Polly Dolly v2: Masquerade (Week 19)
This week's theme is pretty cool. How would you dress up for a masquerade ball?
At first I wanted to work my look around a pair of these gorgeous Gucci heels I saw on the Polyvore home page but once I saw this beautiful elegant ombre gown, I could help but have the look surround the dress instead.
I paired the gown with an intricate venetian mask, a pair of understated jewel earrings, a jewel and lattice statement cocktail ring and a pair of glittery brown heels.
For make up, I didn't want to much going on since the mask is already such a statement piece and decided on a black smokey eye with lush lashes paired with a light orange tone lipstick. To complete the look, I added a dark wine nail polish as well. A spritz of a sexy fragrance and we're all set to go.
Polly Dolly v2: Hippie (Week 18)
It's been awhile since my last Polly Dolly set and since this week's theme was Hippie, I almost didn't put up a set since I'm not quite familiar with the style. Anyways, I decided to play it safe with a comfortable jersey maxi dress paired with gladiator sandals and an assymetric shoulder bag. For accessories, I felt like it should be kept simple so I went for the feather braided headband and a chunky cuff bracelet.
As far as beauty was concern, I felt that it was best to go completely au naturel with only a moisturizing lip balm and sheer sun block. To complete the ensemble, I threw in a casual scent as well.
Polly Dolly: Little Black Dress (Week 52)
I've been missing a few of these challenges (which I would probably be doing and will be shown on my Polyvore page here) but here's the latest one with the theme "Little Black Dress" for the Week 52 Challenge:
Instead of going for a more classic look, I figured why not add a neon pop to the outfit? Since spring is all about color blocking this year, I opted for neon green patent pumps and a 3 tone neon yellow top bag. For a bit more contrast, I picked out a gorgeous dangling gradient toned crystal earring piece and a complementing cluster ring paired with a simple black & gold watch.
The make up is understated with a soft blush and highlight, voluminous lashes
, a tint of peach on the lips and electric blue
rimming the lower lashes (black
on the upper lash line). To complete the look, I decided on a nude beige nail polish

This week's Polly Dolly challenge is to create a look around the maxi skirt.
Week 47 Challenge : Maxi Skirt by elixelle on Polyvore.com
Since the maxi skirt I chose has a lot of volume to it, I picked out a fitted denim vest over top a simple floral cotton tank top worn with dark brown flip flops and dark brown leather bag (top handle/long strap). I decided to go with simple clean accessories: light aviator sunglasses, leather cuffs and a hot pink enamel and gold bangle. For make up, I wanted it to be beautiful and natural (but obviously with a bold statement) so I selected the blush bronze duo -- light blush for the cheeks, bronzer for contouring the eyes and cheeks, and a gorgeous hot pink lipstick to finish off the look. Here I've chosen just an SPF with argan oil but you can always go for a tinted moisturizer instead. The look is laid back, casual and most importantly comfortable. Head out with long loose curls (or a loose bun) to complete the look.

Polly Dolly: Clever Contrast
I've been following quite a few of these Polyvore weekly challenges on my cousin's blog and had always wanted to give it a shot. So it's not entirely beauty related but I figured since my header also says fashion, why not have some fun with this.
Theme: Clever Contrast
The theme was inspired by the movie Black Swan and I haven't gone to see the movie yet since it isn't out here til the 24th. Anyhow, going by the whole contrast idea and a hint of the black swan theme, I decided on a bold yet delicate contrast. I just fell in love with the Betsey Johnson soft pink with off white lace strapless dress I built this set around it. I think the dress has a ballerina quality to it and is absolutely gorgeous. Then I decided to pair it with the Paris Hilton Bonita white satin peep toe heels with a single satin flower and Just Cavalli off white leather studded clutch for some edge. For accessories, I thought the Michael Kors Baguette-Bezel rose gold wristwatch looked stunning and complemented the dress beautifully while a pair of simple John Richard crystal daisy flower stud earrings would tie the look together without being too overpowering. For a bit of contrast, I chose this gorgeous skinny thin black satin wrapped metal headband with turquoise feathers and jewels. Make up is pretty simple but connects with the whole contrast concept I was going for. A teal-turquoise eyeliner (Flipside
from Urban Decay) and a pinkish nude lip color (as used in Temptalia's look here). Last but not least, a nice light turquoise nail polish, the ever popular China Glaze For Audrey
.That was definitely fun. Can't wait to try out the next challenge. What is your interpretation for this challenge theme?
