Updos & Bold Style Earrings: There is nothing better than creating your own trends. I don’t usually go by ‘whats hot or what’s not’ and when creating your own personal style, I think it’s crucial to wear what you like. What I love about fashion is creating a look and accesorizing an outfit. I also love how my style or habits can drastically change (for no reason at all). For example, for the past two years, I had been crazy about over sized stud earrings and stud earrings in general. I found that I never wore any of my “dangle” style earrings. The other day I was playing around with my hair and trying to creating a beach style summer updo and I loved the hairstyle I came up with but dangle earrings-especially bold designs & anything with jewels- seemed to fit so well with the look. This updo is wearable for day or night and makes me feel as though my look is a bit more polished.

Another fun trend that I have been wearing: bold & bright pink nails on both my fingers and toes. I never used to go bright & bold on my finger nails but it’s like another accessory to an outfit. I wore a black & white outfit and the bright pink nails really brought a little something to the look.

So today was pretty chill-I threw on my comfiest outfit and went to the mall to pick up a few tops from Charlotte Russe that are going to come in handy for future shoots as well as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day & my birthday. I also painted my nails a bright & festive pink color for Valentine’s Day.  I paired OPI’s “Got a date to-knight” & “Princesses Rule”.

Today I did a simple smoky eyed matte look using my Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Palette, Laura Geller Liquid Candlelight & MAC’s Underage.

I got my bangs cut this past week too-I was in desperate need of a trim. I’m still getting used to how short they are now! Ahh!

Hope you all have a fabulous week.

xo, Nancy

Wow! Valentine’s Day is just about 3 weeks away so I decided to try to create a Valentine’s Day inspired look. As you know, I am all about the smoky eye so I wanted to incorporate that into the look. I call this look my Sultry Romantic look. I’m always looking for more ways to wear more pink eye shadow and what I really love about this look is it’s a nice spin to such a classic look.








I kept my nails to a pale baby pink with shimmer. I used OPI’s Privacy Please & Princesses Rule (Two of my FAVORITE shades-EVER!)
Items used to create my look include:
MAC eye shadow in: Sweet Lust
A shimmery black eye shadow from one of my Too Faced Quickie palettes
An iridescent white eye shadow (also from my) Too Faced Quickie palette
NARS Multiple stick in: Luxor
Cover Girl Last Blast Mascara in Black
On Lips: MAC lipglass in Icescape
Philosophy’s lip shine in Melting Marshmallow Crème
