Flirty and Fun!

Crop tops, bra tops, bandeau tops and the bralette top inspired me to put this look together! I truly never thought that I could pull off a crop top because I am only 5″1 and my torso is about 6 inches long but I think I did ok:) This is a fun look that I would wear out to dinner or a night out with the girls! Since I work in a office during the day I probably wouldn’t wear the crop top but would switch it out with a silk white button up.

Favorites At The Moment…

Everyone has their favorite pair of shoes, favorite blazer that they try to pair with everything in their closet and their favorite shade of lipstick that is perfect for the season! Below are my favorites at the moment!

My first fav is a new primer from Benefit called “Stay Flawless 15 Hour Primer.” The difference between this primer and other primers out there, is that this primer is more like a balm. So you will first wash your face, moisturize, apply the primer balm and then apply your foundation or compact and POOF! You have a great 15 hour stay.

These glosses are oldies but goodies NYX! I love that they have a matte finish to them and the lip color lasts for about 6 hours without re-applying 🙂 Another plus is that these babies are only $6 a pop at Ulta! My favorite color at the moment is “Sydney,” it is a pale pink color that is perfect for summer!

Love this black fringe bag from H&M and for only $30 I get a lot of use out of it and it’s also big enough to hold my laptop! I don’t know what it is about fringe this summer but I am seeing it everywhere!

I love a statement piece that can be paired with various looks in my closet. The crystal color stone earrings from J.Crew go with just about everything. I would wear the earrings with almost every color (black, nude, brown, plum purple, turquoise, lime green and coral).

I love to wear maxi dresses! They are so comfortable and easy to wear in the summer time! This maxi is from Privity Boutique in Gilbert. I also like to pair this maxi with a light denim vest or jacket. Another fav at the moment is this gold head-piece. I bought mine at Forever 21 a few months ago and I just love it because I don’t have to accessorize too much because it’s a statement piece within itself 🙂 I always make sure to piece my hair down the middle and lay the t-shaped head piece down the middle of my head. I wear this look when I have straight hair because the head-piece seems to stay in place.

Last but not least is this black jumpsuit I bought at Bebe! It is simple, yet elegant. I recently wore this beauty to a cocktail party with one of my beautiful girlfriends! It was a very comfortable look that I paired with a bright necklace.

Barbie v.s. Real Women

When I was a kid the only thing I ever wanted to do was play Barbies, I could play with them for hours on end. At times my mom would check on me because she wouldn’t hear a peep out of my room and was worried…..and there I was playing with my dolls in their pink mansion and pink corvette. Little did I know at the time, Barbie was as unrealistic as a pink unicorn. 🙂

Today I stumbled across an article by the Huffington Post, “Barbie’s Proportions On A Real Woman Are Mildly Terrifying.” The picture below explains it all.

This is a picture of an average women in the United States and in black, is an outline of a Mattel Barbie Doll. This is an astonishing picture. If this outline was the size of a person; they would not have any room to hold any vital organs, and their skinny ankles and child-size feet would make it necessary to walk on all fours.

Illustrator Nickolay Lamm put together a Barbie, based on what she would look like if she had normal measurements. In comparison, when scaled up to human size, Barbie dolls would have unhealthy measurements of an 18″ waist, 33″ hips and a 36″ bust compared with the typical 19-year-old girl’s 31″ waist, 33″ hips and a 32″ bust.

Lamm said: “My last Barbie project got a lot of criticism because Barbie is a toy and people argued that a toy can’t do any harm.” Lamm is referring to a project he undertook after a picture of Barbie without make-up went viral, where he mocked up pictures of other dolls to show what they would look like without make-up. (Shown Below)

Thanks for reading my fun finds…style on ladies and gentlemen.

Gel Nail Art!

I look forward to my Monday evenings because I usually get my nails and toes done; it puts a happy spin on my Mondays! I have been going to Azul Day Spa for the past couple months and I have fallen in love! There are so many fun designs and nail art to choose from that I thought it would be fun to post some nail art that will hopefully inspire you to use! All of these designs are with gel nail polish or gel coats (if you’re looking for a manicure that lasts longer than your usual week, consider a gel polish manicure as a substitute for the original manicure. Not only will you be potentially protecting your nails from the repeated wear of original manicures, you’ll also be coating your nail in a protective case of gel and vitamin E).

The picture on the left corner is from Pinterest and the picture in the right top corner is my nails done by Azul Day Spa! I didn’t want to have glitter on every single nail because I thought it was too busy for me since the glitter was very chunky; so I decided just to try one nail on each hand and “POOF” a fun new design!

Fun ombre look with a cool summer color!

Another great color for the summer or even spring!

This is one of my favorite colors because I feel that it goes with everything!

This is a very popular shaped nail that I have been seeing a lot of in various fashion magazines!

I love this simple yet fun nail design. You can do this with almost any color underneath the glitter!

From the looks of it…I am picking a lot of nail colors that I would wear during the summer time! This is one of them! I love the different ombre colors intertwined together. It is a perfect touch for summer!

What girl doesn’t LOVE glitter?

This reminds me of spring-time in San Diego (I have no idea why?)

I hope I inspired you to try something new next time you get your nails done <3

Style on Ladies and Gentlemen and Happy Fourth!

10 Year Reunion?!!!

A little over a month ago it actually “sunk in,” that my 10 year reunion is a couple of months away. It’s shocking to believe because I feel like I just graduated college a couple of years ago (but in actuality it was in 2006….yikes!). 10 years ago I thought I would be single, successful and surrounded by my amazing family and friends……only thing different from what I thought; is that I am married to the man of my ultimate dreams! 🙂 I wanted to write this blog because a lot of people are probably wondering what they should wear to their reunion! Our reunion is at a hotel, so I will probably go a little dressier than casual. Before I get started I had to share some of my high school pictures!

Below are some fun ideas for your high school reunion! 🙂

Had to post this picture because when I think of high school reunion’s I think of Romie and Michelle! (Probably not a look I would recommend but I love this movie).

This plum purple one shoulder dress is perfect for the curvy woman! The roughing is a great camouflage around the tummy and covers in all the right places.

This simple royal blue cotton dress is great for a casual reunion for almost any body type.

This little black dress pairs up perfectly with a colorful boyfriend blazer in coral, red or even fuchsia.

I think every woman should own a dress in this cut and color. This chiffon green dress is a great fit for almost every shape.

Another fun print and a fun color combo that I love! This dress can be paired with nude shoes and gold accessories!

More on the sexy side; is this sweetheart cut tube dress that is very form-fitting to the body. I recommend wearing nude shoes with this look and staying very minimal on the accessories.

This last look is a simple, black v-neck dress that I absolutely love! This dress can be layered in lots of jewels to make it stand out and I would also pair this dress with nude shoes! <3

Happy Sunday and Style on Ladies!

Ensemble Fashion Show

This Saturday I had the pleasure of working with Allie Olson, owner of Allie Ollie Boutique and designer of the Ensemble line. The funny story behind this, is after she asked me to style her show through email; I looked her up on facebook and realized that we went to broadcasting summer camp together over 11 years ago. I even have proof! Below is a picture we took during summer camp at a Phoenix Suns game and the picture underneath is us at a Phoenix Fashion Week Meet Up event a couple of weeks ago! Boy have times changed….and I lost my cheeks! 🙂

This fashion show not only was fun but went to a great cause! By bringing in pieces of clothing for the Sojourner Center (that provides temporary homes as well as programs that teach self-sufficiency, empowerment, and family skills, which helps women from domestic violence rebuild their lives and re-enter society) you received 50% off your purchase at Allie Ollie.

The pieces in the ENSEMBLE line are all about redefining mix and match style; they are designed for versatility and fun (as always) for women of all ages. All pieces are machine washable, made in the USA, and are great for either career or travel dressing because everything is wrinkle free.

All of the hang tags for the line were shot in the heart of Arizona, outside in the beautiful desert.

Couldn’t have done it without my amazing style team! Thank you so much ladies for making everything backstage calm, cool and collective! Special thanks to Audree and Janae that helped me style!

Happy Sunday. Style on!

Vegan Way Life.

I had lunch with one of my friends today and we were discussing how much the “Vegan life,” has grown over the last couple of years. Going green is now a total lifestyle and some people don’t even know that they are wearing it.

Like TOMS, some of their shoes are 100% vegan; which means that they are all “sustainable” materials that contain recycled, natural fiber and/or organically grown components that are grown or manufactured using processes that minimize negative impact on the environment. (Picture Shown Below)

I love these very tropical and colorful TOMS, they look great with dark or even light denim skinny jeans and a casual cotton top. I would even pair these shoes with a pair of denim shorts and a colorful boho top!

Another popular boutique that carries vegan clothing is Free People. The first Free People boutique opened back in 1970 and when owner, Dick Hayne decided to open his second location he changed the name to Urban Outfitter. Then in 1984 customers wanted something more feminine, so Hayne decided to get back to his roots and open various Free People boutiques around the U.S.

These Black Laser Hem Vegan Shorts are one of their most popular “vegan” pieces of their collection. I love them because they can transition from day to night with just a change of shoes from flats to stilettos.

I am completely obsessed with this Nude Double Breasted Vegan Leather Jacket, even though I live in Arizona and rarely need to wear a jacket, it is light enough where I will feel comfortable wearing it in this 100 degree weather. I would pair this jacket with a floral dress and a pair of Vegan TOMS!

Are you vegan inspired yet? If not keep reading…… 🙂

Ecolissa.com launched Sept. 1st 2010 and carries only fashionable eco friendly and vegan woman’s clothing and accessories made of sustainable materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, soy, and hemp. Many of their products are also made in the USA or fair trade.

I love this Mata Traders Aztec Skirt, that almost looks like a skirt that I already have in a different color (I wonder if it is a vegan skirt?). This summer you will see a lot of Aztec prints; it’s been really popular in the East Coast and now making it’s way to Arizona. I like to pair my aztec prints with solid colors; for example, if you are wearing an aztec top, I would then pair it with a solid color on the bottom because your don’t want to over do it.

I hope all of you enjoyed my blog post today on Vegan Fashion…special thanks to my friend January for putting this idea in my head!

Style On Peeps!
