Head of the Class

Brandi P., a mother, school teacher, and lover of all things fun asked me to create a new look for her.  Being the fashionista that I am, as well as a childhood friend, I obliged.  I created three looks for her which are posted in the blogs below.  Watch out world, because

Beach Chic

Brandi likes to go to the beach, so I put this together for her to wear to a nice stroll on the boardwalk.  A floral anorak to ward off the ocean breeze, a sun dress, comfy espadrilles, sunglasses, and a large canvas bag just in case she wants to pack a picnic.

Beezy in the City

Brandi likes to travel, so if she were going out of town, she'd definitely be going to see the sights so I put this look together for her.

Spring Chick

Still caking on that eyeshadow?  Arching your eyebrows pencil thin? Lining your lips with black liner, then filling it in with Carmex? COLOR CONTACTS????
Set your clocks FASHION FORWARD!  Its time to talk

SPRING BEAUTY 2012

When putting your look together  this season, keep these 3 tips in mind when it comes to beauty:

 
1) Less is More

Now is the time to let your natural beauty shine.  Clean, healthy skin is in; and you if you have it, WORK IT!  If you don't, dab on a little bit of concealer, a minimum coverage foundation, and finish off the look with a little bit of bronzer for a natural glow.  Pronounced eyebrows are a MUST to make this work.


Rochas

Pull hair away from the face to show off your your natural look.  The sleek pony is a great polished look, and totally MAJOR right now.  The undone bun is a fresh alternative to this refined look.  Neatly messy, yet still away from the face.

2) Say it with your Lips


No matter how tempting it may be to match your makeup with this season's blossoming florals, catchy color blocks, and native prints... DON'T!  Let your lip color do all the talking.

3) Smooth Nails

Giiiiirrrrllll STOP with those long, acrylic, SWV nails, and all those played out designs!  While nail designs are still acceptable, they have toned down a bit over the past few seasons.  Nails are kept at a length useful for typing and texting, and are less succeptable to host communicable diseases.   As far as nail colors are concerned, right now anything goes.  As long as the length is kept to a minimum, you can go as crazy as you want!
