Dare to be Bold?

With getting all dolled up for all of these special occasions, that the Holidays and New Years bring, we not only put on something extra pretty but we tend to spend some extra time with our pretty little faces too. This is a great time to go for that bolder look that you may always want to do, yet steer away in fear of looking too 'over done'. Well, why not try it now, to go with that fabulous dress, jumpsuit, or rockin' pant suit you will be wearin' and a stylin' in ? Here are some looks to give you some inspiration and a little extra push, perhaps, in daring to be a little bit bolder with your make up these Holidays!

Love Cameron's hi-lited cheekbones.

A little softer look, yet still on the bolder side.

I have always been a fan of Jennifer's smokey eye look.

Here's a quick self help 'how to' with a smoky eye look...there are more you can view...lips, cheeks,etc. too.

If you're not a fan of the bolder make up style, yet want to add a little more to your look, accessorize your hair. These lovelies did and all look fab! All images below found @ essence

Great for short hair when you want to dress the hair up.

I love that Kelly went for something different and is trying to bring back a style.
You can find a style of this look, beautifully designed, here: RACHEL STEWART





Not only love the clip, but Tyra has a nice make up app. herself.

These are just to give you a couple of ideas, when looking for that perfect hair piece!

Whether you do go BOLD or play it safe, just remember to go loving how you look, and with what you feel confident in. The confidence you hold in how you look will, by far, have you looking more beautiful than any extra eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush or bronzer will...though, those don't hurt to try either;)

Bendiciones!!!

Picks of the Week.

So, if I had a Holiday party to attend this weekend my 'picks of the week' are of ensembles that I would definitely consider wearing. However, I am not quite sure which I would go with because it all depends on.....






If I want to make a statement with my dress, like this winter white short gown....LOVING!







If I want to wear the always classic, LBD....

If I want to try out one of the season's hottest styles, the jumpsuit, which can be worn for so many different occasions...

If I feel like wearing some color...

Here I would do without the head band, the shawl and the beaded necklace too, and go with just that beautiful gold gown.

Or, do I want to go with something absolutely Beautiful?

May you look lovely and FEEL lovely where ever this weekend may take you!

Happy Holidays!!!

Monday Then....

Jump In To This Holiday Season Perhaps?

With all of the hustle and bustle of the Holidays it can sometimes feel as though there is just not enough time in our busy schedules to really be able to go and look for that perfect Holiday attire. Hopefully I am giving you a little extra help in figuring out what you are going to be wearing for some of your special occasions this season. As you have seen, I already posted some dress ideas and if a dress is not up your preferred style lane, then may I recommend a fabulous jumpsuit. I found these more "dressy" jumpsuits (found @ victoriassecret ) and I for one, am actually liking them...what you think?

Not so much the jumpsuit or even a dress for you? Here are some great pant outfits that look just as dressy as most dresses and look very stylish. All of these styles offer some great pant and top combos to get those wheels turnin' for you in creating your "perfect" Holiday outfit! All images below found here: lanebryant

Whether you go over the top with an evening gown, try a hot jumpsuit, or choose a great pair of dress pants with a rockin' top, wear something that you feel comfortable with yourself in. The key is to 'love how you look' and what you're wearing...not what someone else might be wearing. Step out of the house and in to that Holiday party feeling confident with how you look, and you will be sure to look amazing!

Blessings!!!
