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 !!

Hello Gorgeous,

“You dazzling Diva…Yes you! You just know how to steal the show don’t you?”

Tell me you don’t like to turn heads when you make an entrance at that party! If you don’t then skip this post 😉 I don’t want you to blend in when you were clearly born to stand out.

I know we all say we dress for ourselves, but come on..we know better don’t we? Let’s be honest, we gals dress for each other and have a great time doing so (I certainly do).

So, now that we have cleared that up let’s get down to what you can do to stand out in a crowd at that party/event.

Let’s turn some heads shall we?

  1. Keep your skin dewy and fresh, luminosity is the key. So, by all means mask those pesky acne scars with concealer but try and keep your skin as glowy as you possibly can and fake the I’ve been eating my veggies and been drinking copious amounts of coconut water.
  2. Go Red. One simple swipe of red lipstick and boom, you’re the bell of the ball… 🙂 Well not quite that easy, but you get where I’m going with this. Red = confidence + get noticed.  
  3. Go head to toe monochrome. Very few people are comfortable with this look. I, on the other hand love it. And please stop with the black on black. There ARE other colors in the color wheel, I’m almost certain 😉
  4. Showing a little skin? Dab a dollop of illuminator down your legs and shoulders. It’s very sexy.  
  5. Wide legged jeans…trust me… it works..every time. So the next time we see each other in those sexy hip hugging wide legged jeans..I’ll be sure to notice you 😉
  6. Keep those tresses shiny …I hope you have your hairdresser’s number handy. Get those ends trimmed religiously and work in some oil to give it a little shine cause isn’t that the objective here? To shine? Moving on….
  7. Get adventurous with your handbag. A little print here and a little print there. NO! it most definitely does not have to be Chanel or the likes of it gorgeous…I cannot stress this enough.  Sporting the latest handbag will not get you noticed. Your bag might, but not you 😉 While it’s great to throw that brand new high end designer bag over your shoulder, it is not a prerequisite. You hate me yet?.. I say it like it is..that’s why you keep coming back for more and I’m so glad you do 🙂
  8. Smile, it’s your best accessory and it doesn’t cost you a dime!

 

I can go on and on. You know I can. But let’s stop for now and enjoy the compliments the next time you GET NOTICED! …You’re welcome gorgeous..xoxo

Hello Gorgeous,

Are you one of the insanely stylish? Do you have it in ya? Well, do ya?

Jokes aside. These women have certain habits that they will not tell you about, and WHY SHOULD THEY?  But I will (cause I’m your closet stylist 😉 ). I will let you in on a few of these secret habits that help them be the uber stylish women that they are.  

  1. Plan Plan Plan  They plan their outfits days in advance(shoes and everything).They want to look stylish all the time. That means not having to rush. Some plan outfits for the entire week, others definitely the night before.
  2. They are not afraid of COLOR. These women know the importance of color and are confident enough to carry it off. Black is not their go-to! Shocker!!
  3. They dress for themselves not for others. They are not concerned with other people’s opinions of their sense of style. You have to be a bit of an égoïste (in a good way), if you know what I mean!
  4. They know that looking good is not about the price of something or the designer, but mixing and matching high end with affordable and fabulous brands. They are masters at mixing high-end labels with their local ones, and know how to spot a good deal.
  5. They are aware of what looks good on them and will not wear what is in the latest vogue in that exact ensemble just because ! They drive the trends in magazines and get Instagram’d.
  6. They experiment with different textures and find it utterly dull and boring playing it safe. No risk… No rewards!
  7. They don’t over accessorize and know that sometimes your outfit is the only accessory you need.
  8. They always take a last look at themselves before walking out the door, just to make sure 😉
  9. They are on a first name basis with their tailor. Who’s on your speed dial?
  10. They know that all they need to do each season is buy a few key pieces and since they are masters at putting it all together and can pretty much do it with their eyes closed..their fashion game is always on point.
  11. They know the names of all the affordable labels but will never tell. I won’t either…unless…unless the sun rises in the west or you become my bff . 😉
  12. They woke up like that! No gorgeous , they most certainly didn’t! It’s the HABITS they have cultivated that make the end result look effortless, yet still oh so stunning!

So we know you’re gorgeous… but are you UBER stylish? It’s never too late, adopt these habits. Make them a part of your life style and then…well then ..You’re pretty much THERE 🙂
