"I am beautiful, no matter what they say" these words ring true for everyone. For this weeks motivational monday,I wanted to start the week with this song. I know whenever I have a bad day, or when I feel like things are not going my way, I listen to "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera on repeat. The goal for this week... to make someones day by telling them that they are BEAUTIFUL!... GO! .. share good vibes and good spirits!! XOXO 
 
Alexander McQueen Designs are always outrages and unique. There are no two similar items, and everything is always a step ahead of the trends for that year.  When you see his stuff, you always know what to expect. I choose him to be my first showcase because his designs are always a step above the rest. His designs have been on every A list celebrity, and Sarah Burton (for AMQ) designed Kate Middleton's wedding dress. I love the metallic textures and the funky effortless designs. The name of Alexander McQueen will be around for a long time.

What I like about fashion:
I love fashion because it's expressing yourself without talking. What you put on can tell your mood, attitude, and show personality.

I noticed Antonia from her spunky personality and her chic pants! She rocked the trend of an elaborated pant and a tucked in button up top!  Her gold sandals and necklace made the outfit come together!  xoxox
 
Rather you are trying to figure out if you want to use BB Creme or the new CC Creme, you have to figure out what works BEST for you. For me, I absolutely love the Almay Smart Shades CC Creme!  it is full coverage and has an SPF of 35! it has a anti-aging serum and complexion correction! Most of the time I use this instead of foundation because it has the same effect-but it isn't as heavy.For $10 you can get this product at any drug store. Most of the CC Creams run around $12-$20, so this is a good deal! I would take a chance on this, I am sure you would be satisfied! xoxo

Why do you like fashion?
I like that fashion is different for everyone. They can express themselves however they want through their choice of style. 

What I liked about Wanda-
When i saw her long boho skit, I immediately had to talk to her. Her boho inspired look is effortless and flirty. I love how she has her own since of style and she owns it! 
 
Here are 5 tips to help style your body and figure out what and what not to wear!! xoxo

1. Styling is all about wearing clothes to balance out your frame and help create the enviable hourglass silhouette, because this is the shape most manufacturers use as their blueprint for their designs.

2. Hourglass ladies should look out for structured jackets - they will give your shoulders more definition, pull you in at the waist and skim your hips.

3. A waist-cinching belt will work wonders to help define the waist - ideal for apple, slender and boyish (athletic) shapes.

4.Wearing matching coloured tights and shoes will elongate your legs, making you look taller and slimmer.

5. Petite girls should look for ways to lengthen your limbs - try tucking a caridgan or shirt in to high-waisted trousers to elongate your frame.








 
I feel like when people pick out foundations, that they do it all wrong. Sometimes it is to dark or to light on their face. This becomes complicated, especially in summer and winter seasons. During that time our face gets darker, due to the UVB Rays, and lighter because we are not getting that much sun on our face. I usually have a foundation for winter and summer, but most people don't want to go that route. The best way to get away from having mixed matched skin tones is finding the color closest to your skin tone. Then lightly DAB the liquid on your face with a sponge, or I suggest a foundation brush. YOU DO NOT WANT TO CAKE IT ON. Even if the foundation is too light for your skin, by putting a little amount on your face it will blend in and give you the coverage that you want. REMEMBER: less is always more! 
 
I am not one for buying the same product over and over. I like trying and experimenting with different products to find out what is out there. After trying Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm, I was hooked from the moment that I tried it! here are a few reasons why. First, the lip balm comes on soft and add a moisturizing effect to your lips. It's like using chapstick and any other product that helps heals and repears your lips. It also has SPF 20! so whenever you are out in the sun, it protects your lips from getting damaged. The second thing that I love about this product is that it isn't thick on your lips. Much like lipstick, it adds color to your lips to complete your makeup, but it makes you feel like you are not wearing anything on your lips. If anyone ask me, I will always tell them to buy this product. It is cheap, only $2.43 at your local drug, and it has the same effect as lipstick!

As you may know, suicide prevention week was last week. Everyone that knows me knows that this is one cause that I hold dear to my heart. Yes, this isn't fashion or beauty related, but for motivation monday I wanted to touch on this subject.Every single person is BEAUTIFUL! We may be all different sizes, shapes and personalities but we are all the same inside. If you know someone that is hurting-tell them they are not alone!  Always seek help and never be AFRAID to ask for it! SPEAK OUT and make this epidemic decline! EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL xoxoXO
