Protecting our skin is one of the best things we can do for it, along with drinking water and eating healthy, because the face and neck are the first places to show signs of aging.       In my last post, I shared I was working in cosmetics at Dior. I fell in love with their skincare's quality and attention t...

Life Update + Avasha Style  Hey everyone, I hope you all are hanging in there okay.   This is definitely a scary and unsure time in the world right now and the best thing we can do is stay calm and try to take life one day at a time.  I apologize for being absent, I was busy with work and I wasn't responsible enough to wake up earlier to make sure I wrote my blog posts.  I started a new position at Dillard's in cosmetics at Dior. I never thought of myself working in cosmetics because I love clothes more, but the makeup and hair you choose to go with your outfit is just as important. Just like how you wouldn't wear your hair down with a high neckline, you wouldn't go out with a bold lip and a smoky eye. I talked about this in my post titled "5 Rules" where you want to make sure you do one or the other.  I learned a lot, and I honestly had no clue as to how difficult learning product info is and how and why they are essential to specific skin needs.I ...

How to Style a White Blazer for Winter   The chic twist on the classic black blazer, the white blazer is in her own lane. The pop that white can provide for other colors is unmatched.

Every woman absolutely needs a white blazer in her wardrobe, just as much as the black blazer. The simplicity of the tailoring matched with the crisp white, you can put this over solids, prints, also mixed prints! Here I will give you three outfit ideas on how to style a white blazer.      A white blazer over a printed dress helps bring out the white base of the prints.

How to Style a Plaid Shirt  Does any other piece of clothing symbolize fall like a plaid shirt? Not at all. Make it casual or make it dressy, grab a PSL and let's go pumpkin picking!   A casual look is to wear the plaid shirt open over a graphic tee with jeans. My jeans are ripped and these are my personal favorite! You could wear booties with this look and make sure you cuff the bottoms of your jeans. You don't want to have the ends crumpled up over the top of the booties. * Plaid Shirt - Target, Graphic Tee - Guess, Jeans - American Eagle, Necklace - Banana Republic *   Another casual way but cute as well is to tie the shirt around your waist over a dress. This dress is more over-sized and is so easy to dress up or down. The shirt also helps give shape. You can wear knee-high boots with this and a long pea coat. * Dress - Loft, Plaid Shirt - Target, Necklace - Banana Republic *   An elevated look would be to wear ...

        How to mix prints Mixing prints is a great way to elevate your style and look uber fashionable. I know, you may think that mixing prints is hard, but I swear it's so easy. There is nothing wrong with a classic, white button-down and black blazer look, but if you want to give your outfit an extra boost then keep on reading!   The two main points to keep in mind are color and size. The color of the prints, and the size of the prints. Wearing monochrome colors is the easiest way to start. Then next is to think about the size of the prints. Prints can be leopard, stripes, hearts, floral, etc. You can mix the same print in an outfit, or you can mix the same colors and have different prints. The key is the same color or print.    *Outfits* 1. Top and skirt from Loft  2. Top from Target and skirt from Loft  3. Top from Brandon Thomas and skirt from Loft  4. Dress from Lauren James and cardigan from W...

5 Style Rules To Be Classy  The fashion world has made rules for years. Don't mix your metals, don't wear white after Labor Day, your bag and shoes must match. Fashion and style is all about expression, and while some rules are silly and outdated, there are some rules to follow to help you keep a certain standard of class.   1. Pick One or the Other. If you are showing off your legs, then cover up your chest. And vice versa. If you want to wear a smoky eye, then for-go the red lip. Having your legs and chest shown off does not give off a classy vibe. It makes you look cheap because you are revealing too much. No one wants that. * Romper from Pink Lily Boutique *   2. Pearls go with everything. Tee's, LBD's, classic button-up, one-shoulder top and printed blouses. Pearls are the epitome of sophistication, and can instantly elevate any outfit. If you want to go out in a black tee with jeans or leggings, throw a strand on or pearl studs, you are good to go. Pear...

3 ways to style a scarf   I love how fun and versatile scarves are. They can be added to a casual or glam outfit, accessorize the hair or hide the hair, and can add a girly touch to our bags. Here are 3 ways to style yours!   This is the Parisian style. This style is a particular favorite of mine because how elevated your look instantly becomes. I like this best with a blazer and button up shirt. You can stick the edges inside your shirt and look so polished. This knot can also be used casually with a striped shirt and skinny jeans to make a casual outfit more pulled together. Also, because this style is a little more snug around your neck, you are kind of forced to keep your head up and maintain great posture, which helps out in the long run and is a plus! * Scarf is vintage Christian Dior *     Secondly is a more popular style of wrapping your scarf around your purse handle. This way not only helps preserve the lift of the leather, als...
