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.

Charlotte Charles in yellow...pt 2

 The wonderfully charming Anna Friel as Charlotte "Chuck" Charles in "Pushing Daisies". Yellow rosette sweater, yellow capri pants, slightly 60s pompadour ponytail finished with ribbon. Just lovely!

Pushing Daisies costumes, Chuck in yellow. Pt 1

Rosette trimmed sleeveless sweater with matching capri pants. This look reminded me of something from a J Crew catalog, and could be replicated with modern pieces fairly easily. The ladylike top and capri pants should match in color, and a flat shoe would look nice.

Vintage party dress in yellow floral (brocade? silk?),  yellow princess coat, vintage scarf and clip on pearl bauble earrings. To achieve this look, shoes, and coat must match, patterns in scarf and dress should also boast a majority of the main color. In this case, yellow, though the outfit would look equally attractive in any color combination, such as bright red, kelly green, aqua, royal blue, etc.

Lipstick most likely Lady Bug by MAC, similar look can be achieved with Revlon's Really Red Matte and Coral 080 (colorburst for shine) or Kiss Me Coral mixed.
