  • Skinny jeans or leggings and a chunky knit sweater
  • Rock them with a floral dress

MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 & MAC Mineral Skin Finish Powder

Author: admin  //  Category: Product Reviews

I have always been a devoted, long-time wearer of Lancome foundation and powder, but recently I decided to step away from my comfort zone and try something new.  I was nervous at first as my skin is extremely sensitive and does not like change…but, who does!

My decision to switch to MAC was an easy one!  I love everything MAC…eye shadows, lipsticks, glosses, etc. I also love talking with the girl at the MAC counter at Macy’s…she made the switch even easier.

My choices:

  • MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15: A modern foundation that combines a natural matte finish and medium-buildable coverage with broad-spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15. Comfortable and long-wearing: lasts for up to eight hours. Applies smoothly, builds coverage quickly and easily. Contains specially treated micronized pigments and soft-focus powders for a super-smooth look that helps minimize the appearance of imperfections. Absorbs and disperses oil. Contains special skin-conditioning ingredients.
  • MAC Mineral Skin Finish Powder: A luxurious domed face powder formulated from minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day.

If you want your skin to look flawless, almost like a porcelain doll, then I highly suggest trying out these products.  I am so happy I did.

Keep Warm With Glamorous Faux Fur

Author: admin  //  Category: Latest Trends

As we move into fall and the inevitable winter cold weather, we need to find a way to stay warm, yet still look great!  Enter in…Faux Fur!  Gone are the days of ratty, fake looking, overly fabricated faux fur.  We now see lush designs that most people would never even know were fakes.

Some great fur looks have been popping all over:  vests, hats, scarves  even jackets with a hint of fur around the color.  Very hot this season!  My personal favorite is the faux fur vest!  You can glam it up a lace shirt and skirt or rock-it-out with skinny jeans and a pair of knee high boots.

How will you be wearing faux fur this fall and winter?

Over-Sized Chunky Knit Sweaters

Author: admin  //  Category: Latest Trends

As the crisp fall weather appears, we are seeing the need for more layers and heartier clothing.  What a perfect time for the over-sized chunky knit sweater to make its comeback.

I have seen it worn in so many different ways and my personal favorite is the long cardigan paired with leggings, knee high boots and a great belt to pull it all together.  The belt is a must with an over-sized sweater…girls, we need to define our waists!  We don’t want to get lost in the sweater!

Here are a few other ideas on how to wear this trend:

  • Cropped chunky sweater with classic trousers
  • For the layered look – a short sleeve sweater paired with a lace tee
  • Long cardigan with skirt, knee high socks and boots

The great thing about this trend is that it never goes out of style and is a great way to keep stylish and warm!

Handbag Trends

Author: admin  //  Category: Latest Trends

If you are like me, you can never have too many handbags.  They are a great way to pull an outfit together!  Right now we are seeing a division of thought between designers.  While some are bringing back the classics; square & rectangle shapes, minimal hardware and neutral colors, others are going all out and embracing the extreme.  Here we see bold embellishments, exotic leathers, and bold/bright colors. Personally, I love them both, but why not walk on the wild side and choose something over-the-top!

When I walked into the Coach store today, I saw a little bit of all these trends.  There were purses in neutrals and then some in very bright colors and print.  I have to say that my favorite, and the one I bought, was a more neutral color (very surprising), quartz….kind of a blushy, purple.  If that even is a color!

What would you choose?
