Happy Holidays!

As i'm sure most of yoy have noticed, we have been M.I.A lately! With the holidays, and Key being on break from school it has been hard to find time to blog. I just wanted to pop on for a quick second and share Keyanna's christmas pics with you all. For 1 set of pictures we did her hair with our long and wide Curlformers, and for the other we flat ironed her hair. 
Sorry for the quality of the pics, there are the online proofs from our shoots.
Hope you all have been enjoying the holidays!

Your Skin Problem FIXED!

Under Eye puffiness -
                           First thing in the morning, wet finger tips in cold water and dab softly over the puffiness. This will bring the "swelling" down.

Red Cheeks & Rosacea -

The easiest way to hid redness on the face is to use yellow! A lot of people use green concealers or creams however the yellow works the best to counter act the redness. So if you suffer from high colouring or Rosacea try yellow primers or concealers. 

Acne/Spots/Blemishes -

This tricks works a treat and its HEAT well actually its steam, lightly steaming the face for 5 mins can bring the yucky horrible stuff in the skin to the surface and then all you have to do it to wash it away! Its that easy!!

Steaming also works on dry skin as it break down the flaky dead cells and make it easier to exfoliates.  

Dry Lips

This is a funny little tip that I was told about. To get rid of dry skin  lick your lips, then take some sugar and press it over the lips, rub your lips together, lick it off and viola smooth lips that taste yummy!  

(By the way licking your lips actually dries them out so try to avoid it!) 

Mulberry bags

As you probably know, Fashion Is My Drug is a huge fan of Mulberry bags. Looks like these cuties instantly became the most wanted handbags thanks to fashion icons like princess Katherine Middleton, Leighton Meester, Kate Moss, Blake Lively, Olivia Palermo and many more fashionistas, who are faithful worshipers of the Mulberry brand.

The most popular model is surely Mulberry Alexa bag, named after Alexa Chung, the new fashion's "it girl". Almost 10.000 names are on the waiting list to purchase it.

Here are some of the most popular Mulberry models.

Bling It Up

You have probably noticed that Fashion Is My Drug adores sparkling, shiny things. Flashy and elaborate jewelry pieces have always been trendy, but nowadays even phone cases, i-pads, furniture and nails are being embellished with dazzling jewels.

The question is: How much bling is too much bling?
If you don't want to look like rapper Lil Jon, we suggest you to have only one sparkling item, for example shoes. If you have a bling jacket, wear it with something neutral, like a little black dress we mentioned in one of our posts. Bling things hate each other so make sure they're never together on one person (this doesn't apply to Lady Gaga). :)
So, let's see some of our favorite jewelled items.

The Truth About Marilyn

“I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."

Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn Monroe was doubtlessly one of the most loved famous people of all time. Men wanted to be with her, women wanted to be her. The queen of pin-ups never stopped astonishing us. Even 50 years after her mysterious death, people still talk about her dramatic life, her imperfect but impressive beauty, her attitude that could break every single heart... She was an inspiration to many, in fact she still is. Famous and less famous women around the globe, such as Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Nicole Kidman and many, many more, are still trying to impersonate her, to act like her, to look like her. But we had only one Marilyn.

Fabulous watches

Your time is valuable, so make it stunning.

Watches have always been one of my favorite accessories and true objects of desire. A good-looking, quality watch can pretty much embellish your outfit and add flavor to your look. When it comes to these adorable fashion accessories, "less is more" isn't neccessarily true. These days women proudly wear massive, eye-catching bling watches.  However, we have rounded up some watches that will certainly take your breath away. Enjoy!

It's all about sequins

Do you like sequins? We adore them, and New Year's Evening is the perfect occasion to sparkle like the most beautiful star up in the sky.
The only rule when it comes to this trend is that you shouldn't wear more than one sequined item. So, if you're wearing a shiny skirt or pants, let your top be simple, and vice versa.

Take a look at our favored sequin pieces.

Wardrobe essentials

Do you sometimes feel like you have nothing to wear despite your stuffed wardrobe? Do you often buy items that you can't pair with anything? If your answer is "yes", you probably have a dysfunctional closet. It is missing some functional key pieces that allow you to mix, match and make basics for amazing outfits. So, what are the all-time must-have items?

 

1. A quality pair of designer jeans will last for years and it's very versatile. It can be worn with blazer and a tee for a casual look, also with high heels and elegant top for a night out... There are many possibilities!

2.Black blazer flatters all body types and looks great matched with 

any other essential. Excellent for office work and even casual outfits. 

3. Beige trench coat can be paired with jeans, dresses, skirts for either day or evening. The flattering classic belt tie is a feminine component as it cinches your waist and displays your figure. Once you've included beige, feel free to include colors.

4. Little black dress works with anything. For classy girls, a wrap dress will do. But you can also find it in all kinds of styles. It can be worn with pretty much everything else on this page, which confirms its status as a brilliant basic.

5. Black pumps. According to the laws of fashion, when something has been around for three seasons or more it has the right to declare itself a basic.  Black heels are the perfect choice for very occasion. 

6.Leather jacket allows you freedom when pulling together casual outfits. It gives that little edge to sugar-sweet outfits. It can be white, beige, brown or black, studded or simple, it's up to you.

7. White shirt. For whenever you need to wear something sophisticated and cute, a dressy shirt will never fail you. It's flexible to accessorize and can be paired with anything!

 

8. Large bag serves double duty as a briefcase during the week and a shopping bag on the weekend. 

9. Warm cardigan can be dressed up or down depending on the situation. You can pair it with dresses, jeans, skirts or dress pants, and it will always look perfect.  

10. Pearl necklace. Need we say more? For spicing up your outfit twirl it twice around your neck and enjoy the attention!
