May Style Tip: We are at the beginning of the wedding season and finding that perfect look and fit is what we all want. Whether you are a guest, or in the actual wedding party, this can be a daunting task. I just have to ask this question to all brides and grooms: “since when do you decide what your parents wear?” I hear people all day long say: “I know my job: show up, shut up and wear beige.” My take is that parents should look their best and stand out in age-appropriate, sexy and stylish outfits. A million photos will be taken, so how cool would it be to look back on your special day and be reminded of how beautiful your parents looked too? We all know the bride is going to be hot no matter what, but she needs to remember she is standing on the beauty shoulders of the woman that came before her. I do wish brides and grooms would celebrate their parents “good lookingness” (new word), especially if they have great style already.
What is the hot trend for spring? Florals are rocking the racks like its 1990! So many of the same styles have come full circle this season as well. Long pleated skirts with flower power paired with a cropped denim jacket and Ray Bans with a designer sneaker. Some of my fellow Stelly’s grads will be saying when reading this: “OMG we invented that look.” True, but like all fashion, it’s back. Be brave with your florals and remember they attract butterflies! Also true.
If I was to pick a label, any label, which would you direct me to? Holy Halston, with everything from glorious ready-to-wear street style to evening glamour, is one of my top three. This price point is not out of sight and the sale rack frequently looks as good as the new arrivals. It’s not just about the amazing cut: it’s the fabric choices and size range that make this appealing to a large audience of fashionistas. Get your online shop on people!
Are tassels still on trend? The tassel is killing it as a top trend for this season. Not only are we seeing it in leather, gracing shoes and handbags, but the tassel earring is “the” hot accessory. The bold expression is my pick with tri colours, gold tiered, sweeping the top of the collar bone. This look is also a fun craft to create your own tassel out of repurposed material you already own. This playful fringe will add swag to any look from denim to cocktail.
I’ve noticed my skin has a few broken blood capillaries. What can I do to repair or hide them? This does happen to skin that is pale by nature and with a pink undertone. Usually the Celtic and Scandinavian ancestry is predisposed to skin conditions such as rosacea, broken blood capillaries and sun spots. There are skin specialists that laser these conditions. It feels much like an elastic flicking on your skin. The benefits of this treatment way outdo the five seconds of discomfort. I would go to a few sites and “Yelp” to read the reviews of past clients. One treatment can cost around $200.
