What is GLAMOROUS??? Part I

What is Glamorous? We know that we all want to feel it, but how do we get there? This August 2010 cover of Harpers Bazaar shows Cameron Diaz looking, in my opinion, like the epitome of Glamour. Wouldn't you agree? 

  Don't think that you have to save Glamour strictly for evening. Below I have listed a few different ways that you too can look and feel just as Glamorous as Cameron, but maybe we just tone it down a little for your daytime look.

 Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Red Collection RD 165
 
Red lips can be very glamorous and can be worn during the day. Sometimes the right red can be difficult to find. There are millions of different red shades to choose from! Stick to a neutral red. One that is not too cool or too warm. I love the one by Shu Uemura pictured above. I had to have it when I learned that this was one of Madonna's top picks. The color is a neutral shade so it looks great on any skin tone and it will bring a little instant Glam into your look.

Pearls, pearls and more pearls! Pearls are one of the most Glamorous accessories that I can think of and they have been worn by so many fashion icons over the years.
Think Breakfast at Tiffany's.
{see below}
Pearls ad instant Glam to an otherwise ordinary black ensemble. Pearls also help to brighten up your face. They give you a glow that makes your face come to life!


Another way to look and feel Glamorous is to create a very sleek and straight hairstyle. You can achieve this look with three of my favorite products.
1) Proclaim Glossing Polish Color and Heat Protector
2) Andis 62390 Aero Straight To The Root 1- inch Ceramic Flat Iron
I love this flat iron. Because of it's pointed end you can easily get to the root of your hair.
3) Goldwell Diamond Gloss Spray Shine
This gives your hair that glossy finish that you only see on celebs and models. Spray it on dry hair after you get it all styled for that diamond like shine.


Stay tuned. There is more to come on simple ways that you can incorporate some instant Glam into your every day life!

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
