if you even knew how many things i want from this collection. my oh my dont get me started. however, if you'd like to donate items preferably medium (small would fit me but lets not forget about my limbs) then i have no issue accepting them to get rid of some of the space in my closet. just kidding. no seriously though if you want to, i wont stop you.

so i just wanted to share with you some things before this year is over and here they are

winter trends

_big hair. say hello dolly because its all about sexy wild teased hair. like lots of volume and loose spirals kind of thing. if you have short hair though do not fret, slap some pomade on and go for a cool sculpted look in your hair. try a pompadour or parting it to one side and doing finger waves.

_shoes. match your shoes with your lipstick. im so serious if your doing bright red match that with your loubitons and if you have shocking pink shoes on get some covergirl lipstain to make your lips pop. i, however, will be indulging in plum almost black lips stick to match my plum almost black shoes pumps.

_curves. the bandage dress is probably a staple for a winter wardrobe. just imagine all the eyes tha will be on you after you take that extra lare puffy coat off. bandage dresses were originaly a herve leger thing in the late eighties but it shows off your curves in all the right places. however, it is not a dress for every body type.

_white. we all love the little black dress yes, it will never die. on the other hand the little white dres is not so much of a staple as it is a traffic stopper. you can still get that classic daring cut of an lbd in any color. its all about nonconformity and chic versatility.

_redhead. if you want to die your hair but your not looking to be a blonde, rejoice. rehead is the way to go, at least i think so. everyones a blonde these days. try an apricot, papaya, or persimmon. make sure the color works with your skin tone and dont go to red we want you to be naural ove, not a clown.

_black leather boot. now, in my first blog post i had the daily fashion tip as something black for a very long time. i wont lie, i still love black. not even on an emotip, i just feel that its so simple that it works with verything and im always wearing sometype of accesorie and black lets it pop. sory off topic ther but black leathe rboots are a rock classic with or without the heel ( i love the polo version) and you can wear them with a mini dress or pants or jeans or whatever you like.

oh and btw check out the shoppers paradise i've updated the links and added some new ones.

daily fashion tip_costume jewelery. think faux pearls and glam like jewels. its all about extravagence. bonus: not as expensive as real baubles but if crafted nicely you'll never know the difference. think brocade fabrics, faux leapord skin, fur jackets, gold, and snake skin shoes. omg its like katy perry has taken over my mind...

Little Miss Sunshine

skin is sensitive in all climates but cold is definetly its arch enemy. no one loves chapped lips, dry skin, or frozen noses, unless of course you are the cold. here are some tips i've found in my fifteen years that are guarenteed to brighten your complection to a healthy glow.

1_dermatologist. lets be honest, there is no one who could give you better advice on what to do with your skin then someone who's certified.
2_water. yes, you've heard the eight glass thing so many times but getting 64 ounces of water everyday really does make you feel better. an easy way to sneek in those glasses is to drink two cups of water during every meal.
3_sugar. slow down on your intake of your favorite cupcakes cookies and candies. try to eat something sweet one day then a fruit or vegtable the next.
4_sleep. eight hours is not for everyone, but a regular sleep schedule will do miracles for everything in your life.
5_cucumbers. not they are not a myth the lady at the spa put them on your eye for a reason. cucumbers can hydrate and sooth your delicate eyes.
6_scrub.exfoliation is keeeey! your body produces skin pretty fast and if it builds up it will clog your pores. eww. gentle scrubs are great foe everyday but be cautios with heavy dutty scrubs they can dry your skin
7_moisture. affter skins been scrubed its better able to pick up moisture. you should put it on every morning and evening. look for brightness-boosting ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, azelaic acid, mulberry extract, and grape-seed extract.
8_sunblock. no matter where you live those uv rays can find you. use a sunscreen on your skin to protect it. there is a difference between being, tan and being an orange sunburnt mess,
9_green tea. it's main ingredient is polyphenol (egcg) and its 100 times more effective at neutralizing fre radicals than vitamin c.
10_veggies. mother knew best. the antioxidants and vitamins in blueberries and broccoli fend off free-radical damage (ahem, aging brown spots and fine lines), while the beta-carotene in carrots and lycopene in tomatoes reduce the likelihood of UV damage.
11_peel. try a solution with low levels of glycolic acid and/or natural fruit enzymes like pumpkin, papaya, and pineapple to dissolve dead skin cells gently. do it as often as once a week,or as little as once a month,to give your face a quick pick-me-up.
12_steam. if you cant do the spa thing, your shower will do just fine. it gets the oxygen in your blood flowing,  helps your body in sweating out toxins, and helps clear pores of grime and debris. bonus; a steam session also leaves you with rosy pink cheeks.
13_color. the right hair color can make your skin look fantastic, its not to bad for your hair either. opt for warm tones, asshy tones can make you look sever and and took dark leaves you emo. and for the love of bob, blonde is not for everyone.
14_vitamin. it will do wonders for your health and skin. you dont gotta get fancy a drugstore brand will do.

ancient family secrets:

15_oxygen. yes to exercise and no to smoking. high levels of oxygen in blood keep your capillaries strong and increase blood flow. it will also make it easier for you to fit into skinny jeans.
16_lemon juice. if you went overboard with the tinting never fear. a little lemon juice can correct self-tanner mishaps just gentley rub a fresh slice of lemon over over bronzed areas and it will ighten the sumdges. then rinse it off.
17_acid. not not drugs you fool. fatty acids like omega-3 will protect you against sun burn and inflammation. it also helps skin seal in moisture. try salmon, walnuts, and flax.
18_multitasking. im talking bout your foundation. look for a formula that contains vitamin c, which helps even skin tone and minimize blotchiness. if luminosity is what you’re after, a liquid is always your best bet, the moisture in it helps increase light reflection.
19_highlight. illuminate your skin with an oil-free liquid iridescent highlighter. mix it with your foundation, face lotion, or body lotion or use it alone, it’s an easy way to highlight brow bones, contour cheeks, and give you a head-to-toe glow.
20_ cotton and milk. to reduce under eye circles, soak cotton pads in cold whole milk and put them on your eyes for a few minutes. the temperature helps to constrict blood vessels and the lactic acid in milk hydrates and plums your skin so the blueness is less noticable.
21_ice cubes. rub an ice cube all over your face everymorning and your good to go.

daily fashion tip_ toothpaste. say no more just brush and spit.
