Winter Fashion Trends

The finest clothing made is a person's skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this.  
~Mark Twain

Hi dolls!  Well, November for many is coming to an end and that means, December is upon us, and that means WINTER!  Snow, hot chocolate, candy canes, lights, blankets, fires and for those who have someone, cuddling.  I'll be sitting with my blanket, watching movies.. alone.  HA!  Anywaaaay!

I instagram my outfits and cool photos

Which reminds me, I got a tattoo!  It is a paw print on my right ankle for my dog who passed away earlier this school year.  I'll one day make a post about tattoos, I personally like them.

However:

I have discovered the 2012 Fashion Trends that will be available to everyone no matter who they are.  These Fashion Trends are made to help enhance your beauty.  No matter size, color, shape.  You are beautiful.  Never forge that.

20. Casual Tailored Blazer: One button to fit shoulders and enhance your waist.

19. Pencil Skirts: Flatters your curves, do not get too tight,  have it loose on your legs, keep it "pencil".

18. Boyfriend Cardigan: Whether it is your actual boyfriend's or one that you buy, this classic style will never go out of style.

17. Cigarette-Leg Jeans: Its the child of the legging and skinny jeans!  Sleek, curve-hugging pants that graze and not grip the knee and ankle.

16. Chunky-Heel Pump: Perfect for office to night out, extra support and always just as fancy.

15. Big Scarves: My favorite accessory (I have ones from Italy, India and Spain!) the bigger and heavier the better, keeps you warm and is stylish.

14. Knee-Length Skirts: Bringing the retro-ladylike look back!  A-line and gives one a hourglass look.

13. Strategic Color-Blocking: Various colors and geometric shapes to enhance the curves.

12. Faux Fur Collars: Giving the perfect amount of faux fur (the only kind of fur you should wear!) and keeps everyone looking up and your beautiful face.

11. Polka Dots: The one pattern that is always available!  Perfect on sweaters, skirts and shirts!

10. Tuxedos: That is right my ladies, tuxedos!  Its the perfect figure flattering tool, stolen from guys!

9. Denim Button Downs: Steal your mother's, its almost positive that she had this one.  But it is back and it grazes your womanly figure.

8. Classic Trench Coat: Its the classic feminine that'll never go out of style and perfect for three of the four seasons!

7. Blouses with Bows: Its the simple slimming effect without going to the gym and shows off your neckline.  

6. Long Pendent Necklaces: No matter the shirt, this will always be the perfect way to flatter yourself

5. Dresses with Waist: Find dresses that clinch at your natural waist line!

4. Lace Dresses with Sleeves: Instead of trying to find a cover up, use a dress with sleeves!

3. Wide Belts: These will give a tunic the perfect hourglass shape instantly and an instant slimmer

2. Belted Puffa Coats: They went from long and shapeless to now embellishing one's waist.

1. Brimmed Hats: They can define your jawline, highlight your cheekbones and emphasize the arch of your brow.

Now, I own almost none of these, but the ones that I do, I absolutely LOVE!  I love wearing my blazer with my skinny jeans and a long pendent.

Or even my big scarves with a high-waisted dress.


I'll post a photo of an outfit soon!  Maybe even tomorrow.  But for those you celebrate, Thanksgiving, I hope you have a blessed holiday spent with family and friends!

Next will a eye makeup tutorial to wear behind eye-glasses!

For any more tips and ideas of where to find some of these styles:

Natural Fall Makeup

Hey guys!

Its been some time and here is another video of my beautiful friend, Jaime doing another eye make-up tutorial.

This is the perfect way to enhance your eyes.  Plus its perfect for going out or doing errands.  Simple and beautiful.

Enjoy
Stay Beautiful
Love you.

Do not forget its breast cancer awareness month and anti-bullying.  Never put someone down because of what they wear, think and look.  You never know what is happening to someone when they aren't with you.

Respect others.

Eyelashes !

Now I'm going to put my eyelashes on and stretch my legs out and do a show. 
Nana Visitor 


After much request, I have a video for eyelashes!  Remember that you always want to add length and thickness!  Curling them is always most important, it makes your eyes appear larger, and younger.

Length
   ~longer lashes accentuate the eyes and appear larger.

   ~larger eyes mean youth and femininity 

Thickness
   ~think lashes? get thickening mascara

   ~put on fake lashes, its a push-up bra for lashes!

Here's my video! 

Happy Fall Guys and Dolls

Fall Season!

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.  

~Albert Camus

Sorry for the lack of posts, between packing for college, unpacking for college and first two weeks of classes, I have finally found my beat and am back to continue this blog.  You'll meet new faces, hear of new ideas that I gather from students internationally, (yes I do mean EUROPEAN) and what is in for the coming seasons!

This is the season of leggings, boots, leg-warmers, sheer tops and scarves!  SO EXCITED! I can finally wear a scarf and not look weird any more! :D

It is my favorite season for fashion, like many others.  But this Fall, I have the do's and don'ts and my personal opinion on some and what I think can work!

Be sure to check Glamour Magazine for more details then the ones I have!

Safe handbags aren't in! Wild prints are a must!  Snake skin with hot pink? PLEASE DO!

       -I love this idea, being safe is never in.  Show your personality!  Love zebra and purple? 

         Well, my suite mate does and OH MAN! It is everywhere!  I personally love pink..

Sporty and lady like!

        -Adding your favorite sport cap to a cute shirt and jeans and heels?  Perfect for a game!

          LETS GO GIANTS!  METS!  ISLANDERS!

Pointy Pumps!  Are just perfect!! Pairing them with wide-leg jeans would never work but having them with cropped pants are a match-made-in-heaven!

Adding different textures improves your wardrobe perfectly.  Cashmere with a simple skirt to add flavor is divine!

FALL! (hahah) back in love with the peacoat!  Navy-blue is the color to be looking for!

       -Yes, this particular coat can be $$ BUT!, why not splurge?  This is the one jacket that

         will always be in style!

Bright colors from Spring laying in your closet, burning a hole? USE THEM!

       -Bright cherry red pumps to your little black dress, red lips, simple hair and basic,

         simple jewelry will make you stand out in a party!

Old-school quilted fabrics are a MUST!  Just be-careful that you don't make yourself a quilt...

Statement collars are the best thing to have this season!  Jewels and beads to play up something so old and tailored is perfect!

      -What I have noticed as well, sheer tops are in as well.  All colors, styles and prints are 

        in!

The #1 thing for this fall?!

DRESS THOSE COZY SWEATERS!  Mini skirts, maxi skirts, heels, do whatever necessary to make something timeless feel fresh and new!

Now, I have an example of what I wore today for classes, for the first day of Fall-like weather.  Now keep in mind on what I posted above, I came up with this outfit and I love it.

I have basic makeup to keep myself looking healthy and open up my eyes a little more.  Many people have asked how I manage to keep my eye lashes curled and perfect, so I will be doing a tutorial soon!

My favorite brown riding boots with a dark teal/blue leg-warmers (for that breeze that comes through as you walk across the quad).

Leggings, a major YES! for an outfit like this, jeans would look too frumpy with this sheer teal shirt of mine.  Wearing a tank top underneath is classy and appropriate for going to classes, however going out a bandeau or a nude bra would be perfect as well.  Kept the natural curly hair with a small poof for my bangs.

Wore one bow ring on my middle finger on my left hand, a pearl ring on my right pointer, two teal bangles, four pearl earrings (two small peach for my cartilage and two white for my second hole and feather/beads for my first holes.

Don't forget you are beautiful!

See you guys soon!

Back to School Makeup Tutorial

You can't learn in school what the world is going to do next year.

Henry Ford

What many of you may already see, school is just around the corner.  You see it in stores, in commercials and commercials.

For those in high school, keep pushing through, though it sucks, those friends become almost family when you guys separate for college.  But for those going back to college, or starting, congrats.

Regardless, you need a hot back-to-school face.  So now is the perfect time to start.  Wash you face before you start your day and when you end it.  Make sure you scrub real good, no one wants pimples. Though many say that the sun is terrible, honestly it kills bacteria that form pimples, so if you have, go into the sun for 30 minutes and kill those bad boys.

If you haven't been exercising as much as I have this summer, now is your chance to start have a good back to school body.  And to top it off, get outfits and clothes for the new year that enhance your naturally beautiful self.

But today my friend that I have had since elementary school that has a light, simple back to school to enhance and not be over powering.  You don't EVER want to look like a clown.  Too much make up is bad you want to enhance what you have been given.

So here is Jaime, who in the future be doing many more for this blog, as well as myself!

Incase it doesn't work, here is the link!

Good Luck kids, do good this year!

Henna!

So, the one thing I love about this world, is the ability to try and see so many different cultural experiences.


The latest one I have done, is get myself a henna tattoo.


For those who don't know, its the earliest form of art and body art.  Its an organic paint that temporarily dyes the skin a darker color, usually associated with marriage, birth, death.  It can be traced to India, Africa, Egypt and mostly in the Middle East.


But regardless of where it can be found, it is one of the most beautiful thing ever.  The detail, color, art is so gorgeous and so new.  The time and effort these people put into it is something totally different and should be respected.


It was a way for everyone to appear lavish and friends painted each other's feet and hands to become closer with each other.


Even in other countries, henna meant good luck and some women adorned it as a way to show her innocence before marriage.


Here is the one I got.  

Every day outfit should always be able to turned into a night outfit for those last minute plans.
-Anonymous 


Hi dolls, I hope everyone has been having a good break and been keeping up with those new fashion ideas and styles that you've seen.


If anyone has any idea where I can get a high-low skirt. I WOULD LOVE YOU TIL FOREVER'S END!


But in other news, I decided I am going to do the idea of taking an outfit and creating to be a day outfit to a night.


You never know when last minute you need to rush home from work to go to a bar or club with friends.


So I grabbed my friend who happened to be free to model for me.  She is my good friend Monica.  Gorgeous girl, with a very Polish face and a hot swimmer's body.  Here is her Day outfit.

Here is her Night outfit

Here are some close ups of the shirt, skirt, shoes.

Mercanti Fiorentini

Guiseppe Zanotti

Skirt can be found at Forever21

Shirt can be found by Geri C New York

Adding and changing accesories can help too.  Watch to bangles.  Studs to hoops.  Simple ring to some huge ring.  Chain to larger necklace.

Hope you enjoyed. xoxo
