Jewelry Display

Just an idea for a jewelry display. Get a small candle holder, candle, and glass plate. Place the candle holder in the center of the glass plate and put whatever jewelry you want onto the plate. I have a few of these around my room :) 

My Beauty Tips of the Day!

Longer Lasting Lipstick

McQueen Spring 2013

What do you think of the Alexander McQueen Spring 2013 collection? I find it extremely innovative, perfectly structured, fascinating, and odd all at the same time. The collection was inspired by bees all the way from the worker to the Queen. Each look was paired with a harness as the main accessory. It included tailored jackets, pencil skirts, mesh fabric, platform mesh boots, and a beekeeper style headpiece. I found myself most in love with the gowns at the end. The  drapery and flower details were amazing! It wasn't until I learned to sew that I could fully appreciate the complexity of a McQueen garment. While most couldn't see themselves sporting beehive inspired clothing, the collection is still worthy of recognition. I always like to describe a McQueen runway show as watching a dream unfold.

What's New? Runway 2013

What's hot for spring 2013? Definitely the unexpected. It's not about baby pinks and pastels this upcoming spring. In the next few months expect to see a lot of white, black, neutral tones, and vibrant color. As  I followed the runway trends, I was seeing leather, see through fabrics, red lipstick, bold brows, rhinestone eyes, lots of white, same bold color from head to toe, ruffles, boxy silhouettes, dramatic eyeliner, nude nails, tailored suits and South American inspired pieces.
