World Cup

The 2010 FIFA World Cup must have been on my brain when I rooted around my closet piecing this look together. In fact, when I was in high school I wanted to play for the girl's soccer team, however my AP classes wouldn't permit the required time for it. I wanted nothing more than to parade around campus with my soccer playing boyfriend in knee socks and cleats. I had a lot of energy and really desired to run it off on the field each afternoon with my friends.

La Dama T Dress. American Apparel shorts. Noir rings. Vintage turquoise cuff. La Dama studded ballet flats.

FIFA. Who are you cheering for? GOOOAAAAAL!

The cobwebby detail on the back of this t-shirt dress from La Dama was far too good to hide. I opted to wear it backwards to really showcase the design well. When I wear grey I enjoy mixing in shiny accessories to play off of it. Thus glittering rings, a 200 hundred year old vintage turquoise cuff and studded ballet flats converged.

Ps. Thank you so much for the Feature on my Collage work, Cat. :)

(Ph. December 2009)

When I'm stuck in a style rut I look to Alexis Bledel and Sarah Jessica Parker for inspiration. I believe a balanced blend of quirky and traditional initiated the Carrie Bradshaw or Rory Gilmore in every girl.

Which Celebrity do you draw inspiration from?

Reflections

As a blogger, I am most often asked a lot of different questions. Usually about my hair. What products do I use? How do I care for it? I'm also asked about the kind of makeup I wear on an everyday basis. So, I thought I would dedicate this post to all of my special readers and answer a few questions.

Hair Care: I am loyal to Pantene Pro-V for the shine and bounce infused into my tresses with every single rinse. John Freida tames any Frizz that Summer humidity may bring along with it. I have yet to deal with a tangle that Garnier Fructis conditioner could not restore and revitalize. Hana Shine Shield Thermal Protectant helps lock in moisture and strengthen hair (used best before) applying the stress of heat styling. I finish it all off with my Hana Professional Flat Iron 1" Pink Edition.

*Bonus: For stronger hair and lasting shine: Consume plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and drink at least 5 glasses of water a day.

Image Sources: Google, and linked sites.

Everyday Makeup: Cover Girl foundation in Natural Beige, I prefer it in powder compact form. Black or brown eyeliner, swapping between Stila Kajal in Onyx and Soft Kohl in Sable Brown by Rimmel. I favor nude lipsticks and glosses such as the glossimers by Chanel. However, when I want to vamp things up, red is it. Royal Red by Maybelline (worn HERE) is my choice favorite followed by Hot Pink Schiap by Nars running a close second. I want to try Red Lizard by Nars next.

Body: I was able to pamper my skin recently, courtesy of Aveeno and Lucky magazine. At first go, I slathered my legs and toes. Less than an hour later, this 24-Hour Ultra-Hydrating Whipped Souffle by Aveeno made me feel as if I had just left the spa, invigorating scent and all. The best part? It's packed with antioxidant-rich vitamins, soothing Shea and Cocoa butters plus nourishing Oatmeal.
