Whoever said being pale is in… OBVIOUSLY didn’t know who they were talking to?!?

I’m sorry girls.. unless you are over 5 10 and drop dead beautiful to the point where you should be on a runway, stick to self tanner and bronzer….. Also staying away from the sun and using these methods will decrease your risk of skin cancer!

Here are a couple of my beauty secrets that my friends & I LIVE BY…

Best self tanner around: TAN TOWEL. Leaves no streaks and def doesn’t leave you looking orange.  You can buy the towels or the spray.  I like using the spray before I go to bed twice a week (you wake up looking like you got a full day of sun)!

Tan Towel can be a little pricey so I advise you to buy this product on-line/on sale.  www.hsn.com, is having a huge sale on Tan Towel right now.

My absolute favorite product is: BENEFIT’s TALK TO THE TAN! Talk to the tan is a tinted lotion that’s formulated to give you an instant, long-wearing glow with out the hassle or semi-permanence of a self tanner. This lotion promises instant, buildable color that won’t streak and wont come off till you wash your face!  ***(girls in college, if you sleep out at a guys dorm/frat house/apt, etc.. i promise if you don’t wash your face before going to bed you will wake up looking beautiful)*** IT IS AMAZING!!

BENEFIT’s Talk to the Tan. $26.00, available @ Sephora or Benefit.com

Finally… my favorite bronzing powder: NARS CASINO.  Nars Casino is a true brown-based bronzer with a gold shimmer fusion that’s ridiculous for creating healthy, glowing, tanned skin.

Nars Casino $30.00, available at Sephora or Sephora.com

Goodmorning Fashionistas,

I am so happy you all have been following my blog.  Today I want to talk about WILDCATS, TIGER, LEOPORDS, CHEETAHS, OH MY!  On the run way it was clear that designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Blumarine, YSL, Oscar de la Renta, and DKNY have all been inspired by this animal trend.

Although in the past couple of years we have spotted some HIDEOUS animal-inspired styles, it looks like these prints have come back stronger than ever.

On a budget? TRY THIS…

Aldo “Roessner”, $126

Check out Vanessa Hudgens, Rihanna, Shakira, Jesicca Alba and Gwen Stefani all rocking this new hot look!!!!

FOREVER 21 Leopard Strapless Dress, $21.00

The trick to this look is choosing the pieces that match your personality.  If you normally dress  more on the quiet side…  stick with a piece as simple as an accessory or clutch.  If you are more on the outgoing side, go for that hot leopard dress or leapord shoes!!!!

XOX, (have a trendy day)

Good afternoon Fashionistas,

Lace was all over the fall runways and sexier than ever.

I found this dress that Hayden Panettiere wore to the David Letterman show in July.  It is absolutely to die for.  She looks gorgeous, hot, classic and stunning all at the same time.  The open back just tops off the sexyness of this dress. The designer is Caroline Siekaly and this dress was made for Caroline Seikaly Resort 2010.

Remember, if you dare to wear this look make sure you don’t go over board on accessories (and by that I mean minimal) and wear one lace item at a time!

Hi Again Fashionistas,

I know this is a little late but since I just started my blog I had to share it with all of you.  The OPI ESPANA collection is to die for.  Their mix of transitional pinks, blacks, and purples are making it an essential “must-do” for fall and winter 2009.  My absolute favorite is, “Ate Berries in the Canaries” and “Pampolona Purple”.

Celebs such as Kim Kardashian can be seen wearing this collection!

Since we are on the topic of nails there is a TREND ALERT that must be addressed: GREEN NAILS are in!

People Style Watch says, “Rock fingers and toes in standout shades from mint to forest!”  In order for this look to work make sure to complement your skin tone and keep your nail shape soft!

Goodmorning Fashionistas,

It’s time to show some skin this season with everything CUTOUT! This look is daring, bold, hot and a fun way to add something different to your “go-to black dress”.

Fashion experts @ shopbop.com say, “A silver of skin is in. Slashed, sliced, shredded, and cutout stylers the other order of the day on fall’s runways.”

Heidi & Kristin in Herve Leger Cut-Out dress… who wore it better? My vote is for Heidi.

You may be wondering how long is this trend going to last? Well, it’s here for a while. Michael Kor’s has gone futuristic at New York fashion week with his spring look:

This look is a little too extreme, but you get the point: HOTNESS!

Companies such as Alexandra Burke, David Lerner, LNA, Stella McCartney have all made hot cut out leggings.

Lady Gaga, seriously what are you thinking? CUT OUT LEGGINGS ARE ONE THING, but lets try not to over expose in unwanted areas. Def stop by American Apparel and pick up their leggings, they are only $32, and so worth it!

Have an amazing day and stay posted for more fashion advice daily.
