Beauty Quickie: Sorry to burst any beauty bubbles but those labels on those products you love may not do as advertised. It is a sad reality, but there are some beauty labels that display false information. Protect yourself by relying on the old adage, “If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.” Lookout for products that promise all-day protection or results instantaneously.

A fashion classic that never seems to go out of style is white couture. It’s clean, modern and when done correctly can be quite enchanting. White is just not for the Big Day aka weddings and do not believe in the myth that it can be worn only during a certain part of the year. White is a more refined tint but its subtlety can be enhanced through elaborate and intricate design. Feathers, prints, shimmer and sheer cut-outs all can add a more multifaceted angle to this shade without cheapening the overall effect. So then, if you are looking to change things up a bit with your wardrobe consider adding a few pieces in the shade of white.

Here is a prime example of chic done easy to the breezy. For a modern spring look pair a tailored jacket with capri pants and strappy heels. Comfort and sophistication is not hard to achieve making this look essential for the lady constantly on the move. Scared that you might look too stuffy? Worry not, that is where your hair comes into play. Keep the look more fresh and youthful by wearing a messy up-do. Remember everything does not have to be perfect in order for an ensemble to be simply perfection.
Forget the florals what’s really making fashion tongues wag is skin. Skin is always in but seems to be escalating to new heights. It is not enough to have a plunging neckline or high split skirt. Now it is all about sheer detailing to draw eyes in towards the physique. If we looked like model Cindy Bruna (pictured) we’d probably rock it too.

She’s been deemed the new face of beauty and it is not hard to see why! Gorgeous actress Lupita Nyong’o stars in Lancome’s 2015 spring/summer ad campaign which was styled by Julia Von Boehm.

Be a dancing queen or solid gold Soul Train dancer this summer because the 70’s are back baby! If you have laid fashion eyes on the ad campaign for the S/S 2015 Emilio Pucci collection you no doubt observed the ad’s 70’s vibe. Not quite sure how to make the retro look work for you? Think boho-chic and a very free-spirited relaxed styling of your ensembles. Moreover, a quick look at the Emilio Pucci runway show should help get you started.
Hair Notes: The slight waves worn by models is giving us life baby! The easy, breezing and bouncy hairdo is the perfect hairstyle for this summer whether day or night.
Todays Healthy Habit is the 2/30 Rule: 2 hours of TV, 30 minutes of exercise. Why not start here with this great workout by KeairaLaShae Hip Hop Tabata Dance Workout it’s a killer.
In an instagram world where brows must be the epitome of perfection, Prada chose to go a little different route. Prada’s beauty look for spring/summer 2015 incorporated the disheveled brow. This unkempt look had emphasis more on just the outline of the brow instead of the full on cha-bang. The disheveled brow is like the beauty nod to the messy, bed-head look proving that you don’t always have to be absolutely perfect to be considered beautiful.
