inspiration dispenser.
a peek into my fall fancies: diminished hues are blazing on jackets, broad rimmed hats are topping off attitude, and cameras focus in front of white tanks and organically fitted jeans. laughter explodes and kisses are a sultry red.
hair is rich AND natural. sheer is the new cotton. eyes are innocent and lips are courageous.
bleached by summer.
redefine sporty by matching your hair to your shorts and scribbling your feelings on a toned down sweat shirt. for makeup: nix the inky black and turn the smoky eye warm with golds and browns.
summer goal: antithesis. matchy matchy goes against all formulas of learning and fashion. it breeds conformity, (IN OTHER WORDS) clinging to safety. don't deprive yourself of having a spicy summer by refusing to engage in something unfamiliar. plant yourself in a different culture. dye your hair red--or your lips. read books. learn sports. take pictures. eat sushi. grow your own veggies.
into the wild.
these flat booties are the perfect transition into the fall season. do yourself a favor and buy your feet a present. according to credible statistics (or maybe just my experience), leopard prints are immune to buyer's remorse. I promise.
further reference: feline is not a trend, it's a classic, which means it will never go out of style.
sidekick.
a confidant triggers confidence in taking fashionable ventures. a soul sister makes the plunge to sport a turban way less questionable, and the clash of ten trends in one friendship seems beautiful.
a friendship lies where broken hearts are mended and feelings are worn on tees, where blonde and brunette are compliments, where lace and horizontal stripes are the perfect fit, where granny socks and oxfords look cute, and where black and white meeting florals is the answer, not a question.
the only time geometry is fun.
lifeSTYLE.
style is the way you eat, work, and play.
it's time to get serious about what we put in our bodies. did you know our gut is classified as our second brain? it contains 95% of the serotonin in our body. therefore, chowing down not only controls your weight, it dictates your mental functions, your levels of depression, your hormones, and all aspects of your appearance.
attack your trouble areas with food. my favorite foods and tips to help you feel and look your best:
bounce back after a workout: quinoa: a complete protein
balance the pH of your skin and fight acne: carrots
my favorite snack: hard boiled eggs and red peppers
for fuller, healthier hair: lean meats and whole grains
get a golden glow: half a sweet potato a day
settle your nerves with oatmeal
best yogurt: fage 0% greek yogurt
indulgence: chocolate. the darker the better.
green tea: goji berry green tea from The Cultured Cup: packed with antioxidants and flavor.
these foods may sound unappealing, but i challenge you to replace the high levels of corn syrup and processed sugar that hide in entrees that are not classified as sweets, and soon your body will crave what is healthy.
the KEY: don't deprive yourself of your favorites, just make them treats instead of regulars. train your body to crave true nutrients. the guarantee: your body will thank you and your confidence will soar.
