New Look New You

I want this blog to be interesting and helpful.. So we are going to start small.. If you have no idea how to update your style and you don't have much money to do so then these are the tips for you..

Start with accessories.. The most important accessory you have is your face.. What can I say.. You should be taking care of your skin first.. Very important.. But the hot word for the spring/summer is Dewy.. You'll need a good bright cheek color that makes your cheeks glow.. You'll need a good cream highlighter that you can use on your high cheek bone, eyes, nose and temples.. It is versatile product so worth the money.. and of course a great lip color.. Bright or Nude.. Just keep the glow.. no matte this spring. Don't be afraid to try something new..

If nobody has complimented you on your hair style in the last two months then you need a new style or color.. If you have had the same style for more then 2 years then you need to visit your stylist.. The fastest way to update yourself is with a new cut.. If you pay $10 for your cut then I'm sorry, but you have a $10 style.. You might need to spend a little bit more on your haircut to get a better style.. If it is a good cut you can also go longer in between cuts because it will grow out into another cute style. Also don't be afraid of color.. You can always change it at your next appointment. Look in magazines and online to find a cut and color that would flatter you shape face. Take it to your stylist, but don't be upset if she can't completely copy it.. Remember your hair texture maybe different then the girl in the photo.. Make the style your own anyway.. We don't all want to be the same.. Be different..

A great accessory can make a bland outfit look stylish, or a cheap outfit look a little more high end.. What's in. Scarves and flowers and of course shoes.. Since spring is just around the corner go with a thin light and bright colored scarf. You want it to be thin because you don't want to get too hot.. It can be long or short and brightly colored.. Don't be afraid to go out of the box.. It doesn't have to be matchy matchy.. Just in the family of what your wearing..

You know the cute flower and ribbon hair accessories for your daughters or for little girls hair.. You can take them and clip them to the lapel of your jacket or corner of your collared shirt and they give you a little something special.. If you are feeling even more brave put it in the side of your hair.. Don't laugh.. I've seen it all over (runway and internet)

Shoes.. Well the Gladiator Style heals are still in.. Go for a nice silver, gold, or nude color for spring. You can really find them affordable online.. You just have to be willing to search in weird places.. Heals are an essential.. If you are not use to wearing heals, today is the day to start.. Also find a great low heal or wedge to wear out to the grocery store or shopping.. That is a great way to dress up a not so dressy outfit.. Sneakers are for working out. So are sweat suits.. I can't even talk about them.

Bags.. Invest in a one good bag.. You don't need a bag for every outfit.. Just one good one.. Even if you save for a year to get one.. Don't be afraid to ebay your big purchase.. I have sold good bags online for cheap.. so I know you can do it. If you are just starting your collection go neutral at first. Since we are going into spring.. go for pastels, tans, whites.. If your bold then go for a pattern.. but don't feel like it has to match everything you own to use it with every outfit.. Those days are over.. Thanks goodness..

I think this is a good start.. The key is don't be afraid of change. Look for accessories in lots of places.. They can be inexpensive and add huge style to your all over look.
