Beauty

Part of fashion is beauty. The ultimate accessory is, a healthy body. Many times, our skin and hair is damaged by hair styling products, make-up, and ignorance of your body's health. Here are some ReALly helpful tips.

Hair Washing

Top Ten Tips for Hair Care

To Fair and Radiant Skin

Having healthy skin will prevent wrinkles, having healthy hair will prevent hair loss, and dull hair.

Summer Skin Care

If you are ready for summer, then you must make sure you've got NO dry skin, NO oily hair, and you must exercise for those abs. Push-ups, planks, crunches, and the like will help you. A beachy look is shells, shorts, tanks. Well I gotta go...

Perfumery and Hair

I know. I haven't posted in like, fifteen days, but I'm back all right? Perfumery. OK. Don't put too much perfume on, or you'll smell like a skunk, and people will ask, "What's that smell?"

Tip 1: choose something not so strong, and something that you like. I prefer something of a vanilla floral scent.

Tip 2: Spritz in the air and walk under it. This way you can control yourself from putting too much on.

Tip 3: Sometimes when you can't smell it, other people can, meaning never put too much on.

Tip 4: I heard somewhere that you should rub oil on your skin before spritzing, but I think that that will repel the perfume, but if you don't put oil on, the perfume will just sink into your skin and lose its smell, so either way.

Tip 5: If it's in fancy packaging, that doesn't mean it has good quality. It's just to make you pay more money.

Moving on to hair now. Choose a hair style that's more on the natural/organic side of you hair curliness and color. If it frames your face, it should work. Never overwork you hair. That can cause damage and hair loss. Bad idea.

Don't you love this outfit from Sass and Bide? And the shoes too!!!

Sorry

I know I haven't posted in a day, but hey now, I'm posting two days worth of tips here! First of all, don't go to the Salon asking for a chignon. It's pronounced sheen-yon. (Silent g? Hello?) There are some tools that help you. I don't exactly know where I bought my tool, but the link shows you the instructions, but I think it's called whirl a bun. This place shows you how to do it without the tool. And about the magazine bag/mag. bag for short, there are a lot of places where you can learn it, but I prefer this one. There's also a purse you can crochet with yarn and pop tabs. If you don't want to make it, you can buy the purse from Nahui Olin, the preferred one, (no offense Ecoist) Ecoist, the other one, or many others.
J'adore You!!!

I'm Baaaaaccck!!!!

I know It's still the same day, but I need to tell you my style secrets. Don't always wear the same colors. You'll be known as Bluegirl if you always wear blue. For example, text isn't always the same color. If you want to emphasize something, you put it in bold, italic, another color. My favorite outfit is a yellow turtleneck with boyfriend jeans and a chunky bib necklace with chunky bracelets with a big, showy head band and a magazine purse that I made. (I'm a crafty girl) Nahui Olin, Ecoist, and other places sell these, and you can search the internet for instructions. And I also like having my hair in a loose chignon, which is toe-dally like a bun, and putting pretty jeweled barrettes (cheap ones:) ) in it. Chignon instructions can be found on the internet. I'll post further info about the chic chignon and Mag Purse tom. meaning tomorrow.

Oh, and no one has guessed my fave color yet. (Hint: It isn't the color of the words in this paragraph. That's just to throw you off the trail. It's a color close to it in the color wheel, though...

Stay On Top of Fashion

Admit it. Most of us rely on Vogue, ELLE, InStyle, and etc. to tell us what the trends are, right? But by the time you get to know the trends, what you think is "In" is now "Out." I come here to tell you that fashion, for real is... Well I come her to tell you what fashion for real is. Take Vogue for example. (No offense Vogue) Some trends last a long time, but those one week trends, you gotta stay on your toes to catch up.

So the first question is: How to stay on your toes.
Most of us have found it reliable to check Vogue every morning, to make sure you're still on top of fashion. I now, I know. It's not like we're ultra-rich and can do whatever we want with our money to look like our fashion icons, right? But that's another question. So this is how Vogue does it: you scan closely at all the new pictures of your fave stars, and print them, cut them out, and paste them on your inspiration board. Inspiration board. Right. (take notes please) So your fave stars won't want everyone copying them, you have to be unique. So take your stars' clothes, and mix and match them until you've found the perfect makeup, hair, and outfit. to make it easier, I cut all the part off, like paperdoll-wise. Hair for Hair, tops for tops, and so on and so on. Once you've found your perfect outfit, work piece by peice until you've got the whole outfit down. But what if it's already "Out" by the time I'm done? Simple solution: take it back "In."

How to have style on a tight budget.
I know we aren't all as rich as Anne Hathaway, Eva Longoria Parker, Kierra Knightley, or Jennifer Aniston. We're just middle class people, working to live, living to work, working to pay for bills and magazines, and clothes and the such. I won't waste your time doing this, but you can sure DIY one, right? Or you can go to the seamstress. DIY is the cheapest answer I can give you, unless you want only designer name-brands. Then I can't help you with your money problems. It's your problem. But you can set goals like only one outfit a month.

How to set the correct goals
If you're a shopaholic, I can only tell you one thing. Little by little does the trick. Don't go overboard and say, only two outfits per year. Go slowly. If you buy one outfit per week, shorten it to one outfit each two week period of time. Go slowly, until you reach your big goal, which is best to be one outfit per month.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You can tell someone knows they have style when they're dressed in coordinating outfits, and aren't afraid to show it. They hold their heads high, but not too high in the snotty category. More like as in confidence. They tend to have good posture, sometimes slouching a little to have that signature sassy look. You know, legs 4 inches apart, weight usually on the right leg, hands on hips, head up high-ish? So now you know what my blog's about. It's about being yourself, following your dreams, creating you own style. I know it sounds cheesy, but I'll show you what I mean, where to shop, and what fashion actually works. This is Fashion For Real. Some fashion only work on models these tips are tried and true.
