Happy Easter

2014-04-20T11:03:00.000-07:00

It's Resurrection Sunday!

I hope you enjoy this beautiful day, today!

Spring is here and I decide to wear this white eyelet A- line dress around town.

Wearing white from head to toe is not the usual for me. But I could not resist adding my BJ cream/black love satchel and deciding if I should wear black heels or cream wedges. I decided to wear my never worn before cream wedges and added a hint of color on the neck with a water blue necklace.

Also never leaving home without my glam shades. Those shades complete any outfit, an occasion and on any day of the week.

2014 Color of the Year

2014-02-01T11:05:00.000-08:00

It’s time to roll out everything Radiant Orchid, 2014 color of the year.

We can now put away everything Emerald, because Radiant Orchid is ruling!

The Pantone Color Institute has been designating a Color of the Year to express in color since 2000. Pantone Institute says they choose a “a color that will resonate around the world, the PANTONE Color of the Year is a reflection of what people are looking for, what they feel they need that color can help to answer. Not necessarily the hot fashion color of the moment, but a color crossing all areas of design which is an expression of a mood, an attitude, on the part of the consumers.”

This color is magnificent! I can not wait to wear it on my lips, as a beautiful lipstick!

Justfab! Cocktails & Stilettos Night Out!

2013-08-19T20:57:00.000-07:00

There is nothing like enjoying a cocktail while wearing a pair of fabulous stilettos.

Last weekend, I was invited to attend a Fashion and Beauty Blogger meetup event in San Francisco at Sen's Restaurant. This event was fabulous not because of the name but because the fabulous women, the restaurant and the cocktails. This event was sponsor by JustFab.

Justfab is a fabulous online monthly subscription fashion retailer that carries the cutest, trendy and fashionable shoes, handbags, jewelry, and denim. They also offers a very unique personalized shopping experience based on your fashion preferences. All of their items are 39.95 and you have the option of buying every month or skipping a month or two.

I ordered a pair of boots a week ago and I love love them.

Upon entering this chic restaurant I was greeted by two beautiful women directing me to go out to the patio where the other bloggers were networking. I ordered a delicious glass of champagne and sashay my way to the patio to meet the other fabulous bloggers.

As I enter the outside patio, I was welcomed by the other fabulous bloggers. Justfab gift bags, a cute pair of Justfab pink pumps, a pair of denim, and a cute yellow clutch was displayed on the table; alongside with Musebox gift items and a flyer of a new fashion app called My Runway.

We mixed and mingled for almost 2 hours; with great conversations, a photo session, and some ate dinner afterward.

The highlight of this night for me was getting a photo of everyone shoes! This is how I always end the night with my girls.

By the end of the night, I knew I had a joyous time with all the fashion bloggers and so did my toes because we both were numb!

What I'm Loving this Summer

2013-07-28T21:54:00.004-07:00

Summer is finally here and I apologize for being on hiatus. But I'm having a really good time with my honey and my children. We worked so hard thru out this year so now its time to relax and enjoy some quality time along with family and friends. Our favorite hangout spots have been the beach, library and the park! You Only Live Once♥ (YOLO)

This time of year I love to feel natural, wheather it is being naked, wigless or bareskin. There is something about wearing no makeup, when the sun hits your face and give a natural sunkiss tan on the skin. I love the feeling of waking up applying bare minimum products to my hair, putting on sheer clothing and going about my day. Summer to me is really looking and feeling naturally effortless because its too hot to coverup or wear a lot of makeup. But there are those days I want to wear makeup and still look natural or naturally glammed up!

My Favorite Beauty items I'm loving this Summer:

Nars Tinted Moisturizer this has defiantly been my go to favorite beauty product for the summer. This product is so awesome on my skin and has great benefits. No need to carry my SPF moisturizer or my sunscreen because it’s included thats the beauty and benefit of wearing this tinted moisturizer. You will love it if you try it♥

Stila's Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner will keep your eyes winged out and stay put all day. Plus the best part about this liner is its waterproof. So, for all you ladies who love to look good in water you will love this liner. It will keep your eyes glammed!

MAC RiRi Boy lipstick is my favorite lipstick. I had to get my hands on this lipstisk. The color is like no other. Its not too purple and its not too pink. Its the perfect shade for the summer.

These 3 products will have you looking pretty fierce on any Summer Day!

My Fashion Must have Items this Summer

Tote Bag, my big tote I cant leave home without wearing this bag. I love to throw everything from the bedroom to the kitchen in my tote bag. It doesnt matter if I'm going to the beach, the library or the park. Its coming with me!

Glam Shades My glam shades are under statement if I dont wear them everyday.

Maxi Dress I have them in all color and array of styles. They feel so easy and breeze and easy to wear with sandles or wedges.

These items are my must have for the Summer if I'm going to the beach, library or the park. I cant leave home without them♥

Tell me what beauty and fashion items you are loving this Summer?
