Don’t think you have to abstain from wearing jeans when you want to look glamorous, you simply have to make sure you do it right. Here are a few stylish tips to make certain you do it properly. Make sure that your jeans are a dark wash. They project an air of elegance and sophistication that the lighter shades of denim do not. Plus the bonus of it being the most flattering shade out there! A longer cut that you wear with heels will scale it up a bit as well. Plus it will make your legs look longer and therefore your body look leaner. Glam up the look with some kind of shimmer or sparkle in your top. Choose a metallic that blends well with your skin (you should know what metallic’s work for you! You can find that out through a Color Analysis) or select an embellished top with a little bling. Top off the look with a chunky bracelet or statement earrings. Fore-go a necklace in this outfit; it would be too much with the bold top. Finish with playful shoes, ones that you would choose to wear with your formal attire. Shoes set the mood of an outfit, so stepping it up with a glamorous pair will take your outfit to the dressy level you desire. Have fun with the look and enjoy that you can wear jeans to almost any event!

Want a quick update to your look? An easy way is through accessories and updating a central accessory worn everyday is a good choice, such as your watch. There are some recent trends in watches that are a lot of fun. My favorite has to be the use of ceramic. It lends such a chic look to any outfit. And you don’t have to stick with your basic white either, there is a myriad of colors available from black, to shades of brown, even hot pink if you desire. Don’t worry that it will be too delicate for everyday use, new technology has made it much more durable and scratch resistant.
Another great option in watches that is unique but very on trend is rose gold watches. This metallic shade looks great on a larger chunky, menswear inspired watch since it is not as intense as yellow gold. But don’t be afraid to buy it in any style, a feminine piece in rose gold sets off a romantically modern look. Its color is low-key and blends nicely with a casual or dressier fare, so it works nicely for an everyday watch as well.
Try one of these watches to bring your look simple sophistication, or better yet, try both!

Ink
Okay, so you are sitting at work, pen in hand, you make a quick move and mark on your new white pants. It’s happened to us all. The trick to stopping it from becoming a permanent stain is to keep it from setting. Grab the hairspray from your purse and douse it good. It will look like you made it worse, but giving it a squirt will keep it from settling into the fibers. Then immediately throw it in the washer when you get home.
Red wine
We love a glass of red wine and the best part is we can say we are doing it for our health! But 
sometimes if we are not careful, our new silk blouse may enjoy a drop or two. If that happens you need to break out the white wine. White wine counteracts red wines staining properties. Then I guess you will have an excuse to drink a little white wine too!

Most of you know that I have a skin care routine that I swear by. My skin was a mess in the past, a combination of oily with dry patches, wrinkles were beginning to define themselves plus I still would get an outbreak of acne. But since I have begun this great morning and night routine, my skin has improved exponentially. It’s not perfect, but the texture is way better, I have no dry patches, and makeup smooth’s on easier. Plus my breakouts have decreased. It has worked better to improve my skin than microderm abrasion treatments. I share the steps and products needed for this routine with my makeover clients and at my makeup consultations. Since it would take way too long to go into it all here, I will let you in on just one of the secret weapons in this age defying routine – safflower oil.
Our skin ages in part because as you get older your skin becomes dryer, right? Well, safflower oil counteracts that, giving your skin the perfect drink of moisture to keep wrinkles at bay by acting as a protective barrier to prevent water from leaving your skin. It has the same great properties that olive oil has yet no odor.
I apply it every night before bed. It will go on greasy, but don’t be put off by that. Your skin will soak it up and your face will feel great in the morning.
The other great thing about safflower oil is – it’s cheap! I buy it at drugstores under the label of Vitamin E Oil, which if you read the ingredients has a base of safflower oil with added vitamin e. It only costs about $10 a bottle. And don’t be shy about using it on the rest of your body as well. It really helps dry winter skin, relieving that nasty itch. I especially like to use it on my knees and elbows, wrinkle spots that begin to show when you are over forty.
When you try safflower oil, test it on a patch of skin first. It is non-irritating, but it’s always a good idea to make sure it won’t cause irritation to any existing skin conditions.

There are really no rules to wearing a broach except to not limit them to your 
winter wool coat. Try something more exciting like a sweater or dress. On a sweater you can make the broach the center of attention by placing it in the middle of the v neckline or place a few (no more than three) off to the side near the bottom of the collarbone. When wearing a dress a broach looks fantastically elegant when worn on the waistband, either in the center or off to the side. Most of all have fun with the look. Just don’t overdo it and keep the rest of your outfit and make-up simple.
