Manolo Blahnik Shoes Collection For Autumn/Winter 2014
I will be the first to admit that I am a recovering addict when it comes to wearing couture designed with bows. I love them, rock them and always still want more. However, that is not the only reason this collection made me want to thank the shoe gods. I am also a fan of period piece films, not just for the romantic language usually exchanged between characters, but also for the exquisite and intricate fashions.
Manolo Blahnik’s shoe collection for this season seemed to have been created with ladies of the court in mind. My immediate thought was Marie Antionette would have owned every last pair and quite frankly, I wouldn’t blame her. Each shoe is a work of art, truly a masterpiece. The shoes are embellished with ruffles, baroque prints, satin, pendants, buttons as well as jewelry. The bold use of color also gives these ingenious stilettos a stronger eccentric and uniqueness.

Prevent The Eyeshadow Melt
Beauty Quickie: Does your eyeshadow seem to just melt right off your pretty little face?

This little extra step will go a long way helping your eyeshadow stick to your lids.
What Is a Safe Hair Length For Extensions?
Hair Quickie: Having hair that’s flowing and down-to-there is a very glamorous look, but you have to keep in mind what it could be doing to your scalp. For most women extensions that are between 26″-30″ (inches) can be worn safely. Tresses that are longer, thanks to the laws of gravity can begin to pull on your own strands and put unnecessary weight on your scalp. Such continuous damage after awhile may not be able to be reversed. Extensions when properly installed and maintained can result in a healthier head of hair. Be sure to watch the length in order to enjoy these benefits.
