One of the few things I like about winter is the ability to dress in very dark colors without looking like you hate the world. Black, deep purple and dark red have always been my favorites for the months of snowfall (not that I don’t wear black every day, regardless of the season). And as clothing gets darker and heavier, so does winter makeup. Black cherry lips have been popping up everywhere. M.A.C. shows it worn with electric yellow eyeshadow to brighten up the face. Christina Aguilera looked pin-up pretty wearing it in the most glamorous way at the American Music Awards. I always think I don’t look good in red lipstick, but this is a color I really want to try this season.
I stole my first pair of platforms from the Spice Bus in 1997 when Anglophilia was all the rage. Collector of vintage bags, vinyl and kitchen appliances. My dream of becoming a butcher is momentarily on hiatus so I can teach you how to wear muumuus and apply false eyelashes. Follow me on Twitter @CrystlMeatballs.
