A perfect pant suit and a woman together is the modern-day dynamic duo. I
personally love classic pieces with basic masculine accents, for example a
blouse with a chunky watch or a basic t-shirt with and exaggerated trouser. I
love women like Katharine Hepburn and Mary Tyler Moore who have 
reputations of representing a strong woman in suit.

The Summer/Winter Dress.


A relatively inexpensive way to transition a summer wardrobe into the fall season is by adding tights. They pair well with those go to dresses and denim shorts. The best thing about this trend is that there are so many options to match your personality to chose from.

Tip: Most department stores have quality tights for low prices during their weekend/holiday sales. I have a pair of Calvin Klein stocking I bought for $6.00 at Macys

The Modern Brow.


thick eyebrows are socially acceptable again and I’m channeling my inner Wilhelmina Model - my skin, anxiety, and wallets are grateful too.

Winter Essentials.



It's time to winter-proof your beauty products! Fortunately, I found and fell in love with these handful of items that actually work and are under 20$!
  • Nivea, 'A kiss of Moisture' $1.99; I particular tend to stray away from glosses, especially during the winter. While the wind smacks you in the face there is nothing worse than digging your hand out from layers of clothing just to peel strands away from your lips.
Tip: Apply chapstick 3 minutes before applying your lipstick, tinted lip color, etc. Your lips will be smooth and moisturizer, ready for color to be applied without smudging, cracking, drying out etc.
  • Aussie, 'Deeeep 3 minutes Miracle Moisture Treatment $2.99
  • Burts Bees cuticle cream $3.00
Tip: Apply cuticle cream before a hand moisturizer.
  • Tarte 'Lifted Natural Eye Primer' $4.99
  • Milani mineral blush $4.00
  • Sonia Kushuk radiant tinted moisturizer $10.00
  • Neutrogena body oil $6.50

Hair Combs- for the broke & busy.

I do not use hair accessories. I am a no fuss person when it comes to my hair. Perhaps it could be because I have no time or because I am a 22 yr old that goes through hot flashes.
Here is a great DIY hair comb I found on my new favorite site psimadethis.com.
I can continue to skip my hair prep time and add a bit of quirkiness to my outfit. Best part - I can stick it in my hair and pull it out avoiding any damage!
"To create, Pick up hair combs from you local drug or beauty store. I’m a huge Goody fan, personally! Rip pieces of cotton material into 1” strips. Leave a little bit of a frayed edge will give you more texture. If you want a cleaner look, cut your fabric strips with scissors. P.S.- If you cant find fabric, cut up an old tee that may be lying around. Double knot two 12” strips on one end of a tooth. Weave the fabric in and out of the teeth, and repeat with the second piece. Double knot both pieces together on the last tooth, and snip the ends.  You’re ready to rock the up do and adorn your hair with the ultimate DIY accessory. Get creative with your hair style using bobby pins, and other styling tools for various looks. P.S.- if you love to rock the high-bun, add a comb to the base of your top knot to top off!"
