Four Ways to Fabulous: Clotheslines

Clotheslines are perfect for hanging up holiday cards, ticket stubs, and even pictures. It's a great way to organize mementos and have them on display at the same time.

Celeb Signature: Nicole's Head Scarves

Nicole Richie is my fashion idol. I constantly look to her to find creative ways to wear my accessories. Nicole's signature fashion piece is a scarf and she has be known to wear them with anything. One of my favorite ways she plays around with her look is by changing up her scarves that she wears. Here are some ways Nicole wears her scarves as a headband.
First off, this hair design is my absolute favorite! Start off by taking 3/4 of your hair and putting it in a high bun. Tie your scarf around your head. Then take your bun out and tousle the layers over the scarf. Split the section of hair over your scarf in half and loop it through a half ponytail. It's quick and simple but it looks like it took you hours!
This is the classic Nicole look: skinny jeans, flats, big sunglasses, and a scarf tied around her wavy locks. I love the colors on this scarf because it turns an ordinary jeans and t-shirt into a chic ensemble. The gold bangles also add a touch of style to her outfit :)

Nicole has the whole hippie-vibe down pat. The maxi dress is a little plain to me but the rich blue hue of her scarf is so pretty! Throw on a big pair of sunglasses and some gold jewelry and you'll be looking great in no time!

Stylish at the beach?Definitely! Nicole adds flair to her basic bikini with a bold print scarf and trendy sunglasses. Here is the ultimate glamorous beach goddess! I am dying to recreate those waves that seem perfectly flowing out from her metallic scarf. With the previous bathing suit, Nicol chose a colored scarf with her neutral suit. Here she chose a neutral scarf with a colored suit. I think its a great idea to keep one thing neutral so you look like a modern hippie. :)
Again we see a t-shirt with a scarf and sunglasses, but what makes this outfit different from the rest is that the sunglasses are the center of attention and the scarf is just a fabulous accessory. (Note that the sunglasses are a neutral color but the size of them are not overpowered by the smaller scarf.)
By changing it up and wearing the scarf along her hairline, Nicole successfully makes each outfit a tad more unique than the last.

J.Lo's Look- Hold It, Don't Drop It


I love Jennifer Lopez's looks in her music videos. She always has something super glam but totally still her style! The heavy liner softend with the sliver and white shadow is beautiful. Matching your jewelry to your makeup- what a great idea! I am going to try that one! The white under her eyes before the black liner is a great trick to making her eyes look bigger as well. The nude lips (above) really complement the eyes and make them just pop! The silver lips (below), however, should never been seen anywhere in the real world. To tone down her silver look, draw a much thinner line and gently flick it out at the ends. There is white shadow around her eyes to make the black look more intense, but this step should be skipped if you want a lighter version of her eye makeup. Load up on the mascara and top it all off with a nice bronzer and a light lip.




Onto the nails, I'm not sure I would ever wear this metallic color. They look great on her, but c'mon, she's J.Lo! :) As for her jewelry, I am in love with her cross ring (top). It is simple and classy but unexpected. I am always a fan of big silver hoops and Jen puts her own twist on them by playing with texture and size.
