Fall make up trends


When your thinking of makeup and fall is approaching your thinking red orange and brown. Well those are the colors I think of. If you’re someone that’s always wearing lip colors like orange and pink go with red a chocolate brown or magenta. I never try on any lip gloss or lip stick but I’m not a fan of lip stick though. Sephora has a huge selection of lip colors and samples; they have little sticks you can use to try the colors on. I advise you to try it on your hand first and whatever colors you like the most on your skin I guess you could try it on your lips. I personally think that is nasty.  Futuristic makeup such as geometric eyeliner which I LOVE also really thick eyeliner. Color blocking eye shadow I think it’s unique and as a high school student this wouldn’t be my everyday makeup unless I went to an art school. With color blocking eye shadow you could do red lid with purple eye shadow on your eyebrows, or you could use to colors on your eyes without blending or using mascara that’s some bold color. If you’re looking for something simple just do a smoky brown look. I hope you beauties have fun with your make up and fall fashion.

Fall trends

It's the end of July and fall is approaching and if your a student I'm sure you have already started your back to school shopping. I made a mistake and I didn't check out any of the new trends I was just happy to go shopping ; I'm not done though! But back to the point of this post. So this fall you'll see glitter and sequins a great way to stand out. Patterns and prints aren't going anywhere a spring trend was mixing print which wasn't so noticeable I tried it and loved it but that won't be my favorite fall trend. My favorite fall trend that I might just try is baroque. I saw what Dolce and Gabbana and was to excited I went to another website to see what they had well let's just say I'll keep looking because I don't have D&G money. Surprisingly velvet is coming back I have never liked anything velvet and I really don't plan on purchasing anything velvet. Shoulder padded jackets this I don't have a problem with because I recently brought a shoulder padded shirt from a thrift store two weeks ago to do a D-I-Y with. I don't think any of my blazers are shoulder padded but Monica the beautiful singer that's married to LA lakers shooting guard can pull off a shoulder padded blazer better then anybody. Next trend that has to be my second favorite a shirt with a bow simple, elegant and cute. Next is crochet I didn't think I was going to like this but I ended up liking it I think the only affordable stores I would see this trend in is http://www.forever21.com/Product/Main.aspx?br=f21 and http://www.hm.com/us/ Next trend that I loved when I was a freshman in high school I say it like it wasn't three years ago was all black now I prefer all white which is another fall trend this my favorite no matter what the season is. There are many more trends but I'm stopping with these I might do some more trends but have a beautiful, fashionable blessed day :)

Items of the month

Hello beauties! I thought I should show you one of my favorite things I came across this month Steve Madden and something I came across that I didn't like which is from forever21, my favorite store! I hope you enjoy this post as well as my other posts. Feel free to leave comments, ask questions and follow/subscribe. my blog. Have a great and safe weekend beauties!



If you follow me on twitter then you saw me tweet these Steve Madden black wedges with many prints which I LOVE PRINTS. I use to wear black a lot and now I love color I'm so bubbly so why show it with my clothes. These shoes say a lot with the different patterns. I feel like the shoes define me and I want them so bad but I don't want to pay 99.95 for them.

This is from forver21 as you can see it's with the love & beauty line. I don't remember what it's called and being I'm doing this post before I go to D.C I don't have time to look for it but it could be on my twitter. I got it because it said GLOW IN THE DARK. I was excited and impressed but I was let down I don't like this nail polish and I'm still trying to figure why. I love forever21 but I doubt I will buy nail polish from them again it was 2.80. Cheap isn't always good

How to stay hydrated during the summer

Hello beauties! I hope all is well in this heat! So earlier this week my boyfriend got sick and I panicked like any girlfriend would and should do. He went to urgent care and they told him he was dehydrated and I thought this heat is no joke, I should do a post on some foods that can help you stay hydrated. I hope you beauties are drinking plenty of water and wearing your sunblock! God Bless and have a fashionable and safe weekend


      Cucumbers because they contain A LOT of water in them with vitamin A and vitamin C. If you were in the sun to long and you got sunburn the peel can relieve sunburn. They have a lot of fiber in it! I love fiber. They can prevent kidney or bladder stones and lowers blood pressure.


   Watermelons just like cucumbers they contain a lot of water hello WATERmelon. I read that they are both 95% water.
3

 Those green smoothies. I’ve tried one and it was gross ; they have a lot of fiber which I love I am a big fan of fiber. It has plenty of nutrients. Don’t let my word discourage you from drinking this.

       Green Salads because a lot of lettuce has a lot of water and lettuce contains fiber and you should use a olive oil dressing they can be healthier than regular dressing.



.     Apples and applesauce. I just love Granny Smith Apples yumm. Apples help with lowering cholesterol preventing cardiovascular disease and cancer. Granny smith apples also have less sugar then the red apples. They have vitamin C which helps your immune system.

6     Red Bell Peppers which are packed with vitamins

7       Pineapples They are too sweet but it has something called bromelain which helps with digestion and they have proteins that can block blood clots and they help with blood circulation.

8       Skim Milk it keeps you hydrated more than Gatorade does. I was surprise when I read this Menshealth says that the fat in the milk can delay absorption and that chocolate milk helps too

9     Eggplants I hate eggplants the thought of them are making me sick right now

   Cantaloupe basically just like watermelon it has plenty of water

Some of my favorite Fashionistas

I have many styles that I love grown and sexy like the Kardashians sister plus an Odom. I love my prints and bold colors like Solange who has great hairstyles too! A taste of bohemian like Nicole Richie. If you know me then you know my closet is filled with skirts nice shirts and heels from Aldo, Steve Madden and Nine west just to name a few stores that always has my size which is a 10. I hate jeans I have over 20 pairs of them and please believe I'm about to sale at least half of them. Overall Solange is my favorite she is NOT scared to be different from her hair or her style. Her natural hair goes great with the BOLD prints and BOLD colors she loves to wear. Have a great day beauties!

Kardashian sisters and a Odom :)
