M.Mariska Must Haves For The Summer

Ok Ladies, I know that I been  'Lax on the blog lately. Forgive me. But I promise you guys I got the hottest and latest for the summer. Some Of you might be clueless as to some of the must haves for the summer. Well Ya girl got the juice for you right here. Here is a break down for you Fashionistas out there:

10. Bright Nail Polish and Bright Lip Stick id a deff attention getter. You need not be following any of the trends as long as you have some of the basics. And this is a great way to make an entrance into a room.


9. Hip Sunglasses. Whether you go bright or classic. You can't ever go wrong by choosing to opt for this trend. Sunglasses are in almost every season. Not just summer.

8. Sun Tan/ Sun Block is a STAPLE in the summer. this protects your greatest wealth. your skin. It is very important for us to take care of our skin. It's not only what gets us noticed first, but it creates a lasting impression among the people we interact within a daily basis.

7. A Cropped t-shirt. Now Not every one can pull off this look with a bare midriff. If you are a slender woman free of scars and stretch marks on you abdomen, then by all means go right ahead and stay ahead of the game and rock this chic invention. However; if you are a full figured woman, there is no reason for you to practice this trend w/o a tank top under. Sorry to say ladies but if this is you out there, you are a fashion fail.

6. Get you a Rockin' Romper. Naturally, color is what's in. However, so are tribal inspired prints. If you want to follow the trends but also want to be different and roll against the grain, opt for something Sequined, Denim, Tribal, or even Linen. Now denim is more so common for this trend. But sequin trims gives any romper that extra uumph. Of course linen is another good choice. It's light and airy. It will keep that air flow going. Initially keeping you ventilated this season.


5. Sundresses are where its at. While baby doll dresses are cool, Maxi Dresses are so much fun. Being hip and in style seems like the best way to go, but with this dress comfort ability is the IT FACTOR. making sure that you are comfortable above all else is an even better fashion statement than something your pinching and puling off of your body.


4. Bathing suits!- While we all love going to the beach to cool out and relax or catch up with friends, often times we get the suit confuzzled. some women forget that they are supposed to be wearing their sizes, and oftentimes purchase things that are either too small or too big. nobody like to have their privates either exposed or flailing all over the place due to a lapse of judgement in choosing a swim suit. BUY YOUR SIZE LADIES.


3. Chunky Bags. There isn't much to say about this trend. Bags are an accessory every season. But for this season  in particular, patent leather finish in a variety of colors will get you those brownie points when it comes to fashion. It's not that hard ladies. Now while I don't condone the falsies, if you can't afford a designer bag, make sure you get a decently priced hang bag or tote. You will still be hip. So don't be afraid to go on the cheap.

2. Be a "techie." Know your stuff when it comes to technology. If you are in the market for buying a new gadget, always make sure you do your research. Because you will have found that lack of information an make you make the wrong decisions. So always be aware of your choices before you leap ahead and get something you will ultimately regret.

And Last But Not Least....

1. Perfume.  Perfume. Perfume. Along with looking good this season, smelling good is another steal. Nine times out of ten, this will most likely get you noticed over any accessory or outfit you have put together.

These are some sure shot ways to get you noticed this summer. So as long as you are all on board, we can all enjoy your summer vacation and send it off with a bang.

STYLE SPOTLIGHT- Gemela Amor for Coco & Breezy

  

When we think of the word twins, we often times associate them with being identical make- ups of one common entity. However, taking the term twins into consideration when it comes to celebrity twin designer/ stylists, identical does not match their inherent style. Although they were quote on quote "cut from the same cloth" the twins known as Coco and Breezy are anything but. C reating a buzz and blazing the industry with their funky and edgy style,these girls have been making a name for themselves. Gracing the covers and spreads of several magazines and showcasing their talents via fashion shows and photoshoots, these girls ain't nothing to play with. If you's still not sold, here is living proof via Gemela Amor for Coco and Breezy:

Eminem & Rihanna Perform Live in Los Angeles!

Mr. Marshall Mathers has been yoyo-ing on the music scene for years. He will produce a monster record and before you know it he will fall right back into hiatus again. But his latest appearance on the music scene has been sending fans into a tail spin. The self proclaimed White Boy Of Rap Music has done it again. I know I'm not the only person that loves his music and that has been following his career over the years. And since we all love live concerts, here is a treat courtesy of Mr. Mathers and Rihanna via LA.

M.Mariska Spring 2010 Collection

Trend Spotting


Looking out your window right now, you possibly thinking that this so isn't spring time in New York. The scenery is dank and dismal and no one wants to venture outside to enjoy the day. Despite the weather conditions there are many ways we can still have a good time outdoors today and through out the week. For those of you who like to go out and have a good time and soak up some fresh air, wihtin the coming week there are some things tou can take advantage of. But before we jump ahead of ourselves, lets start with today. Spring is here and while some of you might not have a clue as to what to wear, here are a few tips to looking your best on even he dismal of days like today.

Start off simple ladies. Work with what you got. Look into your closet, do the once over and work from there. If you are going into the office today, a nice blazer always works. But you have to know how to dress it up. To make it look fashionable and chic. One way of doing that is to either wear it with some cropped slacks or jeans and a plain top. Plain being free of designs or anything extravigant. At the same time, you want to make a statement. So go for a pop of color that compliments your complexion. If you blazer is pastel or an earth tone, going for a warmer color would be ideal and vice versa if its's a cool color.  Wearing jeans to the office totally depends on the type of job environment you work in.

If you prefer to wear a skirt on a day like today, please be sure to wear one standard color tights or leggins. since its not so warm out, you want to respect and protect. for the point being that this is also cold and flu weather. Being a sick fashionista in the office is not whats hip. Now to pull this look together for an complete head to toe  look, some nice accessories will work fine. However it also depends on your level of comfortability. while some women were born to wear heels, others aren't. But have no fear, just because you not a fan of heels, doesn't mean you cant still look fashionable. Pairing this outfit with some nice ballet flats will work just fine.

One important fact.....always make sure you give yourself the once over in the mirror before you leave for your day. nobody likes to look a mess. once you have done that.....voila.....you have successfully transformed something oh so simple into something oh so chic. And there you have it, The M.Mariska simple steps to keeping up with the trends.

At Ease Soldier.....
