Fall/Winter Crop Tops!

Hi My Loves! Hope you all are having a fabulous week so far. Today I wanted to talk about fall and winter crop tops. No question about it, 2013 was the summer of the crop top. Everywhere you looked, from the sidewalk to the club scene, ladies were spotted in this baring midriff trend. Now that summer is over, many women believe that this sexy trend has to come to an end. Well I am here to tell you that this is definitely not the case! This fall and winter, the stunted shirt is back and is better than ever! As the weather gets cooler, it is imperative that one dresses for the occasion. No one wants to be running around in a sleeveless crop top in freezing temperatures, am I right?! That is why it is important to either go with long sleeve crop top, a turtleneck crop top, or even a cropped sweater when dressing in the colder months. In the pictures above, I decided to pair my cropped, floral turtleneck with some high waisted jeans. In my opinion, crop tops look best with a pair of high-waisted pants or even a high-waisted skirt.

Below are some sexy crop tops for the fall/winter months! :)

Outfit of the Day: Yellow Fringe!

Hi Loves! Sorry I haven't done a blog post in awhile. I have been extremely busy this past week and haven't really had much time to blog. But today I am back and wanted to share an 'Outfit of the Day' post with all of you! I absoutley love anything fringe and the yellow top that I am wearing in the pictures over is truly to die for! I purchased this blouse awhile back from one of my all-time favorite stores: Zara! In my opinion, Zara is one of the best clothing stores out there. I love how they mix classic pieces with new, edgier styles. Some of their items can be pretty expensive but I definitely think their clothing is worth the price tag! 

Here are some fringe tops that are similar to the one that I am wearing above:

1 Top = 3 Different Looks!

Happy Monday My Fashion Lovers! Hope you all are having a great day so far. Today I wanted to share these 3 different looks with all of you. The beauty of these 3 looks is that I actually used to same lace, off-the-shoulder top for all 3! I love putting together different outfits using one key piece! :)

Now for those that know me know that I usually NEVER repeat outfits, but I think that these 3 looks are different enough from each other that no one would even realize that you repeated the top! :)

Raw Honey Face Mask!

Hello Beautifuls! Tonight I wanted to share an inexpensive face mask with all of you that consists of only one, key ingredient - HONEY :) Using raw honey as a beauty secret dates all the way back to the days of Cleopatra. Cleopatra used to take baths filled with honey, and let me tell you, the lady was definitely knew what she was doing.

Benefits of raw honey for the skin:

- Suitable for all skin types, even those of you who have sensitive skin

- Helps to detoxify the skin

- Its acts as an antibacterial and anti-fungal agent, which helps to disinfect and speed up the healing process of acne

- Soaks up impurities

- It is loaded with antioxidants and helps restore damaged and wrinkled skin

- It is packed with nutrients and minerals such as vitamin B, iron, and calcium

- It contains gluconic acid, a mild alpha hydroxy acid which brightens the skin

- It naturally cleans your skin and leaves it super soft

How to use it:

To start off your facial you first need to purchase a jar or bottle of pure, raw honey. My favorite brand to use is called "Really Raw Honey" and it only costs about $9 bucks a jar! You can find this product at your local nutrition store. Slater the raw honey all over your face and leave it on for about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the honey with a warm washcloth. After the honey is removed, apply your favorite moisturizer to your face. I promise you that you will fall in love with your skin post-honey facial. Not only will your skin feel soft and smooth, but you will look radiant!

All in all, raw honey is incredibly good for the skin and I definitely recommend trying out this natural, inexpensive face mask!

Natural Makeup!

Hi Loves! Hope you all had a wonderful and productive week!

I posted these photos on Instagram a few days ago and absolutely fell in love with this makeup look! This look is very natural, and perfect for the summer heat!

Here's the breakdown of what I used:

Of course I used my Make Up For Ever HD Foundation in the shade 118. This foundation is simply the best for photos! I did some very light contouring with NARS Laguna Bronzer and also used it to add an overall warmth to my face. I then took NARS Orgasm Blush and patted the color onto my cheeks for a bright, but natural flush of color. Next, I used Make Up For Ever HD Powder to set my makeup! I absolutely love this powder and definitely recommend trying it if you haven't yet!

For the eyes, I took my Too Faced Naked Eye Palette and used the color "Pillow Talk" all over my lid. I then took the color "Stiletto" and blended it out all over my crease. Lastly, I added just a pop of brightness to my brow bone and the inner corners of my eyes with the color "In The Bluff". 

For eyeliner and mascara I decided to go with my two all-time favorites: L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black and Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the shade "Zero".

I filled in my brows with a dark brown eyeshadow by MAC called "Espresso" and then used Anastasia Clear Brow Gel to make sure that my eyebrows stayed put all day long!

I finished off the look by applying the perfect nude lipstick by MAC called "Hue" and added a clear lip gloss on top to give my lips a bit of shine! :)

I hope you all enjoyed this fresh and natural makeup look! Please leave any comments and/or questions you may have in the comment section below! Have a great weekend! :)

Crop Tops!

Hello My Fashionistas! Hope you all had a relaxing weekend! :) Tonight I wanted to talk about crop tops. This midriff-baring trend has been seen all over the runways this summer, and honestly, I hope it is here to stay! I absolutely love this trend and think it is perfect to wear either night or day. In the pictures above, I decided to pair this blue, textured crop top with a long maxi skirt. Over the past year or so, I have come to learn that crop tops definitely work best with high waisted bottoms. This combination is perfect because it reveals just a peek of skin - and ladies, we all know that showing too much skin is never a good thing!

Crop Top: Forever21 - $19.99

Maxi Skirt: Joyce Leslie - $14.99

Below are some more crop tops that are sexy, yet sophisticated! :)
