Gorgeous Orange

Anyone who knows me understands that I am an "allBlackerrything" Chick to the max, however I have recently fallen in love with the various shades of orange currently being featured on the runways, in fashions mags & throughout my favorite retailers. And, let's not forget about when JHud literally lit up the Oscars this year in that infamous tangerine Versace number she rocked. Orange is rich, vibrant and simply gorgeous. I love pairing a fabulous top or dress in the hue with shades of blue, its complementary color. Ladies, the LOD (little orange dress) is a staple for Spring/Summer 2011 that will not go unnoticed. Visit www.asos.com, www.shopstyle.com, or your other other favorite retailers to find the perfect style and hue for you.

Bright Lips

Bright Lips are all the rave for the Spring/Summer 2011. Not only do bright bold gorgeous hues eloquently add a pop of color to the face, they also accentuate the cheekbones without having to apply blush, highlight or contour. Oranges, pinks & reds are currently popular with virtually all cosmetic lines creating new lip products in these color families. I'm currently obsessed with orange-gold hues (MAC's Fresh Moroccan) and fuschias (Revlon Colorburst in Fuschia). Remember to opt for long wear formulas when exposing the skin to the heat and humidity for extensive periods of time. The next time your perusing the cosmetics section at your local drug store or department store, experiment with eccentric lip colors. Get your shine on Baby!
