They say you should wear your heart on your sleeve, but instead, I wore my sass on my shirt. Growing up, I had two pajama sets that were quite clearly my favorite. One in particular had a quote on the front that said, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so behold my beauty!” Even as a little girl, my sass levels were off the chart. And the greatest thing about being a sassy kid? You usually wind up being a sassy adult. Exhibit A: myself. Exhibit B: this rockin’ Fashionista. Just look at that hair—it’s so fierce, it rivals the reigning queen herself Rosie the Riveter. Having pioneered the hairstyle, Rosie was the staple of the factory working women during World War II. Notice the bandanna that is tied in a bow at her temple? Yeah, it’s a classic. Although this Fashionista may not be working in the factories, she is working this pretty girl, grunge style.
Instantly, your eyes are drawn to the bright plaid shirt this Fashionista has tied around her waist. Opting to tie it at the waist versus actually wearing the shirt gives the Fashionista a more laid back vibe. Next, your eyes find their way to her denim vest. Sometimes denim can be too harsh for a steaming hot summer day, but a rocker-approved vest not only lets your arms breathe but also lets you keep your street cred.
Just look at those pearly whites. You can’t help but want to smile back. Overall, this girl knows how to put pieces together to make you stop and look. But what keeps you looking? Keeping your eyebrows on fleek. Makeup is pivotal my darlings.
You’ve heard this term somewhere in the original Vine because you’re tech-savvy, in a meme because you never left Facebook or in real life because this is how people talk these days. Want to hear a secret? This perfect summer makeup choice is actually super easy. All you need is a little revamping to the classics. Grab a pencil, you’re going to want to remember this.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: No, not a standard number two pencil but an eyebrow pencil. This summer, play up your eyes with a smudged black eyeliner and penciled in eyebrow combo. As a sweet complement, apply tinted moisturizer and a pink lip to keep cool in the heat. Remember when people used to pluck and pluck? Yeah, me neither. Bold brows are here to stay this summer. Let your fleek flag fly.
