You Are What You Wear by Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner

Did you ever see someone's outfit and instantly wonder "What were they thinking?" Did you ever find something hanging in your closet and wonder what possessed you to buy that in the first place? What we wear says a lot about who we are and how we feel about ourselves.  You Are What You Wear: What Your Clothes Reveal About You by Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner helps you uncover the real reasons behind our choices and the solutions to almost every woman's fashion dilemmas.

You Are What You Wear takes a look at the psychology behind what we purchase.  The author examines why women continue to purchase the wrong sized clothes even after losing or gaining weight. She offers insight into the reason a woman purchases clothing that is too young or too old for her actual age. She also takes a look at some of the psychological connections behind our purchases like dressing in baggy, dark clothing when depressed or compulsive shoppers who continue to purchase things they do not need or like simply to purchase.

The book contains a What's in Your Closet challenge where you will evaluate what you currently have, what your past fashion/shopping history is, how you feel about yourself and fashion now, and what you hope for in the future.  After you go through this detailed analysis, each chapter of the book will  address a different problem and its treatment. Each chapter has a real life story as an example and then a look at what that issue might mean and how to deal with it.

If you're concerned about the state of your wardrobe or your closets, this book is definitely an eye opener. While I didn't fall completely into any one category, I found it very easy to see pieces of my fashion behavior in several of the categories. That gave me the tools I need to evaluate what I have, what I'm holding onto, and what direction I want to move toward. Will I change my behavior completely because of the book? No, probably not. But the book did help me open my eyes to what I buy and why. The next time I'm at the store and am reaching for another Dolce & Gabbana or eyeing that Dooney & Bourke bag, I'll think about why. Maybe I'll still buy it or maybe not but at least I'll do it with my eyes open. Read You Are What You Wear: What Your Clothes Reveal About You and see what it says about your closet.

Article first published as Book review: You Are What You Wear: What Your Clothes Reveal About You by Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner on Blogcritics.

Marchesa Bridal Spring 2013 Runway Show

Marchesa Bridal Spring 2013 Runway Show

Makeup by Talia Shobrook

*All products from Laura Mercier Makeup Collection

Face Chart:

INSPIRATION

For the Marchesa Bridal Spring 2013 Runway Show, Talia Shobrook, lead makeup artist for the show, was inspired by the fashionable and fresh Marchesa bride-to-be. The makeup look she created was whimsical and effervescent. By carefully selecting a palette of warm and diffused colours, she was able to develop the natural flush that people love for brides, evoking a woman that is both innocent and sensual.

FACE: According to Shobrook, “flawless skin with a fresh and dewy finish was the foundation of the look.”

·         First, Talia mixed Laura Mercier Mega-Moisturizer Crème SPF 15 with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Radiance to add a subtle glow to the skin.

·         She then covered under eye circles with Laura Mercier Secret Concealer and covered any spots or redness with Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage.

·         Next, she applied Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation to the face.

·         Lastly, she used Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder in the T-zone, for control shine, leaving the rest of the skin dewy and fresh.

EYES: According to Shobrook, “we chose to highlight the eye, to add to the allure that a bride’s sparkling eyes have on her wedding day.”

·         First, Talia mixed Laura Mercier Sateen Eye Colours Stellar and Primrose and applied them on the lid from lashline to the crease.

·         Next, she softly contoured the crease with Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour in Fresco.

·         Using Laura Mercier Baked Eye Colour in Ballet Pink, she dipped a Laura Mercier Fine Point Eye Liner Brush into water and swirled around the Eye Colour to pick up the product, then drew a line across the lashline, with a slight flick at the outer corner. The eyeliner should be thin, and bright.

·         On the lower lashline, she used a Laura Mercier Flat Eye Liner Brush to apply Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour in Truffle just at the lashline and blended slightly to soften.

·         Lastly, she finished with a layer of Laura Mercier Long Lash Mascara and another layer of Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara to the lashes in the center of the eye.

LIPS & CHEEKS: “By using the same product on the eyes and lips, we allow the fresh-faced bride to only have to carry one product for touch-ups. The creamy formula adds a lovely natural flush to the face,” Shobrook concluded.

·         On the cheeks, Talia applied Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Mango (NEW, launching September 2012) to the apples of the cheeks and blended to give a natural flush in the face. The result is a creamy smooth natural cheek color.

·         The look was finished with the punchy Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Mango (NEW, launching September 2012) blended onto the lips as well.

Disclosure: I received nothing for sharing this information. I just love the look.

Fraas - The Scarf Company

Did you ever have an outfit you just loved but you felt it needed a little something extra?  I love casual outfits. I'm not one to dress up every day unless I have a meeting with a client or I'm heading out with friends or my husband.   I'm a huge fan of jeans and a white shirt.  To dress it up a little bit, I love to add a scarf for some visual interest.

I received a beautiful Fraas Scarf in a cute contemporary leopard print that I have fallen in love with. It's available in three different color palettes - pink, brown, and black. There are thirty new Fraas brand styles that are debuting this spring/summer in a range of mid tone and neutral shades.  The contemporary leopard print in pink (#393085) is the scarf I received.  It measures 28x20 inches so it can be used as a scarf or a light wrap.

It's made of a light weight acrylic which makes it perfect for traveling. It takes up very little room and doesn't require ironing at all. Just take it out of your bag or suitcase, shake it out and you're set for the evening. It should be hand washed and laid flat to dry. It retails for $40.  Fraas offers a variety of woven and knit scarves, stoles, ruanas, wraps, capes and related accessories. Products are distributed worldwide via department and specialty stores as well as online retailers.

Shiseido Shimmering Rouge for your Lips

Shiseido Shimmering Rouge lip color promises to plump your lips and give them a luminous shine.  Unlike some lip colors, Shiseido Shimmering Rouge feels moist against your lips and is not at all drying. It really does feel more like a lip balm than a lip color and I love it.  I hate how drying and tacky some lip colors feel. With photo-smoothing pearl, this moisturizing formula will give a fuller appearance to lips.

Shiseido believes in the pure, holistic experience of beauty with uncompromised details.   They offer a full line of beauty products including skin care, sun care, makeup, fragrance, and men's products.  The products are attractive with a very luxurious feel that will make any woman look and feel pampered.

I love the range of colors. I chose the Sorbet (PK415) which is one of their new colors. It's shown in the very top picture. It's the absolute perfect color for me. It leaves behind just a hint of color and gives my lips a nice, moist look.

Shiseido products can be purchased from Macy's, Sephora, Nordstrom, and Lord & Taylor. Or you can take advantage of their free shipping on any order over $50 and purchase directly from the website. Retail price is $25.00
