Hello Spring

Happy weekend everyone!! I hope y'all are enjoying the enjoying the weekend as much as I am:).

Ahh...Spring how I love thee♥! Now that it's Spring is officially here, be prepared to see more colorful looks on my blog:). When I think of Spring, I think of combining bright colors and floral patterns together to create a look . For today's outfit, I paired a green and blue Prabal Gurung for Target sweater with tights that had the same color scheme and added orange accessories for a pop of color. Hope you enjoy the look!

Kikistyles Nail of the Week: Magnetic Glitter

Out of all the nail polish trends out there, I have to say that the magnetic nail polish is my favorite! Magnetic nail polishes are made with a unique formula that create patterns on the nail using a magnet. Using a magnet helps to form the wave pattern that is secretly hidden to create a nice and fun 3d design:). For today's nail of the week, I decided to base the color scheme around Nail Inc Magnetic Polish called House of Parliament, which is a purple nail polish with black waves. To complete the nail look, I used Nicole by OPI I've Got Bieber Fever, Essie Licorice and OPI Divine Swine. Enjoy!

Primary Colors

The weather in Miami has been so amazing lately! It starts off by being cool in the morning and warms up in the afternoon. There is still a nice cool breeze during the day that keeps the sun from being too hot. This is one of the main reasons why I love Spring!

I have to say that this was one of my favorite photo shoot to date because of the outfit! Incorporating bright colors is a fun way to make your outfit stand out. Vibrant colors and colorful floral patterns are great fashion statements and they help to broadens your fashion horizon. For today's outfit, I decided to pair the three primary colors together to create this very fun colorful, vibrant look. Red, white and blue tend to look a bit patriotic so to break up that theme, I added a yellow bag and flats and a colorful scarf to create another Spring inspired look. Enjoy!

Spring Time

Hello loves,
With Spring right around the corner, I wanted to create a fashion post highlighting the bright colors of Spring. Recently, I went to TJMaxx to update my Spring wardrobe and came across this light knit sweater and brightly colored butterfly scarf (both on clearance!) and decided to create an outfit around it. This sweater/scarf combo is perfect for the cool temperature that you can expect this time of year and a great way to bring in Spring. To complete the look, I paired the combo with green wedges and a yellow handbag to create a fun Spring look:). Enjoy!

Essie: Where's My Chauffeur

Hey loves,

I have another nail polish review for you guys. Today, I am reviewing Essie's Where's My Chauffeur  This nail polish is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! Where's My Chauffeur is described on Essie's website as an "Opulent Turquoise". Opulent, as defined by The Free Dictionary,  means to be characterized by rich abundance.

This nail polish is part of Essie's Winter Collection 2012 and is a must have in my book. It's a very pretty Tiffany Blue or Robin Egg Blue color that is bright bold color and looks great on all skin tones.  The application was great as it only took two coats and it didn't go on streaky. Topped it off with Orly Sec'n Dry top coat to complete the manicure.

I hope you guys get a chance to try out this color out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Beauty School Dropout

Hey loves,

You ever walk into a store and see a shirt or a pair pants that you know you can't leave without....well, that's exactly how I felt about this shirt! Recently, my husband and I went out of town to celebrate his and my really good friend's birthday. Since we were going to be there for a couple days, we decided to check out Forever 21 to do a little bit of shopping. I love shopping at Forever 21 because they tend to always have unique pieces at reasonable prices. While there I came across this amazing top and from the moment I saw it, I knew it had to be mine. Looking at this shirt, it reminded me of a scene in the movie Grease where Frenchy was visited by a guardian angel after she decided to drop out of beauty school. Grease is one of my all time favorite musical movies and I felt that this shirt represented that scene really well. This shirt is very unique and it has a lot of character, which made it a perfect addiction to my closet:).

Now that the big project is complete, I can focus now on this:)!

Today's makeup tutorial is based on a new color tattoo that I recently picked up from CVS. The Maybelline color tattoo is called Electric Blue and it's a vibrant and pigmented blue eye shadow base color.
