Holiday Makeup Looks!!!

I know that I believed New Years Eve make up was usually all about the sparkle, shimmer and shine!! Which I think is an appropriate assumption for the ladies NYE outfits and clothing. But I've learned when it comes to make-up, it doesn't have to shimmer as much as it should POP and compliment what you are wearing. Below I have included 5 excellent make up looks (selected by refinery 29 ) that they and I both agree would be great for Holiday Makeup!! You will see an image and a How To achieve the look below, so I hope that you, find something that you like and ENJOY!!   *side note* if the products that you see listed are out of your price range visit your local drug store for a more economical equivalent. COVERGirl, Maybelline, L'Oreal, and others will have you covered. Subtle Bronze Beauty   Difficulty Level: Easy. First, blend gold and bronze cream shadows together for an extra gilded, customized glow. Sweep the shadow across your lid, up toward the brow bone, and

Ursus Bape Duck Boots!

Good day men and women! I love a good duck boot! They are effective and look nice. Your feet will always be protected while wearing a duck boot due to its solid and sturdy nature. I saw a really nice pair of Polo ones this weekend which renewed my interest in them. At this time I'm writing about the Spring 2011 BAPE pair pictured above. Price not yet available. Available color pictured above. Duck boots can be worn with most relaxed jeans, light cords and pants that come down far enough to touch the body of the boot. Shorter, tight (near the ankle) lengths will make your feet protrude out like an actual duck. That = No Good! Image source: Highsnobiety Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

One of the Reasons I Miss LA!!

Yesterday, December 13th in Los Angeles, CA the temperature topped near 70 degrees and today, the low was 49 with a high at 69. I so envy that warmer temperature right now. I am fully aware that Los Angeles isn't the only warm weather climate in the winter months but it is the one that I relate to personally. I used to live in Los Angeles, a few years back and my first visit there was the day after Christmas, December 2005. Imagine, going from cold, blistery Indianapolis, weather to rolling up La Cienega Blvd, seeing people with their convertible tops down.....ohhhh refreshing :) Anyway, Reese Witherspoon inspired my LA post today by what she wore yesterday. If I was in LA, I would probably definitely be in a cardigan and skirt too, probably a platform sandal or wedge peep toed boot though and yes, keep the shopping bags, of course. Melrose, here I come!! What do you think of her look?

Fashion and Style Is Not Just About The Physical!

There are two things that I would like to touch on this Sunday morning. The first being, we are almost into winter, but at stores and boutiques around the world, the Spring 2011 product will slowly begin to arrive. The Spring 2011 runway looks have been published since September 2010. And the Fall 2011 apparel will be viewed February 2011 in a couple of months at Mercedez Benz Fashion Week. Point, we are living in the winter season but fashion is not dictated by the current season. Meaning, you can shop and stock for an upcoming season if you see something that you like, it almost makes sense to. The second thing I would like to stress is that fashion is not just ALL about appearance. Yes, it is one of the first things people notice when they meet you and the quality and care of your garments and shoes is important. But there are also eco friendly fashions that are environmentally sound and there are fashions that promote positive causes in their mottos, campaigns (Keep A Child Alive

R. Lynda Indy Based Designer With National Appeal!!

R. Lynda is a fresh faced fashion designer, who has done more for the fashion industry scene in Indianapolis in a few years than most designers, that I have seen emerge from the corn state of Indiana. I once worked as a style assistant back stage for a show that R. Lynda put on at the Embassy Suites, about 3 years ago. At that time. the wardrobe was based mostly off of her own possessions and fashionable pieces, alongside Berny Martin adding in a few pieces from his own personal collection. Now, R. Lynda is in full fledged fashion designer mode presenting her own collection to Indianapolis as of last season, getting apparel placements on a top celebrity (Raven-Simone), her design is also featured on the cover of The Fashion Wrap Up Magazine December issue and she has recently launched her web boutique . R. Lynda is making waves in the sea of fashion and has the talent and know-how to be successful at doing so. R. Lynda's price points are very reasonable. Take a look below

Ladies and Gents Winterize Your Vehicles!!!

Today, I have included a few tips that I think will help you keep your vehicles in good shape throughout the winter. Please read and tke your car maintenance very seriously. See below for details. Check your antifreeze Your antifreeze (the juice that goes in your radiator) is an essential part of your car's winter protection. Your car contains a 50/50 mix of water and antifreeze.  Inspect your tires Take the time to check the tread depth. Replace your wipers Your wipers keep your windshield clean and safe. Check your windshield washer fluid Make sure its full.*Tip: Don't fill your washer fluid reservoir with anything except washer fluid, it won't freeze! **BONUS** Let your car warm up until the temperature gage reaches a normal temperature, before pulling off. This prevents engine damage. For more information on the article "Winter Auto Maintenance Checklist", follow this link .

Proof I Set Trends, Not Follow Them!!

On April 8th, 2010 I blogged about a wonderful Balmain trench, that I went cuckoo for cocoa puffs over! Click here to read that article.

The Simple Things!

I was browsing through the Parasuco website, because I noticed they were a featured brand on the site, Beyond The Rack yesterday and for some reason I couldn't successfully enter the Beyond the Rack sale. So I decided to view the Parasuco site directly to see what has been going on with their line since, this past June. Below you will see only a top half of a look and I feel obligated to tell you why this look, inspired me. First of all, every single thing in this image is proportional and symmetrical. The way the hair hits the shoulders and even the models lean, tells a story. The shoulder pads are parallel to the shirt design. The shirt material near the pads are complimenting and accentuating the shoulder pads in a perfect way. No extra material, hanging over the shoulder or out of place in any way. I love the braided band around the hair look and the fact that it is not the same color of the shirt, just allows my inspiration to grow. I believe whomever styled this Paras
