Saturday night, Mr. Forstadt and I had an event at the Ace Gallery in Beverly Hills. Rather than opting for a LBD, I wore a frilled sleeve bodysuit and pants… even better, they were super budget-friendly and cost less than $45 combined! I paired them with some Target heels, a thrifted vintage clutch, and a layered lariat necklace to break up the black!

After I saw Naomi Campbell’s glittery red lips at the VMAs, I knew I had to get my hands on the magical lip kit made by the master makeup artist, Pat McGrath. After constantly refreshing her website the the day it launched, I successfully got it into by shopping cart and checked out! It was also released at Sephora the following week and sold out, but I have a feeling they will restock it. Link to its page below…

Anyway, I did a more toned-down version (without the gold pigment beneath the glitter) and was so happy with the way it looked in-person. What do you think?
