Choosing the right colors to create a sassy smokey eye look can be difficult. Thank goodness for Avon’s Trucolor Eyeshadow Quads which simply life. There are many sets available that make it easy to re-create any look you desire. In this post I’m presenting the “Smokey and Fog” quad. This quad offers the perfect eyeshadow colors to create a chic luxurious look for any special fancy event. If you take a look at the back of the eyeshadow quad there is a diagram which explains where to apply each eyeshadow color but feel free to mix and match the order according to your desire. I love the smooth texture that makes blending an easy task in addition to the richly pigmented shades. When you’ve completed your eyeshadow apply eye-liner and mascara to maximize the dramatic look . Alluring and seductive eyes will be part of the finished result created effortlessly with the “Smokey and Fog” quad.

To complete the fancy look for my outfit I wore a Hecktik by Natalia dress and black suede sandals.

Lazy Look

January 19, 2016

For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted my very own pair of UGG Australia boots. So, for Christmas my boyfriend gifted me the “mini Bailey Button” UGGS in the color chestnut. I personally own many boots but UGGS are not just like any other boots. Their comfort is beyond amazing. Everyone who knows me well can testify that my sense of style always embraces comfort. I honestly prefer flats over heels. The fun part of wearing these UGGS is styling and integrating them into my looks.

As you can see this outfit post is all about laziness and comfort. In all honesty, I’d rather sit around in my house watching Netflix than go out in something uncomfortable. The good news is that in today’s age comfy dressing has become a fashion statement-a lazy girls dream come true. So, yes ladies you can wear a casual t-shirt with shorts and still look totally amazing.

For this lazy-casual UGG outfit I wore a white t-shirt, denim shorts and incorporated a boho-chic necklace and a crossbody bag to the look. No matter how casual this outfit may appear to be my AVON Perfectly Matte lipstick in the color “Red Supreme” adds a touch of sophistication to the entire look. Plus, I can’t forget to mention how delicious this lipstick smells. It’s amazing how something so simple like a bold lip color can change the entire vibe of a look.

What special touch do you give a casual look to appear more chic?

Boyfriend Jeans

January 8, 2016

I don’t know if it’s due to the start of a new year or all the vacation time but I’ve been in such a chill mood. Even my relaxed outfits testify to that fact.

Boyfriend jeans aren’t usually my top choice in jeans to wear. Many celebrities perfectly pull the trend off but for short girls like me (I’m 5’1) it’s more complicated. With the odds in my favor, I recently found the most stylish boyfriend jeans and surprisingly enough they perfectly fit my petite body frame. These jeans paired flawlessly with a colorful flowy–sleeves blouse. Plus, who would of ever thought that a pair of chunky wedge sandals and a statement necklace (a gift from Kokoloom) would compliment this casual look adding bohemian flare and chicness. This casual chic look is perfect for running errands or hanging out with the girls.

Hectik Chic

January 6, 2016

If you were to ask me which item of clothing I couldn’t live without my immediate answer would be JEANS. Jeans are comfortable, versatile, easy to style and for a bonus they are perfect for hiding hairy legs (For those lazy “I don’t want to shave days”). A classic pair of jeans can sometimes be the protagonist of an outfit. I own tons of jeans but there are only a few I consider my besties and can wear nonstop. Good fitting jeans are very hard to find but this particular pair from the Hectik By Natalia collection has succeeded all of my expectations. They are very trendy and hug me in all of the right places accentuating my latina curves.

Styling these jeans was a simple task. For shoes I went with a comfortable pair of black wedges that are easy to walk in all day long. The stylish halter top I wore adds a touch of sophistication to this effortless modern chic look. You can purchase all of these pieces at www.hectikbynatalia.com

By the way there’s currently a huge sale on the website so, be sure not to miss out on some major savings.

Be You, Be Lovely

New Year’s Eve Outfit

December 28, 2015

New Year’s Eve is right around the corner. That means we are all on the search for that fabulous outfit to ring in the New Year! Now, when it comes to planning the perfect NYE outfit I tend to stress out. As much as I love sparkles this year I’m inspired to switch things up a bit. My goal for my NYE look is to look and feel feminine, chic and sexy. So my solution is……a long dress.

This dress I’m wearing is from Hectik by Natalia dress. I love the colors and patterns in addition the off the shoulder design adds a touch of sassiness and spice. The high waisted details of the design give an illusion of a smaller waste line, which flatters the figure. Honestly, that’s a major plus for me especially after all of the holiday feasting I’ve accomplished.

To finish off the look I added killer red heels. Now with this gorgeous outfit I’m officially ready to say goodbye to 2015 and welcome 2016.
