From the 1920s to the 1970s... just a little bit of everything. Last week I also added plenty of vintage accessories, even a new section in the shop for "miscellaneous" small items such as bow ties, sunglasses, and peter pan collar attachments for your favorite cardis and sweaters!
I have to say, I never was much of a makeup girl growing up. Sure I bought the lip glosses that were "in style" like my friends did but I never wore them half as much as they did. My regular Chap Stick was my "go to" product, never liked the super gloss feeling all over my lips. I think around my 24th birthday is when I started to take a liking to lipstick, but found the matte look to be best on me. I was also glad to see the matte finish rip the runways in some S/S 2010 and F/W 2010 Fashion Shows. Not saying that the glossy look is over, Prada's Spring 2010 version was hot with the overly saturated lips but I'm more of a matte chic. Here are some of my favorite matte picks in all shades:
Going Nude: (lots of you prob know the old trick, where you can use a bit of concealer on the lips then your lip gloss but now we have many new shades to choose sans the concealer)
1. NARS-Bangkok Pure- 3:1 Phillip Lim's S/F 2010 Show, NARS Cosmetics "beat the face" and featured a gorgeous lip. New for Fall 2010- Bangkok Pure (Matte)
2. GOSH Velvet Touch Lipstick#134 in Darling
FIERY HOT:
1. REVLON Matte Lipstick in Really Red (as wore on my b-day, below)2. MAC Lady Danger (a vivid bright coral-red matte)
3. MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL in Coral Crush (not totally matte)
Summer is around the corner and I think the hot new trend to try is the messy side braid ponytail. It's easy, simple, fun and sexy all in one look. This do works with long and shoulder length hair. There are so many different ways to accommodate this look as you can see from the images below. I have a pixie cut but if my hair was long enough I would definitely be rocking this trend day and night :). Do I hear extensions calling my name...just kidding.*sherry*
