Geometrically Speaking...

Geometry.

I hear you asking, 'just what in the world does that have to do with fashion, or style?'

(Or anything else of relevance, for that matter.)

Oh, but it does. And here's why:

Anyone slightly enamored with fashion and the industry knows that New York Fashion Week, Fall 2014 is here, and in full swing.

Me, a true-to-life Fashionphile, I love getting a sneak peek at what's to come for the next season. As the shows are presented, I'm there (virtually speaking).

Fall 2014 trends are beginning to evolve, with shapes/prints being a major one.

Mara Hoffman's Fall 2014 line is a definite standout for shapes. Strangely enough, when I first saw it, I thought of geometry. 

Have a look, and you'll see what I mean:

 (triangles)

 (triangles)

(and yet, more triangles)

Pretty, right?

So NYFW Fall '14 is proving to be another reason to pay close attention in that advanced math class. Mastering geometry just may help you later to cut and create the perfect little something that'll make someone's Fall dreams come true.

I'd say things are shaping up perfectly.

Lots of Love, Light, & Style,

Pop Color Confession...

Doesn't Joan look beautiful?! 

I've always been drawn to a barely-there, fresh face with the ultimate 'pop' of lip color topping it all off.

My Confession; however: I usually look something like this (me, today)...

(Sans the camouflage cap, of course...it was a work thing, don't ask...)

...not exactly what I'd call a colorful 'pop' of anything, I know.

Fresh faced, yes. Colorful, not at all. 

My skin is a honey-colored brown and that's usually what I add to it in the form of cosmetics - brown with maybe a few rosy pinks.

Let's just say I'm a 'natural beauty'.

But given the truth that I admire a pretty, color-saturated lip, aaaannnd that we can still call this a 'new' year, I plan to try the look myself. Let's not call it a resolution though. More like an intention.

So with that intention set, I'll be on and poppin' before you know it. 

When I do, I'll be sure to post. For now, I'll leave you with a bit more inspiration for my experimental new look.

I'm goin' all in, so stay tuned Chicas!...

(GORGEOUS!!! - I think I'll try this one above...)

Lots of Love & Light,

Carla
