Don’t be afraid to explore color eye shadow this spring and summer. Here I decided to play around with my Too Faced Smokey Eye Kit. Now of course, I personally wouldn’t go out with green lips; just being a little creative for the blog.

Happy Thursday!! Today is actually bittersweet for me. Tonight is the season finale of my favorite show on TV right now, Scandal!! I am so excited to see how everything plays out. The last episode had me on the edge of my seat, jaw to the floor, and wanting more. I know I’m also going to be sad for another long break.
In honor of the season finale I’m showcasing pics of Kerry Washington strut her stuff in her first fashion spread in June Elle. Oh and if you haven’t seen Scandal, come out from that rock you’ve been living under and catch up! This is only the 2nd season so you can catch up during their hiatus and be ready for season 3.

This past weekend was the perfect weather for a beach day. I spent the afternoon exploring Long Beach and made an impromptu stop at the beach. With 80 degree weather and the beach in my backyard, how could I not?

Topshop: Cream of the Crop Tops…try saying that 5 times fast! I have a current obsession with crop tops. I don’t own one just yet ( I have a few more sit ups to do) but I will by time summer is here! I’ve styled several outfits in my head that includes pairing crop tops with jeans & a blazer, a pencil skirt, and high waisted pants. I’ve began my research and the verdict is in! When it comes to buying crop tops, Topshop is the clear winner.
About a month ago I received a reader’s request to share my workout routine and eating lifestyle. I posted a healthy alternative for burgers but hadn’t really gotten into the groove of working out…until now! Because of my schedule I don’t always have the time to go out to work out but thanks to Pinterest I have found several at home workout routines for women. This week I’m focusing on my legs and core. Join in on the fitness fun with me and complete the exercises in the chart below at least 3 times this week. It’s quick but super effective. Trust me, you will be sore the next day. I’m also incorporating a couple jogging days for cardio.

It’s time for another Style Crush! This post I’m style crushin’ on Jessica Estrada from Style for Love. I love her feminine style. She tends to mix classic with current trends…and does it well. Check out my mini style interview with her below. And don’t forget to stop by her blog!!
Spring is in the air and I couldn’t be more excited! I’m anxious for all of the spring colors, trends, and change in wardrobe. Below I’ve put together a magazine type layout to showcase this spring’s most fab shoe trends. Take a look and let me know which shoe trend is your fave…just click on the shoe below!
Fact: Accessories are to an outfit what icing is to a cake. Sure the cake by itself is delicious but it isn’t complete without icing. Just as your outfit isn’t complete without accessories.
My first wardrobe essential post was the pencil skirt and today it’s all about the statement necklace. A statement necklace is large and bold. It serves many purposes and is a must have in every woman’s wardrobe. It can dress up your jeans and t-shirt (as shown in my pastel pink outfit post and below), refresh you LBD, and allow you to quickly go from a day to night look.
Your statement necklace can be expensive or very inexpensive. They both look great and will get the job done. Below is an assortment of statement necklaces to fit any budget.

Something edgy of course!

I typically like to get somewhat into “character” when I go to a concert by wearing an outfit inspired by the artist. This Matrix look, as I like to call it, was definitely inspired by the Bad Gal Ri Ri. I love Rihanna’s swag! When I think of her style I think of edgy, sexy, cool, laid back, and definitely trend setting.
I had such a good time at the concert with these lovely ladies. We dance and sang our little hearts out. Oh and how fab do they look in their edgy and sexy dresses?!
Rihanna’s stage was simple. Her performance was very chill and down to earth. Even though we were at the Staples Center, which is pretty large, it felt very intimate….And clearly I was channeling my inner bad gal because Rihanna also wore thigh high boots!
And as always, she looked uh-mazing and super sexy! I expected nothing less from her.
