Christina Milian has had one constant during her whirlwind press tour for her new hit E! TV Show ‘Turned Up’ – her Ruthie Davis shoes! Rocking a variety of sky high styles from the collection over the past week, Christina has incorporated these sexy and fun heels into her awesome rocker-fashionsita ensembles.
She has not only been spotted in these shoes, but has shared shots of her rocking them on her Instagram, as well!
High fashion – what does it mean? Is it the vintage dress you purchased or the couture you snapped up during Paris Fashion Week? Is it the makeup counter or the latest in organic, chemical free, coeliac-friendly eyeliner? Or is it the DIY dress you crafted out of patches, old material and threads of fluff?
The truth is that it can be all this and more. While the catwalk are brimming with avant-garde styles and designers, the high street can offer replicas at cut prices.
With that in mind, what can you do to make the cheapest styles look like the height of fashion?
The right start to your day
You wake up looking bloated, tired, haggard and a bit like 20-tonne granite sandbags have been placed under your eyes. It’s not a start to your day that screams style, is it?
But that grim feeling doesn’t have to last long if you’ve got the right level of cleanliness at your disposal. So climb out from under your blankets and follow these tips to feel classy come morning.
To start with, throw those expensive beauty products in the bin. They’re brimming with chemicals that could strip the skin or scalp of its many nutrients.
Instead, invest in sodium free shampoo and a chemically neutral body wash. The lack of additives rubbing into your skin will make it look better with every new day you wake up. Top this effect off with a pint of water every morning. It’ll take the edge off your morning coffee and give your skin an extra boost.
Color is king
You’ve probably seen fashion victims wearing colors more garish than a neon Dulux wall chart with sick on it. Pity those poor souls who can’t coordinate colours – just make sure that pity isn’t reciprocated.
Matching the right colors is the key to making even the cheapest outfits look like they were cut by Ralph Lauren himself. Loud primary colors must be offset by a cheeky pattern or quiet colour to tone the outfit down.
Think of mixing the right colors as like walking a dog – sometimes you have to let your dog roam free, but other times that hound has to be held on its leash.
DIY
Trying to define genius in design is like trying to hold an abstract concept in your hands. But at least one factor is easy to put your finger on – personality.
Provided, personality shouldn’t be a difficult thing to find. The craft is the tricky part.
So pick up a few high street items of clothing and see what alterations you can make to give it your unique touch.

Jessica Alba was spotted earlier this week carrying a cinda b tote while on vacation in Mexico w/ her family. What’s special about this tote is that it’s stylish, roomy, and has a removable bottom. I love a chic tote bag because it allows me to carry additional items that can’t fit in my purse.

I’m a sentimental girl that likes to show my unique style through clothing and accessories. For me, jewelry is an extension of fashion; allowing me to be trendy or classic. Pandora bracelets, necklaces, rings, and charms are no exception to this rule.
Made from 14K Gold, Sterling Silver, and Precious Gemstones, Pandora provides beautiful craftsmanship in every design. I am a huge fan of their jewelry because it allows every woman to pay tribute to special moments in their life. According to the company, one can start their Pandora collection by selecting a bracelet, purchase charms that are personal to you, add clips to keep the charms in place, and use a safety chain.
I received my first Pandora bracelet as a Valentine’s Day gift from my husband. The bracelet was a Lobster Clasp with Swarovski Crystals and Pave Charms. It was unique to me because my favorite color is pink. Luckily, my second bracelet was a Barrel Clasp with Murano Glass Charms. I paired each bracelet with a Michael Kors Watch, Tracy Reese Bracelet, and Tag Heart Bracelet from Tiffany & Co.
From a fashion stand point, there are several ways that one can style their Pandora jewelery. Many women like to wear pieces everyday (from the office to soccer practice) and some for special occasions only.
The bracelets and rings can be stacked (worn together) or a single bracelet on each wrist. I also discovered that you can switch out the charms on each bracelet for a different look. For example, my first bracelet came with ten charms; I removed four of the charms and added them to my barrel clasp bracelet.
Pandora also run campaigns with the change of every season such as the Essence Collection or Pre Autumn Collection. This allows customers to select specific pieces to enhance their previous purchases. Lastly, to receive the quality and longevity of owning Pandora jewelry make sure you purchase from an official Pandora retailer. There are several duplicate retailers and you want to ensure that you’re purchasing the Pandora craftmanship.

I am super excited to share this photo from my natural hair journey. Last Spring, Motions Hair Care Products shipped a variety of products to my doorstep for a blogger promotion. During that time, I was suffering from hair breakage and wore several protective styles. In between wearing protective styles, I maintained my tresses with conditioners, trims, and hot steaming.
Anyone who’s a naturalista will confess that you anticipate your hair growing after the big chop. To others, the big chop can be dramatic but I wanted to start with a fresh mane of hair.
In this photo, I am wearing one of my favorite hairstyles (the twist out) which is a simple style that locks in moisture. I also like to wear a variety of hair accessories and deep conditioning treatments in the winter months.
I’ve always been a fan of natural hair and looking forward to continuing this journey. Ladies, share with me a few of your tips and favorite products? Email me at kim@stylelifefashion.com or post below.
