The Arbitrary Index

1- Carry a planner. Because, obviously, people with plans need a planner. So what if your “appointments” consist of trash pick-up schedules, your (twice-a-year) dental visits, and a wedding you have no intentions of actually attending? One day you might just have to pencil in that date with Ryan Gosling.

2- Wear shades like a boss. Seriously. If you don’t believe me, try it out in the mirror…something about occluding your eyes (**cough, under eye circles) makes you walk taller, speak stronger, and just…stride with confidence. Important people stride with confidence.

3- Keep your accessories sophisticated. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worn a nice coat over a frumpy tee <bra optional>…paired with a stylish watch, sharp boots, new scarf, and…duh….shades. Even if you’re just running to the market, this look will carry you through the situation with class.

4- Resist the urge to immediately jump out of…

Bag guage – bag care

How am I supposed to breathe with no air?

Imagine those words coming straight from your bag…lol!!! Very scary, right?  Truth is, your bags may have very well ‘spoken’ those words by now by way of the white musky film or patches that we find on our bags from time to time.  It’s time to take control, init?

– Always let your bags breathe.

– Store you bags in the accompanying dust bag and if space permits, stuff your bags with newspaper or other similar paper to help retain the bag shape.

-Don’t carry one bag for too long, no matter how much you love the bag. Switch bags as regularly as you can, some ladies switch weekly, I do a switch fortnightly.

-Clean your bags properly and ensure they are dry before storing them.

Welcome to Hair Brush School

The size of your styling brush depends on the desired style and length of your hair.  In terms of round brushes, the longer the hair the larger the diameter of the round brush.  There are so many different types of brushes on the market…so what ones should you include in your brush collection? Let’s go to brush school…

1.  The Paddle Brush-  This brush is perfect for a style that is smooth and sleek without a lot of volume.  This brush is best for longer styles.  I like to use the paddle brush, when blow drying, to get the majority of moisture out of the hair before using a round brush.

2. Soft Bristled Round Brush- This brush is gentle on tangles yet gives enough tension to smooth out wavy hair.  Using this brush will help achieve a volumous style with shine because of all the bristles smoothing out every strand of hair.

3.  Thermal Round Brush- …

Shape Matters

Sequin and Tulle

I think that it is very important to wear clothes that accentuate beautiful parts of your body. I am very aware of my body and how I tend to look in certain pieces of clothing. Not all clothing hugs me in the right places and so I believe that it is important to invest in quality undergarments. Carefully selected and fitted undergarments have the power to outline the silhouette of your figure and allow clothes to fit much better.

This collection of shapewear from H&M is great!shape wear

Love the high-waist panties that smooth out the panty lines. The black slip is a great way to give form to the body under a fitted dress.

A high-waist skirt or shorts are great to wear under a tight dress or a dress with thin silky material. I own a few…
