What's Your Personal Style

Style comes in so many descriptions and it all depends on the individuals personality and personal preferences. Most styles that are created fall under these four categories: Classic, Sensual, Edgy and Feminine. What's does your style fall under? Or are you a mixture? Here's few ideas to help spruce up your style, it'll be you but only better!

Jennifer Aniston

Classic: Remove the boring from your Classic style of crisp lines and crisp tailoring by adding a hint of naughty to make sophisticated pieces less "stiff." Find a few pieces that skim your curves and defines your body. Throw in a shot of red or perhaps an animal print to accent your neutrals.

Jennifer Lopez

Sensual: There is a difference between being sexy and just plain risque! Know how to flaunt what you have without being tart by never showing more than one asset at a time. Keep your cleavage in check and watch your mini's. There is a way to be sexy without showing all that you were born with.

Rachel Bilson

Edgy: Downtown street meets uptown chic makes this style not so over the edge. Try pairing a leather jacket in an off color like gray with a bright colored scarf or bold print skirt with classic lines. In other words, mix your edgy pieces with some of your classics to re-define this style.

Feminine: When you here this word, you think of flowers, flowing skirts, ruffles and silk. Yes, but add a few sleek touches. Pair a slip dress with a boyfriend blazer.

And there you have it 4 styles with a few tips to transform your look. Enjoy!!

Skintone + Hair Color = Best Color to wear???

Hey Everyone!

As I was browsing online at instyle.com, I came across an interesting piece about colors and what's your best color based on your skin tone and hair color. I am not too sure I agree so much as I am of darker complexion, (Toasted Butter Pecan as I like to call my skin complexion) and I absolutely love lavender and kelly green against my skin. And might I add, I get many compliments :). Read the excerpt below from instyle.com:

"Everyone can wear color—it all comes down to finding the right hues for you. The shades that suit you depend on your skin tone as well as the color of your hair and eyes. Some general guidelines are as follows:

• Women with pale skin and dark hair and women with blond hair often do well with saturated brights such as violet, royal blue and emerald green.

• Women with medium-brown to dark-blond hair and warmer, darker skin tones often do better with tempered alternatives such as lavender, coral, turquoise and olive green."


So what do you think, agree or disagree? What's your favorite color to wear against your skin tone?
