8 Looks that will have you believing that Beige is the new black

This October as the chill sets in and you start pulling out your warm and cozy items; Think of Beige as the new black! Same as black it is a neutral and will pair well with any other colored item. Layering beige and neutrals can make you look so much more refined and expensive than just throwing on your blacks.

Here are a few of my favorite beige looks for this season...

1. This lovely Coat Over Dress look which is finished with a warm beanie. Reminding us a little of Leighton Meester in gossip girl as Blair Waldorf.

2. These awesome Denim Leather Jeans in a gold-beige color! Ware them with layers of soft textures to make them look effortlessly cool.

10 Red Hair Colors for Autumn

Ok yes! lets talk red! You know how they say there is a shade of red lipstick for every complexion? Well I believe there is a red hair color for every girl...

Red can be a dynamic color and can give you the edge you looking for, or choose a different shade and it can be soft, romantic and beautiful too.

Here are some of the red hair colors to look for this Autumn...

1. Copper Red! A warm tone shade for warm tone complexions. It looks very natural and still gives you that stand out look.

Wedding Guest Outfit

 We have a September family wedding and this is my outfit...

I decided to go with Metallic Colors and sparkles wearing this dress from BSB fashion. In this look I am trying to ad sparkle on sparkle with a sequenced belt and long oversized earrings with a metallic finish to go with the dress.


For makeup, I did not want to go overboard as the outfit is loud enough. Also keeping the shoes simple with black suede pumps. Trying always to wear comfy shoes to ensure I can enjoy the dance floor. The ankle braces are not really part of the outfit as I just never take them off :P

Silver and black tones to define the eyes and a more natural tone lipstick.


For my hair I straightened it with a straightening iron and used a few bobby pins to make a simple messy half-up due.

8.1 Box Hair Color - Palette

 Hi! if you read my 10 ways to Welcome September post then you know that Having my hair pampered and renewed was coming up soon.

My basic hair goals this time was to remove any yellow tones that developed over the summer time and cut away any split and damaged ends.

I decided to do this at home and used store bought boxed color. I chose Palette 8.1 Intensive Color Cream and used two boxes for my hair length. Note: if your hair is any longer then mine in the bellow photo then you will defiantly need a 3rd box.


 
This was super easy to apply and I just followed the instructions as on the leaflet inside the box. After about 30 min I rinsed and dried to see the result and here it is...

After changing the color that i was super happy with! :) It is not a night to day difference, but it made my hair all more uniform from root to ends and did remove a lot of the yellow. I will probably use this color again!

I decided to do some snipping too. Obviously not on my own, but with the help of my hubby who knows what he is doing!


From the look on my son's face, you can tell he approves :)

A Jacket to Die for

There are certain pieces that when you put them on, they make you feel empowered and great about yourself... This has always been true for me when it comes to a great jacket!

I feel like the right jacket can transform any outfit from blah to awe. With September around the corner, it is the perfect time to shop for a new in-between season jacket. I am absolutely obsessed with this embroidered faux leather jacket...

Press on image to find out where to buy it!

If you have not realized it up to now, I am in love with most things floral or with a flower detail especially when done with style and great design. I feel like these details of embroidered flowers and metallic studs give it an Edgy but Boho feeling that I relate to and love.


I think that the black would be perfect for the fall-autumn season and the cream color perfect for the spring. Nevertheless they are both stunning and I have not yet made up my mind which I love more...

Beautiful #Brunette


Nothing more seductive than luscious brown hair. If you are a natural Brunette or thinking of coloring your hair there are so many rich tones of brown to choose from. Another win win about going brown is that it is a fairly easy color to maintain and less expensive if you happen to be on a budget.

Jacket centerpiece

Want to elevate your outfit? All you need is an eye catching Jacket to make the difference... Jean Jacket, leather Jacket or sequenced Jacket can add texture, color and character to your look. Why even mention Jackets when the sun is getting hotter and all you want to do is live in your bikini? Because Jackets tend to be pricey items, but taking advantage of the hot season when the price of Jackets go down, you might be lucky enough to find some striking peaces on sale...





BohoBeauty Style

Freedom, Inspiration, Natural Beauty all comes together with the care free Gypsy look.
Beautiful Boho heart.

Most popular Hair trend 2017

This hair trend is booming and seems like it will be the next best thing for a long time to come. With the perfect combination of brown and blonde hair we have come to love the Bronde look. It is also a great way to transition from brown hair to eventually going blonde without that awkward in-between stage.
