Holiday Talk

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This is a great time to think of all the things you are thankful for.There are so many sales going on and the Infamous Black Friday is almost here. Many stores will have a Black Friday Preview and open Thanksgiving Night. Do you you prefer going out to the stores to hunt for Black Friday deals or do you prefer shopping in the comfort of your own home?

Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner? The year is coming to an end. It's time to start making your New Year's resolutions.

If you love Hello Kitty, you are in for a treat. Forever 21 is now selling a Hello Kitty line. You can check out the line here: Forever21

Many cosmetic companies have released a holiday line. Such companies as MAC and Lancome have a holiday collection available. The colors in both collections are nice.
I personally always reach for deep colored lipstick and/or nail polish for the holidays. Gold nail polish is pretty festive as well.

Put a little "Spring" in your step

Flowers are blooming, the temperature is rising and birds are chirping. Spring is right around the corner. It's time to bring out the open-toe shoes and sandals, step outside and enjoy the sunshine. My favorites from the

selection below are the Jimmy Choo shoes and the Brian Atwood sandals with the fringe detail. The Brian Atwood sandals are a lovely shade of purple and would look great with a black dress.

Head Over Heels in Love

It's that time of year again. You know, that holiday when you spend some quality time with your partner and show them how much you care. Well, I created four looks to give you ideas of what to wear while you spend time with your loved one. Whether it is a casual event, a formal event or a semi-formal event, you can make sure you look your best. For the first look, I paired a bold top with a pair of pants. That same top can go with a fitted skirt. A bold top will turn a plain outfit into an adorable outfit. A bold top is also versatile, and will look great with a pair of pants or a skirt for a romantic date. A cocktail dress and a nice pair of pumps makeup the second look.A cocktail dress is a great choice for a Valentine's Day event. You can pick a simple cocktail dress and make your look more chic by adding accessories or pick a cocktail dress that stands out more. Pick a dress silhouette that you like if you decide to wear a dress. I know many people do not like the form-fitting cocktail dress.A formal dress is the third look. This dress will be great to wear to the opera or any other snazzy event your lover has planned. And remember, accessories can add life to any dull look.

Sweet, Sweet September

In due time the leaves will begin to change color, the temperature will drop, and the scenery will mostly consist of orange and red hues.I absolutely enjoy autumn. I like to observe the changes in the scenery and I enjoy all the pumpkin flavored foods that become available during autumn.My utmost favorite thing about this season is the slight drop in the temperature. I look forward to cool autumn days filled with the aroma of pumpkin and spice. I also look forward to incorporating fall trends into my wardrobe. I plan on adding black nail polish, lace-up ankle boots, leopard prints and over-the-knee boots to my wardrobe.What are your favorite fall trends?

Glamorous Green Life - Earth Month

I meant to do this earlier in the month, but better late than never.This month is Earth Month, so I decided to do a post about organic beauty products, clothes and shoes.There are so many benefits associated with using organic products. Not only are we benefiting ourselves and our overall well being, but we help preserve the environment. Have any of you gone completely green? Or, have you partially committed to a green lifestyle? Maybe you drive a hybrid vehicle or recycle. As I see it, every small effort is good. I included some snazzy pieces of organic clothing below.They are made from organic fabrics.I am really fond of the pants and dresses.

Here are a few brands and companies that carry/make an array of organic products: Burt's Bees, Ulta, Target, DrugStore.com, physiciansformula, Yestocarrots, Skinstore, Blissworld, Sephora and Juiceorganics. You can pretty much find an organic version of any beauty product now a days, which includes, but is not limited to: hand soap, shampo, conditioner, makeup, lotion, face wash and moisturizer, body wash, and sanitizer. I am a big fan of Burt's Bees products.I have used their lip gloss, hand lotion and several other products that came in a gift set I received. I highly recommend their products. All their products are made from natural ingredients.The lip gloss is a great moisturizer.I typically use it twice a day.I must say, my lips remain chap free and soft.They also carry a tinted lip gloss.So, if you haven't tried any organic beauty products, I suggest you do.You might be pleasantly surprised by the results.

Down the Rabbit Hole

As you glance at your planner, you realize another holiday is approaching. This means you will have to attend another family gathering and devote a lot of time to catching up with relatives over dinner. Before you show up at your relative's home to help yourself to a slice of apple pie, here are a few ideas to help you look swanky while partaking in Easter Festivities. Whether you end up attending a Easter egg hunt, a casual dinner or brunch, you are sure to look fantastic sporting these looks.

Casual Easter Activity

If you plan on being outdoors and on your feet a lot, flats are a great choice. If you get a pair of flats with detailing, like bows, you add some spice to your ensemble.

This option is great for people that will be outdoors, but plan on sitting down a majority of the time. The dress is made of a great fabric that is light and soft.
