EASY SUMMER HAIRSTYLES

Summer is just around the corner and the last thing i wanna do is spend time with my blow dryer.  I am always in search of new tutorials on braiding and twisting my hair in unique ways.  I find great inspiration on Pinterest and of course YouTube, but here are some pictures of some styles i love.  I will post links soon on video tutorials on some great and easy to do styles.

FOUNDATION FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE

When it comes time to pick your foundation you have to consider the type of skin you have and what kind of look you are trying to achieve. Really,it's a matter of trial and error, there is no easy way. I have tried a lot, i mean always trying new products, but have definitely found a couple i really love. The CHANEL one in this collage i absolutely adore and will highly recommend. I put together a guide t help you if you are in search of the perfect foundation. Do you have one that you love and would like to suggest?

EFFORTLESS STRIPES

This combination is absolutely timeless and so chic.  One of my all time favorites.  You simply can not go wrong with simple black and white stripes.  Oh.... don't believe the "stripes make you look wider" myth, I am a curvy girl and love wearing stripes.  Do you love wearing stripes?

ON TREND: FAUX FUR VEST

This Rachel Zoe inspired piece is back in trend, full force.  She did after all inspire the trend couple seasons ago, so i had to give her credit:) Versatile, warm and stylish, this piece will definitely keep you warm this season, as well as stylish.  The fur vest trend has definitely been noticed by many major retailers and stores, making it easy to find and afford.  Layer it under jackets, turtlenecks, chiffon tops for a touch of glamour and keep warm with this incredible "must have" piece of clothing this season!

A TROPICAL ESCAPE...

So we are back from our vacation recently to Cancun, Mexico and i have to say it was paradise.  Seriously, i did not want to come back.  We stayed at the Oasis Sens resort near downtown Cancun, medium sized, but gorgeous and very modern.  Everything was perfect, the beach was amazing and very clean.  I am so grateful to have created such unforgettable memories with my husband and our friends and coming back home was bittersweet. 

WINTER WHITE

It is really absurd to me when i hear people say that you can't wear white after labor day, whoever made that up it is beyond me.   This is a very classic color that is wearable all year round.  Try mixing fabrics and textures to create an interesting look.  I always love a nice chunky knit sweater, it is so cozy around this time of the year.  So, here are some ideas on what to wear in this hue, hope you like it and let me know what your favorite piece is!

THE TREND: CAP-TOE SHOES

Cap-toe style shoes are all the rage right now.  They are cute, chic and elegant, incorporating the color block style, that we all know has been IN for some time now.  This style of shoe is unexpected and fun, giving you the right amount of color to any outfit.  Have you tried this trend yet?Which one is your favorite?

LOVELY LACE

Along with the girly trend that we have seen this season (florals, pastels, etc.) lace was also popping out everywhere.  This new introduction to lace, is bold and beautiful.  It is structured, large scaled and available in pastel colors i am loving right now.  How do you guys feel about lace?Have you been able to incorporate it in your wardrobe?

A few summer essentials, to keep you looking, fresh, dewy and up to date.  I love color in the summer, so i incorporate it in my style, using nail polish and lipstick. Also, for those who are fair (like me) i love using sunless tanning lotion, these two are one of my favorites.  I hope you guys enjoy these tip in how to be a summer Do.  What is your summer essential?

SWIMWEAR EDITION: THE ONE-PIECE

We love summers for many reasons, long sunny days, the beach, simple dresses and sandals, i can go on and on.  But one thing, i think, we dread is going swimwear shopping.  The one-piece has always been my go to option, i love the curve it gives and the way it hugs the body.  A few options above i thought were adorable.  So, let me know what is your go to swimsuit? Could you see yourself in a fabulous one-piece?

ONE DRESS, TWO WAYS

When it comes to my wardrobe, I try to incorporate pieces that i can get the most use and versatility out of.  For example this dress may seem basic, but add the right accessories and it is ready for work or weekend.  Do you try to buy versatile pieces for your wardrobe?

MAXI SKIRTS

Maxi skirt are the IT item this season and they are more versatile then you might think.  Whether your are going to work, running errands or going out for the evening, here are a few outfits to show you how to wear them.  Do you guys like maxi skirts?

Hello everyone!

After a little hiatus, i am back with a post of my beauty musts.  These are products i use almost daily, and they are my personal favorites.  I use the Shiseido creamy emulsion morning and night to cleanse my face, followed my the hydramax+active Cnanel cream. For perfect coverage i use this tinted moisturizer by Chanel, i love the glow it gives and for extra coverage, if i needed, i use the their compact press powder.
Nars duo blush for a little color and these maybeline eye shadows are amazing.  Dior show mascara for some dramatic eye lashes and i finish the look with this lip color from Chanel, called Insolance.  So i hope you are all doing well, and let me know what your favorite products are!

HAIR TRENDS: SPRING/SUMMER 2012

Every season i am really excited to see what is "IN" in the hair trend department.  Happy to see the braid is still going strong, so easy to do, yet so cool and chic.  I am not so sure about the wet look i have seen pictures of, but this sleek style i picked out might be worth trying out.  What are you guys excited to try this spring/summer?

With warmer temperatures around the corner, it is definitely sure we all want to celebrate it with a pop of the hottest, very gorgeous color this spring/summer.  Tangerine was all over the runways and for a good reason: it is hot, it is vibrant and brings to life any outfit.  I picked out a few pieces in this color, i thought were pretty, hope everyone likes it and let me know: Are u going to try this beautiful color this season?

Color block shoes are a major hit this season. Massive platform, chunky wedges, even a classic pump, these shoes have one thing in common: they all have at least three colors, but not just any color, vibrant, intense, rainbow colors. Which ones do you guys like? Have you tried this trend yet?
