2 for 1

Quick post while styling at my job got this great idea for the use of a bandeau. If your not familiar with them its a band the goes around your bust to help if you have low cut top, want to conceal a bra strap in the back etc. 

But why stop there. i love using pieces that i can change and use in different ways.

wanting to colour block ( which is huge this season ) try a bandeau belt.! looking to add some high waist flare to your skirt or jeans add a bandeau belt! wanting to tighten your waist line? add a bandeau belt!

 

here is one of many examples

 

Simple black bandeau

Give it a try yourself, its a good thing!

A very merry un-birthday to you

Today is my Birthday and im working today going out later for some martinis, as im getting older i tend not to get to excited about birthdays, and why i choose to work today! 

Feeling like a Cheshire Cat im sporting stripes.

I picked up this skirt at forever 21 for $6 adding a an oversize top to balance out the bottom . ( very important ) and adding a belt to tie it all together!

Having a high waist skirt helps to hide any flaws and really shows off the smaller part of your waist would recommend everyone to add one as a staple in their closets !

i added a sock with some detail over my tights

Chalk it up to beauty – D.I.Y

Want to change your hair colour but dont want to dye it?! Using chalk you can achieve the same effects for a night out or a day or two. My hair is pretty dark  but it still shows through…. 

here is what you need :)

Buy soft chalk, not the oil. 

Towel , gloves, old clothes. 

Take small sections and start rubbing the chalk on it.. if your hair needs it add some water.. 

twisting adds texture against the chalk

Adding colour to desire areas

Finished product that easy! hope you can enjoy and let me know what you think :)

Sorry for the M.I.A i hope to be back in action ;)

KISSES,

Shoe trend : Spring 2012

Shoes are something im  getting more and more interested in. I never * shocked * was a shoe junkie i had what i needed….  but now with so many options i m realizing there are so many styles to choose from i find myself trying dozens of shoes!

my new goal is to save up for a pair of CL or MB! that would just be amazing. Holts last call (  think a huge department store with high end brand names for 60 – 70 % off  .. yes heaven )  has amazing prices on all shoes!

so here is my trend list for must shoes for spring .summer

 sorry i haven’t been updating as much as i like. im gonna try to update on a daily

Reed Krakoff

you are seeing this style everywhere.. a chunky wedge  and an ankle strap huge!

Alexander Wang

The point of the shoe is a clear reflection where the style is going and probably a good indication that fall will be show casing alot of the point!

Buckles are big this spring / summer..

i love Dolce & Gabbana

adding a mix of a wedge , buckles and chunky style

Burberry 

i kinda  saw alot of looks from spring 2011 in their collection for 2012

first shoe looks like the michael kors wedge – which was ever so popular

next is the prada look alike. with patterns on the heel

still fabulous

and i added this one just because its a gorgeous shoe i would die to own!

and of course jimmy choo

all pictures from vogue

As you can see from the shoe trends

1 ) chunky heel

2 ) wedge

3 ) playful colourful with buckles , designs, hardware

4) flats are big as well

5) ankle straps, mary janes. criss-cross straps !

Since 2012 is here i thought i would start off the year with a big change!

here is a preview of my new hair! :O

La tortura

In  this outfit i just wanted to show you the trend that is sweeping runways and boutiques “the cape” it might be a bit tricky to pull off so i thought i would show this oversized cardi with  cape- like – features  so even if you cant pull it off you can come close !

I want to try and show how even  in normal day activities you can still pull off trends off the runway .. day #2

I can feel it my bones .

ahh sick in bed for 3 days straight had to miss out on work not fun at all :( 

but i was thinking, even if you are under the weather doesnt mean your clothes need to be… 

i decided to go take a walk near my house and instead of wearing sweats and a sweater, i opted for a long maxi and an over sized tunic over stop. 

this outfit for me is not constricting me in anyway ( like pants or a tight bottom ) and the over-sized tunic allows me to be comfortable and hide anything your not wanting to show  and glasses for puffy eyes or not wearing make up .. like me

.
