Who Is Your Biggest Style Inspiration?

November 2, 2009 at 7:00 AM by Cafe MicheleZ - Comments (7)

wedding 1970s

My mom and dad on their wedding day.

When it comes to looking fabulous, I look to my mom. She's 60-something, as gorgeous as ever, and she has the best style, always has.

I remember missing the bus as a kid and she'd have to drive us to school. She wouldn't leave the house without her lipstick. So maybe her hair was a mess and she had on PJs under her coat, but her lips were perfectly painted red.

Another woman in my life who had amazing style was my aunt Eileen. She too always looked gorgeous. I remember her hair being frosted in the 80s and I thought it was just the most glamorous look. She was like Farrah Fawcett meets Lauren Bacall.

There are of things in the house that can make our hair look good -- and I don't just mean hair products

Sadly, though, cake is not one of them...unless you are as cute as brighteyesbryar's daughter. Then you can get away with just about anything.

I've got a homemade hair recipe to get rid of frizz and all you need is some white vinegar -- and a touch of honey for a little something extra.

Skin Envy: Who I Admire Most

October 26, 2009 at 7:00 AM by Cafe MicheleZ - Comments (2)

washing faceI look at celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Naomi Watts and wish I had flawless skin like they do.

Then I think...is it cosmetics? I did meet Michelle Williams once and without a stitch of makeup on has the most perfect skin I've ever seen. (She's gorgeous.)

Most of my friends have great skin, too. I've seen them fully done up with makeup and also without and I'll admit, I am slightly envious.

I wish I had better skin!

This Plus Size Model Is Hungry

October 23, 2009 at 7:00 AM by Cafe MicheleZ - Comments (15)

Crystal Renn Hungry

Photo from Amazon

Crystal Renn is gorgeous. At size 12, she's considered plus size, but when she was a size 0 she was anorexic.

Blame the modeling industry, society, lack of self-esteem -- weight issues are a huge problem not just for teens, but can affect a woman throughout her whole life.

Crystal shows that she didn't have to be a thin model to have success.

I know one of the arguments about skinny models is that they look better in clothes. But I don't think that applies to Crystal. She looks good in (and out) of anything. She does have great proportions.

You've carved the pumpkin, maybe even made a pie out of it, but isn't there always some pumpkin bits left over?

All you need are five tablespoons and you can make a pumpkin facial that will hydrate your skin.

It's so good you'll want to eat some...and it's all natural so you actually can.

I love super dark nail polish in the fall -- either a deep blood red or even black. And then I saw Dashing Diva's Nails on the Go press-ons and loved the look, too.

If you don't want to go all out and use the design on every finger, you can even just put one on one nail on each hand and paint your nails a coordinating color.

All would look good with the other nails painted black, but you can also do a deep red for the black ones, and a pale pink for the one with the heart on it.
