ALL ABOUT BEAUTY: The Happy Medium

All About Beauty

My personal style never stays stationary. I, like many, go through phases. One week I feel ultra girly and refuse to wear anything but dresses and lace. The next week, I am feeling totally tomboy, practically living in boyfriend jeans. This Fashionista proves that it doesn’t have to be one or the other. There is such a thing as a happy medium.

This Fashionista dons a black lace tunic that exudes confidence and femininity. Her dainty gold necklaces add an easy-layered style to her outfit. But who said she has to play all her cards ladylike? She turns it a touch tomboy with light wash denim and vintage lace-up leather boots. The contrast creates the perfect, happy medium.

And speaking of contrast, this Fashionista’s ombré 'do is one for the books. The ombré trend has been spotted everywhere from the red carpet to the blogosphere…and for good reason. There is something alluring about the ease of bleached-ends, aside from just an excuse to grow out your roots. This Fashionista keeps her ombré locks in stellar shape with Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil, applying a healthy dose before she blow-dries. Her loose curls make her overall look effortless yet stylish. This Fashionista stays simple when it comes to her make-up. She flaunts a fresh and neutral face, using Lancome Teint as her base and just a touch of Nars Orgasm Blush on her cheeks.

This fall, try playing a different hand. Rather than reaching for the predictable, think about mixing it up to create contrast. The reward could just be the happy medium.
