The Most Magical Day..

Posted on: February 16th, 2012 by Paige 8 Comments

As many of you know we were away on a buying trip this week. I personally love buying trips, it is fun to get away enjoy time with my mom, look for new things for the stores, eat great food and get new ideas. This was no doubt my favorite buying trip we have ever gone on. I feel like we found so many new AMAZING brands and styles of clothes we have never had before. From jewelry to purses, chunky knit sweaters, dressy dresses, casual dresses, glitzy tops, lounging outfits & cell phone accessories, we found it all.

Before we left I was contacted and asked to take a look at the new line Betsey Johnson has out, super cute clothes for great prices.

Of course I jumped at that opportunity..

1. Every school report I ever wrote was on Betsey Johnson

2. I have a closet full of her clothes

3. The line sheets she sent were way too cute not to go take a look

( cute graphic tees, cardigans with crystal buttons, floral dresses, lightening bolt sweaters, & skull lace pattern blouses )

My mom and I made it to the decked out pink booth on Valentines day and gushed over the clothes. We sat down for our appointment eating pink pearl candy (too cute for words) and picking out clothes. It just so happened that Betsey herself was making an appearance at the show. I was beyond excited to just get to see her even if it was behind a crowd of people. She was taking pictures and talking on a pink swarovski crystal microphone to everyone, and then it happened. She took a break and came into the booth, I was just about freaking out when she smiled and said “oh good! you girls are ordering do you like the line?”

At that moment that was more than enough for me, then she sat down at the table next to us and they brought out the pink champagne for us all. And if this all wasn’t enough my mom and I got to talk to her before we left for the night, my mom let her know that she was basically the reason I was so in love with fashion growing up and she asked me how old I was, how I got started and where my stores were at. I told her and she said ” you are so young, keep working hard, never stop.. you better be doing it till you are 72 like me“. Those words were the best advice anyone has ever given me, and it gave me more motivation than I ever knew possible. We ended with a BIG hug and a picture.

This was one of the most magical days of my life, I got to meet & talk to my fashion icon, buy her clothes for my stores & spend time with my mom. I feel so blessed for all of the amazing opportunities my job has given me and I am so excited to share them all with you guys. I can’t wait to show you all the great new clothes!

A Girls Night In Outfit

Posted on: February 8th, 2012 by Paige 1 Comment

For my last Valentines date night outfit I have it for the girl who is staying in with her girlfriends to watch chick flicks and eat some popcorn, or maybe for the couples that have been together and want to keep it simple this year on the couch feeling comfy.

Keep your hair and makeup simple, wear some tinted moisturizer and a little bronzer for some color, again I love Nars Laguna for a pretty bronzed look. Apply some black mascara & a nude lip color like Creme’ Brulee Lip butter from Revlon. It gives you  a sheer color but all the moisture of a lip balm. For hair just take your natural texture and put it in a messy fish tail braid, it’s on trend so you wont feel like a slob and you will look super cute while being comfy.

Show some love for Valentines day with super cute and comfy heart tee!

Just because it’s a girls night it doesn’t mean you have to wear sweat pants. Put on a cute pair of jeggings they are super cute and totally perfect for lounging around.

Now grab your girlfriends order a pizza and pop in some great girly movies..

A Vintage Date Night Outfit

Posted on: February 7th, 2012 by Paige 2 Comments

Every girl wants to feel like an old hollywood starlet now and then, doesn’t she?  Well here is a way to mix old hollywood glamour with a bit of todays glamour.

Start by blow drying your hair straight & smooth. Using a large curling iron a 1 1/2 ” or larger curl 3 inch sections of your hair, while the hair is still hot re roll the curl back up into  a circle and secure it with a bobbie pin to cool in place. Start on your makeup while you wait, you want a flawless face so go with a full coverage foundation. For cheeks mix a bit of Nars madly with Macs well dressed for a pink flush. The eyes are an easy smokey look, take a matte brown like brown down from mac and darken your outer V, make sure to blend with a fluffy brush. Line your upper and lower waterlines with a chocolate liner & for the full effect use a thick mascara like Too Faced Lash Injection and apply false eyelashes. Lips are the most important part of this look, this is where the new glamour comes in. Instead of the ever popular red lip go for a bright pink, Chatter Box from Mac is the perfect Fuchsia Pink, Apply with a lip brush for precision. Now back to your hair, it should of cooled by now so carefully unroll each curl and take a boars bristle brush to gently brush out your curls. Sweep it over one shoulder and your ready to go!

This lace black and nude dress is the perfect pick for a special night out, wear it over tights with a black pump.

It’s most likely going to be chilly this valentines so make sure you have a coat that will finish off your outfit and keep up with your theme.

Since your hair is swept to one side make sure to have a statement pair of earrings

A Romantic Date Night Outfit

Posted on: February 3rd, 2012 by Paige 1 Comment

Going along with my Valentines Day date outfits here is my romantic pick. It is effortlessly chic while still being so put together. This is best with day old slept on curls or your natural wave.

Start by flipping you head upside down and gathering all your hair to a high point on your head loosely. Secure it with an elastic, tease all the hair in the pony tail. Take one to one and a half inch sections and start bobbie pinning them to the opposite side of your head. Once done pull out a few pieces to frame your face and spray to hold into place. For make up keep it simple, use a full coverage foundation like makeup forever HD for a flawless look. Apply a bronzer on your cheekbones and temples for a sun kissed glow, my personal favorite is Laguna bronzer from Nars. Fill in your eyebrows with Revlons eye brow pencil, curl lashes & apply a thick mascara like Covergirl Lash Blast. For lips apply a sheer pink gloss like POP from Smashbox. To finish the look apply Macs cream color base in pearl on your cheek bones, above your cupids bow and down the bridge of your nose for a nice glow.

This Lace Blouse Is Perfect For A Night Out At A Chic Little Cafe, Pair It With A Cream Or Blush Cami. The Exposed Zipper Down The Back Adds For An Extra Pretty Detail.

Wear One Stand Out Piece Of Jewelry To Keep The Look Simple.

Wearing a Trouser Jean Elongates Your Legs Making You Look Phenomenal.

A Girly Date Night Outfit

Posted on: January 30th, 2012 by Paige 1 Comment

With Valentines day coming up there will be many date night opportunities, so I figured why not do a few posts on date night attire. This first post is dedicated to an easy, pretty, girly outfit.

Think Rachel Bilson.. effortlessly chic, messy hair & simple makeup but with an outfit so cute you would die to wear it.

For her hair wrap one inch sections around the barrel of your curling iron with out using the clamp, alternate the ways of the curls for messy texture. For your makeup start with a well moisturized face then a lightweight foundation. For a girly glow try the new maybelline dream bouncy blush in rose petal, Smudged brown pencil eyeliner, bourbon from urban decay is very creamy and easy to smudge but dries like a dream. Finish off with a bright wash on your lips, try Revlon’s new lip butter in lollipop on a brush and dab it on the lips, they are so moisturizing you wont even need a gloss.

Start with a flowy chiffon blouse this dusty pink is perfect.

Pair it with a fist full of your favorite bangles

And of course you need a great bag, so keep it in the neutral family & carry a creamy bag with gold hardware

The “IT” Hair Style ..

Posted on: January 27th, 2012 by Paige 2 Comments

The Fun Bun, Top Knot, Ballerina Bun…Who else is obsessed with this high fashion hair style? It is the perfect “I don’t have time to wash my hair” hair style.

The trend started on the runways but quickly got swept up into everyday girls. I have to say besides my everyday wavy curls, this is my favorite hairstyle, one because it is SO easy  and two it looks different each and every time you do it. Make it sleek one day & mess it up the next for a more casual look.

Here are a few of my favorite top knots!

Springs Hottest Color

Posted on: January 21st, 2012 by Paige 2 Comments

Like fall last year a hue of orange is on our fashion horizon this season, and I have to admit I am head over heels in love with this juicy bright color.

Spring is always about florals and mutes (which will still be huge this year), but I am most excited about so many pieces in this vivid orange. Look for it in clothes, makeup, nails & shoes!

Paired with your newly sunkissed skin and open toed shoes you are sure to be beaming this spring & summer.

Be sure to step outside of your comfort zone this spring, try at least one bright piece of clothing.

Top 5 Golden Globe 2012 Dresses

Posted on: January 16th, 2012 by Paige 1 Comment

Last night was one of my favorite nights in fashion (besides the oscars) the Golden Globes are the perfect time to sit on the family room couch with my mom and critique each dress that walks down the red carpet. Last night we saw a ton of nude and light colors which I loved! And goes completely along with everything we ordered for the spring for 1 Happy Girl. Think second skin clothes, with light frosty makeup and great accessories! So now to my top 5 picks from last nights Golden Globes..

Number One: Charlize Theron, One of the most classically beautiful women in Hollywood. She nails it every time she steps on the carpet.

Number Two: Jessica Alba, Who wears purple dresses better than any other woman.

Number Three: Kate Beckinsale, Perfection.. That’s the only word to explain this look.

Number Four: Kate Winslet, One of my favorite actresses (so happy she won for Mildred Pierce) looks amazing in this classic cut.

Number Five: Nicole Kidman, Not only does she have some great arm candy (keith urban) but this slim silhouette shows off her perfect figure.
