December 2014: Global Street Fashion

December 2014: Global Street Fashion

 

NYC

This winter Manhattan is full of hats and my FAVE knee highs.

Day:

Night:

Obviously, after 7 years here, I adore this city.

 

Hong Kong
Round sunglasses are SO in.

Day:

When I was in Hong Kong, I saw some of the most beautiful women that I have ever seen.

Paris

Be bold with your colors and WEAR fur.

Day:

What a magical city.

 

London

Be masculine. Wear mens.

Day:

I'm not that big of a fan of London. Nothing to write.
 

The DL on Botox

Botox

1. I don't know why people don't talk about getting botox. What's the big deal? Talk about it. Ya, weirdos. 

2. It obviously makes you look younger but botox is meant as a "preventive care" option meaning you don't get botox when you are 70 yrs old and have deep wrinkles everywhere. You get it at the beginning of your wrinkles (for some 24, 28, 30, 34 whenever based on *your genetics) and maintain getting botox every 3 months so that in the future you do not have deep routed wrinkles but instead, have nice smooth skin.

3. There is no way around going every 3 months. If you don't get Botox, the wrinkles come back. Period.

4. It's a needle. It doesn't feel great but it's quick and is over in a *pinch. Done. (*Unless you get it all over the place, then it probably hurts. I only do my crows feet.) 

5. Get ready to empty your pockets. Again, again, not cheap. The best places range from $12 + per unit and even on people like me, who do only a few units its easily $200 a pop. 

 



BEFORE:

 I HATE this picture. Obviously, no filter. Jesus.

 

 

AFTER:

No Filter, same lighting.

The End.

 

 

 

The DL on Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash Extensions
 

1. Eyelashes only last 3 weeks - maybe 4 weeks (if you NEVER wear makeup). 

2. You need to comb them daily (yes, comb them). 

3. If you want them to last, you have to try to not wear mascara.

4. You have to not rub your eyes and no oily creams near your eyes either.
5. Get ready to empty your pockets. Again, not cheap. The best places range from $125 to $500 + and if you go cheap, they are not as good. 

BEFORE:

AFTER:

The DL on Hair Extensions

Extensions

 

1. They are a lot of work. When I say, high maintence, I mean HIGH maintence.

2. You need a special brush (wet brush).

3. You need to separate each extension every night.

4. You need to braid your hair every night to keep the extensions tight.

5. Get ready to empty your pockets because they are also EXTREMELY expensive.

 

BEFORE:

I got mine for length.I had long hair but I wanted extremely long, mermaid hair.



 

 

 

AFTER:

 

  

 

OVERALL:

The extensions enhanced my ombre and added the length that I wanted but the upkeep (even for me) has been way too intense.

Part 1: Birthday Style

Every girl has their own take on what to wear for her big birthday bash. I believe one can never go wrong with lots and lots of BLING. I think "VEGAS" every time my birthday rolls around. This year, I went with the following for make up and attire.

 

 

MAKE UP: MAC by Judy Chung of Bloomy's (NYC)

1. Ombrelip #nofilter

2. Major sparkles on the eyes

 

*I wanted a modern 1950s look*
