Kendall Jenner Outshines Kim Kardashian at Met Gala!




Last night Kendall Jenner was both breath-taking and glamorous, in her custom, Top Shop gown. 
Ever since her Vogue debut this year, she is proving to the fashion world that she is always a step ahead of her famous older sister when it comes to fashion.  From her hair, down to her toes, she was styled to perfection. Perfectly, on theme with the "Charles James" Met exhibition, she looks like she could have come straight out of the pages of VOGUE. 
Either she is born with an incredible sense of style, or she is just extremely clever and listens to the right people. Which ever is the case, Kim Kardashian definitely could learn a thing or two from her younger sister. 



Kim Kardashian on the other hand, struggled with her Met Gala attire. She was spotted leaving Lanvin, with a side slit so high up, that her "unmentionables" were all on display. Double sided tape anyone?


To LANVIN's surprise, somehow between leaving their store and arriving at the Met, she edited her look. She opted out of her leather cuff bracelets and edgy matching belt, and switched up her shoes and belt for something a bit more "classic", however, it ended up altering the entire look in a boring way. The belt, cuffs, and shoes, all worked together harmoniously creating that signature LANVIN edge, and without it, the entire look landed rather flat.
Here is where I agree with her. She was definitely not dressed according to theme, and her look was a bit too rock & roll leaving LANVIN. However, changing it up on her car ride toward the event made the look neither elegant nor better. In fact it made the entire look undone, and rather amateur. 
Unfortunately, Kim has developed a bit of a habit of chopping up her Designer duds, or adding her own twist, but never does she quite hit the fashion mark.

Go from Business Attire to Dinner Party in 5 min.



Work attire is usually required to be simple and professional. Nothing too interesting or glamorous. Some businesses even require you to not wear any perfume due to customers not appreciating certain scents.

So what do you do those days when you have a girls night out or a romantic date right after work?

I have prepared for you a typical professional look and used the "Glam Bag" to easily give your look a pop of glamour. A bright scarf, and a flower brooch, brings instant glow go your face. The Dior Make-UpPalette is perfect for adding a pop of color to your face. Add some ruby earrings and a spritz of perfume and you are ready for a glamorous night out!

Frumpy to Stylish in 5 min With Your Glam Bag





In my previous post I have written about the contents of a Glam Bag, and how it can transform you from frumpy to stylish in 5 min.

Here I have taken a typical outfit I would wear on my lazy days wear I barely get my hair up, nerdy black frames, a t-shirt with something silly written on it, and a cropped black jacket to keep me warm. A perfectly great outfit to go to school and read books or to work when you know you will not have any meetings or appointments. Then your phone rings....

"Hey are you free tonight? I have extra tickets to a Concert, wanna go?"

You have no time to go home, you look like a mess, but you really want to go, what to do? It's moments like these a pre packed Glam bag will come in handy. Leave it in your trunk, locker, office, etc. and never worry about a last minute invite again!

What's a GLAM Bag?




The Glam Bag is for those moments when you find yourself horribly under dressed, and you need a glam miracle. We've all had those moments, where the one day you went to work or school, looking rather blah, you get an invite to something rather special. Or perhaps you have been working all day, and now you must go to a fancy business dinner. Wouldn't it be nice to quickly and easily look 10 times more glamorous?

If this sounds like you, then here is a solution. Pre make this Glam Bag and never say no to glamour again.

You will need:

1.) A Bag 

2.) Hollywood Secrets, foldable ballet flats

3.) Perfume

4.) Make up Palette, and Nail Polish

5.) Silk scarf

6.) Brooch

7.) Black T-shirt

8.) Cuff

9.) Hair Clip

10.) Contacts

11.)  Earrings

12.) Statement Necklace

Keep this bag in your car, office or locker. I recommend to use inexpensive pieces, just to be safe. It is also ideal for travel trips.

PR 2014: *Secrets*of Picking Winter Accessories




During the cold final months of winter, at minimum 4 main fashion accessories should be considered. If you only need one hat, then be sure to match that hat with your gloves, statement necklace and scarf. 

The problem with most girls are they pick their favorite hat one day, a fabulous scarf another day, and gloves maybe from last year? Not to mention if you bought a coat loving a new trendy color, you can end up looking like a hot mess when you have to wear all of them together. 

My advice is, match your accessories to your coat. Hat, gloves, scarf, put it together in away to show your style. Believe it or not, this is the main outfit people will see you in all winter. Avoid those pre-made sets where you can buy all 3 together. It is a safe way to look okay, but honestly it is too matchy-matchy. Be unique and figure out a trio that sets you apart from the standard girl.

Lastly, match your jewelry to your accessories. It will tie your outwear together with your inner wear. Everything will become a complete idea and set your fashion bar very high. 

good luck!
