blue nile 'leave nothing to chance' $50 giveaway!

Leave Nothing to Chance.

I can't help but to love the sentiment behind such a statement. Especially during the holiday season, when you're hoping to receive a gift that is fully and completely you. Thus the reason why I'm smitten with the Leave Nothing to Chance initiative that Blue Nile has implemented for the holidays. Here's a little more info...

"Let’s face it, sometimes {often} subtle hints don’t work. This holiday, Blue Nile is offering people the option to Leave Nothing to Chance, which is a highly visual and interactive personality quiz that uses a scientific algorithm for people to identify their personal style, receive a personalized infographic and a few product recommendations that they can share on social media. Think a personality quiz meets Fashion Week and a horoscope. It’s extremely accurate and a lot of fun to play. Those who play will also be entered to win a three carat diamond tennis bracelet!"

I took the quiz myself, and was found to be a Timeless Original {check out the awesome infographic that was generated for me below}:


Now that you've learned more about the Blue Nile Leave Nothing to Chance holiday initiative, let's bring on the prizes!

As mentioned above, all of those who take the quiz are entered to win a three carat diamond tennis bracelet; but there's more...

cat eyes & skinny jeans has partnered with Blue Nile to bring one {1} lucky reader a $50.00 Gift Certificate to Blue Nile. Spend it on yourself, spend it on your loved ones...either way it's the perfect gift for the holidays. Ready, set, enter!

sole society holiday picks!

Sole Society is a shop that I have dubbed chic headquarters, for the simple fact
that everything they offer is on trend with a healthy side of classic / timeless aesthetics.
It took a bit of time to narrow down some of my absolute faves for the holidays;
but...mission accomplished. Take a peek at my top holiday picks below.
Gift them to your girlfriends, or slip them under the tree for yourself {I won't tell}.

ss holiday
ONE: Kaila Block Heel Bootie in Amaretto {$89.95} TWO: Rhea Vegan Messenger {$49.95} THREE: Miranda Wedge Bootie in Chocolate {$64.95} FOUR: Starburst Crystal Earring in Gunmetal {$24.95} FIVE: Amaris Structured Mini Tote in Wine Black and Tan Black {$39.95} SIX: Skinny Love Bracelet Set in Oxblood Black {$22.95}

1} Kaila Block Heel Bootie in Amaretto {$89.95} A high-fashion heel at a budget fashionista price. The chunky heel makes them comfortable for all-day wear; while the buckled detailing contributes the perfect subtle yet sophisticated embellishment.

2} Rhea Vegan Messenger {$49.95} Wear it crossbody, over the shoulder, or tote it top-handle - the versatility in wear is just as appealing as the contrasting color braided details.

3} Miranda Wedge Bootie in Chocolate {$64.95} Nothing says cozy like a kiss of faux-shearling. Pssst...Vanessa Hudgens has this very pair in her shoe collection.

4} Starburst Crystal Earring in Gunmetal {$24.95} A striking contrast to the standard star aesthetic. Pair them with faux-leather looks for a touch of femininity; or basic denim for a hint of glamour.

5} Amaris Structured Mini Tote in Wine Black or Tan Black {$39.95} Sophisticated, chic, classic...this tote fulfills all of the above - in either color. And at such an affordable price point, I recommend buying both. 'Tis the season!

6} Skinny Love Bracelet Set in Oxblood Black {$22.95} Wear them solo or stacked; either way will elevate your style in 3, 2, 1...


Which piece would you love to gift or receive?

december crush list!

You know the drill...here's a glimpse at a few of the things
I'm crushing on for December.

december

1. horn necklaces Long or short pendant necklaces are the simplest {yet seriously stunning} way to add personality to basic, un-embellished slouchy sweaters {total fall and winter staple, yes?}. This season I'm loving horn necklaces. They're a little bit edgy, a little bit bohemian, and super sophisticated and chic. Topping my list are the Adia Kibur Horn Necklace in Gold, Michael Kors Pave Tortoise Horn Pendant Necklace in Tortoise Gold, Kenneth Jay Lane Gold Horn Necklace in Gold, and Michael Kors Pave Horn Pendant Necklace in Gold / Clear.

2. thigh-highs Blame it on my love of over the knee boots, but one of my favorite styles is a thigh-high sock layered underneath a classic riding or motorcycle boot {so the sock peeks up over the top of the shaft}. Style Free People's Snowflake Ribbed Thigh High Socks in Black Combo {also available in Pink Combo} alongside black skinny jeans and a black/white marled chunky knit sweater; or pair Free People's 'Mixed Media' Thigh High Socks in Black Combo {also available in Mint Combo} with a simple skater skirt and oversized cardi. Such a playful aesthetic!

3. {holiday} liquid sand I fell in love with OPI's Liquid Sand formula via The Bond Girls Mini Collection earlier this year. For the holidays I'm digging the latest releases in the Mariah Carey collection which range from naughty to nice. My three favorite shades are Kiss Me At Midnight {a silver-laced cobalt blue that would be gorgeous for New Year's} and Emotions {a chic coal black} from the OPI Mariah Carey Liquid Sand Mini 3 PC - Dark Collection, and Baby Please Come Home {a lilac-toned charcoal gray} from the OPI Mariah Carey Liquid Sand Mini 3 PC - Light Collection.

4. fringe embellishments Fringe is a total throwback embellishment that will forever be in fashion. It adds the perfect dash of bohemia, free spirit, free love, Penny Lane, I'm-with-the-band vibe to your wardrobe without being too retro. I love it as a trim on handbags, boots, and sweaters. My current pick? The Free People Fringe Cardigan in Red Multi Combo {also available in Light Neutral Combo}. Layer it over a slinky slip dress or couple it with denim - so cozy.

5. block heel booties Classic. That is the number one way to describe block heel booties. I've seen them worn off the runway by Karlie Kloss during Fashion Week and they've popped up time and time again in collections by Rachel Zoe and KORS Michael Kors. My top pick is the Sole Society Kaila Block Heel Bootie in Black and Amaretto {also available in Ash}. It's so high fashion yet ridiculously affordable {so you can buy it in multiple colors - hint hint}.

NOTD: Essie Vested Interest

Two coats of Essie Vested Interest. Cool Gray Teal.

If you were to bottle the color of pine trees you would have Essie's Vested Interest {perfect for Christmas, right?}. The formula here enters seriously awesome territory in that it is most definitely a crème; but it has that built-in ultra-glossiness of a jelly. Two coats of color brings you to full opacity. So gorgeous for winter!

kat graham for mark 10 to watch!

Something you may not know about me...I am a HUGE fan of Kat Graham.
Her red carpet looks are the epitome of fierce; her vocals are gorgeous {listen to Power here}; and I'm convinced her Vampire Diaries' character, Bonnie, deserves her own spinoff. So...learning that Kat is covering the latest magalog as part of mark's 10 to Watch
campaign? We're talking super. exciting. moment.

GET THE COVER LOOK: To begin, makeup artist Jamie Greenburg prepped the lid using I-mark Wet/Dry Metallic Eye Shadow in Truffle. Jamie followed this up by applying a layer of Earn Your Metal Liquid Shimmer Eyeliner in Electric Blue to the Upper Eyelid, and Earn Your Metal Liquid Shimmer Eyeliner in Copper Flash to the Lower Lashline. Use Ultrablack Mascara to add depth to the look.


"I live for a fierce cat eye, so liquid liner is my absolute must-have. This one is easy to use and the metallic shades offer a cool new way for me to get my favorite look."
Kat Graham




“I'm passionate about being somewhat of a renaissance woman, and I hope to continue to grow in both acting and music. My biggest dream is to empower the world through my art.”
Kat Graham
