Windswept

It's cold and windy and every morning feels 'casual'. Here's a casual yet stylish look for these end-of-winter days.

These slimming, soft stretch jeans from AVON are the closest thing you can get to 'sweatpant jeans' minus the tack. Paired with a cozy long sweater and a floral scarf for that extra a pop of color, this look is perfect for casual days.

Add a little pizazz when running last minute errands with Paula Abdul's newest totebag to her FOREVER collection.

Blue Velvet

It's funny how one item can make or break a look. I fell in love with these Blue Velvet Booties when I saw them on Polyvore. There were tons of style ideas. There are still many weeks of winter ahead of us but these booties will be just as stylish on those brisk early Spring Days.

For this particular look, I wanted something more 'everyday'. Paired with a chunky winter sweater and jeans, this look can easily be turned into something fabulous rather than ordinary with some select jewelry pieces.

The mark Weave It To Me Necklace is such a bold statement. It was challenging at first to style, but then I began to fall in love with the intricately woven colors. It completes this look and adds a bit of 'Spring' to it while still keeping the whole ensemble relevant.

The mark Classic Hit Handbag makes it's second consecutive appearance. I love it's classic shape but contemporary color and texture. It adds sophistication to many looks, while it's white hot color keeps it fresh.

New to the collection is the mark Ring Me In Double Rings. These trendy accents are big this season and add just the right amount of edge to any look.

Top it off with dark lips and the light warm scent of mark's Jewel perfume.

Let's kick the week off on a fierce note. I'm stocking up on Spring essentials because I've come to resolve that it will be here in no time. Of course though, these fierce printed pants can be pared with a cozy sweater and boots until then.

 I was not so much a believer in the Leopard print, but after browsing around through Pinterest, my mind was quickly changed. This bold print can be pretty versatile and always daring. Here's a more laid back look.

Most outfits that feature Leopard print are paired with black or white tops. It does give this print a more 'everyday' vibe, but I did add some contrasting color to make it a bit more special. Try deep emerald two-toned shoes to give a pop of color, and youth to the look with an edgy jacket, like studded denim.  Pull it all together with a bold and trendy ribbon necklace.

For an extra flirty, fresh feel, use mark's Lemon Sugar Body Butter- it awakens the senses and gets your stylish day started!

Cool Weather Work

There are still many cold weeks ahead before Spring. This winter weather may seem endless, but beat the winter doldrums with Avon's newest makeup collection!

I incorporated a lot of warm winter shades in this look. Avon's latest fragrance Passion is a bold statement of sparkling star fruit, sensual jasmine and alluring vanilla bourbon and creamy musk. It is a has a 'warmth' to it's scent without being harsh or too strong.

When it comes to makeup in winter, be careful that your products are not harsh on your skin. The new Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick is a perfect blend of moisturizing ingredients and bold colors.

Another star product in this collection is the Avon Lash Conditioner and Primer. This helps protect the lashes from the cold weather and the drying effects of mascara.
