Choosing Your Fashion Style!
by EL Gray    March|2017  #Fashion


Nothing to wear?  Ask yourself what message do I want to send to the world?  Chic, Trendy or Classic!!

I was shopping with a friend recently and realized how much deciding on your personal style really helps when getting dressed.  My friend is more fashion forward and chose labels & current looks that she recognized - making her trendy, while I chose by cuts, colors & fabrics that complimented my body type yet had an extraordinary touch about them - marking me chic.  Both of us chose a few classic pieces that could mingle in with our other choices and would stay in style through many seasons, like a denim jacket or khaki skirt.

Now more than ever we have so much room to wear whatever we choose without the fashion police giving us a ticket. But when your staring at a full closet, being able to wear anything does not help you to make a choice.  But choosing what message you want to send to the world through your clothes can help you narrow down your closet and make great fashion choices. 
30 pounds ago my message was to just hide from the world so baggy shirts and stretch pants were my daily choice. But now that I have found my waist and have decided to try and be fashionable, I want to send a message that I am “chic” – What I think is the look of an elegant & fashionable women’s boutique owner and/or a mimic of chic celebrities. Not sure what your personal style is. Think of your favorite celebrities and what looks they are often captured in & check out my "3 Fashion Styles: What R You" quick tips found below.

3 Fashion Styles: What R YOU
1.      Classic- looks that transcend time and trends that can be worn in most situations. Crisp white  J. Crew tailored shirt and black belted GAP khakis w/ flats or 1" pump.  People: Michelle Obama, Kate Winslet, Natalie Portman, Audrey Hepburn.
2.      Trendy- modern & mainstream looks, keeping up with the latest labels and current fashion trends. Rhinestone cold shoulder top with slashed denim Lucky brand jeans and over the knee boots. People: Kardashian’s, Solange Knowles. J. Lo
3.      Chic - elegant and stylishly fashionable looks, mixing classic and trendy in a way that flatters them personally. Crisp tailored shirt over a solid color shell top with khaki cargo pants rolled up to mid calf worn with Vera Wang Pumps. People: Oprah, Lala Anthoney, Posh

YOUNGER SKIN

Just How Old Are You?
by EL Gray    Feb|2017  #Skincare #Beauty


skincare lancome beautyA question I am asked quite often as I interact with people, especially someone from another race. My African, European & American Indian skin really baffles them when I mention my 3 son’s being away at college. But alas I am here to confess, while I do believe (and science proves) that my clear forehead is partially due to genetics, I use skin creams.  Those magic concoctions found in pretty little jars with fantastic names like Regeneris & Hope promise youth and beauty, and I pray they deliver. The miracle creams that have prime real estate on my vanity right now are from Lancome. The Absolue Premium Bx which promises to replenish and rejuvenate my skin’s appearance while recapturing the qualities of younger-looking skin: firmness, elasticity, and clarity.  (It had me at Rejuvinate) And the Absolue Eye Premium Bx promises smoother and more luminous eye contours. “Within 4 weeks, see fine lines and wrinkles visibly reduced, feel firmer skin… visibly rejuvenated.”  Hold on to your ponytails ladies – I noticed a difference within 3 days. 
Yes Mam 3 days!!  Needless to say the Absolue Premium Bx is now my new beauty crack.   Now as much as I love it – I do not love the $168 face & $108 eye price tag and will need to replenish my supply during the stores gwp (gift with purchase) or find a sponsor.  As for purchase advice, I think you should go to a couple of cosmetic counters and sample the goods or ask older relatives who have youthful skin use. Also read your skin’s reaction. I heard great things about Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme (Anti-Aging) cream, but I had a lot of redness and fine bumps after using it and gave up after 3 days. 


3 Things to Look for in Skin Cream according to Dr. Perricone
1.      Alpha Lipoic Acid - one of the most powerful anti-aging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatories available.
2.      Fat-soluble Vitamin C ester -this essential nutrient’s full potential as an anti-aging agent.
3.      Neuropeptides - improves the appearance of skin's resilience, tone and texture, while decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
