These ladies looked stunning at the Elle Women in Hollywood event. I think my favorite look is Naya Rivera wearing a plunging sleek jumpsuit from Pamella Roland's Spring '13 collection. See you can wear white after labor day! People can get hung up on these fashion rules. It is time to break all the rules this Fall and rock White. 

Tips On Wearing Whites this Fall:

• Layer it up
• Accessorize
• Opt for a Bold Lipstick
• Add a splash of color
• Own your style!

Motivational Monday: Move your feet

"Why ask God to guide your footsteps, if you're going to be afraid to move your feet..."

-Unknown

Happy Monday!! Start your week off right by keeping faith and believing.

Clutch Moves

Getting dressed to go out you have to find the perfect outfit, accessories, and shoes. *sigh* Oh the maintenance. The one thing I lack in my wardrobe is a trendy statement clutch. So I did a little web browsing for a new clutch. I like them all I cannot pick just one! Check out the trendy clutch moves below.

Motivational Monday: Style

Create your own style.. Let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.

-Anna Wintour

I love when friends or family tell me about their trip to the mall and they saw something that was "so me".  I always thought to myself what is "so me".  I have realized we each have an individual stylized identity. The best feeling is wearing an outfit and feeling comfortable in your own skin and not debating whether your doing the most or following fads. So create your style today, be unique, and Happy Monday :)

I posted this quote on Instagram yesterday and it really hit home with a couple of my followers. Trouble doesn't last always. I know we are all human so it is easier said than done. I realized one problem I face when things don't go my I shut down, I lose focus, and become impatient. I'm working daily to just 'Let go and Let God'. I remember a few Sundays ago Pastor Clark  spoke on the topic God's answer to indecision. In the sermon what stuck out to me was his point that we must trust God when we don't understand.

This brush holder is perfect for a busy traveling girl. This brush holder is great for a freelance make up artist for your kit.

Try a Glass jar from the Dollar Tree and add clear beads from Michael's to store makeup.

Instead of throwing your old Perfume box out save it and cut the top off. Use your perfume box as a cute holder for your vanity.
