Strange Beauty

The incredible and phenomenally talented Alexander McQueen.

If I could chose only one designer as my one favorite it would be McQueen.

He was the ultimate fashion designer and will forever be the Fashion King through history. After all he dressed the rich, the famous and even the future Queen thanks to Creative Director Sarah Burton.

His impeccbly detailed and striking but strange garments has rightfully made him one of the most famous designers of all time.

He is so inspiring for someone who loves being creative with fashion, creating bold statements with couture dress by using a range of fabrics, silhouettes and styles. He pushed the boundries and explored new direction by creating exciting collections.

He has given me so much inspiration with just the way I view fashion. It's not just clothes and fabric. It's art.

July 4th Essentials

Hello Beauties...

Happy Independence Day!!! Here are some key fashion and beauty tips to stay cool, yet stylish!
Wear light colors...and light fabrics. If you're going to a BBQ, wear something comfortable, fun and flirty. You never know who you may meet.

1. Wear white.. Even if you're cooking out, it's okay to wear white. You will stay cool and look glamourus.
2. Wear a red lip.. Every skin tone can pull off red lipstick. It will also make you you feel festive,
3. Wear barely there makeup.. It's July. That means it's hot. Keep your makeup simple. You don't want to add shine to sweat.
4. Wear open toe shoes.. Get a pedi and let those beauties breathe!!
5. Be patriotic!! Wear flag cut offs, or a flag t-shirt or get an American flag manicure!

Whatever you choose, just have FUN!!!!

Stay sweet!

New Found Shoe Lover

Lately, I've really been infatuated with SHOES! I know you may say "aren't we all??" Don't get me wrong, I've always liked shoes. Just not as much as the next woman. Give me a few great pairs and I'm okay. Within the last couple of months, different shoe styles have really been catching my eye. Especially the curved wedge! This shoe is sexy and edgy. Not to mention looks very comfortable. (to me anyway) Lets take a look at some of my favorite shoe and boot styles..

DIY Nails

Hello Beauties.. Do it yourself fashion and nails has been all the rave this year. I must admit, I have not gotten  around to try anything! :-( I know, I know!! Working full-time, being the mother of the busiest 3 year old on the planet and TRYING to put together a business plan for a future business makes it a little hard to think about doing my own nails. But, I've found a really cool design that I just may try. I was on Buzzfeed.com and this is what I saw.. DIY Nail Art Designs using Scotch tape. SCOTCH TAPE?!?!! I HAVE SCOTCH TAPE!! I can TOTALLY DO THIS!! This one is called "Op Art Nails".. Tell me what you think...
