ttF Fashion Staple: Gemstone Brooch
Between the rain and the cold, Mother Nature has not been cooperating so far for Oscars weekend. Still, the pre-parties must go on. Last night, QVC hosted a red carpet event at the Four Seasons. I went with my blogger pal Kristen and in honor of her DIY fabulousness I did my own DIY project before leaving the house.

I stuck a piece of velcro on the back on my brooch and the flap of my clutch. It took the purse from pretty to red carpet ready in under a minute. And because of the rain, I didn’t even both with my hair. I put it in a ponytail and used my go-to trick of upping the glam factor with a saucy lip, this time adding a touch of gold to the red mix with Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics Mystère lipstick.
