roc Nation and is currently out with a song called R.I.P (watch the video here). In my opinion, her style is definitely a mix between Gwen Stefani and Rihanna. I love her edginess and glammed up tomboy look! 

My Wednesday Work Style

Shirt and Skirt: Forever 21, Necklace and Belt: H&M, Heels: Madeline Stuart purchased at Ross, Watch: Michael Kors

Yes, I am a repeat skirt-wearing offender. I wore this same skirt here, but I just love it! I purchased this skirt about 5 years ago from Forever 21, and still to this day, get so many compliments on it. It is just so versatile! I have also been testing out my Cortex 4-N-One curling wand, so hopefully my hair looks somewhat wavy (as these were taken at the end of the day). Hope everyone had a nice Wednesday work day!

City Chic Look

Bardot peplum top, $62 / Miu Miu jersey top, $710 / dVb Victoria Beckham super skinny jeans / Casadei platform heels / Jimmy Choo high heel shoes / Hermès black bag / Tory Burch necklace / Susan Caplan Vintage vintage earrings, $735 / New York City

Here is a great inspiration board if you are looking for a going out style. Peplum tops are extremely popular right now, and quite flattering on many body types, so that would be a great go-to top. Black denim will always looks dressed up and polished, while still being comfortable so these jeans would be a great option for wandering around the city. Add a few great accessories and some sexy pumps, and you are out the door looking fab!

New Purchase: Cortex 4-N-One Curling Iron Set

Groupon was having a huge sale on this Cortex 4-N-One Curling Iron Set and after quickly looking up reviews on the product, I decided to purchase it. This curling wand comes with 4 different wand sizes for you to achieve any type of curls you want! I will do a product review once I have tested this product out, and include photos for you! I hope it works and the curls hold for me.

My New Hair Color!

After going back and forth for months about dying my hair lighter and debating on trying an ombre style, I decided to ease into lighter hair. I wanted a change from my go-to black hair color, so I decided to incorporate some peek-a-boo highlights underneath my hair. My hairstylist added some dark caramel highlights and I am definitely happy with the outcome. The peek-a-boo highlights are a perfect way for me to get used to lighter hair.

Celebrity Style: Olivia Munn

I am a huge fan of Olivia Munn's look. She always looks fabulous and put together, but never over done. Plus, she has, without a doubt, the most amazing figure. 

Born Lisa Olivia Munn, in Oklahoma City, Munn is of Chinese, German and Irish descent and was raised most of her childhood in Tokyo, Japan. She is most recently recognized for her steamy role in the film Magic Mike!
