Beauty Quickie: Sorry to burst any beauty bubbles but those labels on those products you love may not do as advertised. It is a sad reality, but there are some beauty labels that display false information. Protect yourself by relying on the old adage, “If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.” Lookout for products that promise all-day protection or results instantaneously.

A fashion classic that never seems to go out of style is white couture. It’s clean, modern and when done correctly can be quite enchanting. White is just not for the Big Day aka weddings and do not believe in the myth that it can be worn only during a certain part of the year. White is a more refined tint but its subtlety can be enhanced through elaborate and intricate design. Feathers, prints, shimmer and sheer cut-outs all can add a more multifaceted angle to this shade without cheapening the overall effect. So then, if you are looking to change things up a bit with your wardrobe consider adding a few pieces in the shade of white.

Here is a prime example of chic done easy to the breezy. For a modern spring look pair a tailored jacket with capri pants and strappy heels. Comfort and sophistication is not hard to achieve making this look essential for the lady constantly on the move. Scared that you might look too stuffy? Worry not, that is where your hair comes into play. Keep the look more fresh and youthful by wearing a messy up-do. Remember everything does not have to be perfect in order for an ensemble to be simply perfection.
Forget the florals what’s really making fashion tongues wag is skin. Skin is always in but seems to be escalating to new heights. It is not enough to have a plunging neckline or high split skirt. Now it is all about sheer detailing to draw eyes in towards the physique. If we looked like model Cindy Bruna (pictured) we’d probably rock it too.

She’s been deemed the new face of beauty and it is not hard to see why! Gorgeous actress Lupita Nyong’o stars in Lancome’s 2015 spring/summer ad campaign which was styled by Julia Von Boehm. Lupita is joined in the ad campaign by fellow actresses Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz. Photography for the shoot was lensed by Mert and Marcus.
Be a dancing queen or solid gold Soul Train dancer this summer because the 70’s are back baby! If you have laid fashion eyes on the ad campaign for the S/S 2015 Emilio Pucci collection you no doubt observed the ad’s 70’s vibe. Not quite sure how to make the retro look work for you? Think boho-chic and a very free-spirited relaxed styling of your ensembles. Moreover, a quick look at the Emilio Pucci runway show should help get you started.
Hair Notes: The slight waves worn by models is giving us life baby! The easy, breezing and bouncy hairdo is the perfect hairstyle for this summer whether day or night.
In an instagram world where brows must be the epitome of perfection, Prada chose to go a little different route. Prada’s beauty look for spring/summer 2015 incorporated the disheveled brow. This unkempt look had emphasis more on just the outline of the brow instead of the full on cha-bang. The disheveled brow is like the beauty nod to the messy, bed-head look proving that you don’t always have to be absolutely perfect to be considered beautiful.

Fashion is truly an art and can convey strong emotions and the beauty behind the simplest or most intricate design. Wanted magazine’s editorial for June 2015 is a masterpiece of glamour and sophistication. Lucyanne Botham who did both the hair and makeup for the models created drama with bold makeup shades and the use of unusual accessories. The editorial was lensed by photographer Kevin Macintosh while in South Africa.
Ah…the good ol’ red carpet… the place where fashion dreams and moments go to live and sometimes die fatally. This year among the ladies black seemed to be a common theme and denominator. Also, playing into the equation was skin… cut-out dresses, mid-riff tops and plunging necklines all did their part to showcase some sex appeal. Who was your favorite dressed celebrity of the night?
