Get The Look: Ashley Benson

Ashley Benson's Teen Vogue Cover
I was instantly amazed with my new issue of Teen Vogue as I saw a gorgeous Ashley Benson gracing the covers. I love Ashley's make-up and it is perfect for an everyday beauty look. This look is so easy to recreate with just a few make-up basics. Pull out your foundation, primer, liner, blush/bronzer and mascara ladies!
  1. Start off with a very clean face. Use concealer to hide any blemishes then add on some matte foundation.
  2. Take some golden blush or bronzer, suck in your cheeks and contur your face. Make sure to blend to stop harsh lines while dragging the brush up into your temples.
  3. Prime your eyelids and line your top lash line with a light coating of black. Create a cateye if you wish to add a little drama to your eyes.
  4. Coat your lashes with some mascara, but keep them natural by using only 1-2 swipes.
  5. Put some primer on your lips and add a pretty pink lipstick to give your look some color.
Remember practice makes perfect and modify any steps to fit you . Rock this beautiful beauty look chicas!

Fashion 101: The Blazer

Look #1
Look #2
Blazer are the hot trend in the fashion world lately. Blazers can be used to dress up a casual outfit, add color, or just keep you warm. I love the variety of colors, shapes, and sizes blazers come in, they are perfect for any wardrobe.  Kim Kardashion is always sporting a blazer, but underneath it all is just the basics. Kim is wearing skinny jeans, flowly tanks, and chic accessories  which are perfect for adding blazers too. The first look shows off a casual, white cheetah print blazer that adds nice pizazz to a plain tank. The second look is a fashion risk! I love that she paired a striped blazer with shoulder pads to her outfit. Kim works the look and is not letting it overpower her. Dress up your everyday look with a blazer ladies!

Natural Beauty Challenge Week Four

The Natural Beauty Challenge has gone by so quickly, there are only 2 weeks left! During this week my skin has been getting better as I found how to balance cleasning my face throughtout the day. I now only use a cleanser and spot treatment at night and every other day I use a scrub in the morning. Also because I do workout, I keep facial wipes in my purse to keep the excess oil and bacteria off my face. As for my hair, I have been making sure to comb through to prevent my usual head of tangles and decided to wear it down the entire week. I advise everyone to try out facial wipes, spot treatments, and/or a nice daily cleanser or scrub. Those product will do wonders for your skin, but be sure to think about your specific skin type such as oily, normal, or dry. Try out different comb and brush sizes for your hair because I have discovered that it can make a huge impact on the smoothness and amount of tangles in the hair. Keep it going on the Natural Beauty Challenge!

Fashion 101: Colorful Jeans

Victoria Justice

Hayden Panettiere
Jessica Alba
Colorful jeans are great to go in your closet and work with any style! I love that they can make any outfit stand out and go with just about anything. You can take bright pastel colors and make the skinny jeans go girly and romantic or take a darker color and pair it with more edgy pieces. I have recently just purchased my first pair which are in a bright blue color, I can't wait to wear them! I am especially in love with Jessica Alba's take on seagreen skinny jeans with a chic grey sweatshirt, she looks fabulous, casual, and chic. Try out colorful skinny jeans ladies, especially for spring!

Fashion 101: How To Create Curves

Blake Lively

Leighton Meester
Body shapes and sizes come in a large variety and is unique to each person. Some ladies may have lots of curves while others go straight up and down, but there is a way for everyone to have curves. Contrasting color and peplum dresses and skirts are a fashionable way to create curves in any frame. Blake Lively is showing off the peplum dress trend in all black giving her an hour glass frame. The peplum widens out her hips making her waist appear smaller. Stay clear of a peplum skirt if you already have wider hips chicas! Leighton Meester is wearing a fitted high waisted skirt which alone can create an hour glass frame and adds a crop tank that gives the curve even more definition. Outfits like Leighton Meester can come in a complete dress or be made with seperates. Try out peplum skirts and dresses and contrasting colors to create curves!

Fashion 101: Lace On Lace

Ashley Tisdale

Lace On The Runway
Lace is making a major comeback. Lace is so beautiful and even gives a vintage, romantic feel to any outfit. Perfect for spring! And lace on lace is even more perfect and more fashion forward. I have seen tons of lace shorts, but I have also seen lace crop tops.  So why not put them together and make a statement. To keep the look from looking too old or boring, you can pair a bright tank to peek out underneath the lace top or a cute pair of wedges. Remember to keep the look young because all lace can begin to look too old and lose its youth. Try out the lace on lace look chicas!
