MY thoughts

Over the last couple of months we've had some NYC sample sale fever hit Los Angeles. 260SampleSale and Eclipse have recently started renting out empty retail spaces in the Beverly Hills area. So you might think is this the traditional Los Angeles sample sale you're used to that has ridiculously low prices? The answer is no but their strategy is smart and it's working. They bring in high end brands such as Sandro, Maje, Philipp Lim, Zadig & Voltaire, Kooples and others. I did some research and went ahead and spoke to the employees at both companies.

When it comes to weddings we all know some people tend to freak out and start booking all sorts of appointments for hair, make up, alterations etc. But, if we all take a nice long breathe and  realize that we are just as capable doing it ourselves life becomes much simpler :) You then have a choice of getting all the beauty done or doing it yourself. First step would be to do some research and figure out the style and look you are going for which should always work with your dress, shoes and jewelry as in the end you want to look like the complete package. The colors of your eye shadows should normally match with the color of your dress same goes for lipstick. Your nail polish should also play a role in your outfit. For this particular one I went with red to match my lips. Now preparing for the big day would also consist of maybe doing some facial cleansing and exfoliating to close your pores so that make up goes on smoothly.
