Jule's Gems: Revlon Black Cherry Lipstick

I am never one to shy away from a bold color lip, nothing can change up a make up look more then the lip color. It can take your look from day to night in an instant! Check out Adele's make up below, at the 2012 Grammy's for some of her performances she went for a softer look and  rockin a nude color lip and then at other times during the same night she went with a red lip which kicked her look up to old Hollywood glamour va va voom!

On a typical day a bold red lip is my go to, but recently I've been loving the deep dark purple red lip trend over the bright red one. The same look that Khloe Kardashian is rockin below.

Revlon's Black Cherry Lipstick is the closest drug store dupe I could find to getting to this color, and I love it! It's a matte formula that can be worn day or night. If at night just put on a couple extra layers to give it that extra deep and bold look.

At a first glance the color of the lipstick itself is intimidating because it almost looks black, but don't let it fool you when applied it gives a gorgeous deep purpley red.

Don't cut out your cut out options

I love the cut out dress style! But let's be real, not all of us can rock the cut out dress look with the fierce confidence of Kim Kardashian as seen below. 

So instead pair a great cut out dress with a pop of color blouse to peep through the cut outs! Problem solved! Your welcome.

Necklace: Buckle

Pink & Green, If you know what I mean??

The title of this post has no meaning, it was the only phrase I could think of that rhymed and was applicable to my outfit. So there you go!

Big Black Rock Ring: Francesca's

Jule's Gems: Literary Luncheon Dress

Modcloth's Literary Luncheon Dress is a must have garment every fashionista should own! It's one of the highest rated dresses on their website and I can most def see why. I ordered this dress in a size large online and found it true to size exactly! It comes in every size from small to 4XL. The beautiful black and white stripes on the top and mustard gold on the bottom compliments any hair color and the way it cinches in at the waist is very forgiving. 

I paired my dress with a fedora hat and elephant necklace, keeping my accessories minimal to prevent my look from being too busy. You can't see it in the picture below but I am also wearing black tights and heels along with it. 

The price of the dress is a bit out of my price range as far as how much I normally spend on dresses but it was worth the price! The fabric of the dress is thick and durable which is great because I will be wearing the heck out of the dress this Fall!
