work what you got

so not everyone has a closet like Carrie from Sex and the City but we do need to work with the space we have. so the new trend in closet and space saving is building cabinets and drawers within your closet space. this room used an iron rod and hung up a curtain in front of her open face closet which gives it a homey cute feel. utilize hanger space but also above the hanger rod and below the space where your clothes end. keep easy wrinkling fabrics hung, like silk blazers, dress trousers, dress shirts, and blouses. 

if you are working on a budget ikea has great chic solutions. if you need cheap more then chic, target also has great space saver for under $20. These white drawers on the right normally go for $500-$600 go for $250 at Ikea. 

Happy Shopping.

BANGle me so good.

so if you're afraid of bulky jewelry... dont be

i dont know how many times i must have said this but this summer it will be even more essential to wear bulky bangles.

with the trend leaning towards streamline simple lines and modern looks the bangle makes the glam to the outfit. you all know my affinity for accessories.. well heres my new guilty pleasure. feel free to indulge.

forever 21 has great great bracelets for under $10.  the looks to keep in mind are (from right to left) the tribal "rude boy" look, the glam bitch socialite look, modern sleek rocker look. these bracelets range from $4-8

happy shopping!

a new kind of made up

what is make up to you?

we wake up and put on some foundation, mascara, and eyeliner. maybe even a plain pink lip.

make up has evolved into something more then just simplicity. we can incorporate color into our everyday look. this isnt new but i would say its under appreciated. 

last week i went to the super market wearing my usual skinny jean oversize tee cropped jacket and over the knee boots.

my hair was in a bun however i had on no foundation or eye liner. Just fuscha mascara and blush on my cheeks. simple right? however still eye catching and brings out the beauty in our skin. most women have amazing skin, why clump on globs of the same make up every day. keep it simple, by a good moisturizer to get an even skin tone. i use clinique everyday moisturizer for $19. 

Sephora gives out daily free bees and offers a great array of makeup types and color. trade in you black eye liner for a brown or burgundy or purple.

no one is saying you need neon green on you eyes but choose a complementary color to your eye color. my eyes are brown so i love to buy purples and fuschias to accentuate my eye.

MAC has a great mascara limited edition makeup. I recently bought the wonder woman fuschia mascara for $15 and it works wonders for my eyes.

happy shopping.

does mix and match mean crazy bitch?

i have seen ladies wearing glitter mini skirts with patterned tops and different colored bags and i hear alot from girls what do you think of this trend? Mixing and matching is not a new thing but it has evolved in the last year or 2. Above the girl is wearing a lace dress, leopard wedges, and a navy blazer. this outfit looks great for a date night or shopping with the girls. if you want to learn to put together your own mix and match outfit you should think of these steps before proceeding:

-address the occasssion

-pick out you staples, ex. jeans, blazer, skirt, dress, etc.

-accessorize in opposites, ex. you are wearing a black blazer with a leopard lining that shows when u turn up the sleeves grab some gold glitter stillettos from steve madden or a red bag with royal blue shoes and navy skinny jeans.

These outfits are great because you can look fabulous by just buying separates from the fabulous finds section in forever 21 when everything is under $20. pair up these pieces and creates multiple complete looks.  mixing and matching can be fun but be careful, it can get wild when you put too many colors together and dont consider the consequences. 

happy shopping.

i believe in jumpsuits. they provide a comfort and a sexy illusion for women. Terry Richardson (above) shows off her long legs in this summer time show stopper, below is a jumpsuit from Newport News for $49.
