My Basic Makeup Kit Favorites

July 16, 2016

. . . . .

I’m sharing my current go-to favorites to use for eyes, lips, and all-over face coverage. When it comes to makeup I like to keep it simple for my everyday look. For most days, it takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to apply my makeup and I’m done. They are basic pieces from well known brands that I’ve come to rely on for other products such as blush and lipstick to complete the look. To have good quality beauty products to build on will help to make adding other specific pieces to your collection a little easier.

Stripes… Spring / Summer 2016

April 10, 2016

The trend many designers incorporated into their spring/summer 2016 collections was the use of stripes. They ranged from soft and subtle to bold and extra large in horizontal, vertical or diagonal patterns. The classic black and white stripes is timeless and a staple part of fashion. With the added variety of stripes, it will be a fun season to mix and match the different patterns, colors, and styles.

My Favorite Picks From Spring Fashion 2016

February 1, 2016

. . .

Floral dresses in soft pastel hues come to mind when I think of spring fashion. Recently, Haute Couture Fashion Week was held in Paris from January 24th to the 29th. The designers unveiled their spring collections that were diverse from one designer to the next with each piece of garment being unique, handmade and one of a kind. My two favorite collections were Giambattista Valli and Ralph and Russo. In addition, Marchesa RTW spring 2016 collection from New York fashion week was also a favorite. The selected pieces from these three collections could be described with adjectives such as voluminous, dreamy, extravagant, beautiful and enchanting. The gowns had sweeping trains and layer upon layer of tulle and feathers meticulously sewn on. Each one was like an art piece to be admired and be inspired by, and I hope you will be too.

Ralph Lauren Fall / Winter 2015

October 10, 2015

. . .

The fall season is upon us as evident in the change in color and scenery. Ralph Lauren’s Fall/Winter 2015-16 woman’s collection captured the season beautifully. The theme throughout the show played on the essence of the American west in a refined, sophisticated, and elegant manner. Multiple layers of rich luxurious fabrics, faux-fur constructed of shearling, suede, and cashmere were mixed and matched with simple knitted ensembles, classic suites, basic turtlenecks, shirts, pants, and skirts. To enhance the monochromatic looks, dramatic long fringes, chunky knits, feathers, and lace along with statement accessory pieces were incorporated into each outfit. The collection celebrated the American west and the season to its fullest.
