Simi in NYC


Hey Pretty People!
A fashion post today!
This look is inspired by my one of my top favorite fragrances "NYC by Sarah Jessica Parker. lately and
I call this look "Simi in NYC.
The jewelry is gold/black with pops of pink, & red.
You can choose whatever makeup style you prefer. But a little more dramatic eyes (FAIRYDROPS SCANDAL QUEEN) would be amazing for this look. For lips use.. MAC Dazzleglass in "Love Alert".
For nails I used the shade By O.P.I. - "California Raspberry".
Alexander McQueen Studded Cage Pump With Horn Heel shoes add the perfect completion to this look.
The fragrance/perfume choose the "NYC By SJP". So addictive!
I've been loving the Starbucks Bottled Vanilla Frappuccino Coffee Drink, so I pair it with this look!
For the hairstyle you can style it in big gorgeous curls would be beautiful.
Hope you like it!
