Are you ready for the exclusive…
Wondering how you can pull off this color pop? Try the following ideas:
Whether it’s your coat or your bottoms that are in a vibrant print or a neon hue, keep the rest of your separates in neutral shades or toned down versions of the main colour to create balance in your ensemble. Perhaps one of the easier garments to incorporate that brightness is a blouse, tee, or any other top of your choice. As the editors of Lyst have noted in their collection of tops there are a myriad of silhouettes to choose from that will spice up your capsule wardrobe.
Go For Colorful Accessories
Wear A Bold Lip Or Bright Nails
It’s not just the accessories that qualify as the finishing touches of a look. Makeup, hair and nails can carry just as much weight as a piece of jewelry, so if you want a color accent but don’t feel like wearing a yellow hat or pink pumps, Glam Radar suggests you add some pizzazz to your appearance with a bold red lip or neon nails. Even burgundy lipstick will look absolutely stunning in an all-black outfit, as non-highlighter shades will instantly look brighter against neutral tones.

Who doesn't love a day of being pampered?! On a wet, rainy and semi humid air day in the city I stopped over at the Pierre Michel Salon for the Beauty & the Braid event. I'm at the mercy of the weather forecast for hair styles so when summer finally comes and the NYC air thick is full and of humidity having a braided hair style keeps my hair looking like I put some effort into it and allows me to be event ready at a moments notice! If you haven't been to the Pierre Michel Salon, its a beautiful salon with an accommodating staff there to make you feel at ease. This was my second appointment at the salon, my first trip I got deep moisturizing hair mask (by moroccan oil, a color rinse (demi-permenat hair color) and a glossing treatment. I'm not a fan of the maintenance needed for permanent hair color so this was perfect for me and looked amazing (I really should do it again)!
Back to the braids, below are some pics of my hair and some of the other girls who had different gorgeous styles all done by Jerome Lordet! As a special treat I also got my make up done by Stacey Menzer (Stay Glam Beauty). She did a wonderful job and really took my concerns and questions seriously. I rarely wear foundation because my pores get blocked really easily, so she used a nice water based primer that would protect my skin and put on a very light coverage for a natural foundation look. For the dramatic eye she used some of my top color choices and a rich nude tone for my lips. I got so many compliments that I decided to make plans with a friend to make the most of the evening!
FYI ladies for $75, get a wash, blow dry and braid style at Pierre Michel!

Like most, I crave a glowing complexion, shiny healthy hair, nail color that lasts and lips that are moisturized yet enticing. Here are some of my favs!

I'm constantly asked by friends and family for recommendations so I'm finally putting my Polyvore account to use! Feel free to let me know some of your favs in the comment box :)
I might not be in the majority when I say this but…summer is not my favorite season (yeah, I said it)! Its hot, humid and transforms makeup and hair maintenance into a serious project. Especially here in NYC where if you ride the subway, be prepared to experience what that turkey went through on Thanksgiving! To battle this dilemma I decided to try out NYX's new warm weather make-up expertly made to combat the heat & humidity. My fav from the collection would have to be the lip gloss they smell delicious and the colors pop! There are no losers each product works as planned and keeps me looking fly without constantly reapplying!

Oh la la nothing beat a hot red lip to set your look on fire. Easier said than done...you have to make sure the red is the right hue for you, doesn't bleed and has enough moisture to keep your lips look soft and supple. Helmut Red has all of these features for you, not to mention I've see the same shade on pale, medium & dark and somehow it seems to transcend across all beautifully. To see for myself I decided to spice up my look with a sexy red lip last night. No fading, bleeding and I got so many compliments! To heat up your look your simply go to the House of Exposure website.
No matter what you're doing your style probably needs to work overtime. I'm still trying to finalize my plans, but I already know its going to be a day to night affair. Forecast is hot & sunny I will be prepared with water, sunscreen lip gloss & a smile. Here are some products that I love and use regularly to help me look my best…
