Prada SS13 Recap

Prada hit the runway to showcase a unique pair of shoes that had a wooden, platform base and her leather ‘glove shoes’, stringed together with colorful ribbon. “Miuccia Prada invents the foot glove,” states Times. In addition to the eye-catching shoesMiuccia presented her spring ’13 collection, mix of many fabrics and textures like satin skirts with fur vests. She told fashion journal WWD her intention was to mix femininity with a bit of edge: “Toughness and the poetic part. I tried to mix them together, because this is mainly what women have to deal with in reality.” Unlike some designers we find Prada’s spring/summer line to be very wearable. There was a Japanese inspired feel to the collection that we really enjoyed. Lastly thatfeminine touch with a stemmed flower printed on, very cute. This collection gets 5 stars for wear ability and 5 for being adorable!

LFW Burberry Prorsum Recap | Spring/ Summer 2013

First to say you couldn't take your eyes off the runway. Lots of great volume in a lot of the pieces. All of the eye catching capes and trenches, doing half the work for the stylist lol. Bailey really outdid himself modernizing the trench coat in this way, beautiful! LOVE the bodysuits, again very modernized from the 60's. Pencil skirts, foil shirts, satin bright, colored wedge heels.. All very well done.

The finale: last walk was very clean as the models lapped in the pieces color order with little bags looked spectacular!

Plus Size Myths

                                                                    “I CAN'T horizontal WEAR STRIPES” Myth! 

I know we don't carry Plus Size clothing as of yet but we can still give style tips!! Plus size woman can wear stripes, and wear them well! After all, horizontal stripes have become a perennial favorite in fashion collections. Vertical stripes are an obvious slimmer. They elongate the body and make you look longer AND leaner. The more common horizontal strip is said to make you look wider. It's the horizontal wide stripe women try to avoid. It's true, a wide horizontal stripe typically has a panel sifting right in the stomach creating that wide effect. BUT WAIT, narrow horizontal stripes does the figure just fine! Also when wearing a horizontal stripe use accents to create illusions. Like a bold skinny belt to create a waistline or do a black and white stripes that contrast each other. 

-Avoid a stripe that goes right across the tummy area
-Use accents
-Contrast, Contrast, CONTRAST!

Fall Beauty | The Essentials

Go ahead and jump start your fall makeup bag. Trial or travel size pick me ups are great for trying new product and restocking without breaking the bank. Product Product PRODUCT! You CAN have glowing skin through fall/winter.  Here's how we've done it for you because we're awesome!

BEAUTY PICK-ME-UPS

-Biotin Vitamins: helps support healthy hair, skin, and  nails

-Alcohol-Free Toner: drugstore fav! Neutrogena has an alcohol-free toner thats won't strip skins natural moisturizers, doesn't dry out skin, & saves you $$$. (its the blue bottle)

-Hydrating cream: a MUST for fall. Something like Murad from Sephora works wonders on winter dry skin. (Body lotion is NOT for your face.) This hydrates and protects skin and they'll let try a trial for free!

-Lip moisturizer: quick pick me up at any drugstore. Nivea has all kinds of lip smoothers, moisturizers, & scented ones! 

-Makeup remover wipes: Yes! All year long. These are easy to find at any drugstore.

-Tissues: not just any old dry tissues, tissues with moisture. Last thing you need in the cold dry season is a rough tissue killing your skin. Puffs tissues work for me and can be found at your local Wal-Mart or Target :)

Well, that will be all for beauty ladies. Back to Fashion Week, chao!

EYEBROW Shaping is Vital!

DO first decide on which eyebrow shape fits your face. They should frame your eyes, and complement your face, rather than detract from your appearance.

            DO use an eyebrow pencil, powder or mousse for filling or correcting. Emphasis on filling in, your face is no notebook, no drawing needed.  

            DON’T ever shape your eyebrows yourself. It's too easy to ruin your whole look with a badly shaped brow.  Leave the shaping to the experts!

            DON’T over pluck, this should be a crime! Use concealer to outline and blend around eyebrow to cover strays until eyebrows are to desired thickness again. 

Everyone has different eyebrow shapes

This is a no no!

 Gorgeous Eyebrows! KK eyebrows are always on point.

 More Gorgeous Eyebrows...Megan Fox

I'm such an advocate on great eyebrows!! Ladies please remember that your eyebrows can either make or break your look. So please if your having a hard time trying to perfect the brow, go to a professional so you can keep your CHIC STYLISH YOU look.
