I am so excited that my new favorite movie The Great Gatsby is now available on Blu-Ray. I saw this in the movie theatre and I was so blown away by the story, the fashion, and of course LEONARDO! He was so awesome in this movie not to mention extremely handsome. I read the book back in grade school but never quite understood the characters or the story but this movie brought the book back to life for me. This book was made in the 1920's also known as the Roaring Twenties. This era is when the "Flapper" woman was born. This type of woman was known to be "loose" she smoked, she drank, she danced and she cut her hair. I mentioned I am in fashion school so every now and then I have to give a little fashion history ;) . Check out the movie if you love fashion ( the fashion in this movie is insanely fabulous) and a good love story...plus Leonardo.

Mixed prints have been seen on the fashion runways everywhere. This trend makes it fun and easy to mix fabrics, shapes, and colors. It's playful, daring, and bold. I honestly love the fact that you can mix and match different clothing items to transition into different seasons. Here's a challenge for all my readers try creating your own mixed print look. It can be as simple as wearing a bold solid colored shoe with a mixed print hadbag. Send me a picture of your mixed print look and I will post it to the blog (if you would like your picture posted of course) Have fun and don't worry about what people might say...Be You, Be Bold.

Nail Stickers

 

As I mentioned before I am in Fashion School and at times I must be able to improvise when working with models. I had a model come to our photo shoot with nails that were a hot mess. We drove around for two hours trying to find nail polish remover. It was awful but yet a learning experience. So while I was in the .99 cent store I saw these and decided hey these might be a quick  photo shoot nail fix. I had one of my students from work be my nail model. First I applied a clear coat of polish before placing the stickers onto her nails. Second I measured the sticker to get the exact sizing for her nail, then I cut the sticker. Lastly I used the nail file that came inside of the pack to trim and file the stickers onto her nails! Not bad. These stickers come in a variety of fun colors and they were really easy to apply. Also they come in a set of 10 so you have a set for your toes also. Try these when going out and you don't have time to get a professional manicure. Enjoy.

To all the wonderful parents try to enjoy every sports practice, homework session, school shopping, science project, haircut, bathtime, back to school night, summer vacation... Because we only have our babies for a short time.

Chartreuse Suede Booties

Chartreuse Shoulder Bag



Steve Madden Chartreuse Cross Body Bag

I have really fallen in love with this color "chartruse" as you can see. It has been really popular this spring and summer. Either you love it or hate it!

The top photo is my classmate. She paired her suede booties with acid washed black jeggings.

Middle photo is me and my favorite shoulder bag of the season. I wear this bag with everything for an extra pop! I get tons of compliments plus two of my family members have already claimed it. lol. I bought this purse from a boutique in San Francisco the name on the bag said Lindisima.

The bottom photo was taken at Big Lots Merchandise Store. One the associates was walking out of the store and it was super cute so I asked could I take a photo of it. I asked her where she got it from. She said a friend of her's had gotten it for her as a birthday gift from Marshall's Department store. She told me her friend was trying to buy her a cheap gift because she didnt have alot of money. I told her girl your friend is awesome for having good taste and knowing how to find something at a great price!
