Hairdo

February has come, and with it has come the winter blues (somehow I think they come hand in hand) And like most gals when they get the blues, we ether go shopping, eat chocolate, or try and give our appearance a make-over. If we have a real bad case of "Winterocyanosis" (some refer to it as winter blues or cabin fever) then we might do all three. I being much the same as any other female in the great race of females, suffer from my share of this annual affliction. Thus a remedy had to be decided upon. I was pretty sure no amount of vitamin D would help this point (however big a fan of Vitamin D I be), I must change my hair style that was all there was too it. The next question then became "to what should I change it?" You know as well as I that there is nothing worse then going in for a smashing new look and coming out sporting the latest disaster of 2011.
So I went to Google (cuz well it just seems to have an answer for everything)

And after much searching and looking at all the other people who are proudly sporting disasters of their own...I came across Instant Makeover on People.com. And amused myself greatly (probably way longer then I should of) trying on different hair styles and makeup. Still not exactly sure what my new-do will be but I have an idea of what I'm going for... now just how to describe it without it sounding like an overgrown mullet of 2011... :)

10 Fashion Myths

Your Nails, a Statement?

Now a days there is SO many options for your nails.

You could get them artificially lengthened, have them blingged, sport your favorite NFL team logo, stripes, flowers, Christmas trees for the holidays... or if your not feeling so inspired, you could go the simpler route and choose from all the colors in the rainbow and their slight variations. With all the options out there you should have no problem in choosing a look to express your mood for that day.

Tell me, when has neon yellow, lime green, or sky blue nails ever enhanced an outfit (unless maybe your a clown)? What about the latest trend of using very dark colors, like Navy Blue, Midnight Purple or Black, your nails turn black when your dead.

Have you ever been trying to listen to someone talking but get distracted at every wave of their hand, with the thought "Woowh look, Nails!" your fingers are supposed to complement not distract.

Fingernails are a natural thing, lets keep them somewhat so. There really is a classiness, and simple feminine beauty to a woman's hands when she keeps them well manicured. That means hands with soft skin, and nails clean, trimmed and filed. Wearing nail polish is fine but make sure its a soft complimentary color, or even clear. Not one that shouts "Look at ME". I personally love the look of a French, or a soft pearl pink. They are both, very versatile with many outfits matching most anything you might wear whether formal or every day, and your hands look manicured without being way over done.

Two of My Fav Looks from Ann Taylors New Fall Line

I love both of these fall layered looks by Ann Taylor they both have an air of simplicity, versatility and comfort without sacrificing style, modesty or femininity.

The first with its simple lines and colors, the layering of solid sweater over striped long-sleeve tee not only gives dimension to the outfit but gives you the comfort of the "Big comfy sweater" that we all love in this cooler weather, without the bulk on your arms. A great everyday look... or add a long two string necklace, bracelet and and a black purse to dress it up for a trip to Starbucks or a day out with the girls.

The second look has much the same going for it as the first. The eggshell white has a fresh look, and the longer waistline of the sweater acts as a sliming effect smoothing out the illusion of the bold line drawn, when a shirt falls at the "in-curve" of the waist and meets the new color and texture of the new material of your bottoms, at the "out-curve" of the hips.
And who doesn't love a scarf? The matching scarf and flats really tie the outfit together and set it off
