My Wishlist from Pre-Fall 2012

Some jackets from the Pre-Fall 2012 caught my eye. Unfortunately I can only fantasize about them at this point.

The Brow Difference

Growing up, I didn’t notice people’s eyebrows and I didn’t pay much attention to mine either; I just left them as they were… until my aunt got me to thread my eyebrows for the first time. The difference was so clear! So I began to pay more attention. Getting compliments about my eyebrows is a reminder that people notice even the seemingly little things. When I leave them to grow crazy I definitely don’t look as nice as when I take care of them. Now I consider my brows to be my best feature :D

On another note, I’m still trying to figure out how to deal with my eyelashes. Rather than an eyelash curler I think I need an eyelash straightener. My lashes are so curly, I can’t stand them. It makes it so hard to even wear falsies since they are very different from my natural lashes. I’m yet to figure out how to deal with this without doing anything too crazy.

Please, Tuck Your Toes In

I cannot dispute the fact that Viola Davis looked stunning at the Golden Globes, but when she began to walk the red carpet I immediately noticed her misplaced little toe as she opened her slit to show off the dress, and perhaps her nice toned legs. However the shoes did not work perfectly for her simply because of that peeping toe. That goes without saying it is imperative to put as much thought to the shoes and how/whether it fits perfectly as the dress we wear.

These Legs Are Made For Strutting

Once upon a time, I didn’t have the courage to wear heels despite the fact that I loved them so much. I felt I was tall enough already and any additional inches would make me look awkward. But I wanted to wear them so bad, so I would google tall celebrities to see how they looked in their heels. And they looked fabulous so I’m thinking I can work it too. And with the occasional encouragement from my friends I began to make ‘bold’ shoe purchases.  From being scared to even purchase 2 inch heels, today I own up to 5 inch heels. And I’m grateful for my height. I love it and see it as a blessing, not a curse. I think my height actually plays a major role in eliciting compliments from strangers, so I can’t complain. To all my fellow ‘tallies,’ work with what you got, don’t be scared to put on those heels and turn heads.

*Side note: For the longest time I kept telling people I was 6 feet, until I went for my physical last year and the nurse measured my height. She told me I was about 5’9. I asked her to measure my height again because I’ve always told people I was 6 feet. She laughed! So apparently I’ve been lying about my height all along. Lol.

I got the shoes from Aldo last spring. Not the most comfortable, but beauty is pain especially when it comes to walking in heels.

 

Blake Lively was one of my inspirations when I was struggling with whether or not to wear high heels. Maybe I’m slightly taller than her, but she seems on the tall end nonetheless. She’s never afraid to rock her heels and show off her hot legs. And she always looks stunning!
