victory rolls.


for a really long time, i've wanted to give victory rolls a try.  victory rolls are a classic 1940's hairstyle.  they match perfectly with polka dots, cuffed denim and bright red lipstick and nails. i've tried a few times, and honestly, they're hard!  but i stuck with it and tonight they came out pretty great.  zach and i are headed out for some cocktails so tonight's a perfect night to debut 'em.

mini-makeup review



i never have liked lipstick.  i always felt like it was older lady-ish.  but now, you can't keep me away from it. maybe cuz i am older lady-ish??!  it completes the look, makes you feel put together, and a lil bit sexy.  yeah? 

so, i was sucked in by advertising and bought the new cover girl blast flipstick.  here are the array of colors:

i picked "intense." it's a deep purple/burgundy on one end and a frosty cream colored shade on the other.  i LOVE the dark side, but the cream colored end is just meh.  it does look nice layered over the dark color, though.  definitely recommend.

2012 Trends: Runway vs. Real life.

Exposed Midsection

Runway:




Real life:

Keep it subtle for evening...


And remember, sometimes less is more.





Under the Sea

Runway:



Real life:

Make it classy by keeping it isolated to accessories...


Or even focus on ocean inspired colors.





Digital Print

Runway:



Real life:

Digital prints are very unforgiving to the figure, so have statement pieces, like awesome tights under a dress...


Or make it more dainty and flattering with a solid cover up.




Peplum Skirts

Runway:





Real life:

Try a draped peplum!


Or keep it dark and flattering.
