Long time...no see

And once again I have neglected my blog.  I woke up today with it on my mind and decided to change it up again.  This time, I want to add some craftiness to the mix.  Plus, perhaps I can talk about other things besides beauty.  Everyone is an expert these days since the internet and current issue of 'whatever' can teach you how to be your own beauty expert.  Nothing new here, but I still like to talk about it.

In fact, I have been freelancing for NARS a lot lately at Nordstrom for anniversary and I have noticed some of the cutest, boldest and quirkiest fashionistas in town!  And what else I noticed and must have are these incredible scarves that are on every mannequin! And maybe I am a little late on this fashion craze but now I must have one OR make my own.  Which is what I think I am going to do.  Most of these scarves range from $18 -$300+ online and in store.  Like I am going to buy a piece of fabric for $300???  My mission tomorrow is to go to the fabric store and purchase a little fabric so I can attempt to create my own fashionable piece of clothing. Anyone of us can do it yet we are mesmerized by what we see in the department store...GUILTY!  Well, I did purchase a few of the very cheap ones online ($11) and I will use those to inspire some creations.  Sorry, I just can't help myself sometimes plus, I get reward points at Nordstrom:)
Well, make it a great day or not and wear a scarf Girlfriend!!!

Let's wear Lace

 

I love a romantic look and this season the ultrafeminine look is lace.  Lace is beautiful, its sheer, its eye-catching (when not overdone) and it is incredibly romantic!  Lace stands out because of its texture, the colors and clingy-ness to the body.  Tops, dresses and formal attire are leaning towards this forgotten fabric and designers are embracing the lace this season. 

Mixing and matching this fabric is not a hard thing to do.  Try a lace top with your favorite jeans and some boots or a cute lace skirt with a nice tank top and a kitten heal.  Layer your look with brightly colored camisoles to create a pop of color under the lace top.  Who knows!  You can have fun with all the options with the look of lace.  So go out and get you some lace, Girlfriend!
