Great Shirt for Spring & Summer!
1 AprFind Your Nude!
19 MarIf you’ve read my What Do I Wear With That? section featured on this blog, then you already know that I feel every woman needs a nude heel- A wedge or flat always work too. Nude shoes literally match EVERYTHING, When I can’t find a shoe to match my ensemble, I always turn to my nude shoes to pull the outfit together. It’s practically like your barefoot and they elongate the legs as well which is a plus. With that being said I think it’s great to find a nude that is similar to your skin tone for a nice fluid look.
Below are many nude shoes in different shades and styles- find your nude!

White Eyeliner To The Rescue!
12 NovLadies do not- I repeat DO NOT be afraid of white eyeliner, it is your friend indeed! White eyeliner has been a makeup artist trick of the trade for decades and like any other product CAN be overdone and look silly but when applied right, white eyeliner instantly gives you a radiant and wide-eyed look. If you want your eyes to POP, this is for you and is great if you have deep-set or small eyes as well. A very effective way to wear white eyeliner is to apply it to your lower waterline (inner rim of your bottom lid). Think of it as a continuation of the “whites” of your eyes……making them bigger and brighter immediately. You can also use white eyeliner as a highlight to brighten up your inner corner tear duct area.
Fair to medium skin looks best with bright white or pearly hued pencils while tan to dark skin looks best with creamy, off white or beige hued pencils.
Feeling daring? Wing it out…..Upper or lower lash line…it’s up to you!
Happy October!
1 OctIt’s October 1st and (in my closet) the official launch of Fall. I live in sunny California so full Fall clothes in September are a no- go, But now that it’s October, the weather is slightly cooling allowing for a few more layers. It’s time for scarves, boots, sweaters, oversized handbags and statement jewelry!!!!! Here are some amazing Fall looks for inspiration!!!!
Like what you see? Stay tuned for upcoming posts on boots and scarves!!!!!

Pretty Teal Eyeliner
20 AugEyeliner is a definite must have product, waking your face up and instantly making your eyes POP! One swoop of colored liner brings a WOW factor to your eyes! If you don’t really wear colored shadows, eyeliner is your “gateway” product. I love all colors but am partial to teal, the beautiful hue goes with many skin tones and eye colors as well. A teal lined eye is bright and fun while remaining very wearable. Simply put, it is pretty on everyone.
Teal eyeliner comes in a variety of forms… good old-fashioned pencil, liquid, gel and cream. Whatever formula you prefer is just fine to achieve this look. You’re not out of luck if you don’t own any of these because as long as you have a flat eyeshadow brush and teal shadow, you can substitute it instead of liner for a similar look.
Some of the many ways to wear teal eyeliner:
Upper lash line
Lower lash line/water line
Rim the entire eye
Pair with neutral eyeshadow (looks great with bronzes,beiges & taupes)
From low-key to dramatic, below are some examples of the many ways to wear this mermaid-chic look. Take note on how great this looks on all skin tones, eye shapes and colors.

Zig Zag
5 AprEvery wardrobe should include at least one zig zag piece. I see zig zag patterns as a kind of stripe gone wild! They are so fun to wear. I’ve been a Missoni fan since I was a kiddo and no zig zag post would be complete without thanking them for opening the zig zag painted door for fellow designers to take inspiration from. I prefer to wear zig zags with solids , sometimes I wear all black with my Missoni flats or a zig zag dress with beige strappy flat sandals and when I’m feeling extra zesty, I’ll pick a color from the zig zag piece that I’m wearing and pair it with a matching flat or clutch to bring it all together for a bold & bright look. Here are some fun zig zag looks to shop.
Zig zag scarf ($6.99), Long sleeve top ($17.80) and black & grey cardigan* Plus size($22.80) all available at Forever21.

Rockin’ Neon in Real Life
1 AprThe neon trend is pretty much the only S/S trend that a LOT of people aren’t fully embracing and understandably so. It’s quite a risk and can easily be a disaster if not done right. I promise neon is wearable in real life. Whether you are new to neon or rocked it throughout the 80’s there are looks that’ll work for you. Accessories for starters: you can add a neon shoe, belt or clutch to your otherwise simple outfit. A bright watch is also a great way to incorporate neon into your look. For neon lovers you can go head to toe in a neon dress while keeping your accessories simple. Here are some neon looks to shop.
