The Commandments

giphy

Hello Gorgeous,

Let me start off by saying that I’m not trying to play God here, but since God certainly doesn’t have the time to dispense Fashion and Beauty advice, I’m at your service to provide you with  my version of the commandments. Yes! smarty pants, I am aware that there are supposed to be only 10 …but I’m onto something here so bear with me 😉

  1. Thou shalt slip on a pair of pants/jeans under thy dresses because we like to shake things up a bit.
  2. Thou shalt learn the art of layering (clothing and skin products) even if thou lives in tropical humid climate (It can be done!).
  3. Thou shalt wear perfect fitting undergarments to get her clothes to fit well and to prevent  unsightly bulges (even if you are the only one looking at them).
  4. Thou shalt most definitely wear white after Labor Day (even head to toe). We fashionistas have no rules… we MAKE the rules.  
  5. Thou shalt NOT covet thy BFF’S handbag!  Just cause! You gotta love it for the right reasons and not just because she has it… 😉
  6. Thou shalt double cleanse after using a makeup remover before going to bed… always. Squeaky clean gorgeous. Squeaky clean.
  7. Thou shalt embrace retinol because we would all love to slow down the aging process a tad bit.
  8. Thou shalt give as much love to her neck as thou does to her face. Any excess product leftover from your face? Massage it all over your neck and décolleté don’t waste.
  9. Thou shalt not attempt at using her foundation or any makeup with her fingers as bacteria  spreads, use a beauty blender instead(and clean that little tear drop like sponge regularly). Pretty please.
  10. Thou shalt always use a setting spray after makeup before she heads out the door to prevent her makeup from moving or melting off her face.
  11. Thou shalt get herself a signature scent, its time. Mine is… LOL… NO WAY GORGEOUS (this one goes to my grave amongst many other things).
  12. Thou shall not give into every “Trend”… because..wait for it.. ..ANNA WINTOUR hates the word !!! So THAT’S THAT.
  13. Thou shalt develop her own style over time, because why would you want to dress like someone else anyway? 
  14. Thou shall not obsess over social media images (of women) that have been through at least ten editing apps(yup!). It OK to aspire to look like them as long as you know that they don’t look like their images either! Real women are….look in the mirror Gorgeous !!

A New York State Of Mind

giphy

Hello Gorgeous,

The BIG APPLE! A true NYC gal has a very distinct signature style. For anyone that has been here and has left with a style hangover…this one’s for you gorgeous! So what does she…the NYC gal, do to look so darn stylish all the darn time? What is it about her that makes her stand out in a crowd? She totally does and you know it 😉

You might not have a (212) phone number, but you can still look it gorgeous!  Here’s how:

NYC is a very walkable city, most times you will get to your destination faster on foot … not to mention that you’ll also fill your quota of 10,000 steps on your FitBit! The NYC girl has things to do and places to be, so her shoes not only have to look great but must be super comfy. Want to know what the cool sneakers are? Ask an your NYC gal pal! She knows, cause she probably has them all or has researched them to death.  

Beauty works from the inside out. Every NYC girls motto.

So, what will you find her sipping in the morning? A large green juice. What will she be wearing? The most stylish athleisure (from Lululemon to GAP). What bag will she be sporting? A roomy trendy ‘it’ tote that she will take to work and straight to drinks/dinner. Her hair will look immaculate of course, as she is the blowout queen. Her nails will be perfectly manicured. Try to find a real NYC gal with chipped nail polish, I dare you (fine, maybe on an off day)!  Her skin will look fabulous, but like she has barely any makeup on (don’t be fooled, she does). She has just mastered the art of the no make-up make-up (I woke up like this) look. She is a  pro… take my word for it.

She has her skincare routine down to a science and her dermatologist’s number on speed dial.

What staples does she have in her closet? Let’s take a peek.

  1. Her most beloved leather jacket
  2. A drawer full of super soft tees
  3. A faux-fur vest
  4. A pair of black (yes that specific) leather leggings
  5. Sunglasses in every fathomable shape
  6. Jeans in every wash and style
  7. Statement outerwear

What you will never see a real NYC gal wearing:

  1. A bandage dress
  2. A fanny pack
  3. A fleece jacket
  4. Stylish but uncomfortable shoes 

She oozes confidence and speaks her mind. See..its that easy. 😉 She is always and forever in a New York state of mind!  

Are you rolling your eyes yet? I love you too. Xoxo
