Feather Headbands and Hair Accessories

I found this great website for feather headbands and accessories, which are SO hot right now! It's the lamp stand which specializes in candles and fragrance oil but they have a great deal going on their jewelry and accessories right now.

Southwest Patterns and Prints

Southwest patterns and prints are HOT right now. Especially Aztec print.

However, just remember not to over-do it.

It goes great with plain shoes,

and for accessories, go with BEADS! They are perfect for completing the look.

Gold and Black

I love gold and black together! It's super classy. There's all sorts of options to explore with this look and can be done however you want! Black outfit with gold accessories, accessories that are black with gold trim/detail, black bottom with a gold top, gold bottom black top, black dress, gold shawl...The possibilities are truly endless!

Endless

www.endless.com has a TON of different shoes, bags, and jewelry to shop from and choose from. They have anything you could be looking for and they have free shipping and free returns which makes for an even easier shopping experience!

ShoeDazzle

www.shoedazzle.com is a website that you can take a shoe personality quiz, discover your personal style profile and choose the shoes you want from the stylist picks!

Each pair of shoes is only $39.99. SCORE!!!!

Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes

As stated in a previous post (or 5), you can never have too much when it comes to eyelashes and mascara! Hypnose Doll Lashes from Lancome makes a great mascara that make lashes go va-VOOM!

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum

This night repair serum is great for making your skin look great! They've done 25 years of DNA research to see what products work best, and it has definitely paid off!

Try Out Shimmer!

Now that our summer tans are slowly fading away for fall, I suggest adding a little shimmer to brighten up that skin tone! Jennifer Lopez does it perfectly here and she abides by the number one rule of shimmer and that is to not over do it!

Coral is In

If you're getting sick of pink, coral is a fun shade to try out on nails, toenails, and lips and it looks great with any skin tone!

Bold Eyes

Bold eyes add focal point to your look. And remember, there is no such thing as too much mascara!!

A tip for a look like this is to use concealer or primer as a base for eyeshadow to make it last longer and be less likely to smudge and run.

Step Aside, Lip Gloss!

You heard right! Lip gloss is out and lipstick is in. It's so sophisticated and there's a shade for everybody! Start out with a nude or natural color and work your way to more exciting daring colors once you're used to it!

Kardashian Kollection at Sears

The Kardashian sisters (Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney) have released their Kardashian Kollection at Sears! These clothes will hopefully be a little more inexpensive than the ones at the famous Dash stores and are sure to look amazing!

Zakkerz

Zakkerz makes magnetic strips for pants, so you never are in a dilemma when purchasing dress pants. The dilemma I'm talking about is the one where you can't decide whether to buy them long to wear with heels or buy them shorter to wear with flats. This is a magnetic instant hem that is a fantastic idea for any kind of pants/jeans.

Do's and Don'ts of Nude Shoes

There's no doubt about it that nude shoes are in. I'm going to briefly discuss the do's and don'ts of nude shoes, since they are great when done right but look terrible when done the wrong way.

DO: Have a pair of nude shoes! They're great in any season and look fantastic when done the right way.

DON'T: think all nude shoes are the same. There are many different shades of nude.

DO: Buy nude shoes that match your skin tone!

Brightly Colored Clutches

Clutches that are brightly colored are a great fashion accessory! The ones that are in now are very color intense and go with everything.

Showgirl Heels

Think feathers, think glitter and think FUN! Showgirl heels are in right now and as long as they are done right (not too gaudy), I think your look will be a success!
