Polka Dot Prints: The Latest Obsession

Polka dots have become my latest fashion obsession.  There’s something about combining this pattern with a bold color or dainty accessory that makes it a great fashion look.

And polka dots (in today’s design) can be seen in a variety of hues and textures.  This pattern basically goes with anything!

To my surprise,  I was able to find a “delectable” pair of polka dot jeans (with a zipper on the side.)  I instantly gravitated towards these jeans because I have never seen a pair (of jeans) in this pattern and of course they were a great price.

At that time, I wasn’t quit sure how I would wear the jeans but I knew they were a good purchase.  Luckily, after brining them home I discovered several options for my new polka dots jeans.

For me, the most important point to remember about polka dots is that this pattern can refresh any wardrobe and be worn year round.  Whether a summer blouse, cashmere sweater, or fitted blazer, polka dots are a fashion must have.

Eyebrow Envy: The Secret to Having Great Eyebrows

Do you ever see individuals with perfect eyebrows and instantly get “eyebrow envy?”  Well, apparently there’s a little secret to having great eyebrows and we’re going to share it.

And it’s not enough to have a waxing treatment or receive professional threading.  Beauty gurus are sculpting their eyebrows in 5 minutes or less by using the “shading” technique.

The “shading” technique on your eyebrows can be the difference between looking like a school girl or a super model.

Ultimately, with this technique “the eyes have it” and with great eyebrows your face can stand out and look flawless.

STEP ONE: THE TOOLS NEEDED TO “SHADE” EYEBROWS

 

A concealer that’s lighter than your skin complexion

Select an eye pencil that’s close to your skin complexion

Purchase an eyebrow brush and eye shadow kit

 

STEP TWO: WATCH THE VIDEO AND TRY AT HOME

 

Quick Tip: Clean your brows with tweezers or a razor prior to achieving that perfect shape!

Inauguration Fashion: Michelle Obama Wears Jason Wu

Jason Wu has done it again by designing a ravishing, red gown for Michelle Obama!  The fabric used for this gown is velvet and chiffon, where the first lady’s dress has a halter top, fitted waist, and flowing skirt.

To pull this look together, she’s also wearing a pair of red pumps from the shoe designer Jimmy Choo.  It is safe to say that Jason Wu has the right touch when dressing the first lady and it’s shown by his design tonight!

Inauguration Fashion: My Michelle Obama Bangs

When the photo of Michelle Obama wearing bangs surfaced, my heart skipped a beat! I loved seeing her wear bangs because this style is youthful, fun, and very “mode.”  The hair style also demonstrates that she’s not afraid of versatility and change.

Michelle Obama pushes the limits from her hair to her fashion. What an inspirational first lady!

 

Michelle Obama Inspired Hair Style 

This photo (of me) was taken on August 2012 while visiting the Maryland State Fair with my kids.  At that time, I needed a quick hairstyle that I could flat iron in minutes.  Of course everyone was waiting on me to leave for the fair grounds (smile.)  Who would’ve ever thought (on that day) I would see the first lady with a similar style on her birthday!
