The Influencer's Guide to a Summer Fashion Haul

Hi lovelies,

With summer in full swing and with the temperatures on the rise, it’s time to update your summer wardrobe so you can stay cool in style.

Some of my of favorite ways to revamp my summer look is by incorporating pieces like a PrettyLittleThing skirt paired with a bandeau top and a PTY button-up shirt. This way I can leave my button-up open for air and take it on and off as needed when it’s time to cool down.

Another way to update your summer look is by being daring and wearing a dark color in the warmer months. My go-to is burgundy, navy blue, and black because they are unexpected colors during the summertime months and will instantly make your look stand-out from the crowd. PrettyLittleThing has a ton of beautiful dresses to choose from varying colors, textures, and silhouettes.

If you really want to change up your summer look, opt for heels with denim cut-offs and an oversized sweatshirt layered over a tank top. This way you can look casually chic and still stylish. When the temperature goes up, take-off the PrettyLittleThing top and just sport your tank top, shorts, and heels. During the cooler time of day, usually the morning or night, pop back on your trendy sweatshirt.

But don’t forget about a fun and flirty romper or jumpsuit. One pieces are an easy way to elevate any look and PYT rompers fit and hug your body in all of the right places. Let me know in the comments below, how are you staying cool and stylish in this summer heat?

Why Every Beauty Girl Is Gushing Over Grande Cosmetics

Hi lovelies,

When it comes to my beauty and skincare routine, besides my sunscreen, the one thing that I never leave home without is putting on mascara and a little color and shine on my lips.

That’s why my latest obsession is the NEW GrandeLIPSTICK Plumping Lipstick. The new lipstick collection comes in five super creamy and smooth shades that not only moisturizes my lips but adds a little plump and softness as well. The new lipstick formula is fortified with flower extract, sucrose cocoate, and hyaluronic acid. My favorite shade is Dulce de Leche, but they also come in Wine Down, Au Natural, Red Stilletto, and Mauve Along.

I love wearing super black mascara on my eyes as it makes my eyes pop and enhances their almond shape. That’s my current go-to is their new GrandeDRAMA Intense Thickening Mascara with Castor Oil.

It makes my lashes feel and look super long and thick without the worry that my natural lashes will be damaged. To me, it’s like conditioning your lashes while elevating your make-up look.

Let me know, what are your beauty staples that you can’t leave home without?

Top 5 Bridal Trends for Summer 2019

Hi lovelies,

The international runways are providing the spring 2019 bride with a wide variety of styles to work with. Think dramatic and opulent styles. The bride is more romantic and less bohemian than in the past. In spring 2019, old is new again as everything else in the fashion industry. Expect to see embellishments, more color, and statement details that will have people talking. 

Versailles Overload 
It looks like regal fashion is in thanks to The Duchess of Sussex and York. Or, it could be a reaction to fashion's casual and normcore styles as of late. Nonetheless, expect to see confection-like skirts, ruffles, and exaggerated sleeves on wedding gowns. The 2019 Bridal and Couture show went back to yesteryear with large pleated ruffles, Victorian-inspired sleeves, and ultra-high necklines. 

Whether you're having a church wedding or an ultra-romantic nighttime event, you'll want to channel your inner Marie Antoinette. The latest fashion showings from Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang, Viktor & Rolf Bridal, and Valentino Haute Couture have proved that all things royal are in for spring 2019. 

Old Hollywood Glam
Boho bridal dresses are slowly on their way out. Designers are focusing on old Hollywood glam once again. Expect to see embellishments, layered skirts, and ruffles. Most of them have pushed it to the limits with wedding dresses that feature feathers, plume, and plush details.

When it comes to old Hollywood glamour, understated is not an option. What may have felt over-the-top or try-hard in past seasons is now in for spring 2019. These feathered wedding dresses feel like something from the roaring 20s. When wearing one of these dresses, style your hair edgy, ethereal, or minimal to avoid looking like a character from The Great Gatsby. 

Statement Sleeves 
The spring 2019 wedding dresses from Chanel Haute Couture, Galia Lahav Bridal, Rodarte, Oscar de la Renta, and Vera Wang Bride looked like something out of an episode of Dynasty. Bridal sleeves are coming back in a big way. Most of them looked like they originated in the early 80s. Whether it's a detachable sleeve, puffed sleeve, or raglan sleeve, there are a wide variety of options. 

Brides aren't wearing sleeves to cover-up their arms. They're wearing them for that added interest and appeal. Draped and structural sleeves draw the entire to the rest of the look. For an instant wow-factor, opt for detachable poufy sleeves. Wear them for your big walk down the aisle, and then rip them off before you dance the night away. 

Haunting Wedding Dresses
There was a particularly haunting wedding dress that captivated everyone at the Gucci Cruise 2012 show. On the catwalk in Alyscamps, Arles was a bride dressed in something that looked as if it came from the 18th century. Her dress was paired with a Gucci crucifix necklace similar to this one from the RealReal but in black. This bridal look was clearly taken from the past for future inspiration. It'll be interesting to see if future brides will be jumping on this haunting trend. 

Art on Steroids
The Louis Vuitton Cruise 2019 show featured funky designs, iconographic accessories, and mismatched looks from Nicolas Ghesquiere's most shocking collection yet. This fashion show took place in the glorious Louvre museum. He played along with the art theme for his cruise showing on Monday, May 27. Among the haunting live soundtrack were models dressed up in quirky looks that featured curved lapels and spliced sleeves and were paired with thigh-high leather boots with chunky heels similar to the 2019 Archlight Leather Boots from The RealReal. 

There were also a wide variety of puff-sleeved dresses, similar to the Gucci Cruise show. The Louis Vuitton show didn't show any ghostly wedding dresses. Instead, Ghesquiere's main focus was bringing out each of the model's personalities. It was a perfect combination of his signature looks paired with novelties that the fashion industry thrives on.

Embrace Skincare Rejuvenation With Genucel

Hi lovelies,

There is one notable impact of aging that simply cannot be ignored. We are talking about the way that our skin degrades as we age, of course. Having perfect skin is hard even in the best conditions. Unfortunately, most of us do not follow a pitch-perfect diet that is accompanied by the ultimate skincare regime. As a result, we end up with all of the skin conditions that are traditional with aging such as wrinkles, dark spots, and even the occasional blemish. Fortunately, we don't have to live with these issues if we do not want to. Today, we are going to be discussing a three-part approach to addressing your age-related skin conditions.

Rejuvenate Your Skin Via Dieting
Getting healthy skin is all about what you put into your body. While it is important to practice quality hygiene, and that is something that we will discuss later, it all starts with how you fuel your body. When trying to find that perfect skin, you are going to want to start with a foundation of adequate water consumption. Water is the foundation of life and your skin is 63% water. Drink thirty ounces of water per day and consume more if you are going to be out in the sun.

Additionally, you can take a bite out of any skin problems by paring back your consumption of sugar and other processed foods. Processed foods contribute to many dietary complications that can eventually lead to your face. Change out the processed food for something closer to raw. We don't mean 'raw' as in uncooked, we mean 'raw' as in closer to nature. 

Clear Up Your Skin With The Genucel System
Once you've got your diet locked in, you need to shift your focus toward your skincare routine. Fortunately, there are many different and amazing skincare products available for sale. One of the top skincare systems for youthful rejuvenation is the Genucel System. Genucel's skincare routine is based on plant stem cells. The routine is built like a traditional skincare regiment and it incorporates a morning exfoliation which is to be followed by moisturization and UV protection. The Genucel system is based on proprietary blends that are not going to be easily found in other skincare routines.

Keep in mind, as you pursue your skincare regiment, you are going to have to take careful stock as to how you respond to the treatment. Each of our skin types will vary and some routines may not work well for others. Try a regiment for at least a couple of weeks, barring any sort of allergenic reaction. If you continue to find little to no improvement, consider making adjustments and going from there. Taking care of your skin isn't a turn-key process, you have to put in the work.

Administrate Your Environmental Conditions
Finally, you can address the quality of your skin by also taking a closer look at how you treat your environment. When you are at home, consider installing a humidifier in order to properly release enough moisture into your environment. When your environment is too dry, you end up running into skincare issues. A humidifier that is properly stocked and taken care of can provide an immense boost to your skin.

Finally, you are also going to want to take your UV protection serious, even when indoors. Take care to stay out of the sun's rays, even when you are in your home. Install a sheer curtain to diffuse some of the light or get into the habit of wearing sunblock while you are at home. By taking it upon yourself to always be UV aware, you can ensure that your skin is rejuvenated quicker.

Why Every Beauty Girl Trusts Her Skin With Urban Skin Rx

I’ve never been more in love with my skin that I am now thanks to Urban Skin Rx. As a brown girl in my full black girl magic shine, letting my inner joy come through has never been an issue, but dealing with hyper-pigmentation, scarring, and uneven skin-tone, used to plague me, until now.

Why Every Beauty Girl Is Using LaseMD

Hi lovelies,

I had the pleasure of receiving my very first LaseMD procedure at Zena Medical in Newport Beach and I couldn’t be happier with my treatment. Even though it might take a few more days to see the full results on my skin, my experience at the medical center was phenomenal.

I was running a bit behind my normal schedule because I’ve been under the weather lately, but I was determined to make my appointment because having soft, smooth, plump, and even-tone skin is important to me and trying the laser technology experience by Lutronic was not-to-be-missed.

The LaseMD procedure rebuilds healthy skin, rejuvenates pigmented skin, and resurfaces fine lines and wrinkles by treating actinic keratosis, face, neck, arms and decollate care, benign pigmented lesion. lentigos, and freckles.

MY SKIN IS GLOWING ONE DAY AFTER RECEIVING LASEMD

I was greeted warmly by Dr. Zena Gabriel, who’s a board-certified dermatologist and has over a decade of extensive integrated experience in medical dermatology, surgical dermatology, Mohs Micrographic Surgery and aesthetic treatments, and she was just as lovely as she was informative and intelligent.

I was then talked through the simple yet powerful procedure that started with cleaning my skin and then by applying a numbing cream to my face - even though the procedure really didn’t hurt. Next, Laura performed the LaseMD procedure to my face and she was warm, friendly, and kind, and talked me through each step so that I felt comfortable and at ease.

I’m so excited to go back for more treatments and to enjoy my results. Here’s to happy, healthy, and glowing skin!

LaseMD GLO: Laser Skin Resurfacing
What is LaseMD GLO? The newest anti-aging treatment that rejuvenates skin texture and tone using laser heat combined with a potent topical agent. This laser reduces fine lines and discoloration caused by sun damage, while stimulating collagen to create a healthy glow. Results can be seen even after a single treatment.

How does LaseMD GLO work?
Multiple laser beams penetrate the skin creating tiny micro-wounds within the skin. It promotes collagen regeneration which naturally reduces skin imperfections. Following each treatment, a specific anti-aging serum and cream mask are applied to the treated skin – enhancing the experience and optimizing the benefits for a longer-lasting effect. Patient’s experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. The serum is sent home with you to continue applying as your skin heals. By doing this, you are effectively feeding your skin nutrients through the open channels causing maximal results.

Why LaseMD GLO?

• Improves texture and tone of skin
• Shrinks pore size
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Erases unwanted brown spots
• Rejuvenates neck, chest, arms, lower legs, and hands
• Stimulates new collagen formation

What should I expect following a LaseMD GLO treatment?
Healing occurs in less than one week. Some swelling and redness is normal for about 1 -2 days or longer if a stronger setting is used. Make-up may be applied 2 hours following treatment. How soon will I see results? In just a few days, new skin will appear that is smoother and more even-toned. You will continue to see improvement for up to 6 months because of the stimulation of new collagen formation. After the procedure, you will be given specific and individualized instructions on how to obtain optimal results with at-home care.

How many treatments will I need?
Most patients require 3-5 treatments. Each treatment builds upon the last to improve the “GLO” of your skin. All patients are assessed individually and a unique treatment plan will be created for you! The effects following a series of LaseMD treatments are long term and highly successful.

How long will the effects last?
The effects of the laser treatment do not “wear off” with time, however, our body’s natural tendency is to age. To minimize on-going and future damage, preventive measures may be utilized, such as: daily sunscreen use, creating suncoverage with a hat, and avoiding outdoor activity during the peak hours of sun. These lifestyle changes will allow your newly-formed, healthy skin to stay looking refreshed and glowing longer.
