I love exfoliators. I love how they make your skin feel new.
(Because that’s what they’re intended to do).

I tried this face buffer by Grassroots and fell in love on the first try.
I followed the directions exaclty, and it worked.
My skin felt SO soft instantly.
I proceeded to make everyone I know try mine at least once.
Okay, only once, I didn’t want to share TOO much.

A lot of people will exfoliate many times a week, but that’s not how you should do it.
They’re really only meant to be used once or twice a week. That’s what this Sweeping Success recommends also. Exfoliators are too harsh to be used like daily face washes. I learned this by trial and error a while ago.

Smartskincare.com says this about it ;
“Except for people with extremely oily skin, daily exfoliation is not a good idea. Your goal is to remove the dead cells from the skin surface. It takes at least a few days for a sizeable amount of dead cells to accumulate. If you exfoliate more often than that, you may be removing too many living cells, increasing the chance of irritation and skin damage. ”

So, my advice to you; by this face buffer, follow the instructions, use it twice a week.

I love boots.

Brown, black, gray. Straps, buckles, suede.

Boots are popular this time of year!

They look good with leggings, skinny jeans,  regular jeans, skirts, shorts….

Everything.

I prefer the suede Those are kind of insane, but I like them for some reason.

Love these. I almost bought some exactly like this the other day.

If you’re like me, and don’t always want to completely wash your face to take your makeup off

(although you should, I should! ), then you definitely should invest in eye makeup remover.

Bare Escentuals usually makes pretty natural products. This one isn’t really, so if you’re looking for that it might not be the best for you.

BUT, it does really work! 

It’s not as oily as most eye makeup removers are either. 

Not too expensive either.

I like it. Try it!

I recently went to a funeral, and I was not looking for fashion trends there, but I noticed at least 8 girls wearing high waisted skirts.

I’ve seen them elsewhere too, all over Atlanta.

Here are some favorites.

I really like the second one. The high-waisted skirt with the tights looks so good. 

It’s getting pretty cold too, so that’s actually doable!

There is always something crazy that happens at the VMAs, most of the time having to do with Kanye West.
But let’s not get into that.

One thing that’s always fun about the show is seeing what the celebrities are wearing.
There’s always a trend, and occasionally the accidental matching of two celebs.

This year there was a LOT of little black dresses, and a lot of silver.

The little black dress is a classic, and every girl wears one at some point, and every girl should.
There were good and bad.

Kara DioGuardi looked gorgeous, Lauren Bosworth looked classy, and Amanda Bynes looked cute.
Not a fan of Solange Knowles’, Nelly Furtado’s, or Nicky Hilton’s dresses though.
Nicky Hilton looks a bit like a dominatrix.

The silver dresses were a lot more fun, and bold.

Leighton Meester looked gorgeous, Kristin Cavallari looked great, Alicia Keys looked stunning as usual, and Taylor Swift looked beautiful.
Usually, I love Katy Perry’s choices, but this was not a good one.
Poor Shakira and Pink wore the same dress. I love the dress, but it looks better on Shakira.

Love award shows!

If you’re like me, and get bored of straight hair, then you probably enjoy trying products like this. 

I personally like the messy scrunched look, and Catwalk’s Frisky does it.

If you’re looking for curls, well, it doesn’t really do that… maybe curl in first?  

It does make your hair wavy though!

The fact that it smells pretty good doesn’t hurt, either.

I like it!

Try it out! 

They will change your life.

Well, at least the way you feel about doing your makeup… 

I don’t think we have any on the Happy Way Fashion website yet,                                                                        but you can find them at beauty stores and department store, until we get some!  

This stuff is amazing, I tell you. I didn’t used to really wear makeup to work, because makeup NEVER stayed on my eyes. Now, I wear eyeshadow, because it stays. All. Day.                                                            Not to mention, it makes the eyeshadow colors much brighter!

I use Urban Decay’s, but pretty much every makeup line has it.

So all you ladies should definitely invest in some primer! 

Extra Strength Holding Spray definitely holds!

The first time I used it this is what I did…

Made my hair look insane/wavy, sprayed it with the holding spray, put it in a ponytail, and went to work.

When I came home 7 hours later and took my hair down, it looked just as insane.

It didn’t flatten out or anything, it was still ridiculously curly.

I love this stuff. It works.

Just make sure you don’t spray too much in one spot, or there will be white stuff in your hair.

(Someone is special, and didn’t think about this. )

You can buy it at www.happywayfashion.com, as well as tons of other Bumble & Bumble products!

She’s definitely one of my favorite designers, if not my favorite. She’s unique and funky.

(In case you haven’t noticed, I do like “unique” clothing and accessories.)

She has awesome clothes, bags, shoes jewelry, and even perfumes (that you can purchase on www.happywayfashion.com).

You can find her stuff in malls and boutiques, or online. Celebrities love her. We love her.

She uses a lot of different patters in her clothing, you won’t find anything boring in her line.

It’s all very girly, too!  :)

Here are a couple things that are currently on her website that I love/want.

Katy Perry definitely has a very retro style.

Some of her fashion choices remind me of Lady Gaga. 

Katy’s got a much more classic, girl-next-door look though.

But provocative and sexy at the same time.  

I think she is the reason hot pants are back.

(I’m a fan of those. Might write about them later!)

She likes those bangles apparently!  

Retro swimsuit! 

She’s gorgeous! Travis McCoy is a lucky man.

I love Bangles. They are fun. They are en vogue.You see them everywhere now. For a girl it is absolute fun and you can really get creative with them maybe to match a colorful dress, earrings, handbag or anything you can think of.
If you’re a female that doesn’t own any, I suggest going to the mall and buying some!

I think bangles are timeless.

Everyone’s wearing bright red lipstick now. 

Some can pull it off, some can’t. I’ll post some pictures, you can decide.

I personally love the pale skin/dark hair/red lipstick combo, but it’s not for everyone I suppose. 

I’m not brave enough to wear it very often at all. 

But there is something about red lipstick that instantly makes a girl feel pretty! 

I should give it a try more often… maybe. 

I haven’t gotten a chance to go downtown Atlanta and take pictures of hot outfits, that will be next time hopefully!

However, I’ve gone shopping a couple times in the past few days, and seen a LOT of long, flowy dresses and skirts. On women, and on the racks!

So, I looked at a few Atlanta Boutiques online, and found some.

These are from Fab’rik.

www.fabrikstyle.com

I just got the Giovanni Natural Mouse Air-Turbo Charged. Giovanni is an organic brand, so this mousse is almost all natural! Not only does it smell really good, but a little really does go a long way.

It actually holds, too.

You can get it at Target, Walmart, and most other drugstores.

It’s only about 8 dollars.

It’s swimsuit time! One of the big trends in 2009 Swimwear is bold, bright, and/or retro patterns! And of course animal print!

Monokinis became very popular last summer in 2008, but I think we’re going to see even more of them this year!

I love the retro patterns.
Time to go shopping for a new one!

I think so!

Lady Gaga definitely has one of the most unique styles of all the popular celebrities right now. Her style is original, funky, sexy, abstract, futuristic, and VERY bold. She pulls it all off so well though!

I think we’re going to be seeing a lot more people dressing similarly.

Like her music or not, she is so daring when it comes to fashion!
