Picks of the week.

I always like to throw some different styles in for my pics of the week. That's probably because that's more my personality. I like to switch it up quite a bit...dress to impress, simple dresses, boots (all styles..mostly), jackets, be down right comfy and I actually like a sporty style too! Here are some styles that I like for different reasons, and as usual, hope that these can give you some inspiration when going through your closets...or shopping! May all of you style lovelies have a beautiful weekend!

OK, I am liking these jeans that Kim K. has on, and can't help but love the jacket too.






Amerie did it again for me....love this dress, and tan heels too!



Do you see those tights?!









I am into the bomber/biker jackets and I like this casual look with it. Adds just enough to this simple style. * Something to remember: It's always fun to play your make-up, up, when wearing a simple look;)

I am one to usually opt for heels, but Gwyneth shows us that some cute flat boots still give some style (comfort too!) when in mommy mode.

This pic is obviously more about the purse than the outfit, and just wanted to show that a great tote is always needed no matter what the outfit....just makes everything better!!

I not only like the blazer with the skinny jeans that Gabrielle is sportin' , but also like the ruffles peeking out...makes it extra feminine.





I like this just for Keri's shirt...love the sleeves and the color.

Like the thigh-highs on Hayden, and the coat too.

Eva is another who's style never seems to disappoint me.

















Something to ponder on this weekend: If you were at a point were you have reached your FULL potential, where do you feel you would be right now?

Until Monday.....

Picks of the week.

OK, so first of all, I had to post this dress that I saw and share it with you all because I love it and want it! The rest of my pics for the week are all great looks with the blazer. I love how you can wear the blazer with jeans (which looks so good) for a more dressy-casual look. Of course, a blazer always looks good with some cute dress pants or skirts as well, giving you some extra class. Check these out.

OK, this isn't a blazer but still loved this light suede jacket.

Some extra edge with the torn jeans.

Really like the white blazer with jeans, and the black heels.

Can't go wrong with this look.

Nice clean and dressy, yet comfortable, and also like the extra color with the blouse.

Couldn't help but notice all the tights around....

Like the red.

Really like the black tights with the nude dress....different.

Love the pattern of the tights and ooh, love those heels too !

Shh......it's our little secret.

While most of these style and beauty tips are already known, they can still work as great reminders for aiding in little ways to look and feel extra good. If you haven't already heard of some of these "tricks of the trade", then here are some new found tips for you to make secrets of your own.

One way to instantly slim your tummy is to wear a jean with a higher waist. This will seriously slim you down in seconds and, if only a little, it is still slimming. Eat foods with high potassium and fiber like bananas, cantaloupe, apples etc., reduce starch and carbs, reduce soda, caffeine, carbonated water, and take Mydol or Motrin when on your period. Oh, one more thing....stop slouching.

Keeping your eyebrows waxed and plucked will always keep your face looking brighter and opened up. After giving those bad boys some TLC, hold them in place by using a clear mascara. There's something so attractive to the eye with a nice shaped brow, and why not keep it in place.

Wearing a lipstick in a warm pink shade, which flatters all skin tones, will distract people's eyes from any imperfections or blemishes giving you a more perfect look with your skin.

To really show off those cheek bones go with a color to best complement your tone (the color when you're flushed is always your best match) and as a guide; rose is best for fair skinned, peach with olive tones, and apricot or an even red with dark tones. As said by Shane Paish, make up artist, "apply in a C shape". Start at the center of the brow and apply around to cheek bones, and by using this method it will help to create an over all sheen to that area.

A quick way to instantly groom your nails and give them some shine, when your are not home or carrying cuticle oil, is to take some of your clear lip shine/balm and dab it over your cuticles.

Want shiny legs? After exfoliating (baking soda, or sugar and honey are great home remedies for this) apply baby oil, almond oil, vaseline, a heavy moisturizer, olive oil or a shimmer body lotion. You can also add your own shimmer in with any of these by mixing some glitter, or a light shimmer lotion with any of those listed above.

Tights and nylons are not only great support for your legs and a great wear with heels, but they can also create illusions with your style. By blending the color of your tights with your shoes you can instantly make your legs appear slimmer and when making your skirt the same shade as both of those, you will have added some length to your legs too! *Extra tip: before putting on your tights lightly apply some lotion to your legs to help the tights slide on a with more ease.

Even taking a warm iron over jeans and a t-shirt will not only polish your look up but also make you feel more polished, especially when you're going for comfort and a more relaxed look. Take the extra five minutes to run the iron over these clothes. Really, you will look and feel even better through out your day.
