The shimmery statement eyes were stunning at Dior F/W 2014. Normally shows only have one beauty look, so it was fun to see both the bright blue and greenish gold go down the runway.

If you're bold enough to attempt this look (major props to you!), I suggest playing around with M·A·C Eyeshadow in Electric Eel and/or M·A·C Pigment in Old Gold.

This street style star was spotted sporting a white ruffle sleeved statement blouse, red side-stripe track pants, and black mule flats. The more unique the shirt, the better the look.

How to Wear a Statement Coat for Winter

Every fall and winter I get excited to see what statement coats pop up, especially from Nanushka. This year I came across this beautiful houndstooth coat and fell in love. Best part is, it's a reversible coat so it's like having two stylish coats in one. Here's how I'd wear the coat this season—With black cat-eye sunglasses, chunky hoop earrings, a tiny black bag, classic black jeans, and statement two-tone ankle boots. Complete the look with a cozy black turtleneck sweater.

I don't know about you, but something about a frilly, maximalist statement blouse screams, "French Riviera getaway!" to me. During the warmer months, layers lessen and pieces need to give you more of a punch in less fabric. That's when an out-of-the-box blouse comes in handy. Nothing says summer quite like these pretty white blouses, especially when paired with a printed silk skirt or a cool light-weight trouser.
