Closet Staples: The White Collared Shirt (Part 2 of Wardrobe Overhaul Series)

Recently I blogged about spring cleaning and overhauling my wardrobe.   I had to toss some stuff away because I am so notorious in buying a lot of in the moment clothes that don't last through different seasons.  Now that my closet is empty again,  I promised myself to be wiser when it comes to shopping.  I plan on building the foundation of my closet with staples. With staples, I mean pieces that I can pair with different items from my closet to create different looks.  These staples are the building blocks of my wardrobe.  Through the next few blogs,  I will be discussing one closet staple that a wardrobe should never ever be without.  Today,  I will discuss one of the staples every girl must have in her wardrobe:
Closet Staple #1: A crisp white collared shirt This piece is very versatile, it can be worn for work, casual weekend and vacation looks:

For Work:﻿


For A Casual Weekend Look:﻿ ﻿
For that vacation/touristy look: And here's Olivia Palermo sporting our closet staple # 1: And Kim Kardashian: So there you have it, closet staple #1 for work, play and evening out.  Please don't let your closet be without it my fashionistas!﻿

Pastels and Neons: My mall finds

I rarely go to the mall.  I just don't have the time to do it anymore.  It's just most of the shopping I do,  I do online for convenience.  With my pharmacy job and  house chores, in person shopping is probably the least of my priorities.  Well, last Saturday I had the chance to go to the mall and it was a breath of fresh air seeing all the pastels and neons available everywhere!!!  I didn't realize I'd be so enamored with neons as I feel like neon clothes scream construction uniform for me.  I do, however,  love small hints of neons in the form of shoes, bags and accessories.  Here's a recap at one of my stops:  ALDO Before I decide to buy anything,  I always have to see if an item fits in my wardrobe.  So I immediately pulled up my account online with http://www.besttrendsforever.com/ to see if I could create styles using these items from the mall with the stuff I already own:

I really love the BestTrendsForever.com style me feature.  Saves me some second guessing whenever I go to the mall for a shopping trip.  I could easily check what I have in my closet online using my phone and style a potential item with any of the stuff I already own and, voila! I can decide whether to buy an item or not.  For this shopping trip,  I think I'm gonna get all these neon shoes I took a picture of because they absolutely go well with some of my closet items.  How about you?  Do you BTF?

Body Shapes: Styling Tips for the Apple Shaped If you have broad shoulders and a torso that's much wider than your lower body,  then you are probably an apple.  Think inverted triangle: If you are apple shaped your goals are: To accentuate slim arms and decolletage, create waist, slim the torso and accentuate the legs and balance the heaviness of the torso by wearing the appropriate bottoms.

Ideal tops for an Apple Shaped are:

Met Gala 2012: My Worst Dressed List



﻿I feel bad that 3 out of 5 are Alexander Mcqueen's.  But the thing is,

Sarah Burton, the line's designer is a genius but her work was just not interpreted or justified properly here.  They're breath-taking runway pieces but red carpet?  I am not sure about that.  My ultimate litmus test is, if I was Cinderella, would Prince Charming have picked me up with this dress on? if the answer is no, I move on to the next gown:)

Four Seasons of Florals

With the current economic instability,  I try to find creative ways to stretch the wearability of a clothing item i bought from one season to all throughout the entire year.  The floral dress is one example of a seemingly exclusively for summer item that actually is very versatile you can wear it all year long no matter what the season is.  With a little tweaking in styling,  this very flexible closet staple is guaranteed to be season-proof:

"Green" in the Face: Mineral Foundations

I have to admit,  I'm one of those people who have not totally yielded to the "Organic" or
"All-natural"hype.  I get scared away when there's an "organic" attached to anything especially food because I imagine it to be tasteless and on top of that, expensive.
When it comes to makeup though,  I am the biggest fan of  natural or organic because it gives me the confidence that the product I'm using is chemical-free.  See, my skin is very sensitive and my face breaks out immediately after trying on a makeup that my skin is not used to.  So to take the second guessing off of my face makeup,  I usually like to use natural or organic products especially with foundation.
My favorite makeup foundation in the world is Jane Iredale mineral makeup.  An aesthetician once recommended it to me when I was having breakouts and I've never switched since.  Not only is it natural, it also has spf and it stays on virtually all day without having to retouch half way through the day.  It gives awesome coverage for those imperfections without being too thick on the skin. Their website states that their product is inert that it does not allow bacterial growth!  So there you go acne sufferers out there! Those acne bacteria are banned from your skin with this amazing product.  I just can't rave enough about it so why don't you try it for yourself?  It is a little more expensive than your regular makeup and only some specialty and online stores carry this line,  but trust me, once you go Jane Iredale,  you will never go back. Jane Iredale Amazing Base Loose Minerals SPF 20 - Golden Glow If you can't find Jane Iredale in your area and you can't absolutely wait to get a hold of a natural powder makeup from an online store,  below are other alternatives that are readily available both online and in most department stores and drugstores near you: bareMinerals Customizable 8-pc. Get Started Kit - Matte Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc Free Mineral Loose Powder Translucent Light - 0.49 Oz So please, do your skin a favor by going green on your foundation.  You will not only protect your skin from harmful chemicals,  you will also help nurture your skin, keep it young and reduce acne breakouts by keeping bacteria at bay and keeping pores unclogged.

BB Creams to Better Beauty? ( A Review)

I love Korean soap operas!  Not only are they entertaining (  if you're watching something without understanding what in the world the characters are saying and you still keep watching,now that's entertaining!),  it's also interesting to see how those actors and actresses seem to have flawless complexions like that of a porcelain!  So I did my googling, "Porcelain Face Korean Actress"  and, voila!  I discovered that the secret to this remarkably perfect complexion is this product called BB cream.
I did more research and apparently, BB cream originated in Germany as a "Blemish Balm" cream as a post laser treatment to soothe the skin.  It became primarily a hit in Asia where it is said that in Korea 13% of its annual sales on cosmetics consists of BB creams!
As my curiosity of the product got stronger and I could not wait to try the product out for myself if I ordered it online,  I hurried to this huge Korean supermarket where they sell beauty products, and of course, BB creams in what seemed like endless varieties!  So i zeroed in on this one and here's what I think: When I first squeezed the product on to my fingertip,  I noticed that the consistency of the cream was rather thick.  On top of that,  it also  came pre-tinted(  apparently,  there aren't many choices in colors but this weird whitish tan hue) so I didn't really have much choice but to purchase it as the sales lady said the color may look a bit scary at first but once you put it on the tint will go away.  So I took her word for it and tried it out for myself.
The product, as it was very thick, was a bit challenging to spread all over the face.  It also looked like I had a mud mask on at first.  So I waited for about five minutes and the mud mask look was gone but the product still made my skin look a little paler that normal.  I put my foundation on over it and after a while I noticed that my skin was glowing like a Korean actress!!
For the entire day I kept looking at myself in the mirror and I really had a glowing skin and the glow continued until I finally washed my face at night !  I also got a lot of complements and some people asked what I did with my skin 'cause it's "glowy".  Of course,  I didn't tell them what it was.  They can just think I'm just naturally born that way;)
Overall,  I think that the Asian BB cream really delivered the glowiness that I was expecting from it.  But if you are white skinned and don't really care for a pale Korean soap opera look,  then stay away because your skin will look glowy but pale.  It is a very great product but if you're in a country where tan is in,  then this defeats the purpose of your tanning yourself all day at the beach.   BB creams, however have reached the Western cosmetics world and companies like Estee Lauder have joined the BB cream bandwagon but to make the product more appealing to its customers, they have to take out the "whitening effect" factor.  I think next time I go to Sephora,  I will try the American version to achieve the glow without the pale look:). Here is the link where you can actually buy one version of the BB cream on Ulta's website for  Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35 And for those of you who are into anti-aging products, here is the anti-aging BB cream I found on HSN's website for
Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream with Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Be my friend on http://www.besttrendsforever.com/
