Wedding Wednesday: The Best In Bridal Beauty

"The secret to a wearable look? “Your bridal makeup should enhance your features so you look like yourself—at your most beautiful,” says Bobbi Brown.

Beauty Stylist Alex Ross Shares Make Up Tips 

ALEX ROSS: "I really love creating a classic look. Being able to help someone customize her own unique take on ‘timeless’, on one of the happiest days in her life, makes doing bridal makeup so much fun!"

He also states that "Part of his look is giving a multi-dimensional cheek. I don’t think we have a perfect look unless we use at least 3 blushes. Also, what helps during the winter months is a traditional red lip. It can be tricky to maintain, but with a good lip liner, a semi-matte/cream lipstick, powder and a straw, you can have a great lip that will last for a few hours!" Read the rest of the article at

Wedding Wednesday: Make It An Etsy Kind Of Day

Tuesday Trend: The New Bohemian

Some are calling this Summer, "The Summer Of Love." Designers have channeled the seventies again, and were in a Bohemian mood when designing this season's romantic styles.  They have a free spirit with lots of movement, pretty prints, feminine florals, peek a boo shoulders, flared or wide legs and uneven hems.  I found a few things that I love. What about you?
