Nude on Shoesday Tuesday

Nude on Shoesday Tuesday


This Tuesday was of course Shoesday Tuesday! I went with a basic that everyone should have in their closet and if you don't start looking for this incredible color. Neutral tones and nude tones are great in the realm of accessories! 

From dresses to clutches and shoes in this amazing tone it is truly all about having amazing basics in your closet that really help you expand what you can wear because for instance if you have a nude clutch like in the outfit of the week below you could rock almost any bright color or bright pattern and keep it monochromatic which builds height, elegance and simplicity in any outfit.

Motivation Monday

I am all about great motivation anyway I can get it! This week I wanted to share with you an increible video from +YouTube that really connected with me as well as a few quotes that I pinned on Pinterest that are really defining me right now. You know anytime you are taking yourself, your business and your plans to the next level there will be struggle but it is up to you to define yourself by writing your own story.






UNBROKEN IS SO POWERFUL! 


Growth mentally, emotionally and spiritually takes courage! It is time to be more than a conqueror and I know you can do it!

Fashion Friday: Functional Style that is Really Functional

Fashion Friday: Functional Style



Functional fashion is such a hugely debatable topic because there are so many different versions. I will tell you that I am even working on my personal functional fashion game because it is all about rocking life like a runway but sometimes we just don't have any energy  so what then? My solution are these three rules to help you overcome your daily fashion woes:

1: Choose easy pieces that create shape and fit well! It is not about hiding it is all about enhancing along with devising a plan for your day to day that captures the beauty of your silhouette. 
2. Shop often to save more. Now I know you are thinking say what? But yes keep an eye on your favorite websites, local stores and boutiques. Learn their sale cycles and choose great basics that will keep you looking fabulous.
3. Color pop rocks! Think monochromatic but add in some spice. Now you can do that with your pants, lipstick or even a clutch but whatever you do just go for it!

Here are some basics every closet should have:

Tutorial Thursday: 30 minute Farrah Fawcett


Hair Tutorial: 30 minutes to Farrah Fawcett




Farrah Fawcett is an absolute icon and I thought it would be awesome to salute her in this hair tutorial since this is how I wear my hair almost everyday. 

What you will need: comb, bobby pins or pin curl clip (I prefer the pin curl clips, hair spray, and a 1 inch barrel curling iron  

Hair Success Tips: Remember to take large sections and that you can also do your entire head if you have time. I have even slept on my pin curls before but I usually do my pin curls then do my makeup and you can either let your hair down then or let them down in the parking lot before work or your event. 


Step 1: Comb out the front section of your hair and curl the hair in large sections



Step 2: After each curl get your pointer & index fingers close together and wrap the curl around then pin the curl in place by sliding a large banana pin by the base of your scalp to the curl cool.



Step 3: Repeat this process in the entire front portion on of your head and even as far back as the crown if you choose or desire more volume in the final style for your hair. Be sure t o use hair spray after the pinning process is complete to give you some staying power for the style. I prefer +CHI Hair Care Helmet Head or Freeze it for my style prep.






Step 4: I do my pins first and then get started on my makeup. Clearly here my makeup is already on but you want to give the curls 10- 60 minutes to cool. You can even keep them in while you are on the way to work or an event. Let the sections down one by one and comb through with your fingers in the direction of the curl. 


Step 5: Style as desired! Of course I like my hair full so I always tease mine but you can do a softer version as well. I love for my bangs to lay below my brow line and be very swept away so I also make sure that as I am finishing the hair I spray a shine spray like +Farouk Systems Rapid Shine on the sections and a finishing spray that has a lighter hold in to place for a perfect finish.
