10 Ways To Become A Fashion Flare

Everyone loves to have great style. But have you ever thought that you would become a trend-setter? Here are 10 tips to lead you to success in the fashion world.

1. Any pair of jeans are fashionable and comfy. But if you buy designer jeans you could leave anyone speechless! Be creative and Bedazzle an old pair for fun!

2. A mineral-based cosmetic product is so awesome! It makes you happy and healthy-looking because minerals are good for your skin.

3. A wrap dress with a pair of sheer pantyhose can make you very stylish! Wrap dresses in pastel colors like lavender, spring green, petal pink and robin's egg blue are really nice in the spring.

4. The new Nars spring collection, Shanghai Lily, is the most dramatic new spring makeup. It looks good on almost all skin tones.

5. Any hoop earrings are wonderful.

6. Any jewelry with your birthstone will look very stylish.

7. Try to find a color that looks great on you. Then try to find a style of clothing that you like and looks good on you.

8. Accessorize wild size! Find a spacious purse or a pair of sterling silver stud earrings at the mall.

9. Ross Simons' watches are very beautiful and stylish.

10. Be creative and have fun!

The offer is good online only, while supplies last. I think I'm going to follow my own advice and buy a Nars Lip Gloss/Lip Stain Lip Duo, Nars The Multiple Stick, and Nars Oil Free Foundation. Then I can pack my beauty bag and head to...well, I'm not going anywhere this Spring Break, so I guess I'll head to the Nordstrom cafe to sip a latte and pretend I'm at the News Cafe in South Beach!
