heat wave




mcq for target cardigan, t by alexander wang tank, thrifted pants from ramonawest, aldo shoes
What I wore today for Father's Day brunch and to bum around Target. The other day I had an odd craving for color on my lips so I stopped in Sephora and found this perfect shade of lipstick (Nars Heat Wave). It's actually a bit more orange in person, which I love. Sort of reminds me of the shade they used at Dries for F/W. I've actually been thinking of getting a full on, obnoxiously bright shade of orange too. Any suggestions?
Also, this week I'll be volunteering at the Humane Society so I'll be pretty much absent from the blog. Just a heads up. :)

Great outfit, as always.
You can pull of red lips VERY well.

SHL said...

Wow i love the lips, I have to say that bright lipstick is fun because you can just swipe it on, and put on mascara and you are done. No primping needed. And yes get the orange, because if you can pull it off then do it. But people may...ask you what you were eating or something.
I recommend volunteering at Pixie Project. They need it and have flexible times!

M said...

Great outfit!! Love the bright red lips and the pants!

alanna said...

try blindingly red lipstick. i have it, and im a bit pale, and it looks fabb. orange is great too!

corrie said...

Nars makes the best lip color. I love the pencils, the color doesn't budge even after several drinks and kisses.

Hotness.

Amanda said...

the color is fab on you! i have a bright orange from MAC but it's from a few seasons ago. if it's not in store anymore though, try ebay

this outfit is everything i love - simple yet striking pieces. that pop of colour is just the icing on the cake - you have an amazing eye for beautiful pieces. i think this outfit is my favourite. you are so lucky to have a store which sells mcqueen stuff. i live in the uk and have had no such luck!!

http://lisa-smalldetails.blogspot.com/

Jadey said...

possibly one of my favorite outfits produced by you :) the lipstick is perfect an even riskier brighter orange would look absolutly gorgeous on you!
the only thing that i have a slight problem with, is the hem of the pants (although this could just be because im not seeing the outfit in full view) they seem a few inches too short to really finish of the outfit.
besides that, i love it!

If you were to get an orange lipstick, I'd suggest a coral type of shade..
The simplicity of your outfits is perfect BTW.

Isabel said...

Dude, you look soooo good in lipstick. I love this look - I've really been feeling your simplicity lately.

Sally said...

I never manage to have red lipstick stay on for too long.

I'll walk out of my house thinking "YES! FIERCE!!!", then I'll get a few disapproving stares when I'm walking around outside and immediately try and wipe the stuff off.

You rock it pretty well.

I love the red shade you have on now! So fab! Def try an obnoxious orange. Try "pinkish orange 403" from Make Up For Ever @ Sephora. It looks awesome on!

I like it!!! I also have Nars heat wave. I think U look good in Nars Jungle Red as well with your skin tone. Chanel reds are good picks, but U have to try each of them to get the right one.

white mice said...

I've been wearing heat wave for a long time! Glad you found the beauty of Nars' color palette. Heat Wave can be a little dry at times, try the fat pencil Red Square (though not every counter will carry it) or So Chaud from MAC. They are my signatures.

swallow glitter said...

impeccable outfit. you could try morange lipstick from mac, it's an excellently pigmented orange. when going for an orange lipstick consider a lip pencil in a complimentary shade to prevent bleeding around the edges of the lips.
