BAM: Makeup and fashion, Gossip Girl

 Blair Walforf rocking some yellow. Cardigan by Milly, gold dress, yellow accessories. I love vintage brocade/metallic dresses, and never considered pairing one with a matching cardigan/bag in the non-metallic version of the colors. It definitely speaks of confidence when colors/patterns are mixed fearlessly, and the look succeeds best when kept feminine and tailored/prim.

 Love this lip, by far my favorite color of Season 3 ("Dan de Fleurette"). Love the garnet and ruby necklace with it, especially since the rest of the outfit was grey/silver.

Try: wine sinner from Lipstick Queen, or a fuchsia and ruby red mix...yum!

Matching lip to necklace/earrings/hair clip, etc, while keeping attire neutral/monochromatic is a gorgeous look, and very sophisticated when done right.
