Blazers Blazers Blazers

During Fall/Winter we saw the blazer get more and more popular. The problem with winter is that we can't wear the wardrobe all year round. With Summer, a shirt here or there may work with a jacket or sweater. Where I'm from Winter clothing may not even be worn during winter!

The blazer is something you can wear all year round! Wear it over a cute little dress for nighttime, or maybe over a pair of shorts and a t-shirt during the day. I know what you're thinking, blazer is business. But it's not.

Stars from Kim Kardashian to Miley Cyrus has shown us a wide range of blazer wearing.

You don't need to spend much money, be on the look out for sales and deals. Stores like Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 carry a big variety for all shapes, sizes, and styles!

Here is an easy Springtime look for you!

Springtime!!

Spring is one of my favorite times, it's the prequel to Summer and the Winter weather blows away. With spring comes an array of pastel and delicate colors. Here are a few of my favorite nail polishes to wear in the springtime.

Some selections may not be for you, but I will be sure to put in some neutrals :)

This is a mint green from MAC. I know that this isn't a conventional color, but it's just so fun! You might not want to spend the money on a MAC color, but any pastel green would look adorable.

Do you LILAC it? I do! this is one of my favorites from OPI. It doesn't even have to be Spring and I'll wear it! This is a color for those of you that are iffy about a GREEN or a weird YELLOW. Let me know if you LILAC it too!

Essie's Tart Deco is part of their new Spring collection! I am so very excited to sport this one. It's not quite pink, but not quite orange. Perfect medium. Don't you think?

I hope you guys enjoyed my few selections. Are there any colors you are loving for Spring? Let me know in the comments.

Perfect Brows

We may not always realize it, but our brows are very important! Nicely groomed brows will complete any makeup look. Your eyebrows frame your face, and if they're groomed correctly could also make you look a lot younger.

Here are a few ways to keep your brows looking good....

1) Do Not Over Pluck

A better way of wearing your brows is to keep them full. Fuller brows frame the face better and make you look a lot younger. Fuller does not mean bushy, so make sure you keep your brows neat.

2) Get Professional Help

Some of us might not like taking the extra trip to the salon, but it is worth it. There you can get your eyebrows shaped. Doing it yourself at home may not be the best way to do it. To lessen your trips to the salon keep up with your brows.

3) Tweezer Pluck Your Brows

After getting your brows shaped make sure you keep up with them. Just a few hairs here and there and you'll keep your shape longer. Remember not to over pluck your brows or else you'll lose the shape.

4) No Pain!

If you don't like to do your eyebrows yourself because of the pain, try plucking right after the shower. The moistness and hotness of the shower opens up your pores making it less painful to pluck.

Another good trick is to put ice on your brow for a few seconds before plucking to numb the area just a little.

I hope all of these tips have helped!

Let me know if there are any tricks you have.

Nail Polishes I LOOOOOVE

This is just pure glitter and JOY! I love love love this nail polish. It's so beautiful, shiny, and most of all distracting. I find myself distracted by the color of my nails while I drive (probably not too safe). Although I love this color to the fullest, it lacks longevity. I find that the nail polish feels off quickly. I'm going to need to find a way to make it stick! I never want it to go away!

Mad As a Hatter (Alice In Wonderland by OPI)

Here it is, Dorothy's red pumps in a bottle. My new roommate and I decided to take a trip down to Sally's and saw this in the Wizard of Oz collection by China Glaze. We are enamored. This is a beautiful twist to an untimely classic!

I first heard about this color on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. It was the episode where Kim finds a little lost stray dog. Right before she finds the dog she walks into the nail salon asking, "Do you have the color 'My Private Jet' by OPI?" I had to look it up, and duh! I fell in love.

It's a dark charcoal with exciting specks of metallic silver!

Things I am Loving!

This animal print phase I am going through is starting to stick. I've been loving anything and everything in leopard print or zebra print. I also love new things, like the infinity scarf. When I found a combination of the two, I was more than thrilled!

Dear Beauties,

Here are a few tips on how to make your lips appear poutier, bigger, and even sexier:

1) Highlighting your Cupid's Bow

Use a highlighting cream or even a light shimmery powder where your cupid's bow is and you'll be sure to have a poutier appearance.

2) Lining your lips

It's okay to color outside the lines in this case. Line just outside of your natural lip line and your lips will appear plumper and more full. Remember to blend the liner well into the lipstick so you do not have an unfinished look.

3) Gloss! Gloss! Gloss!

Apply and highshine and light gloss to the high points of your lips. Dab a little on the middle part of your lower lip and on your top lip. Your lips will surely sparkle!
