I love learning new things and taking on new challenges. The beauty department {hair, makeup and nails} is my new challenge!

Up to now, it's been natural hair styles 💇using my flat iron or wand {hair clip-in's, at times}...basic makeup {foundation, powder, eyebrows, mascara and lip gloss👝}...and doing my own nails. Okay, sooo I'm a little cheap lol. 

NOW, I'm totally open to a new beauty adventure!

The formula behind TFC is personal style. What better way to show you, than to be my own muse. Before sharing my first new findings...in which, I purchased new beauty product and did up my face at least 5 times...once more won't hurt; eyeshadow and lashes are doozies.💆


Stay Tuned!📹

So far, this is my personal makeup stash...#affordableinvestment💲

 And...

My personal nails station

This will be interesting and fun!😏

Try these Makeup Tips via the Runway...Pastels, Chicks?!

I’m still trying to get used to doing my makeup, smh! The struggle is real…I do the basics- my eyeliner, mascara, gloss, foundation and concealer {eye shadows are tough for me}. So, I seek out other great fashion sites and makeup companies to see what I feel comfortable with trying {I leave beauty to the pros like my sisters…apparel is my thang lol}.

When it comes to makeup we are used to seeing bold, dark eyes in the fall/winter and bold, bright eyes in the spring/summer seasons.  How about trying bold, pastel eyes and lips NOW!

  Fashioning.com has some cool looks you can try. Just be cautious about fitting your personal style!

Zoe Saldana for L'Oreal Paris {Watch This!!}

Zoe Saldana {one of my favorite muses in my head} is the newest spokesperson for beauty brand L'Oreal Paris!

Zoe Saldana is one of those simple-chic type of chicks and definitely a red-carpet-killa. Saldana describes her personal style as 'simple clean and strong', which makes sense being that she comes from a line of classy ladies, so the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.  Zoe Saldana is always encouraging young women too. 

This collaboration with L'Oreal Paris is a great fit!

via PSW:

“My mother was a youngling of the ’70s, there was always extraordinary and extravagant eyeshadows,” she says. “My grandmother was all about red lips. I was always liking my femininity, surrounded by women who were very elegant, true ladies but also a little wild.”

 “I definitely had an ugly duckling phase, kind of a grow-into-a-swan thing,” she says. “In the beginning, I didn’t know what turn I may go in. After my teenage years, I began owning my own beauty and working with what I have.” That meant gaining the confidence to do her own thing on the red carpet. “Now I’d never do what I used to do in the past: Allowing people to convince me something looked great when I knew deep, deep down it didn’t,” she says. “I trust my own opinion over someone else’s, always.”

Biggest Trends of 2013...Some will Stay & Some MUST Go!

Cut-outs: Omg! cut-outs were extremely popular, from your everyday wear to your evening wear and even down to your heels. This is a trend we've enjoyed...we will see more in this new year, 2014.

Leather: Let’s thank our rapper friends for this trend {did Kanye say he started this..never mind :D}! It was all leather everything in 2013…apparel, accessories, shoes…and for the entire family! …leather IS a classic.

Emerald Green: Pantone announced this color for 2013, which is a beautiful color. It was heavily embraced on red carpets and big events...Emerald  Green had a great run.  The color for 2014 is Radiant Orchid. =D

Short everything: 2013 was definitely the year to kinda let it all hang out {well…a little while now}; the shorter the the better {...and looking good at it}. Between cut-outs, short-shorts, mini skirts/dresses…let’s just say it was a revealing 2013 lol.

Beauty: Sporting a cat eye and red lip { together or apart} are the two biggest beauty trends we saw in 2013…don’t think it will slow down in 2014 either {classic}!

Nail Art:nail art has had a fantastic run {extremely creative}, from your regular nail polish to 3D, blingy nails. Sadly, this trend will possibly have a slow death in 2014 {remember this Nail Art post}.

Show Stopping Appeal: Everything in 2013 was on 10: colors, prints, mix matching, ‘beat face’{makeup}, hair color, hair extensions..etc. Last year was about stand-out style..really letting your look speak for you. The awesome thing about it...people were experimenting with fashion more than ever!

Wedged Sneakers: I went hard for wedged sneakers {early}, its not ever funny BUT..I’m so OVER them! Wedged sneakers are a combo of my two favorite shoes {wedges +sneakers} I will stick to them both, sold separately in 2014.

Ad T-shirts: T-shirts were upgraded to the umpteeth power! Ad t-shirts {I like to call it} were huge in 2013. Everything was put on a t-shirt from funny sayings, statements, RIPs, and free loved ones..and can’t leave out all the graphics & customization. T-shirts did it all..and more kool stuff will come in 2014, I'm sure.

{That FashReport & Fashion Talk}

Happy Fashion Year 2014!:

I’m sure there are a few up there we can completely do away with for a while {it will recycle}.  In 2014, we will focus on metallic, upgraded prints, more color, play on fabrics as well as fabric manipulation, and some really different silhouettes. 

Tomboy seems to be a lot of the style inspiration {runway shows}…it will upgrade. Also, you will see a more clean classic look…Classic-Chic {minimalism} is coming in 2014. 

Stay tuned for my trend alert post, which will give you the full scoop!

Pantone Announces Radiant Orchid as 2014's Color of the Year!! {we LOVE it}

Photo: Pantone

Pantone announced the color of the year for 2014...it's Radiant Orchid!!!! OMG!! The color for 2013 is Emerald, which is a beautiful color, but I was so ready to see purple as the IT color.

 People have been wearing a lot of purple this year...

remember my post about the Obamas {HERE} & my post right after the New Year about purple {HERE}. Either way I'll take it...2014 is going to be a SUPER stylish year!

Read a couple excerpts from Pantone's Press Release:

“While the 2013 color of the year, PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald, served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “An invitation to innovation, Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today’s society.”

“An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.”

Read the Press Release in full HERE. It explains why this color will be good for fashion, beauty and interior.

Fashion Find: Party looks to try at TOBI

It's almost party time Chicks! This year I want to try something more subtle and less flashy {opposite...I know}. Check the looks below, which give you an idea of what I'm talking about:

A little nontraditional but you will still make a statement. When you pick subtle garments with nice detail, accessorizing is the real focus.

Plain canvas {main garment} with popping tights, heels, jewelry and/or clutch {go-to party bag}. Paint your canvas through your accessories!
