Fashion Friday #4

So, up to today I've been posting some of my favorite seasonal styles.  Today, I will share with you some of my favorite celebrity styles.  To me, celebrities are not people I want to emulate, but because some people rely heavily on WHAT celebrities are wearing and WHAT they are using...then I'll just shine some little light on classy celebrities that can inspire your fashion wardrobe in a very positive way.  After all, celebrities do have professionals picking out their wardrobes and ask for specifics sometimes too.

Remember that ultimately, you are the final touch to whatever you wear.  Your confidence will make the final bright statement ;-)  Below, I've linked each image to a biography on the pertaining celebrity so you can read on what they're all about and ultimately what influences them to be unique.

I just love this look! Great for everyday wear.

So adorable...keeps your man attracted while not showing the goods ;-)

So classy and updated ever since she became a mom role model.

Always so elegant and yet understated.

Ahhh, what a relief to see comfy clothing in style!

I just love how she admits that she hates to work out, yet that doesn't cramp her style :-D

Always looks so clean and simple.  Love the heels!

Fashion Friday #3

Yay, my third fashion friday list!  I hope you like it, and like always, if you can buy it, I'll put in a link on the image.  You'll notice I'm really liking the idea of dresses this season, so bear with me :-)

Red is hot LADIES and when you have it to shy away from the sun, believe me, your look will intensify ;-)

Isn't this adorable!?!?

The eyelets are a nice detail.

Pair this black tights and slip on those red hot shades...go on girl, find an excuse to wear those high heals or high boots!

So comfy and ethereal while still looking trendy.

Who wouldn't find an excuse to cook more often just to put this on and hold those kitchen utensils??

Perfect for a lazy day indoors :-)

Purple is such a flattering color on everyone!

Get in some southern spirit with a chic and boho twist.

This is chic and simple.  Emphasizes makeup and hair!

Bring it down to something conservative, yet intriguing for date night ;-)

Fashion #2

So, this is this week's roundup of some fashion finds I absolutely L♥ve!!!!  Hope this inspires you to be beautiful and keep being true to yourself.  Remember that clothing is just an addition to who you really are and doesn't define your character...so be strong, WOMAN!

I just love corals and oranges...so complimentary on all skin tones.

I really like the idea of using short dresses as dressy tunics while preggers!

LOve LoVe LovE the shirt....maybe not the makeup, definitely not for me :-)

Such a cute laptop bag! I would flaunt this at every opportunity! Bright!

Lots of yellow stones becoming big this year, and it kinda works for me too ;-)

...would look great with a cute and loose updo.

Nice color to wear for a beach day!!

Can't wait to start selecting t-shirts in my regular size again after July! FUN!

I know, not exactly for me, but hey, little tots have a right to be bright too!

Gray is so ignored, but truth is that it makes you look sophisticated!

These are so flattering on the younger folk because it accentuates curves!

Belts REALLY add to clothing so why no go all feminine!?! PURTY!

Fashion Friday #1

So, I think I wan to start getting into the habit of creating a small composition of things I see and love around me and share with you all to see on Fridays.  Now, I'm not big into BIG on trends, but I do like timeless pieces and do like to keep my look updated too while comfy.  Here's a few things I've seen lately that light me up and get me all puppy-eyed to try out once my baby bump expires :-)

Remember that your style is mostly made up of confidence so no matter what you decide to wear, own it!  If you;re looking into forward fashion from some modest people who are always on the lookout in urban life, then check out:

Best clothing colors for YOUR skin color

We've all heard that black is slimming and that certain colors can be too bright or too dark for us.  The difference in knowing this and knowing YOURSELF....which really matters.

So many of us havewalked by a beautiful top in a store, maybe your friend might try it on looking stunning and you look...eww, washed out! Here are a few tips in getting it right, just for you.

Remember that you can follow trends, if you like to do that, and color/seasonal trends as well.  Keep in mind that 2 factors weight in always into what you will exude: Hair color and skin color.  The eyes and other features are played up by your make-up.

1.  Determine your tone. There are 2 types of skin tone (not skin color, which is different) and they are: cool-toned or warm-toned.  Take off all makeup and look in the mirror with natural light. Look for warm(golden,olive) undertones or cooler(pinks,reds,blues) undertones in your skin. If you can't decide which one you are, look at the underside of your arm. If the veins look green, you're warm-toned.  If the veins look bluish, you're cool-toned. Your haircolor can either play up or play down your skin tone.

Can YOU tell which side is warm and which is cool?

• Darker/black skin with cool tones is very dark and looks almost soft grayish. Darker/black skin with warm tones looks dark brown even yellowis with golden undertones.

2.  Now that you know what your natural look leans more to, it's time for the colors to come in and help. These colors enhance your natural skin tone, don't be afraid to try it, no matter your skin color...it't about tone.

and more in these tones!

• If you are cool-toned: bold, vivid, primary colors(red,yellow,blue) or icy, cool pastels. 
Also black, true white, blue reds, royal blues, fuchsia, lemon yellow, hot pink and blue greens.
• If you are warm-toned: black, true gray and navy make great base colors for black, brown or olive skin with warm, yellow and golden undertones. Also aqua, turquoise, evergreen, tangerine and orange-based reds.

and more in these tones!

Ask an honest friend for an undistorted opinion if you're torn in choosing something right for you. Once you are sure of what compliments YOU and YOUR features, go through your wardrobe and clean up.  It's THAT easy.  Don't deliberately stay with something because it's been there forever...there's a reason you were made the way you were and you gotta embrace it!
