Fun Summer Nails







   Good afternoon ladies. I'm hoping you all had a lovely weekend, as I did. For today's blog I want to talk about summer nails, and about colours and designs we can do. Let's leave all the dark boring colors for the winter, and focus on the fun and bright colors for the summer. Let's take a look at some of these summer looks
 
Think Bright: Okay, I don't know about you guys, but I absolutely love bright colors. They look very pretty, especially if the outfit you wear is not too colorful. The nice thing about these colors is that you can play around with them. For example, you can paint your marriage finders and your thumbs really bright, and the rest slightly less bright. It's all about playing around with colors. Another thing you can do is, paint half your nail with a bright color, and the other half with a color that is less bright, and then you can rotate them as you go.
 
Water Marble: Hey, now this is something trendy, and fairly new to the nail trend. It does get quite messy, so make sure that you have a significant amount of tape around your fingers. This is what you will need, a cup of water, nail polishes, and tape. All you need to do is deep the nail brushes in the cup of water. You may use as many colors as you like. Once you've added a fair amount of color to the water, you will notice that a design has formed in the water. Next wrap your fingers with tape and deep them in the water. Fix the nails slightly if you need to, let them dry, and finally, remove the tape. You will be left with very unique designs on each nail.
 
Ombre Nails: These types of nails can be rocked anytime. However, the colors you select can vary by the seasons. Truthfully there are two ways you may decide to do ombré. You may decide to do ombré on each nail or you may decide to buy the kit that has all five different shades of a color, and do ombré on each had. Personally I like the kit because it's much easier, and it looks very pretty. However, if you want to try doing ombré on each nail, go for it. All you need is three or four different shades of a color, a makeup sponge, and a little bit of water. You always want to keep the sponge slightly wet. Then you add a line of each color to the sponge. Once you're done that, test it on paper and then press it on your nail. This look can be messy, especially if it's your first time trying it, so you can wrap tape around your fingers to make less of a mess.
 
      Okay, there you have it ladies. I hope you try these looks out. I hope you all have a good week ahead, ciao.

Bathing Suit Tips








               Hey ladies, I hope you all enjoyed a great weekend and got the rest that you all needed. For today's blog, I would like to discuss swimsuit talk. And what kind of bathing suit works best with each body, because let's face it, we all have something we wish we could change about our body. Let’s take a look at the types of bathing suits there are.
 
One Piece: One pieces look good on everyone. If you however, feel that you have extra skin around your belly, one piece is the way to go. They are perfect because they hug around the mid-section and make one look slimmer. These swimsuits work wonders. And as for most things, wearing darker colours would make one look even slimmer.
 
Top: Alright, if any of you feel like you weren’t blessed with enough breasts, do not worry. There is a solution. When shopping for a bathing suit, whether a bikini or a one piece, make sure it has a design, ruffles work the best. Strips are the one thing to stay away from because they tend to make you bosoms disappear, especially if they are thin stripes. Another thing that works is having a top that has a pretty picture on it, and having bottoms that are plain. That tends to balance your body out, especially if you have a bum.
 
Bottoms: Well ladies, first thing is first, there are different kinds of bottoms, however the most common one is the underwear like bottom. Now, to compliment the figure even more, I suggest wearing the sides of the underwear a little higher. This creates the illusion of having longer legs. Another type of bottoms I have seen are the one that are skirts and have ruffles. This type of bottom works wonders if you feel like you lack a bum; they make cute little skirts. Finally, there are the swimsuit shorts; these shorts look great if you have a bit of a bum, they really compliment the figure.
 
               Okay ladies, there you have today's blog. I hope you all enjoyed the tips and found them helpful. Always remember, you are looking for the best bathing suit the compliment your individual figure, not the other way around. And don't forget ladies, that bathing suites can always be mixed and matched.

Incorporate Summer Pieces Into Your Fall Wardrobe



With summer coming to an end and fall slowly creeping up on us, we find ourselves with piles of clothes that are no longer weather appropriate. I mean, it is not as if I can rock my daisy dukes and tank tops in the middle of October, right? Wrong! Incorporating your favorite summer pieces into your fall wardrobe is quite possible and not as challenging as one might think.

Tank Tops

Now, tank tops are easy. Throw a cardigan over them and your out the door. However, if you want to jazz it up a little more, try adding a chunky belt or scarf to completely transform a summer tank into a fall staple.
 







Shorts

While any sensible person would not be caught dead in shorts after August, fashionistas are not sensible so we figure out ways to make it work. Lucky for us, knit tights are quite popular this season and they pair beautifully with shorts. They will be sure to keep you warm while giving your shorts a high fashion, weather appropriate twist.
 

Dresses



I am a huge fan of dresses in the fall and winter. No, I am not talking about sweater dresses. Summer dresses are great for fall because they add a little character and uniqueness to an outfit. Personally, I love pairing bright dresses a dark cardigan, tights and flats or a leather jacket and boots for a little edge. There are so many different ways to style them!


Colored denim


We saw A LOT of colored denim this summer. It was everywhere! Fortunately, this trend will be following us into winter. While we will be seeing darker colored denim, it does not mean we have to get rid of our brighter denim. Contrary to popular belief, bright colors are perfect for the fall. Bright denim makes for the perfect pop of color to a otherwise drab outfit.

Do not be intimated by fall! Bring out your favorite summer pieces and have fun with them. The new fall trends are amazing but, it does not mean we have to bid our favorite summer trends adieu.
