This hat has become one of my staple pieces that I am in love with!! I have always been big on hats as previously stated and always have a staple summer hat and a Winter one. It was a chilly day when MK and I were doing a little car shopping (with no intent to buy of course) and this classic black look kept me warm while paroozing car lots and such. The hat just added that needed pop of color. I'm a really big fan of adding a small matching touch and one more staple of mine is my Wine colored lipstick. Perfect for Fall and Winter. And of course we got a car. Its the same as just going to "look" at a puppy. You always get the puppy.
Signature Scents
As Christine Dior so eloquently put it " A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting". It's true! In my opinion, I feel like one should have a few different scents to choose from. Spritzing my perfume is the last thing I do in the morning before exiting my dressing room. Typically I decide on my scent by what I am wearing. For everyday, I use "Live Colorfully" by Kate Spade. The top notes are mandarin, pink water lily and star anise. When I'm a little more dressed up I usually go for Coco Mademoiselle or Miss Dior. They are similar and both smell so elegant. Top notes of the Chanel are Sicilian oranges, Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian grapefruit. The Dior has a fresh, fruity, citrus prelude into blossoming floral notes.
My favorite? Chanel. Forever. What is your signature scent(s)?
National Lipstick Day!
I received a text this morning from my friend telling me it was National Lipstick Day!! What better a day to talk about how to find your perfect shade than today?
It's all about warm and cool. I've talked about this before but it is a very important part to look at when choosing your perfect shade, or anything for that matter. Clothes, hair color, etc. The color wheel and warm and cool tones are basically all you need to know in order to look fab.
How do you find out if you are warm or cool? Find a garment that is silver and one that is more gold. You'll know instantly which looks better. So when you choose your color, for instance my favorite, red. Choose a cooler tone if the silver looked better or if the warmer color looked better choose a red with a more orange base. If you aren't sure just grab a few different shades and experiment. You'll find out which you prefer rather quickly and will be ready to pucker up!
