The Drawing Board: Sexy Boho Chic

Trend Setter: Beyonce, Blonde and Beautiful

Beyonce has been on a journey to the wonderful world of blonde for years and finally she has arrived and she looks amazing! Her subtle highlights against her golden/neutral skin tone gives a natural appearance and gives her audience a chance to adjust to her change!!! Starting in about 2003 Beyonce began going lighter and lighter with her hair color. Sandy blonde looks so pretty on her and compliments her skin tone very well!!! With the way stars explore looks; no one should be afraid to explore!!!

Great Sales: Coach

Also the purses are styled so that they are both functional and stylish which makes the brands’ leather goods timeless!!!

Trends 2013: InStyle January Issue

Eyes: Vibrant Blue Eyes
Blue eyeshadow has been frequented because most woman can wear it and its great day or night for work or play!!! If you want a more subtle and clean look choose a matte blue or a light blue with little to no shimmer. Shade in blue eyeshadow from lash to crease with a rounded brush. Use a blender brush to blend color into the crease! To open eyes add either light frosty pink or silver to the inner corner of the eye and blend lightly. This trend can definitely last well into the summer. For a clean look I suggest a semi nude lipstick or gloss!

Nails: Opaque White Nails
Spring is back and so are white manicures! I think that’s about it. But a great tip in this issue discussed the fact that rounded nails look softer than the bold square nail!

Accessory: Head Scarves
The 1960’s boho-chic look is back! Pull hair into an untidy bun or ponytail and wrap a light frabic around your head. This style never goes out of style especially in southern states where it’s extremely humid and hot! To save a little money visit a fabric stores’ clearance section and choose your own colors and patterns to form your new head scarf. Choose prints that are primarily brown, red, black, green or yellow! This will ensure that your head scarf will match most items in your wardrobe!

Hair: Updo Knots and Loops
Grab your favorite mousse or hardening spray because this style requires a bit of product muscle to stay put. The style is in keeping with the crisp clean look for the spring season. It is well suited for work or a cocktail party! It’s not practical for everyday so only work this look for special occasions!!!

Lips: Electric Red
This red is unlike the deep, rich red from fall. It’s bright and has more orange undertones instead brown or violet. It’s sassy to say the least and is sure to turn heads. Make sure to lightly fill eyebrows to add a little depth to the electric red lip! If this look isn’t going to be worn daily, purchase a lip pencil in the shade that you love. It’s a cheaper way to “sassy up” your make up bag!
