Feeling Blue?

September 22, 2010

For all my beauty buffs, there seems to be a major case of the blues sweeping the makeup scene. After attending several beauty-related events, varying shades of blue kept popping up on various palettes. From midnight blue eye shadows to royal blue nail polishes, blue is definitely the fresh “it” color for fall. If you’re hesitant to try the trend on your eyes, give it a go on your nails for a less-shocking style.


Maybelline Eyeshadow Trio in ‘Blue Slate’ available at www.ulta.com for $5.39


Butter London Nail Polish in ‘Blue Smoke’ available at www.dermadoctor.com for $14


Estee Lauder Automatic Duo Pencil in ‘Hyacinth Sky’ available at www.macys.com for $23.50


MAC in the Groove Mineralized Shadow in ‘Blue My Mind’ available at www.sephora.com for $19.50

Smashbox Jet-set Waterproof Liner in ‘Navy’ available at www.beauty.com for $22

Will you partake in this fall beauty forecast?

    I have already… I was wearing it for the summer. I do think it’s all about finding a shade, but a blue eyeliner is certainly something any woman can wear!

    This is good news because I’ve been doing blue eye shadow since Thanksgiving. It really makes my eyes pop!

    Blues are certainly a trend and look really great on ebony skin tones. A shade I think you will love is Makeup Forever’s Aqua Cream in Intense Blue. Try it. 🙂

Feeling Blue?

March 26, 2008

Who doesn’t love a great pair of jeans? With spring finally here, it’s time to take a look at the denim must-haves for the season. The great thing about jeans is that they’re durable and can be easily dressed up or down with tops or accessories. This season there’s something for everybody — skinny, cropped, flare, wide-leg, boot cut and capris are all in.

The latest trend is the return of the early-90s light, faded-blue hue! If you like to stand out in a crowd or have a hard time finding the perfect fit, check out Indi Denim, where you can customize your jeans online! From rinses to pocket designs, this site allows you to create your ideal jeans with the click of the keyboard!

We know that fashion is always changing, but one thing’s for sure — the denim jean is a timeless American staple that will always be in style.

What’s your favorite denim/jean look?

Here are my picks for this season:


7 For All Man Kind available at www.macys.com for $198


Gap Long & Lean Jeans available at www.gap.com for $48


Juicy Couture Super Wide Leg Denim Trouser available at www.shopbop.com for $188


J Brand 18-inch Boot Leg Ink Jeans available at www.ravinstyle.com for $158

    Love love love those Gap Jeans and the Kenneth Cole Jeans. I’ve noticed that the Gap really accommodates for us taller ladies. Sometimes it is really hard finding a nice pair of jeans that hit below the ankles… and aren’t cropped.

    Is it just me, or does it seem like the J Brand pair of jeans fit the model strangely in that picture?

    BGG, I absolutely LOVE all things denim! My favorite is the Long & Lean Gap jean (boot cut)! I also have a pair of DKNY jeans that are a show stopper. And I have to agree with Miss Mika…in fact all those models look strange. They are just too tiny. Jeans look best when filled with girl stuff…like hips and booty! HA!

    Who doesn’t love a great pair of jeans?! My favorite is any boot-cut or wide leg. I got a little nervous when they brought the straight leg jean back. Whew! I was too happy that the boot-cut and wide leg held on! We curvy girls need something to balance us out! 🙂

    i love all the jeans you picked! i prefer boot cut or straight leg jeans. ive never really been able to make capris look right. ive always feel like you should be kinda tall to wear those.

    I love blue jeans – would wear them every day if I could! My faves right now are my trouser jeans. I will always love boot cut jeans and have no intentions of jumping on the skinny jean bandwagon! I’m going to try GAP jeans again – that is a hit or miss brand for me, but I like the pair you chose.

    Denim!!!! I’m on my way to Nordstom!! I love the Citizens of Humanity. I also love the Paige Denim wide leg.
    Most of all your choices of jeans are perfect for us with some hips!

    Thanks for the Jeans picks. I don’t have the hips for a light wash. I’m a dark slight flare girl over here. I wish I could find some skinny jeans that actually fit everywhere. I’m on a quest.

    I also love love love demin trousers! But I’ve only been able to get 2 pairs that look great on me. I can wear jeans that aren’t blue to work (I know it’s such a crazy dress code they created) So i’m always on a hunt for black demin! I’m thinking of getting into colored demin just so that I can wear them to work. I just have to get comfortable with the idea of wearing them!
