5 Reasons To Love and Copy Lauren Makk’s Fashion Style

Link StickyNovember 22, 2015 Beth Ann Leave a comment

Although Lauren Makk focuses on interior design while co-hosting ABC tv’s FabLife, she also presents herself with a fierce, accessible fashion sense. Copying her look is quite easy. Here are some ways to do just that.

Lauren Has Awesome Yet Affordable Jewelry.

A simple strand of pearls not only finishes this textured outfit but also adds luster to Lauren’s face.

She Knows How to Look Comfy-Casual Without Being Sloppy.

The Oklahoma-native often wears a casual denim shirt with tailored, classic pieces like this leopard pencil skirt.

Her Casual Pieces Juxtapose with Her Sparkly Items.

Here the show-host contrasts a large buffalo print with cz-encrusted jewels for the perfect hi-low effect.

Lauren Rocks a Variety of Textures to Achieve a Rich Look.

Not only does her sequin top play off a buttery leather jacket but also her pearly-manicured long nails harmonize with dewy makeup and lustrous stilettos.

Her Perfect Beauty Looks are Foundations for Her Fashion.

From girly hairstyles to long nails and on-point makeup, Lauren doesn’t cut corners with her beauty routines which act as anchors for her fashion ensembles.

7 Ways to Add Army Green to Your Wardrobe Closet

Link StickyOctober 25, 2015 Beth Ann 4 Comments

If the thought of wearing army green leaves you with a case of the yawns, you’re not alone. It’s always been a bit too drab and depressing for me, however, I’ve started noticing the little tricks of stylish women who manage to make the shade of military fatigues downright glam, elegant and sexy.

Here she uses a flirty skater skirt in army green to not only show off her legs and a tan, but also adds sexy black strappy sandals…

Using green as a vest she counteracts the drabness with pops of white polka dots and scintillating CZs in her necklace which act as complexion-boosters for the face.

The fit and flair of this dress with ribbing to accentuate an hourglass figure, a circle neck to stay away from the face and frilly shoulders provide enough femininity to ward off the sloppiness that oftentimes accompanies this color.

Adrienne Bailon uses her skin tone and hair color to balance and accentuate this black and green look with matte gold jewelry.

Here Polyvore stylist @johna-cameron uses optic white in a tight knit to add zest to an otherwise toned-down ensemble. Very elegant, don’t you think?

This may sound strange but the key here is to pay attention to the color of the banner moniker on this magazine cover. Adding the hot pink shade of the ELLE letters to your army green ensemble–in the form of jewelry, scarves and handbags–would work wonders toward making Princess Madeleine’s classic trench really pop.

Love her or hate her, the late Joan Rivers was often on the best-dressed list. Here she uses black as an anchor and contrasting color, keeps the drab green away from her face and adds glow with matte gold accessories.

How to Imitate the 9 Best Fashion Looks at BeautyCon

Link StickyOctober 19, 2015 Beth Ann Leave a comment

Although its focus is beauty and makeup, this weekend’s BeautyCon in NYC was complete with fabulous fashion. Many outfits are easy to copy. Here are some of my favorites.

A simple striped knit dress cinched with a black belt or scarf and finished with black tights make this combination pulled together and eye-catching.

You probably already have a black jacket, strappy sandals and the white crop top in this look. A teal pencil skirt pops the ensemble so you might want to invest in one available here. You could substitute a mustard or red straight skirt if you already own either of them.

Layered pendant necklaces are the focus of this combo. They’re also handy to have on hand for the ’70’s vibe happening in fashion right now.

The theme of this outfit is white. White lace top, white strappy sandals, white bag and white-washed jeans. Again you probably have a majority of those items in your closet.

A white blazer over a black and white print dress and nude heels make the look on the right effortless. An all-black ensemble is always a good idea and the attendee on the left edges it out with a leather jacket and bold silver statement necklace.

A red tribal print mini skirt like this makes this outfit come alive. Again, you probably already own a short black leather jacket, black tights and black boots.

Army green is a must-have for this fall. Here the attendee looks stylish, comfy and coordinated in a long-sleeve mock-neck crop top and pencil skirt seemingly in a knit fabric.

An unexpected color-combo of navy and dark brown combine to make this modern preppy look. Off-white pants added to the ensemble.

5 Beauty Essentials Every Girl Should Own Right Now [PHOTOS]

Link StickySeptember 30, 2015 Beth Ann 6 Comments

When I gave myself permission to buy these beauty staples, I wondered why I had waited so long. Perhaps deep down I viewed them as luxuries or felt I wasn’t worth it. Whatever the reason, don’t be like me. You work hard and should reward yourself!

(A) Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Gel Salicylic Acid

I started wearing this nightly and my face feels like silk. Officially, it claims to reduce redness, build collagen, unclog and diminish enlarged pores and exfoliate. I can attest that it does all of these things well without irritation.

(B) Mally’s Perfect Prep Eye Gel

I can thank EmilyNoel83 on YouTube for recommending this way back when she was broadcasting the news. It de-puffs your eyes like nobody’s business! As soon as my alarm goes off in the a.m., I apply this gel to both upper and lower lids to give it time to dry, then wash it off in the shower. Marvelous and refreshing!

(C) Mason Pearson Hair Brush Handy Bristle B3 Dark Ruby

Several years ago I removed my hair extensions for good, stopped coloring my hair and started using no-heat styling tricks in an effort to have the most healthy hair of my life. To reward myself for sticking to this regimen, I finally bought a Mason Pearson brush, something I’d wanted since childhood. It’s fabulous! Eliminates static, enhances shine and creates natural fullness and body without teasing. Is it worth the steep price? Definitely!

(D) 100% Genuine Silk Pillowcase

The very first time I bought a ‘silk’ pillowcase, I was duped into selecting a polyester fabric instead of the genuine article. Don’t be misled. I found this one from lovasilk.com where they carry 100% mulberry silk. Using this prevents the dreaded sheet-wrinkled-face and sharply curtails hair static and split ends.

(E) Philips Sonicare Electric Toothbrush

My skepticism was quickly replaced by buyer satisfaction when I realized this toothbrush does exactly what it promises. Seriously reduces tartar and buildup plus keeps gums healthy.

Stand Out in a Crowd with These 5 Fool-Proof Fashion Tips

Link StickySeptember 20, 2015 Beth Ann Leave a comment

Prior to today’s Julien Macdonald Spring 2016 show at LFW, I had a bit of time to people-watch.

A few audience members caught my eye not because of who they are but because of how they put themselves together.

Which prompted this thought: we spend the majority of our time preparing or waiting for events to begin, events which are often short-lived or anti-climactic.

Why not flip the script and catch others’ attention while we’re in down-time?. We owe it to ourselves to star in our own life-shows, whether we’re in line at the grocery, meandering in the front yard or waiting for a fashion show to begin.

Here are 5 foolproof techniques to get noticed and be remembered long after you’ve left the crowd behind.

Wear Red.

Photo: Kate Middleton at Wimbledon, 2015.

Photo: Julie Bishop of Australia meets Kate in Canberra, AU, April, 2014.

Red accessories like hats, bags, scarves and shoes are fail-safe attention-grabbers.

Add Neon to Your Wardrobe.

Here you have a jacket from Holly Fulton’s Spring 2016 show.

Holly also featured neon bags in her SS2016 line.

Wear Something Unexpected.

White hair on a young face, such as this audience member, caught my eye in a crowd of otherwise traditional hair colors.

Large, Colorful Spectacles Draw Attention to Your Eyes.

Think Kelly Green.

I’ll share additional tips and tricks in future posts, so tune in!

My Favorite Planner Pens: Pretty Writing in Filofax, Erin Condren, Kikki.K

Link StickyAugust 27, 2015 Beth Ann Leave a comment

Being a pen addict is in my DNA. After church every week, Dad would stop off at the convenience store for ice cream and PaperMate’s Flair markers. Mom, my three siblings and I would wait in the car shivering in the Erie, Pennsylvania winters, anticipating the new colors he would choose. My favorites were hot pink, purple and green.

I still love Flairs yet somehow continue to raid the aisles of stores and online for the next pen that will make my writing experience that much more enjoyable. Here are some of my favorites, not because of their outward appearance but how they feel.

STAEDTLER TRIPLUS FINELINERS.

These have triangular barrels! So much fun and they improve my writing.
