This limited edition collection of color correcting primers and concealers helps get ride of acne spots, dark spots, and dry skin. What's so great about this line is that it has a Color Correct Expert Stick, Radiant Primer, and Expert Creme Wand for every skin tone (they all come in six different shades).

I have to say, the primer is fantastic. The yellow tinted primer helps neutralize redness in your skin...and it really, really works.The best part is they are only $5 each!

Don't forget that this line is a limited edition...so get it while you can. Hard Candy is available at Walmart.

89th Academy Awards- What I Hope They Wear

They day I've been waiting for is finally here. Oscar Sunday!!! Yes, this is my Superbowl. There is nothing like watching the amazing fashions on my favorite celebs while they walk down the red carpet. Honestly, I'm more excited about that than the actual award show.

I put together my top five favorite looks that I hope grace the red carpet (and best dressed lists). This year I hope to see some bold looks. I want to see FASHION...nothing mediocre. I Hollywood steps up their game and brings it! Let me know what you all think of my picks.

Michelle Williams in Chanel Spring 2017 Couture

Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa Fall 2017 Ready-To-Wear

Naomie Harris in Armani Prive Spring 2017 Couture

Charlize Theron in Marchesa Fall 2017 Ready-To-Wear

Emma Stone in Jenny Packham Fall 2017 Ready-To-Wear

Will you be watching today? I am having a few girls over today for a pre-red carpet party. Looking forward to having some drinks, talking some fashion & celebrity gossip, and playing some games. Be sure you follow along on my social media as I'm sure I'll be posting!

Twinning in Gingham

Sometimes I like to make my dog dress to match me. Go ahead, roll your eyes. But I think it's adorable...and Rocko is really a good sport about it. Well, usually.

I absolutely love gingham! Gingham is plaid's cuter cousin. Add in some ruffle details and you have the perfect girly dress for spring.

Another trend I'm totally digging lately is metallic shoes. No matter if they are silver (my favorite), gold, or rose gold...grab a pair and you'll be looking so on point. The great thing is that they go with everything!

Happy Saturday everyone!!!

Dear Snapshot Fashion...

One of my favorite things about having a blog is when I hear from readers. Whether it be content feedback, info on new trends/designers, or emails regarding style advice...I love it all. That engagement between blogger and reader is what keeps me going.

I got an email from a reader the other day requesting some style advice, and thought I'd share an excerpt from it along with my tips.

Hi Diane,

My name is Amanda and I'm a twenty six year old dance teacher from Chicago, I teach mostly ballet and some tap and jazz. Sooo at work I don't get to dress up as I'm in my dance attire and outside of work I am stuck in a total rut consisting of jeans, leggings and boots. I made a New Years resolution that I will greatly expand my wardrobe and start wearing dresses and skirts as much as I can and also try to get away from black and add more color. Being in Chicago it gets very cold and windy here so tights are a must with any skirt or dress but I feel like that's good because it adds another accessory and color to add to my outfit. I came up with some outfits I was thinking of trying but really need your guidance and opinion. Any help would be much appreciated.

-Amanda

The four outfits Amanda is needing some advice on are: outerwear and legwear options to pair with a floral romper (other than black), shoes to finish off a pale pink and pastel green look, a cozy sweater dress and knit tights look, and pieces on finishing off a black leather skirt/red tights look. Let me tell you something Amanda...I am so impressed with your outfit ideas!

I feel like I am in the same boat as you are: always wearing black. It's a tough habit to break, as black is so easy, chic, and on trend. Colors can be tricky. But I have to say I have been adding more and more colors to my looks thus far this year, and it just adds something more to your outfits.

OUTFIT #1- Romper/Tights/Outerwear

Yes I think pairing a black leather jacket and black tights would be the most simple option. But you can totally make this more fun with color. Draw colors from the floral romper. If you have a romper with purple and blue flowers wear some purple tights and a navy jacket. A simple switch like that will make your outfit look so much more interesting.

OUTFIT #2- Pairing Shoes with Pastel Hues

This is definitely a bit trickier, as you don't want to come across looking like an Easter egg! I would recommend doing either of the following: match your shoes to your tights or wear a metallic flat. Metallic shoes are actually very much on trend right now, and the best thing is they go with practically everything! 

OUTFIT #3- Sweater Dress & Knit Tights

I love the idea of this combo together...but I would be careful. I've tried something similar in the past and depending on the cut of the dress it can get caught up in the knit tights...leaving you in an embarrassing situation. My suggestion is that if you are going to pair these two that you have the sweater dress be a little more on the loose side.

OUTFIT #4- Leather + Red

I love red and black together. Now I know you said you are trying to get away from wearing black...but I would totally do a classic black high heel and a sexy black top with this. To top it all off I would put on my absolute favorite creme lip stain in Always Red.

Amanda, I hope my suggestions helped a little. I'd love to see your final looks!
