What to Keep in Your Make-up Bag
A good friend lost her bag and all its contents over the weekend. Her make-up bag, which had ALL her make-up, was in the bag. Now she has no make-up and needs to build her stash again. Dessert Gifts cannot even console her.
It was an eye-opener for us. We should not keep all our make-up in the bag, since we don’t really use them all the time. A fashionista recommended we have the basic items in our make-up bag:
1) A good eyelash curler. Seriously, you’ve got to see the difference it makes. Insane. A portable one is great because they’re super tiny and can easily fit into any makeup bag.
2) A dark eyeliner. Black or brown or both. Non-negotiable.
3) Mascara. It can be thickening, lengthening, volumizing. Dramatic lashes just make you look more awake and “with it.” Plus, it keeps focus on your eyes and not on, say, a big pimple.
4) Lipstick. One light, one dark.
5) A subtle sparkly eye shadow. Beige works. So does champagne. Just look for something light that shimmers. You can put it in your lids for a soft, girlie effect, in your inner corners to open your eyes up or along your cheekbones to make them look higher. So versatile! An acceptable substitute: Highlighter.
How to Layer Your Spring Clothes
Your Spring-ready colorblock dress can easily do double duty — all you have to do is switch out your structured blazer for a laid-back chambray button-down, ditch the heels for go-anywhere flat sandals, and add a colorful scarf.
Everyone needs a classic cardigan — double points if it comes in a citrusy-cool hue. Channel a menswear-inspired look for the office by tucking a printed button-down into a pencil skirt, then cinching your open cardigan with a pretty floral belt. Make your neon cardi work for the weekend by throwing it over your swimsuit and a pair of striped shorts.
A floral-print pencil skirt brings some girlie sophistication to the workplace; pair it with a floaty silk blouse (untucked) and a bright fitted blazer. If you’re still feeling the chill, a silk-blend scarf acts as the perfect anchor. For evening, show your sexy, daring side by wearing your high-waisted skirt with a lace bandeau bra and long leather vest.
How to Wear Tangerine Tango
Tangerine Tango is considered to be Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2012, so we expect it to be featured in runways and home interior decorating trends a lot. The question is how do we incorporate the color into our present wardrobe without going over the top AND making it blend and stand out. Do not go buying all the orange you can get your hands on though as your credit card might just get maxed out and before you know it, you might be charged with Payment Fraud.
Here are some tips according to the Budget Fashionista:
Tone it done- Balance out the vibrant shade by placing it up top with a pairing of khaki, white, or Pantone neutrals, Starfish and Driftwood below.
All-over color- The easiest way to pull off all-over color in the shade would be a simple sheath or party frock. Mimicking the runway looks with multiple pieces in the same shade ends up looking too matchy-matchy and advertisement-like on the streets.
Basic additions- A great tote or envelope clutch in tangerine can be a surprising transformation to Spring style. Update classic wardrobe items with a bold bag for a dip into the Tangerine Tango pool without feeling too much like a popsicle.
Block it up- Just because the shade beat out the others, doesn’t mean it should be isolated from its friends. Create a color-blocked look by layering different all-over brights into one ensemble. For those less daring, use a different colored shoe as the pop in the mix.
Print it out- Whether you prefer sporty stripes or flirty florals, there’s plenty of tangerine prints that effortlessly incorporate the color pairings we’ve suggested, and we’ve got our hearts set on some paisley handkerchief prints that just scream resort wear.

Running Shoes
Most of my friends have taken up a sport this year and most of them have turned into running. While their husbands are now competing in triathlons and have invested in bike racks, they have slowly but surely trained for 5k marathons with the intention of joining a triathlon in the future. I have seen quite some nice running shoes lately and I’d like to share them with you!

The shoe is a great mix of functionality and style because it forms a stable platform when you need it most while always looking the part.

Skin Care.
I think that as a woman gets older, she becomes more conscious of how she looks. This is where consistent skin care, diet and fitness and an newfound love for make-up happens. Well, it’s what happened in my case!
When I hit my 30′s I started to be quite obsessive with skin care as I have noticed fine lines popping out. There is a reason why we were forced to wear sunscreen when we were just teenagers people! Listen to your mom!
Nothing beats a healthy lifestyle (Lots of water, sleep, good diet and exercise) to make one’s skin glow, literally. And you can have the nicest make-up but it can be hard to cover up a blotchy face. Dull skin can be spotted miles away even from a metal building!
So there. This might just be a nonsense post but ladies, you get the point
