A Little Bit of History in Fashion.

As time passes trends come and go. No one can forget the fashion that defined the 1970's and 1980's. Now lets think back.. I mean way back, even to the Victorian era. I have always been intrigued by this time period, not only in fashion but in even the homes and culture. Think of fashion icons now. Most people today would come up with names of actors, singers, or models. Back in the late 18th century France, the fashion icon was the Queen Marie Antionette. As American women we have the freedom to wear whatever we want. In Marie's time the women were confined to heavy dresses, corsets, and head dresses. These gowns were made with luxurious fabrics in rich, saturated colors and often had intricate beading or lace work. You can see in the paintings how much a very small waist was emphasized in all of the dresses.




Even though trends will probably never go back to how they were in the 18th century it is still interesting to think about how different times were back then.

Products I Recommend.

I may not have the most expensive beauty rountine but that's definately fine with me. You don't have to go to the department store and spend tons of money on stuff that doesn't even last you that long. It's pretty much the same stuff they just slap a designer label on there and hike up the prices.

I've tried tons of different liquid foundations. This Covergirl TruBlend is the best so far. I love the coverage and that they have so many shades.

I used to always use body wash but i love this bar soap. It doesn't dry you out at all and smells really good.

I LOVE this perfume! It's Buckle Original. It smells so good and is not too heavy or musky.
This is the best toothpaste because it's citrus and not the same old boring mint flavor.





This acne treatment works the best and fastest. All you do is dab it on there's not multiple steps.



This is my favorite lotion ever! You stay moisturized forever and it has a little bit of shimmer in it.





I like this face wash because it takes away redness and doesn't dry you out. One bottle lasts forever.




Peace.

Hello Summer.

There are many ways you can update your closet for summer without spending money on a whole new wardrobe. All you have to do is purchase a few key pieces to update what you already have.

With every new season comes new trends. Just because it's a "trend" doesn't mean you have to wear it. Every once and a while something will come around that's cute but usually it's just a fad that no one besides a runway model would wear.

Here's my little list of ideas:

1. An updated top: There's so many new shapes, prints, and colors coming out. It never hurts to try something on.. you may be pleasantly suprised. Try something with ruffles, a bright print, or a banded bottom.

2. Dark wash bermuda shorts: These are a summer staple. You can dress them up or down. Try a pair with interesting detail on the back pockets.

3. New purse: This is the easiest way to update your wardrobe. Just think.. you carry your purse everyday.. no matter where you go or what you're wearing. Try a bright color or pattern. Your purse doesn't have to match every single thing you own.




*Of course i couldn't talk about a purse without including my pick for cutest purse of the season. It's made by Pauric Sweeney.

4. New sandals: I'm not talking the same old flip flops. I mean an actual pair of sandals that go with everything. If you get a little wedged heel you can dress it up too.


P.S.- I'm not big on the going green trend either but i just wanted to say happy Earth Day. I think that we have a beautiful world and we need to remember who created it. Peace.
