The Bold Look of Floral

The Bold Look of Floral by redlipgloss 

A long time ago, back when I was in high school, I thought floral prints were passe.  Truly, my mom would try to make me wear them and I would run out of the house screaming because, according to me, floral prints were not cool.

However, now that I'm in my 30's, I realize how amazing floral prints really are.  And not only floral prints but anything containing a flower is also cool.  I am loving the look of floral scarves, heels and even floral purses.

Guess my mom was right, all those years ago.

What is your favorite (albeit SECRET) trend?

GUEST POST: Creative Ways to Display Your Purses

Handbags and purses are a favorite accessory for many women. They’re widely known as the fashion item that always complements, and the perfect purse can take your outfit to the next level. But if your collection is too large, it can be hard to display them all. Too often you decide to throw out a purse you really love because of limited space, or you deny yourself the joy of buying the perfect bag because you don’t know where to put it. Since we at Modernize love offering tips for displaying cherished items in a unique way, here are some creative display ideas to organize your closet and turn your beloved bags into art.  

One favorite decorator’s secret is to create a gallery wall made completely of handbags. This statement lets everyone who enters your home know about your love for fashion. Just hang some vintage hooks along your wall, one for each  bag, eventually filling the entire wall. The display can be sporadic or organized, depending on your personal taste. There will be no question about your love for accessories with this display, and you’ll be able to easily see each purse when choosing your outfit for the day. Hang your pretty hooks on a brightly painted accent wall, or try an all-white wall so that your bags can be the focus.

Some of your handbags may not have handles, and for these clutch-style bags, hook displays will not work. Try a modern shelving unit to display this style of bag. One fun option uses the U-shaped cubbies of a wine rack to display your clutch bag selection. Choose a rustic style to contrast the chic purse fabrics. Your clutches will be easy to grab and will make a big impression on anyone who sees them.

For your most treasured bags, surround the purse with a frame to make it a focal point in your home. If you’ve received an heirloom-style bag or have a purse of sentimental value, hang it carefully on your wall. Find an old vintage frame from a flea market and paint it with a fresh coat of metallic-colored paint. Surround the special purse with your new gilded frame and take pleasure in making the purse an art piece and wow factor to your decor.

A final suggestion for creatively displaying your purses is sourcing old store fixtures. You can often find used store fixtures at closeout sales, flea markets, or online. These fixtures will organize and display your purses like a pro. Your purse assortment will look as good as a boutique, and everything will be well organized and easy to access. You can often haggle to get the best price for these used displays, and they are often collapsible and easy to store when not in use. Your wardrobe will look like a chic boutique window, and you’ll be so proud to show off your collection.

BH Cosmetics: Huge Palette Haul

I've heard of BH Cosmetics for a long time though never actually tried the line before.  I know, strange.  A friend and I decided to place an order and FINALLY give the line a try.

I, of course, ended up with 4 new palettes and some lipstick because that's how I role.

I purchased the Special Occasion Palette, the Glamorous Blush Palette, the Forever Smokey Palette, the Forever Nude Palette and Creme Luxe Lipsticks in Coral Escape, Berry Bite and Te Amo.

The Special Occasion Palette contains 39 colors in divided between blush (9 colors) and eyeshadows (30 colors).  All are absolutely lovely.

The Glamorous Blush Palette is the reason I placed the order though.  It contains 10 fabulous colors that can all be blended together to make your perfect shades.  Love it.

The Forever Smokey and Forever Nude palettes were on "Buy 1 Get 1 Free", hence why I got both.  Here's the Forever Smokey Palette which contains 2 blushes, 2 lip glosse,s 1 highlighter and 6 eyeshadows.

The Forever Nude contains the same amount as the Forever Smokey Palette, just in more muted shades.

Last but not least, check out the lipstick colors,  They are beautiful and rich.  I've been rocking the Coral Escape almost everyday since receiving them!  From left to right the colors are Coral Escape, Berry Bite and Te Amo.

What are your favorite BH Cosmetics products??

    

Yesterday Was National Lipstick Day: What Are Your Favorite Colors?

Unbeknownst to me, yesterday was National Lipstick Day.  I know, how could I NOT have known this, you ask?  I agree and am still kicking myself.  It's now been marked in my calendar for all future Lipstick Days to come.

Lipstick is my favorite beauty product, by far.  I love it so much because it can totally change your entire appearance, with one little coat.  It's the one beauty product you can wear, with nothing else on your face, that can make you look glamorous, put-together and chic.  And, depending your mood, you can choose a color to match how you're feeling.

If you're feeling sexy, there is nothing better than wearing RED.  My all-time favorite red is L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Lipcolour in British Red.

If you're feeling bold, there is nothing better than wearing a BERRY.  My favorite berry lipstick is BH Cosmetics Creme Luxe Lipstick in Berry Bite.

Summer makes me feel happy and my go to color is ORANGE.  My all-time favorite orange lipstick is Avon Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Poppy Love.

If you're feeling playful, you can't go wrong with a FUCHSIA.  My favorite fuchsia lipstick is Joe Fresh Matte Lipstick in Fuchsia.

Try these colors out!  You will fall in love with them as I have, I just know it.  What is your favorite lip color?  What should I be wearing these days?
