Top 5 Hairstyles: For Fall

Now that the summer is dying down, have you notice what has happened to your hair? I have some tips for you as well as the Top 5 hairstyles for the fall! Enjoy!
-- Remi

Tips: Go and get a full treatment. If your hair is colored- touch it up. I suggest you have your hair deep conditioned to give it a healthier look. And lastly, a nice trim can give it back some body it lost from all those beach wave curls. 

Top 5 hairstyle.

Cutting it into layers can be a way to discard any damage hair. This look shapes your face and makes your hair more playful without losing to much of it.

Adding bangs, keeps its sophisticated and well put together. Yet it is a lazy style, very effortless.

Twist, have been almost romantic. Throwing a few twist in an already wavy mane creates a flirtatious flow to the hair.

Sleek straight roots and body on one side, is a red carpet signature. Very clean and cut look for any "fancy" occasion

Hair jewels are not just for little girls. Going back to the Victorian ages braid your hair into two messy braids and throw on a nice jeweled headband is an awesome touch. 

DIY: Distressed Studded Shorts

Hey all,

As you know I went on a Do It Yourself free for all. The latest creation I have made is transforming a pair of  old jeans into high waisted ripped and studded shorts. If you like this look follow the steps below to accomplish this garment.

Just a heads up so you know you are going to need a pair of old, strong, and thick jeans. As well as stronh scissors, needle & thread, a patch of leather, and studs. FYI: You can find a pair of good old jeans in a thrift store for really cheap. I got mines for like two bucks.


 Step 1: Cut the pants to the length you feel most comfortable with.

Step 2: Make tiny insertions on the area you want to represent the rip. Note: You do not want your slots to be too thick or too thin, because this is whats going to determine the size of the ripped patch. If the slots are to tiny then the fabric will break creating a hole. If it is too thick it will leave a section of rip making it look less original/normal.

Step 3: Once all the insertions have been made and you  have come to a point where you feel there are enough you can pop it in the washer. Once you wash it, place it in the dryer for 20 minutes. Note: Be sure to keep an eye on your shorts because jeans tend to shrink fast in the dryer. Also dry the jeans on LOW vs high.

Step 4:  Your jeans should be ripped and distressed if their are any pieces you don't like you can snip away any parts you want. Now you can cut the back pocket in half. Make sure to cut on a diagonal to mimic the look of my shorts. Note: Make sure to leave the bottom half of the pocket on and cut off the top.

Step 5: Use the reminder of the pocket as a guide to attach the leather too.

Step 6: This step depends on the type of studs you have. I got mines at a fabric store for 10 for $1 I have about 50 studs on these shorts. These studs have little tabs in the back making hammering them into the fabric enough to keep them secure. Once you have all your studs placed in the design of your choice the look is accomplished.

Final thoughts-- I added a layer inside of my the pocket (on the inside) to create a cushion so that you don't hurt your butt when you go to sit down.

Hope you find this helpful and Enjoy.

Jil Sanders Menswears Fall 2012

Smooth sexy and confident. Are three words to best describe this Menswear's collection. I really enjoyed the men in black appeal this collection has as well as the feel of mystery in the air as these gentlemen walk the run way. Check it out! And feel free to let me know what you think.

--Remi

Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter

Winter wonderland.  The show starts off and emerges from small to big. Nothing but feathers and furs. The color scheme of white, red, and silver. The beginning of the collection has silver bow like belts that I believe then they showcase silver flower belts. In the middle some of the white pieces appear to either have some sheer because you do see skin. Towards the end the dresses are full fur or feathers, I enjoyed the really big pieces they were fun and outrages which is always a good combination. Many people feel that this line may be to f eminent,Check it out below!

What do you guys think?

Peplum

Word on the street is Peplum,

This cute little trend has been seen in so many of the retail stores I shop at but it has also made a great deal of appearances on people. As we all know street fashion is where we can trend hunt. But it is also where we see some things we wished we had not. Lets get down to business. In a perfect world all trends are for everyone and everybody type. But we don't live in a perfect world so I just want to give you guys some advice. If you are busty you have to go about the peplum trend accordingly. If you want to wear it in the shirt   look, do get the size a little bigger. This will make the shirt appear a little longer drawing  more attention to your hips.  Also the peplum skirt vs dress might be a better match for you. Because you can wear a top that gives you a little more room or a showcase some of that sexy cleavage you have.

Secondly if your body type is a bit larger or wider in the hip or thighs area. This trend will draw a whole lot of attention to the bottom area. It will make it appear bigger than it is. If this is something that does not bother you then go for it. But if you want to hide them a little I suggest getting a peplum dress that has a sheer top half and a solid bottom. This will draw attention to your racks and then the eyes will work their way down.

Note: The peplum goes best with a boyish body type and a small bust body type. Mainly because it can create hips/ shape for them.

How to Make a hair bow

Hey guys,

I have recently decided to go on a "Do it yourself " rampage. I'm trying to save money to sponsor a well needed vacation to Miami. So be on the look out for tons of DYI items that I will be posting in the How- To-Tutorials label.

Today's main focus is on the oh so adorable hair bows. Many people have moved onto the head scarves replica of a hair bow, but for those who stand by this trend this post is for you. Need i say that if you are rocking a short due this summer hair bows are an amazing accessory for your hair.

Okay lets get started. Here is a list of what you are going to need:

• Fabric (any fabric will do the size does not matter it all really depends on how big you want your bow)
• A hot glue gun  (you can find these things for such a bargain at art stores rather than sewing/fabric stores. I got mines for 2 Bucks at Blick Art supply)
• A small hair clip (I tend to use the flat silver clips-- hairdressers usually use them when they wrap your hair) FYI: I will post a picture later showing you what type of clips works best.
• Scissors

*Start by plugging in your glue gun, they take time to warm up*

 Step 1: Cut a thin strip from the fabric (on the horizontal line). Make sure you have it to the thickness you see fit. This strip will act as the knot that keeps the bow together.

Step 2: You want to fold the remaining fabric over itself so that it looks like a rectangle with no cuts or loose pieces of cut fabric are shown. The importance of this is so the bow looks sewn yet you don't see the seams.

Step 3: Now that the rectangle of fabric is folded to your liking, you can take the strip of fabric and wrap it around the center. You should use a pin to hold it together so that you don't loose the place you want it to be.

Step 4: Now take your glue gun and glue the end pieces of the strip together. (Let the glue cool and dry for 15 minutes.)

Step 5. String (Place) The clip through the space between the rectangle piece of fabric and the strip. Apply glue to the side of the clip that will act as the piece attached to the fabric and the strip. Hold the clip in place for a few minutes. Then allow the glue to cool and dry. (Note: You might want to find a bigger clip to hold everything together while the glue drys)

Once the glue is dry, you have successfully made a hair bow. And it should be ready to wear as you please (Note: I would wait a day before doing so)

Flowers at the Pond

"A fall look personally styled by myself"

How to Pencil your Eyebrows

In order to create a good natural brow you should start off by shaping your real brow to create a template. [FYI:  There are kits out there with brow templates I used  The Essence of Beauty Eyebrow starter kit]

If you already have the shape of the brow you wish to draw on then your 1st step will be to take your brow brush and brush your eyebrow hairs into place.

The 2nd step will be to draw the line (or use on of the templates, if you do not have a template tape works well and is easier to see what the shape will look like before tracing. Also you can free hand. If you choose to free hand note that the eyebrow should start at the the start of your eye, the line should fall in the same path as the sides of your nose.)

Make sure you draw the bottom line first and then the top line. The top line can be as high as you want to create the thickness or thinness you want your brow to be. [Note: your brow should start to arch at the  point diagonal of  the pupil of your eye and the brow should end where your eye stops.]

The 3rd step is to fill your brow in. You can either use Brow color or use the pencil. If you use the pencil be sure to make small hair like marks.

Technically once you have completed this step you have created your brow and should repeat the steps in order on the opposite brow.

If you choose to want a more defined brow you can add some concealer around the brow to clean up any mistakes.It is best to apply a small amount closely around the brow. I usually do small marks moving downward towards my eye (not to close the eye though) and then blend it in. Once it is all blended i retrace my brow edges with a thin line of concealer.

When I first started I didn't use concealer I actually used the lighter shade of brow color in The Essence of Beauty Eyebrow Starter kit. So there you have it.

What To expect This Fall

Peplum skirts and shirts have been making a splash so I believe they will be here a little longer.

PRINTS, prints, and more prints. It seems we just can't get enough. [ Fashion advice: Try pairing  a bright patterned pant with a peplum top in a nude neutral color. ] There will be Peplum jackets for the fall as well.

Leather jackets, are always a fall necessity. They are so easy to style, and they can turn a dull outfit into something with a pop or ruff edge.

-- Remi

Fall Must Haves

These are the things that you will always need when the fall season arrives.

1. Leather Jacket- always great for a night out and give you some rocker sheek. It also can add spunk to a dull outfit.

2. Varsity Jacket- For the cold days when you want to look and feel both cute and comfortable. Seems to give the sense of belonging or even the "I am taken" personality. They go great with any wash of jeans. To tie the look all together add a nice boot.

3. The classic trench coat. Need I say more? A classic is forever, and designers have been putting their own spin on these coats lately. A trench can turn a LBD it something as magical as Breakfast at Tiffany's. They give off a very sophisticated look. They work well with flat, booties, practical anything. An if you want to take it an extra mile. Make your own DYI trench dress (Cut of the sleeves and add some embellishments.)

4. Acrylic sweaters- Very warm and cozy. These are great for creating layers and is another effortless style. If you want you could throw the sweater and some leggings on. Acrylic fabric holds the heat so its perfect for those chilly days. No need for a jacket this thing will get the job done and its light weight.

5. Printed chunky cardigans- Effortless style, They too are very warm and pair nice with either leggings or a good jean. Belting them creates an hourglass shape, so that is always a plus!

6.Combat boots- No need for those heavy duty timberland boots. Although when you want to dress a little more street they have a lot more support when the snow hits the ground. But if you want to had some military to your wardrobe these things are amazing. They can be worn in any season and with anything..so this is simply just a must have all year round.

7. Tights- Go great with skirts, shorts, and boots. Keep your legs covered and protected. Also, if you choose not to shave in the Fall/ Winter no one will have to know because the buzz will be cleverly disguised .

8. Leg warmers- Best to have for this sole reason. To keep your legs warm! I know really obvious but these things really get the job done. Also they go great with tights!

9. Knee High Wedge boots- One word SEXY!. There great because the leather keeps your feet dry. Go great with almost anything. But do wear warm socks with these bad boys because the leather will make your feet cold. Styling tip: Knee high socks and leg warmers look so cute with these boots.

10. Scarves- Any scarf will do. Prints and colors are nice for fall. Knit circle scarfs are what I prefer. They not only keep your neck warm but it can double and keep your head warm if placed on your head..Obviously.


There you have it my personal top 10 Fall must haves.

50 Shades of Grey

This summer has been filled with novels. Especially the Novel 50 Shades of Grey. All of my girls have read it along with their mothers. Now if your a fan of this book or even if you have not heard of it, you will want to know this information.

UK tailors Norston and Townsend have created a Menswear collection. It is said to showcase about 200 different "shades of gray". Descriptions of the suit range from "Glamours Gray" to "Grown- up Gray."

So be on the look out!

Nothing Like a Hot Pump

Floral And Plaid

This season seems to still be about prints. Although you saw a lot of floral in the summer it is in dead making its way to the fall.  Brands and Labels such as Urban outfitters, base their signature garments with flowery prints with a wide variety of color combinations.

As usual plaid is making a splash for fall. You will see it in coats as lining, as design, and attachments. By attachments I mean little "pockets" of plaid on a garment. It gives the garment a more DIY feel and look. Be on the lookout for plaid accessories this fall!

After all who knows what Burberry will do next!

DIY: Cut out dresses

This is the best thing old fashion that i love. Doing it yourself!

My mother always asked me "why do people by things that looks like they've been through hell?" She would always say "why not just do it yourself and save the money."

She was on to something I tell you. So lets get down to business. Cut out dresses have made a splash this season. No matter what length or color or even style. Just grab an old dress, some scissors, and a little creativity. If you have a particular shape feel free to turn the dress inside out and use a chalk marker to trace the shape and cut it out. If you have to draw the shape make sure you use a marker or writing utensil that will not leave a mark and if washer friendly. Something without scent would also be smart. Once you have the shape traced the choice of where to stop or where to put it next it up to you, and your own sense of style and creativity. This step is optional but i suggest that you place the garment under a sewing machine( or sew it by hand) and run a few stitches on the area that has been cut out. This will strengthen the garment and will allow the shape to be durable while going through the rumbles of the washing machine. Once the stitches are secure, you should now wash it and dry it and then you will have your very own DYI cut out dress.

Good Luck,

--Remi

RiRi on the cover of HB

I recently received my air tight cover of Harper's Bazar and thought this magazine was AMAZING. I don't see what the big issue was. The outfit was sexy, shiny, and conservative. Her make up was so light it look natural. An the edgy sheek straight black hair with the buzzed side was a typical Riri statement.

Why is it that her being apart of something that she lives everyday is wrong? Yes she talked about Chris and their hit song Birthday Cake, but It was most certainly the result of a certain question being asked. The rest of her 3 page section talked about her life in Barbados, her family, and her FASHION influence and her own inspirations.

We all will never forget the whole Chris Brown scandal, but is that really a reason to judge everything they do now? "Life goes on, somethings cannot be taken away, somethings will never be forgotten, but life will go on"

Dressing your age

Being stylish is at times hard to do. Knowing what looks good and what looks good on you are completely different things. Some might like a garment and purchase it but many times it is in fact a nice garment, just not for someone of their age.

Just because you grow older doesn't mean you shouldn't keep track of fashionable things or trend forecasting. People watching is the best thing to do when looking to see what is in style and what people of all age are wearing. I mean after all someone who is 20 should not be wearing something that is for a 70 year old. Dressing your age is what helps you stay fresh and interesting. So if you believe dressing younger or even older you are mistaken. Don't you want to look good?

Yeah know just because you dress it doesn't mean you look it.

Turn down the heat

The summer is the best time to wear your hear natural, wavy, braided, or in ponytails. The one thing that you need to do is protect yourself from the rays of the sun as well as the rays from your flat iron. If you choose to  flat iron your hair turn down the heat. As well as decrease the number of times a week and days you flat iron it. Regardless of what kind of hair you have you don't want it to get heat damaged and have to cut it all off.
An are you guys not tired of the smell of burning hair?

If you can't live without your bone straight hair I suggest a perm. Or using heat protectors before you fry your hair.

This summer

The summer is about to things color and hipster. We all are aware of the vibrant pop colors that have been seen on lips. Well also apply those to your nails, toes, and eyes.





Also the summer brings beach bombshells and late night walks by the river. The hipster," natural colors that are similar to you skin tone"look is the whats what at the moment. So try some shimmer, use products such as foundation that have a little bit of sunscreen in them. Not only will you have a nice glow, you will be protecting your skin from the rays from the sun.

Fashion Advice: Sandals

Ok we have all seen this, those god awful toes that look like they are suffocating in shoes. Women, you have a problem, especially the ones who love a good shoe at a good price.

Here is my advice, stop lying to yourself and saying your a certain size that you are not. If they do not have the shoe in your size it is not meant to be. Also do you know the dangerous of wearing shoes the wrong size?  Not only with you get bunions, it can alter the appearance of your foot, lead to discoloration, and possibly cut off all circulation and lead to fainting.  Now that you know please take care off your feet and buy the right size.

What is on that boy's feet?

Now not all men are blessed with great sense of fashion. An the summer prevents them from hiding out in big hoodies, sweats, and smelly boots. So you start to notice a few things--Like their feet!

Note: Having Good Hygiene does not make you "Gay." (Not that there is anything wrong with being homosexual.) And dude it's way more attractive than you might think. I am not telling you to go to the nail salon and get your nails painted, but I am telling you to go get them scrubs, soaked, and those long discolored toe nails cut and filed. (And if you have discoloring checked-- Fungus is not attractive. It worth it for so many reasons, such as chicks dig it, you won't disgust some people when you decide to wear flip flops, and plus they give you a nice foot massage.

Now if you follow my advice you won't regret it. Here's some more advice:

Prom

Alright ladies prom season  is over. You've spent tons of hours and lots of money to look your best on that one special night. Now that it is over and school has been out for a while, where is that "one in the million dress you just had to get because it spoke to you in the department store? Hanging up somewhere, tucked away in your closet i bet? well did you ever think about wearing it again? Of course not as if or maybe if that's your thing as is? 


Deconstruct Reconstruct....yup grab some scissors and change it up. The top of the dress could make a cute halter or tube. or how about the bottom? depending on the type of dress it could make a poofy 50's skirt or a long maxi skirt.. With a little alterations your prom dress could even become some satin shorts. Maybe even a couple of different things. But your creative side to the challenge and make good use of all the money and time spent on that dress.

So you think you want to be...

Good Morning all,

I wanted to touch base on some fashion tips. This is something I really want people to do-- be themselves. Homework find someone to inspire your fashion. The top people are Marilyn and Jagger for myself. And when i am feeling all vintage I go to Aubrey. I don't want you to necessarily copy their style, but find looks that you can recreate with your own twist. After all that is what fashion is all about...Dare to Be Bold!

As of 8/11/12

The New an Improved Work Shirt

Summer time is the worst time for a man. Now I say this because unlike females they don't have the luxury of summer breezy work appropriate clothing. They have to deal with those long shirts in the heat. An no matter what brand of deodorant they use they still can't seem to keep perspiration from happening. So what is the solution?

It turns out that four MIT student may have the problem solved. They have created a dress shirt out of synthetic knits that are the same materials used in NASA space suits. They used this material because it allows the moisture to be pull into the fabric, making evaporation easier.

The shirts retail price are $100- $130, looking for a gift for your son, father, or man..this might be it and it is so worth every penny.

Studded Shorts

Waiting for the bus I noticed these cute shorts. It seems they have caught a lot of eyes. They pretty much are self explanatory. Look cute with simple things, but it's always fun to challenge yourself and dare to be bold. 

Color Splash

Designers have been juicy this year, especially when it comes to men's wear. They must be tired of those "I'm scared of color" guys. Well I don't know about you but I for one hate speedo's. OMG especially one the wrong type of guy. But trunks are always perfect. It can hide or display your junk, yet allow you to be fashion forward and safe. Now here are a few things i've seen on the runway that I'd very much love to see vs those average joe trunks and terrible speedos. Check them out guys--- Dare To Be Bold!

Victoria Secret: Beach Sale

Starting June 28th Vicky's will be having there BEACH BOMBSHELL sale..

Fashion Advice: Bathing Suits

Sand, water, tanning, and ice cream. Beach weather is here which means bikinis, tankinis, and sexy one piece bathing suits are the topic. So here comes the advice.. we all know going to the beach can be one or two things.. a good time in the sun looking good and feeling great, and then the uncomfortable sloppy looking people who make you sick. So this is another know your figure advice post. I myself would not walk around in a bikini like i have killer abs and a full body tone. So we all have seen those "I am super confident in my body" people who do not have beach body sexy going on. My advice the only thing that should be jiggling are the girls. Now getting a tone beach body is a lot of work, some are blessed with the discipline and others are not. There is nothing wrong with being proud and comfortable in your own skin, but looking unappealing should make you feel uncomfortable. If you have a little belly the tankini is the best bet for you. You still get to feel and look sexy without having to put on a one piece. If you have a rocking body and want to show it off go for it but thong bikinis at a public beach is not the same as your own private pool. Wear a cover up or keep it for the privacy of your own pool. If you are full figured and have to much going on getting a bathing suit that accentuates your breast and supports them is your best bet. Try a top with support maybe one of the ones that cross over each other. If you have a bigger bottom, the tankini boy shorts give you coverage and still show a little something. So have fun and regardless of your don't make anyone barf because you look sloppy at the beach.

Having trouble with your Bra?

Some women either don't wear the right size bra, don't know what their breast size is, or even how to measure their breast to determine both..Another thing is how to wash their bra. Now I know your wondering    " Does she think we all are stupid." But I'm serious, don't you hate when your wearing your bra  and the under wire is sticking you? Well if you wash your bra's by hand you can prevent that from happening, also if you want to still wash them in a machine

Waves and Curls:Men

It would seem as if men's hair trends don't do much. Which is sort of true, they change their hairstyles just as much as woman but don't always feel the need to go as extreme or as many times as women. They tend to stay with what works for them BUT in this year men are all about excitement and taking risk. (Not saying that they just became this way.) An so is the different hair styles they rock. The two main trends for men's hair is: razor spike and wavy and curly. Razor spikes tend to have the sides cut down close and the remaining hair is spiked to the side. An wavy and curly is self explanatory. The hair is usually short and has a lot of texture to is as well as body. An its safe to safe to say that it is a modern day Justin Timberlake fro.

Let them breath

Have you noticed this?

Your wearing a suit that you spend a good chunk of money getting tailored yet it's still not the "right fit." Well that problem just might be solved this season. Designers have suits now that are slightly baggier to let them breath.. it is also looks a bit more boxier.

Note: Don't go to overboard with the bagginess you wouldn't want to look sloppy at an important celebration, let alone at the office. So limit it to one size bigger anything higher than that might as well go out in sweatpants.

Summer LOCKS

The hot, long days of summer are well on their way and that means a few things:
The beach, BBQ, and soaking up the sun, but it also means hot humid weather requiring people to want to keep cool. My suggestion, how about a new look? Summer is the prime time to try out something you've only thought about. For example, if you are still in school you will be going on summer vacation for some time and you never know who you will see but the chances are not everyone from your whole school so what do you do? You get a hair cut! RIGHT? So why does that have to change because your an adult? Everyone knows that when your body is hot the last thing you want is tons of hair on the back of your neck. An although many people think, "how is cutting my hair going to give me a new look, it's just a hair cut?" Well it will and I'm not sure about most people but I believe that a new cut requires some new clothes. Yes, having a new cut can tend to make your old clothes look a little lively but nothing is better than a new pair of anything that can complement the new you. So for summer I have 2 all time haircuts that are must do's.

1. The bob.

I know, this can be a drastic change note the whole new look thing previously stated. So why the bob. Its fun, sheek, easy to maintenance, can wear it numerous ways, and overall sexy! You can do a blunt bob, a layer bob,  bob with a bang, or even an paige boy bob. There are so many options it can be wicked short or   medium length with tons of layers. This hairstyle makes any outfit adorable. It's just that playful of a cut and it actually slims your face down a bit so if that sounds like a plus for you go for it.

2. Mid Length layers.

It's a new change but not as severe as the bob. It gives you a little more to play with. You can still do the typical things you could have with your long locks it just has a little less twist to it. The layers give body to your hair and an exciting look to your face. It too is very easy to maintenance, and can be dressed up or down.

So the choice is yours. But fun fact if you opp for the bob your hair is most likely to grow out into the mid length layers so its like getting 2 for the price of one

Gold Accents

It appears that gold is something you are seeing more and more of. Make up artist have made it something that you will see a lot more on peoples physical body, and I'm not talking about nail polish. There are now a lot more eye shadows, powders, and eyeliner out their with gold accents making it possible for you to add a little shimmer and sass to your look.

Missing a button

So has this happen to you..


Lost one of your buttons on a shirt/jacket, or maybe the button on your jeans popped off. But how about this one you just bought some cheap clothing and the buttons where a lost cost.


Now there are many people out there who don't know how to sew a button on. Well this is dedicated to you guys.

How to sew on a button:

1. Make sure you have the right size button for your needs.
2. Double check that all of the excess thread from the previous button has been removed from the garments.

3. Thread your needle. (tips. licking the thread makes it condensed, so you can get the whole string of thread in. Also holding the needle and thread up to a light makes it easier to see the whole in the needle.) 

4. Place the button on the area you want it to be on the garment.
5. Once you have the thread to the length you feel will be enough to sew on the button double knot it at the  end in order to hold things together.
6. On the inside layer of the fabric poke a hole to go threw the bottom whole of the button. (Make sure you start from the inside of the garment so the knot is not visible.)
7. Then proceed to place the needle into the button whole next to it. Repeat that motion 2x.
8. Next move the thread to the button whole on top. Repeat that motion 2x.
9. And so on and so on until you feel the button is firm an well secured.
10. Last step is to tie a knot in the back to make sure all of the pieces of thread stay put.
Good Luck and Let me know if pictures are needed..

Monochromatic eyes and lips

So taking the monochromatic trend like every trend has taken the next step and moved into make-up. Monochromatic is just the same color but in different shades. For example you could have a bright red eye and a little darker lip. Try it out but just like with clothing make sure your wearing the right shades for your skin completion. If you are to pale or to dark the really bright colors will not look good on you. For darker skin rich colors can pop and complement your shade, As for the paler people stay away from oranges or to bright of pinks. An nice medium toned color or earthy colors sit nice on your skin. Also what the trend has done is take the monochromatic colors of your natural skin tone and paired them up so if you are a medium brown you'd wear a light brown eye shadow and a little bit of a darker lip. Refer to the picture.

How-To-Wear:HighLow Skirts

High-Low skirts are one of the hottest things for summer. If you have no clue what I'm talking about they are the skirts that are longer in the back.
These are so easy to wear all you have to do it find a matching top, or a complementary colored top. You could also match them with a printed top, it could be short sleeve, long sleeve, halter top, or even a crop top shirt. If your feeling edgy maybe a ruffled shoulder and some combat boots. These skirts are great because you can wear your hair in a bun add a short necklace and a nice lip, wear a halter top, high- low skirt and some sandals or heels (or mary janes) for a classy girly look. Or you could rock it with a leather jacket shirt with zippers on then and a little bootie or combat boots.


So try it out you won't regret it.

How- To-Wear: Crop Tops

Crop tops.

Now I have seen a few things such as --belly no undershirt, big breast no bra, the wrong colored tank under it..just to name a few.

There are so many great ways to wear a crop top, but those are not the ones. So lets get down to it, crop tops. The best way that I find adorable if you have a little bit of a belly to wear a high waisted pants to cinch your waist in a little and keep it controlled. Then you could opp for a nude undershirt or if your feeling confident no undershirt, and add the top. Or you could pair it  with a nice skirt and show off a little belly. Another way would be shorts. An  if you want to do the sexy look how about some fancy stockings, mary- janes and a leotard. (Just monitor where you where the sexy look, and that you have the right body type for to pull of this look.)
