Golden Girls

Most recently I have a new obsession with gold and bronze.. it just screams goddess. If you'd rather turn heads then watch them turn away, I suggest you go for these gold medal-worthy styles.

I've never really gotten behind Tom's, but this golden style is different for the brand and something I could see myself wearing with a pair of jeans. The label is casual, and the gold brings a little extra to the table.

Who says bronze is limited to clothing? This makeup look is stunning. The hair color is phenomenal along with the matching skin tone. These two elements really make her blue eyes pop, almost like they are seeing right through you. The more animalistic, the better. Looking fierce, Natalia.

The gold wrap dress literally makes you look like a trophy wife. It is extremely flattering with the right body type, and is guaranteed to please. I wish I had somewhere fancy to wear one of these dresses so that I could hang one in my closet. Heck, I like this style so much it can sleep in my bed!

A shimmering gold shirt is the perfect way to grab attention. Dress it up with white bottoms and heals or make it casual with skinny jeans and flats. Go for long cascading waves and volume pulled half up or leave all the way down.

The layered golden accessories are both sweet and feminine. Too many bracelets can get overwhelming, but this is just enough. All should vary in some way so that they don't look like gold is taking over your arm. Have fun with the messages if you wish; it's always fun to give something custom engraved to your sister or best friend

Last but not least, a golden skirt. What I love about a signature skirt is that it stands apart from all the plain black skirt at a party. People usually go for the fancy top (I am guilty of this myself) and never plan an outfit around the bottoms. But if you have nice legs and a nice butt, it draws the attention down and shows you have confidence in your body. Give it a try!

Turquoise: The Fairest of Them All

I hereby declare turquoise as my favorite color! But only when done right. Here are some of my favorite selections that make me proud to say my birthstone is aquamarine. 

Wrist Candy

Yes please! I myself have a Fossil watch, and they are my brand for watches particularly because of the diamonds around the frame. It really adds a touch of girliness and helps your wrist shine bright. Gold or white are best with turquoise, because they both add a beautiful contrast and femininity to the color.  

Feathered Friends

These feathers ooze pure style. The designs are unique and make a statement that you aren't afraid to try something new. Make sure you show them off with pulled back hair! I've had my eye on these two pieces ever since I stumbled upon them on Pinterest.

Shoe Fetish

You can either go sexy or stylish. The heals work wonders with a little black dress, since they give a pop of style and show you know you're hot. The flats are wonderful during the summer time with white shorts and a flowy top. This may be one time you don't want a man to look into your eyes... but down at your feet!

Desdressed

Have a shower you need to attend? Maybe a wedding? These styles are both classy and romantic. Maybe you'll catch the handsome best man's eye as the bride and groom kiss, but more likely you'll be doing the sprinkler on the dance floor when he laughs at your candidness. If he doesn't ask for a dance, he's probably gay.

Neckrophelia

My title may be creepy, but these inanimate objects are still sexy. You could wear the stoned statement necklace to show you're fashionable or wear the teardrop stone to draw attention below the neckline. Whichever the case, I approve.

Top of the Food Chain

If you can pull off the bandeau, make sure you wear tastefully. Please DO NOT wear with low cut jeans and a thong, you are not Madonna, but you may be a stripper. This can be worn under a lace top,  a low cut dress, or with a high wasted skirt. On the right, this jacket proves that all white with a pop of color is just what the doctor ordered. It looks sleek, clean, and oh so lovely.

Ring in the New Year

A stone on any finger can really show that you are up-to-date on fashion. This current trend works well with a regular outfit or for a fancy gathering. One of my favorite things about jewelry is that each piece can be so versatile and bring your outfit from okay to oh my.

Earational

When wearing turquoise earrings, the bigger the better (but please not colossal.) When the wind blows your hair to the side and reveals the gems underneath, he'll wonder what other gems you're hiding underneath. These especially work well with other colors such as salmon, and can bring something unique to bold colors.

10 Ways to Improve Your Look

Let's face it people: feeling unappealing is well, unappealing. I don't care how profound you may be; nobody wants to be the gremlin in the corner! Sometimes the most important realization is that something needs to change. Whether you fell into the wrong end of the gene pool or aren't yet convinced you're hot, there are ten simple and easy changes you can make to improve the way you look. 


1. Laugh a little!
Why so serious? By smiling and bringing more laughter into your daily life, you will not only seem more approachable, but perk up your insides no matter how dark they may seem. Laughing is proven to make you happier and healthier and will liven your spirits as well as others. But don't fret: a snicker is still appropriate for your colleague's corny jokes.
2. Tan tan tan.

I don't care how pale the Cullen's are; you are not one of them and therefore cannot pull of the hundred-year-old vampire schtick. Go to the beach, get a spray tan, or even put on some tinted moisturizer! You'd be surprised how much a little color can work in your favor. A sun-kissed glow may turn into a just-kissed glow.
3. Dress to impress.

This is actually the name of my Pinterest board for fashion. Aim to dazzle others every morning! I love the quote "dress everyday like you're going to see your worst enemy." Find your style and go with it! It takes ten seconds for others to form a first impression of you, and if that person is a slow walker, that may all they be in ten seconds. What you wear speaks volumes about your personality so make that voice loud and proud!
4. Makeup for a makeover.

Enhance the features on your face! Makeup really can hide flaws and accentuate anything that you wish. Are you pale? Add bronzer. Small eyes? Apply mascara and liner. Acne? Put on concealer. It really can be that easy. First you must find what works best with your coloring and learn how to properly apply makeup. You never want to cake on makeup and end up like a circus clown. Visit your local Sephora and consult a free makeup artist to see what colors, methods, and brands work best. 
5. Seek out a seductive scent.

Please for the sake of your ego, never wreak of body odor. Shower 5-6 days a week, and always after you sweat. Apply deodorant and spritz on your favorite perfume! Scent can be insanely attractive and inversely extremely repulsive. There's a reason why people roll down the windows when someone farts! Walk through your local Macy's and try out any of the tester perfumes to find which appeals most to you. Remember that too much of a good thing can turn sour so don't overdo it. If you can be smelt in the other room, you've gone too far.
6. The world is your runway.

Strut in like you own the room. Keep your shoulders back, head up, and have a straight back. Don't overdo it otherwise you will look uncomfortable, but slouching can be a major turnoff. You will look for feminine and appear slimmer. Don't be afraid to add a little hip to your walk, but keep it appropriate. Rest your arms by your side, and hopefully your crush will be there too!
7. Long hair, don't care!

This most definitely includes kept up eyebrows, which are incidentally one of my biggest pet peeves. Also make sure you don't have hairy legs, because it's both awkward and embarrassing when someone notices or feels spiky hairs. With hairstyles, figure out what works best with your both your coloring and face shape. Keep in mind the texture of your hair. Since I have thin hair, I can't wear my hair too long. If you have a large forehead, try out bangs. It can also be complimentary to add highlights! Consult your hairdresser if you aren't sure what will work for you.
8. Speak, don't just talk.

Leave the expletives at home! F bombs are hardly ever attractive. Swears are both negative and a nasty habit. It is also important to sound somewhat eloquent. This doesn't mean sticking your head into a thesaurus: try to train yourself to leave out "like, really?" and the ever popular "um". You will sound more intelligent and will be received more suitably.
9. Confidence: success in an attitude.
Inner beauty truly does shine through. If you don't believe you are great, why should anyone else? Know that you deserve the best, and don't be afraid to assert who you really are. "Those who mind don't matter, and those who mind don't matter" is a wonderful mantra. Have faith that everything will work out the way it's meant to, and anyone who puts you down doesn't deserve to be a part of your life. Hold on to your inner strength and you'll be unstoppable!
10. Show off that body you got!
Embrace your body. If you are plus-size, find clothes that flatter your body. If you are flat as a board, get yourself a push-up bra. Eat healthy and you will acquire a certain glowing. Get off your butt and go to the gym! If you aren't a serial exercises, try classes like Zumba or kickboxing. Not only will you get toned, but will have a blast!
