December 2016 Glam Looks

Hallo Fashioistas!

As Christmas is a few days away!!!!!...like 7 days yoikes!!! these looks came in handy for the holidays.

Metallic Puckers:
Shiny and bright lips with a nude colour eyeshadow, mascara and eye liner. With metallic lips you don't want your eyes competing. Keep it simple!
Great affordable metallics are at www.bhcosmetics.com, www.milanicosmetics.com

Matte Red Lips:
Bodda-bing! This the most appealing lip for the season. You can pair it with natural eyes or add some glitz to your lids...or just a sweet edgy black liner will do. Dark girls, try a matte red that has a dark berry hint.
Get your affordable matte red lipstick at my top choices: www.ulta.com, www.bhcomesmetics.com, www.nyxcosmetics.com, www.lagirlusa.com, www.wetandwildbeauty.com.

Tinsel Brow Highlighter:
Using glitter to highlight your brow is something super new to me but if you think that sounds too much, use a glitter eyeshadow pencil or tap glitter liner under your brow shape.
My fave Affordable gel glitter liners are at www.nyxcosmetics.com, www.lagirlusa.com, (Ruby Kiss at the beauty supply store) www.bejour.com.

Party Flats:
You love to dance at a party but don't want your feet twitching with pain the next day? How about blinged out flats that'll make you forget you needed heels in the 1st place.

If you decide to indulge to spruce up your holidays, then go for it! As always HAVE FUN and BE CREATIVE! THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!

P.S.- Last minute Christmas gifts can be found at www.ulta.com, www.amazon.com or stop in your local  walmart, or target. Tis the season to Give and Be Merry! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Oxblood Makeup for Fall 2016

The burgundy continues for Fall 2016 with makeup in wine and oxblood colours!

It depends how much money you want to spend but all brands right now are trending with this colour...so enjoy!!!!

COLOURPOP

NYX

WET AND WILD

I already had a wine colour from NYX cosmetics and I just got the sugar plum fairy from Wet and Wild cosmetics and  I love it.

Try your hand with this colour but I would suggest to not come across as dead...find a colour depending on your undertones. Dark skin will have look great with a colour that has more purple than red as purple is in dark complexions. Fair and light complexions can try a richer dark wine red that will go well with their pink or yellow undertones.

As always, have fun and be creative.  THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!

Stars & Leather- Fall 2016

Hallo Fashionistas!

Along with denim, animal print and burgundy that's out for the fall season, you can add these few looks that celebs are rocking nonchalantly...Stars in all sizes and colours and the infamous leather pants.

CELESTIAL SIGHTINGS:

Stars are in the form of prints in clothing and accessories in earrings, shoes and purses. If you can find them, add a few to your collection. You'll feel heavenly and like an actual "star" with this print. I found a few starry looks at www.makechic.com and www.amazon.com. 

LEATHER PANTS:

In the countries where it is chilly, leather comes in handy...keeps you warm. However to be respectful of those who are against animal being used for human clothing and consumption, faux leather will be the best bet. This is a very sensual apparel and goes well with anything and any colour; there's no limit to your fashion creativity with this.I got mine a year ago at www.charlotterusse.com but www.gojane.com, www.makemechic.com, www.lulus.com and www.amazon.com has them at affordable pricing.

Stay tuned for the next blog posting, keeping you informed with what's out for Fall. Meanwhile if you already have these pieces, pull them out and if not, find affordable places to purchase. As always Have Fun and Be Creative. THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!

Major Fall Colour Alert! - Fall 2016

I'm sure by now you've seen this colour all over...Burgundy. Usually Fall into Winter gives you a dark trend colour and honestly I love it this year.

I'm not a burgundy fan and own nothing burgundy until now. Burgundy really pairs well with ox-blood make up colours (upcoming blog post) and main colours like black, tan or white...even go as far as leopard.

I think this will grow on me and I already  invested in a sweet burgundy flouncy top...can't wait to wear it out this season. Have a try of it...doesn't hurt to go outside your colour comfort.

As always, have fun and be creative. THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!

Fun Fall Trends 2016

Welcome to September!

Every time I write a new blog and I look at the date, I can't believe where the month has gone muchless the year. It was just January and we were just celebrating the new year. Now we're 3 months away from 2017 and it seems all a blur.

Well, IT'S FALL FASHIONISTAS! Don't "fall" into the same mundane fashion; to get on top of the newest trends, here are some items to indulge in if you haven't already!

Bright Bags & Purses!
Fall usually has dark colours but spruce up your wardrobe with a bright bag or purse and I'm sure it'll make onlookers smile at your confidence and brightness.

Army Jackets
Army green is still a fun colour to wear by pairing it with whites, brights or darks but probably best if you don't make your whole outfit monochromatic or all army green.

Leap into Leopard
Animal prints are fun and sassy but this fall call for the inner wild leopard. Pull out from your closet or snatch a few signature pieces like purses or shoes.

Essie Fall 2016
A mixture of lights and darks yet very appealing for your mani and pedis!

If you didn't know, fashion repeats itself, so it's great when you already have trend pieces you can pull out for the season they're in. As usual, have fun and be creative! THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!
