Clutches!

JJ Williams Clutch - This clutch is perfect for formal events like weddings or dinner partys but can also spice up a pair of jeans and a flowy T-Shirt. I love studs for adding a punk rocker feel to girly outfits but this clutch is perfect because it has rounded studs and zipper details that are incredibly complimentary to the raseberry pink color!



Stella McCartney Clutch
This clutch is perfect for spicing up your LBD
Add a large pair of diamond stud's in your ears and a simple crystal necklace and your good to go!
Clutches are perfect for adding a sophisticated touch to any outfit but you have to know when a clutch overpowers a day time outfit or needs a little boost at night. 

XOXO-Hollis <3

My Style Icons!

Here's a look at the style icons that I get inspiration from, comment below with your style icons!

 Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port-There amazing understated styles are incredibly timeless and beautiful. Whitney always look's elegant while Lauren is always laid-back but pulled together. But on the red carpet there true styles shine through!
Dulce Candy /DulceCandy87 is totally an inspration to me she is an independant fashion designer who is soon opening her new website with her own creations. She is iconic to me because she always seems to take the most un-ideal peices and turn them into a work of art like this outfit to the right.

The ultimate beauty guidance councilers award goes to the Fowler sister's! Elle and Blair are two Tennese originated girls who moved to L.A to follow there bedazzled dreams. Blaire,18, and Elle,23, are inspiration's to girl everwhere but are constantly getting torn down by people who belived they changed for the worse but what's wrong with a lil' glambition????? These girl's are following there dreams with the eye of the pink panther and are only headed up!

 Kendall Jenner, Sis of the Kardashian trio, is a new found model along with her sister Kylie. Her aquestrian/casual style is new among the glamourous sister's tree of sparkly stapels. Her incredible use of exposed deatails is amazing in this ensemble and I could not have asked for a better role-model.(pun intended, yet it's still not funny)
I can't get enough of these twins from there first movies to there last couple collection's released. I have to admit I do love there hair in this picture as well! There style is wild and elegant at the same time. How could I have asked for more?

Up-Do tutorial and Review!

  Up-Do's are polished,messy,classy,and edgy all at the same time! My personal opinion is that bangs were practicaly made for Up-Do's.Sarah Hyland has piecey bangs that frame her face and give the idea that the Up-Do has volume. 

Jessica Alba has a more bohemian take on the trend here. wearing the Up-Do slightly lower than Hyland's. Her braid bring's texture and attention to her face and draw your eye's to the shiny earring's she paired it with. To get the texture she has use a sea salt spray if you have staright hair. If you have thick or curly hair put a bubble pony-tail in and then spray a holding spray like L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray or Bedhead Masterpiece after you have flat ironed it.
 
Paris' bow style Up-Do is awsome at formal events like dinners,weddings,or proms. Just split your hair into three equal sections and take section 1 & 3 into a high tight bun.Spray with a holding spray and split onto opposite sides of your head. Turn section 2 into a mid-low section pony-tail and rap in-between your half bun's under the crown (or first layer) of your hair until you get the bow effect. Spray with a stiff-holding spray.

Sarah Hyland Makeup!

I've been obsessed with Sarah Hyland (and modern family) this year. She is either seen sporting smokey or very natural makeup on the red carpet. Rarely does she go bold with her lips or cheeks but her eye makeup is always beautiful. 
EYE'S
1-A bronzey orange on the lid with a a smokey brown in the crease gives you a fresh summery glow.
2:Apply a pitch black pencil liner on the waterline and lowerlash line.
3:Do a winged out liner look on your upper lash line meeting the smokey brown you applyed previously.
4:Apply a slightly bronze silver to your inner corners and a white highlight under your brows.
5:Apply a coat of black mascara.
LIP'S
1:Apply a pale pink lip gloss (no shimmer) or a pale pink natural lipstick like arie fairy from Rimmel London.
CHEEK'S
1:Apply a pale coral blush and blend up to your tempels.

Contrasting Hair to Lip Color!



         As you can see contrasting hair to lip color gives you a bright and bold lip that will stand out all  year long!  The no-makeup look will look great with this trend!
This bright lip color will turn heads all summer,fall,and winter and is great with pallete's like the Covergirl Shimmering Sands pallete or the Urban Decay Naked Pallete.
~Brown hair goes great with orange and coral lips because it brings out natural red hues in your hair.
~Black hair is great with hot pink lips because unlike with red lips it gives you a fun girly feel without being vampy.
~Blond hair ia amazing with red because it contrast the soft yellow-brown hues with the bold and bright red color.

High-Waisted Bottoms!

                                                                                                                                                                     
  I love high-waisted bottoms this year. There chic & effortless.. and look great with a T-                                                                              Shirt,blazer,converse,or heels!
My favorite's are the kind that have button detailing on the waist line.To the right & below I will show you two examples of dressing up or down an oufit feat. the high-waisted beauty's ! 
LOOK 1- at the left you will find a pic of DulceCandy87 sporting slightly high waisted jeans that hit about 2 in above the hips. This shows that you dont have to go all out to sport this awsome trend.(Also I love the tucked in button down.... it's super flatering!).

LOOK 2: This high-waisted orange shorts from colormeblue on chictopia are perfect for summer,expecialy for those chilly days when you could conceal your legs a little more by adding the knee highs! Not only are you following this trend but your also adding a spin on the color blocking obsession this season!

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar's!

                   These are extremely pigmented lipglosses that come in incredibly tiny tubes!
Don't be decived by there size my guess is a pea size amount could last you a week! Everyone should pick up some of these weither you like orangey-pinks to pitch black tars there's a color for everyone. My personal favaorite is hot pink but that comes with the teritory of being such a girly blogger! With such a pigmented lipgloss you do get a long-lasting but also drying effect so make sure to apply your favortie EOS lip balm flavor!

NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils!

NYX jumbo pencil's are amazing known for there silky,smooth,butter like application these shadow sticks are extremely pigmented and easily blended with a brush or your finger so there perfect for on- the- go application. The thickness of these pencils are perfect for highlight,inner-corners,or crease colors. The color milk is great for highlighting and french fries for base of crease colors (it beautifuly complements the jumbo pencil in pure gold). I also suggest gold color shadows for all skin tones I have seen the whole bronze goddess look everywhere lately (I despritaly want the NARS lagoona highliting cream!).

All About Blazers!

This season I'm loving blazers
 I just cant pick the right one there are so many to chosse from
But you can never go wrong with classic white lining
My favorite blazer picks have been from Forever 21
There classy,sophisticated and put an effortless,pulled together look to a classic loose T-Shirt
And if you want an even more sophisticated look go with a button down
Of course you can pair it with my (also) favorite summer trend, wedges!
And on the beach with a slite wind chill you can totaly pull of the blazer and bikini combo!

Wedges!

Wedges are not only fun and comfy but there also hot and classy!
Ever heard the saying diamonds are a girl best friend well...... this season were all about wedges!
In every color and style wedges are so versatile you can wear them to a beach party,school,on a date or even to a formal event
But be careful.....to much color and print can take away from your legs making you look shorter
So try to stick with one major feature even if its just a pop of pink of nautical stripes.

The Perfect Lipstick! (for everyone)

Trends come and go but this one is here to stay!
Berry lips have a reason,and never go out of season!
Summer or fall I want it all!
SO TRY IT!

Berry lips are soooo in right now there juicy,fun,sophisticated and still appropriate for a pool party.The color works on every skin tone and can easily become a day to night duo!
