Outfit of the Day..................

2011-10-19T04:31:00.000-07:00

Last week I was helping a friend put together an outfit for an event she had to go to, our first stop was one of my favorite boutiques, Vivian B. Vivian B was our first stop and our last we were able to find exactly what we were looking for.

Black Matte Polish...................

2011-10-18T05:01:00.000-07:00

I have been seeing this black matte nail polish a lot lately, I was thinking that this was something new.........when I talk to my favorite nail technician I learned that she had been doing this for the past two years. I thought this was definitely blog worthy and couldn't wait to share it with my blog followers.

Above is a recent design with black matte polish by Chris Buff Salon, located in Charlotte, NC

This is a D.I.Y design my girl Angie did while at her desk at work using a mattifying top coat.

I use to have stacks and stacks of magazines, it was borderline an obsession. I use to purchase multiple magazines at a time, to get inspiration for outfits. The blog world has completely changed that, these are the bloggers that inspire me............

Fall Trend: Houndstooth........................

2011-10-12T17:41:00.000-07:00

On a daily basis I wear black everyday, (which gets really OLD) that is required of me as a MAC artist. However I wanted to spice my all black uniform up with a fun jacket, so I wore one of my favorites.....a Houndstooth swing jacket.

I topped the Houndstooth off with my favorite red lipstick:

Melyssa Ford: My Body Crush..........................

2011-10-11T04:36:00.000-07:00

As the weather is starting to get colder, I have found myself back in the gym and going hard with my diet. Everybody needs a little motivation as you are trying to eat right daily. Some people choose to use the woman on the Sports Illustrated, Jennifer Hudson or Heidi Klum. Most women, have somebody whose body type they admire, mine happens to be Melyssa Ford. I have a picture of Ford taped up to my Kitchen wall, as a reminder to put the junk food down

As I get closer to my goal, I will post an update and what I have been doing to get there.

Wearing White After Labor Day............

2011-10-09T05:47:00.000-07:00

Believe it, or not this picture of Kim K. was taken a few days ago. We are well into fall and if you still believe in the rule "No wearing white after Labor Day" you may need to crawl back into the time machine. That rule is so ancient. In fact wearing an all white outfit would be right in season. If you can't quite see yourself doing all white, you can pair a white dress with a cardigan or corduroy blazer, pair white pants with warm wool sweaters and great autumn colors.

When I was 15, I wore all white to my high school. I had on a long white leather jacket with my white leather knee high boots, I was standing in the hall way with all my friends. As we are all standing there, a girl walks up and she says "You look stupid, you are not suppose to wear white after Labor day". When these words hit my ears, I was embarrassed and she made me feel stupid. If she is reading this blog, I would tell her, "Tasha I was before my time."

My Circle of Friends....................

2011-10-05T05:17:00.000-07:00

The saying goes: "You are, who you hang around". If there is any truth to that statement, I am a hodgepodge of things. Each one of my closest friends brings something different into my life. I am fortunate to have a lot of friends but I wanted to celebrate the ones I have known the longest and have been there with me through "the good and the bad".

How to get Barrel Curls without using heat

2011-10-03T05:51:00.000-07:00

Soft barrel curls are the trend for hair among all women . I love this look, and finally figured out how to achieve it without using a curling iron everyday.

By using soft bendable rollers, I rolled my hair backwards to achieve the look.

(Please watch the video below on how to achieve the look)

This is how my hair looked, when I took the rollers out.

How to wear a floral print dress...................

2011-09-30T05:04:00.000-07:00

With the season transitioning so quickly, it can be hard to dress weather appropriate. However, I got this little floral print dress from Forever 21 for $12 a couple of weeks ago and it needed some more pizazz.

So I paired it with my favorite Chloe boots and an off the shoulder beige top from F21 and gold accessories. The first time I originally wore this look with black sandals instead of boots.

How to Color Block on a Budget?

2011-09-26T06:05:00.001-07:00

Color Blocking is definitely one of the hottest trends. I got a chance to step out this weekend and I took that opportunity to color block........on a budget of course. For those who don't know, Color blocking is strategically pairing bold colors together.

Here is what it cost me to Color Block. I had the blazer and I paid $22.80 for the sweater (which I will be able to pair with multiple items) and the skirt was $6.50. All items from Forever 21.

Nude pumps is one of the best investments you can make, they go with everything.

Review on MAC's Future Length Lash Serum

2011-09-22T16:36:00.000-07:00

What woman doesn't want long lashes, for goodness sake Elizabeth Taylor was born with a mutation of a double row of lashes that contributed to her timeless beauty. On my quest to achieve longer and thicker lashes, I started using MAC's Future Length Lash Serum. After about two weeks, I noticed a difference in my lashes, they were longer and thicker. Now for $30 this lash serum does not provide the same dramatic results you will get with Latisse, but I definitely noticed my lashes were fuller. This is a great product for women who may have lost their lashes due to a illness or from wearing false lashes. My co-worker, lost her lashes from wearing individual false lashes for so long, after using this product, her lashes have grown back tremendously.

The two above pictures are my lashes after 2 months of using the lash serum.

I wish I could say, I came out of the womb with a sense of style, but that would be a flat out lie. My style had to be learned and cultivated. In order to know where you are going, you have to know where you have been. In this post I wanted my followers to see my evolution.

Fall's Hottest Lip Color..........................................

2011-09-18T19:58:00.001-07:00

Move over Red, this fall Plum lip shade is taking the spot light. It's all about finding a shade of plum, wine or berry that suits you best. My personal favorite, plum shade is Rebel by MAC.

The fact of the matter is RED lipstick isn't going any where, it's still a hot shade to wear for the fall season. One of my personal favorites is MAC Red.

For fun sometimes, I like to wear a really dark lip, it's kind of vamp but stylish at the same time. My favorite dark color is Cyber by MAC.

MAC Me Over..............................................

2011-08-30T18:29:00.001-07:00

MAC Me Over is a line that was launched by MAC on August 25th. One of the most anticipated launches of the year. MAC had a contest last year, they asked contestants to send in a video with the phrase "MAC ME OVER Because......." They choose six winners and MAC Me Over was born, a line inspired by the MAC customer.

Okay so I am trying out the Salon Effects again, I purchased the checkered kind. Didn't go on as easy as the last one. I love the design but I feel like it looks more like a sticker on my nail. Next one I am trying is the lace set.
