Bangs
While the weather might still be warm outside I am already thinking fall hair change up! While I am absolutely in love with my long dark mermaid locks with mocha highlights the fall always makes me want to do something \”different\” to my locks. This year I am thinking about getting bangs! Over the past few years many celebrities have gotten bangs, and honestly I am loving the look. Especially the long sweeping bangs.
What do you think of bangs? Love them or hate them?
Would you ever get them?

Cardi Party
5 Reasons you Should Own a Cardigan- Class it up. Cardigans are fabulous they are not only fabulous accessories to keep you warm, but they are great to wear to work or dinner with the boyfriends parents!
- Color. Buy a cardigan in a bright color to dress up a neutral outfit. For example a plain black tank top with jeans, a colorful cardigan and simple jewelry. Hello runaway ready!
- Wardrobe Versatility. All those fabulous summer tank tops we all have to have, and buy every summer. They look fabulous in the fall with a cardigan over them
- Be prepared for anything. If you live in state such as Michigan with bi-polar unpredictable weather…. in the morning it could be 70 degrees and the afternoon it\’s 40. Cardigans are a cute accessory to throw on or off as needed; not to mention they\’ll never ruin your outfit!
Spring Forward to 2011 trends
While I have talked about Fashion Week nail trends (here and here oh and a how-to here) I figured it was time to show some of my favorite makeup trends and how to achieve the look. So far Rachel Roy and Betsey Johnson have my favorite looks when it comes to makeup trends! Many of my favorite trends use MAC Cosmetics. However my two absolute favorites Betsey used Stila and Ms. Roy used Bobbi Brown.
