Style Spotlight!

The well-dressed gentleman you see in the photo is my good friend Kevin! We attended a fashion show that one of our other good friends participated in at my university. I love the way he combined the colors in this outfit.

Let Them Have Polish!

Sometimes I like to mix it up a little with my manicure (and pedicures)! To re-create this is very simple. First I placed a piece of tape sideways at the bottom of my nail. I painted one half of the nail with the first color, then removed the tape and painted with the other color. I went on to paint the rest of my nails with the main color.

BEAUTY NOTE: To strengthen your nails and prevent weakness from polishes, apply a top coat to bare nails before applying the color of your choice.

I had a banquet to attend for an organization that I am a member of at my university. I added the blazer to this dress because it is very form-fitting and would not have been appropriate without something over it for that particular event.

Also, I found this clutch for $17 at Payless Shoe Source last summer! I have been wearing it to different kinds of events and with various outfits. With a clutch like this you aren't limited to either day or nighttime, or seasons, because even though it is printed, it is not anything extravagant such as stones or silk material(which should be kept to nighttime events).

STYLE NOTE: If you go with a smoky eye, or a colored eyeshadow a rule to live by is to go with a nude lip. Or, if you wear a bright dramatic lip color, either go with nothing on the eyes, or a simple shadow to avoid looking as if you desire to audition for the circus(-:

These cheetah-print studs are cute, yet simple way to add some interest to an outfit.

STYLE NOTE: Sometimes you should allow your accessories do the talking for you with an outfit. For example, if you are wearing a statement necklace or large earrings, then DO NOT add a necklace...this can be OVERKILL if you do. Let one piece be the main focus to avoid your outfit being to "busy". These earrings hadenough detail, so I let them receive all of the attention(-:
