Glamour tip for the holiday:)

When it comes to the holidays, do you find yourself applying the same color on those lips?

How about pink?  Although pink is a girl's best friend, there are times when I want to wear pink on my lips, but don't know if it is too "barbie looking"? But then again, wearing pink on my lips gives me a "feminine" moment of being girlee! :)

Here are a few tips of of how to wear the right shade... of pink... so you can look sexy, classic, and maybe catch the attention of your "Ken's" eyes:

First, pink can be a very flattering shade as long as it the color matches your gums! :) "In Syle" Magazine recommends that when choosing a shade of pink, to make sure that it is NOT any  lighter then your gums. Another tip, use a "natural color" lip liner pencil and use a good quality lip brush to paint the lipstick on and you will have beautiful lips with staying power. Finally, for an extra sexy pout... dab a bit of gloss in the middle of the upper and lower lip and you are good to go! :)

Now go out there and give your Ken a big old smooochhh!

Merci!

Happy Holidays!  I hope that you are enjoying this time of year by celebrating with SPARKLE!  Although we love cocktail dresses, we may feel overdressed if we were to wear it at a luncheon, party, or dinner.

 So, you go through your closet and think, "What in the heck can I wear?"and it drives you crazy, lol!!!  What is a girl to do? But wait, the Fashion Gods spoke to me today!

Here it is, the solution and the best part, keeping your budget on track! :) I stumbled across this in my daily "Vogue" updates... a beautiful belt that will jazz up a pair of your favorite pair of jeans, slacks, blouse,  dress or skirt... compliments of J Crew $25! Good enough for Vogue and definitely good for me and my Fashion Goddesses! What a perfect gift for someone.. wrapped in a beautiful gift bag with a gorgeous bow! :)

Whatcha think?  Another idea, might be to take a basic tank, t and black blazer with jeans, and a sexyyyy pair of black boots!

Enjoy your holiday shopping and sparkle, sparkle, sparkle!

Stay tuned for more ideas as how to build your wardrobe on a budget :)

Indulge in a little luxury during the holiday season for only $10 bucks!

Bon Jour Mademoiselles!  Wow!  The holiday season is quickly approaching upon us and it can be such a whirlwind.. As much as we all love the "spirit" of this special time of year, it can be stressful; having to shell out cash for a new smashing outfit(s) for the parties, buying gifts, traveling, etc.. (but you have to admit, deep down, we like it! :) . But sometimes we need to treat ourselves with all of the hustle and bustle - and we can't always afford to keep spending - but oooohh what the magic of  a new nail polish color and costume jewelry will do for a girl!

I went back to MI for the weekend for a Baptism and went shopping with my Mom, Sis, and Niece.  As we were looking around, I really fell in love with many "cocktail/holiday dresses", and wish that I had somewhere to wear these.  But we don't really go to any fancy parties, so that idea was out the window.  Then I went to "The Icing" (A sister store of Claire's Boutique), it was fun to look at the glitzy jewelry, accessories, and NAIL POLISH!  Yep, nail polish ---  I used to have so many colors, but over the years, I haven't "treated" my nails to such luxury, because of all of the cleaning, etc.. it can be a waste of time. lol.  But, I must say, that I FELL in love with many colors and thought, how fun!   I felt like I was "dressing up" my nails and and my hands! I even bought one of those beautiful Big Rings with gold/rhinestones at Forever 21 for $4.99~

So,,,, here is the color that I purchased -(although the pic is Chanel, I purchased the same color but it is an "ICING" Brand). Girls,  I must tell you, this nail polish is EXCELLENT!  This particular "ICING" nail polish compares and feels like an OPI brand. But, the cost is only $4.80 and they had some beautiful colors on clearance...

I must tell you  that I feel very chic wearing this color and with my ring,, it was beautiful.  It really makes me feel like it is a "Winter - Celebration" and my big old ring is like a snowflake on my hand. Sometimes the little things in life and  the inexpensive things can make the biggest difference - you can get a little lift and it only costs $10 bucks!

Step outside of your box, try something different - It is only Nail Polish! :)  What color do you want to try?

Merci!
