Black is every girl’s go to when it comes to clothing, but now we can get away with black polish, make-up and accessories without people wondering if we’re mourning, Wiccan or Goth!

Black Out ($6.00) by Orly was one of our Fall Polish Picks as well. It’s perfect on it’s own or under a sheer red, gold, purple or blue polish! Black out is easy to apply because of it’s rich and opaque consistency! Don’t be offended if your Grandparents aren’t fans!

Don’t be spooked by attempting a smokey eye! There’s a technique to flatter every eye shape, the Lift Beauty Girls can show you which is best for your eyes!

If BLACK make-up and nails are a bit too extreme for you, try adding a little extra with a great hair accessory. This hair band ($22.00) is one of the Lift Beauty Girl’s favorites! Adds great texture, glamour and umph to what would be a boring or not so special hair style!

Haven’t seen them in years but bold Blues are BACK this year!

Blue on the eyes seems intimidating ‘cause no one wants a throw back to the ‘80s. But if done right, this trend can make your natural eye colour POP! Blue Suede ($14.50) is Lift’s take on a classy blue liner. It’s heavily pigmented and super easy to apply because of it’s creamy texture.
Not daring enough to bring back that 80’s style? Try adding a bold blue accessory like this fun bracelet ($18.00) to a colourless outfit!

Summer may be over, but it doesn’t mean, you can’t keep those golden blonde locks lookin’ fresh! Schwarzkopf’s BlondMe Mouse ($19.95) adds volume and gold pigment to your hair. I’m a sucker for all of the BlondMe products, they transform my mousey, dirty blond hair into glowing golden tresses… try the Shampoo, Moisture Mask and Mouse to get the best results!
Cameron showed off one of Oscar De La Renta’s Fall 2010 Golden masterpieces at the Oscars. Her soft gold eye shadow and highlight, similar to Lift’s White Gold ($15.00) and Oyster Pearl ($15.00) truly compliment the dress and fall’s trends.
If your hair isn’t blonde and Gold shadow is a bit extreme for you – try adding a focal point to your look with a bold-gold accessory! We’ve got gold bracelets, necklace and hair accessories galore – these beauties (Necklaces $28.00) are just a sample of what we’ve got!

Even Christian Loubitan agrees, red is the perfect touch for a pop of colour. We’re seeing a ton of Leopard print in stores for fall, red seems to accent it perfectly.

Final Fall Polish Pick

Black is always in style when it comes to clothing, but we can't say the same thing for black polish... for a long time it was a serious foe-paw to polish noir!

But this fall, black polish is a popular pick!

It's simple but definitely LOUD! Have you tried to pull off Black Polish yet?

Try Orly's "BlackOut," it's amazing on it's own, or layered under a sheer red, blue or green...

Either way a new staple in my collection...

Remember, you can pick up this perfect polish at our Blow Out Sale, on September 11th!

Hope to see you there,

Fall Polish Pick #2

Red is a Classic Colour for Both Lips and Nails...

Although you can wear different tones and shades of red YEAR round, we find it most appealing in late fall early winter!

Deep, rich RED screams class and elegance - 

Orly's Ruby, is the perfect shade for fall!

Ruby is extremely creamy and VERY opaque! 

You can definitely make a STATEMENT with your nails being this super fitting fall colour!

Don't forget, you can pick Ruby up for yourself at our Blow out Sale, September 11th 2010!

Fashion Induced Stress Case!

Does your DESIRE to look Fashionable make you happy or give you grief?

Weekend = Social Activity = ANXIETY!

*I ask this question because lately when it comes time for me to get dolled up for a social engagement I find myself feeling stressed out!

Hair and Make-up, I LOVE DOING! Infact, I look forward to doing my hair and make-up for a night out!

I'm confident in my abilities and always feel like my hair and make-up looks just right!

But when it comes to clothing, I definitely get worked up and generally my room looks like a tornado has passed threw it by the time I have found an outfit!

I have been trying to blame it on my wardrobe, but honestly it can't be the problem! I have more clothes than any one person needs and if I do say so myself I have a great balance of basics, classics and statement pieces.

I think the 2 main reasons that getting dressed stresses me out are;

1. I watch too much TV, Read too many Magazines and follow too many fashion blogs! I WANT, I WANT, I WANT! Honestly, everywhere I turn, I see something new that I want and then when I try to get dressed, all I can think about is what I DON'T have!
2. My body keeps changing! It seems from week to week I'm a different size and/or shape! None of my clothes fit the way they are suposed to anymore! I'm on a budget ladies, I can't just replace my entire wardrobe!

I just want to look my best!!! Should I just go on a bit of a VISA shopping spree?

Are any of you feeling this???

Is it because of the season change, or do you feel it year round??

Does great hair and make-up take away from a bad outfit? 
Can I get away with wearing so/so clothing because my hair and make-up are styled to perfection?

Avitar, Family and Spring Trend Shopping

Back to work I go... but here's and update on my weekend! Xo

After 2 straight weekends of partying I needed a BREAK! I feel OLD :(

I had an awesome day at work on Saturday, LOVE my clients! Afterward, I met up with my brother to hang out! It seems when we are together, we revert right back to the way we were as kids! It's fun to be able to laugh and be ridiculous together! After an hour or so, of us being total goofs, we straightened ourselves out, to meet up with our significant others, and our Mom and Dad (who were in from out of town) for a bite to eat, and to see Avitar!

WOW! I am sure I don't need to go on about Avitar, as I think I was officially the last person in North America to see it!

(Pic: Me, My Big Brother and my kittie Tye!)

Sunday, I slept in - much needed - and then went for a stroll in my neighbourhood to check out the Spring Trends in some of the amazingly cute, independent boutiques near by!


Trends this season:

• Shirt Dresses with Wicked Heals!
  
• Florals and Denim (I'm not talking the standard JEANS, I'm talking jackets, shirts, shorts, skirts and hats!)
  - and -
  
  
  
  • Military Styles, sharply cut, structured pieces.
    I won't need to do TOO much shopping this season! Most of the looks, I can get from what I have in my wardrobe from years past! *I keep everything, styles always come back!
    
    
    
    The only thing I'm missing are some floral pieces to add into the mix! While I was on my walk I scouted some great items at Honey and Sense of Independence! I started with a great accessory! The runway shows were show-casing MULTI strand necklace! Take a look at my new purchase! How cute would it look with a floral top, a pair of boyfriend jean shorts and nude heals? Put a little boho wave in the hair, and a soft sweep of bronzer on the cheeks... Ahhhh what a cute little look!
    
    
    Happy Shopping Ladies! Xo
    
    P.S. This Necklace comes in gold too! So pretty, the heart is a locket, designed by a Canadian and it was a great price! You should check out Sense of Independence on Eglinton!
