Color=Life

In the breakroom of my job, there has been a magazine on the table for the past week. Everyday, and everytime I go in, I have to pick up this magazine and look at the pictures. The woman that the magazine is devoted to is a timeless beauty, and her sense of fashion is over the top; but I absolutely love it. From bad ass nails to the gorgeous shoes, and lets not forget the flawless face, i am talking about none other than Katy Perry.

US Weekly has an entire issue devoted to the California Girl. The issue is full of color and life. Her vintage/rocker style is truly eccentric. Katy Perry dares to be different, and thats what makes her so beautiful to me.

I stare at this picture everyday...I am absolutely in love with those shoes. This has to be my absolute fav!

Be true to who you are. Thats the beauty of fashion. This edition is out in stores now!

All Work & Some Play

I know we have all been in a situation where we have to work, but there is an event/party right after work that you must attend. Problem is...you don't have time to go home and you don't have time to change. The problem is...what can you wear that is appropriate for work and play? A dress or skirt would be perfect, because you can dress it up or down with ease. Just make sure that the dress is a tasteful length. I would hate for you to flash half of the board room trying to pick up a pen. If you are not sure, bend over in front of a mirror...and you will clearly see if its a go or not! lol! Daytime jewelry should be simple, while nighttime more embellished. In both outfits...the shirt should be tucked in, daytime more blousing, and nighttime all the way in, and maybe unzip the top just a smidge. All work and no play makes for a dull person....so how about all work and some play!!!

Spare No Expense When it Comes to This

Budget and trim the cost are words I often use, but there is one thing that you absolutely have to pay for good quality....and that is nail polish. You know just as well as I do that if you buy cheap nail polish, the polish chips, peels, and doesn't last long at all. Instead, try OPI. The polish is moderately priced...and the variety they have is crazy. They just released their new summer shades and I absolutely love the colors. Try them out!

4th of July Fit

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY ALL!!!!

Of course I know all you you will be hitting up a bbq, cookout, pool party, or even the lake. You want an outfit that is comfortable yet eye catching at the same time. This 'fit has black and white striped scoop neck top combined with camo cargo shorts, which I have fallen in love with. Its on my list of things to get, because they can be paired with basically any color. The stripes and camo go so well together. Remember don't be afraid to mix patterns. As long as it meshes well, then you are good. Dare to be different, and don't be afraid to step out of the box!

Enjoy your day everyone!

Neutral!

One of my best friends is a safety susie. She has impeccable taste and style, but stays within a comfort zone: neutrals. Not a bad thing at all, but I wish she knew how hot she would look in colors!!!!
