Fallarizing

We all have favorite seasonal pieces that we wish could be worn year-round. Well, I'm no exception to the rule. I can't get away with fallarizing with every piece but certain things just work well. Okay, I know you're wondering - "What is Fallarizing?". Well besides one of my made-up words like fabulatastic or heartastroke it is the act of making summer/spring clothing fall worthy.  The easiest way to do this is by adding a cardigan, pair of boots or blazer to the look. However this doesnt always workout. The fabric has to be season appropriate, the textures have to match and it simply cant look awkward. So here's a great example (in my opinion) of Fallarizing...try it out!

Romper - Fashion to Figure
Sweater - Kholes

A Little Goth Never Hurt Anyone-Continued....

Soooooo everything in my world right now (or at least my favorite things) are Goth approved!  Nails, clothes, hair and now makeup!  I recently picked up "Black Cherry" lipstick by Milani and I'm in love.  I was concerned about how it would look on me considering it's black cherry in color and well...I'm black cherry in color but it actually looks great.  I'm just getting into Milani cosmetics and so far I'm a fan.  I've always been a bit boojie when it comes to makeup...rocking primarily Mac and Mary Kay but those don't fancy my pockets the same as Milani.  Granted I'm still quite boojie when it comes to my foundation and mascara but I'm loving my new lip colors.  Anyway, I think "Black Cherry" is a great color for ladies of all skin tones and a great addition for the fall.  Right now, CVS is running a BOGO Milani Cosmetics sale.  By one Milani product, get the second one half off.  So I got both "Black Cherry" and "Sweet Nectar" for only $9.43.  Don't you just love a good bargain!!  I haven't tried "Sweet Nectar" yet...but when I do I'll let you know.

Happy Tuesday!

Favorite Things

My newest obsession ... I'm positively  smitten over LA Colors "NP 412".  Typically, black is not my color.  I'm more of a purple, pink, red kind of girl.  Yes, I know what you're thinking....BORING!  Hence why I'm trying to mix it up a bit.  On to my new motto....adding a little Goth never hurt anyone.  :)

The Truth Doesn't Hurt

Anyone who truly knows me can testify that I am not one for sugar coating. I just don't believe in it because my reality is to tell it like it is. The truth, in my opinion, is always  the best option. I might change my tone of voice but words remain. This post might seem a bit out of character for me but I choose to write about what I care about. Sugar coating is like diabetes, it does nothing for the mind, body or soul of either party. You can always be tactful even if the news is harsh. That's what I practice for others and myself.

Happy Weekend - How's this for truth😜
