Fashion Fridays! Who says glasses have to be nerdy?

Good morning, readers! You know last year my eye doctor the awesome Dr. Lam discovered that my eyes, much like the rest of me, are lazy. Luckily, my vision can be corrected with prisms in my lenses. Sadly, that means no contacts anymore. Embrace the four eyes, I say! Glasses can be super fun! They are another accessory and should be treated thusly. I have so much to say about glasses that this may take a few Friday posts- so be warned!

The first thing about glasses is to make sure those babies look good on you. You don't want to wear something that looks awful. What frames look best with you face shape? Knowing which style frames will look good will help you find the perfect pair. 

I found this helpful guide at http://www.coastal.com/thelook/face-shape-guide-for-glasses/?cmp=social&src=pn&seg=14-06-18_theLOOK-SMCO

The wrong size frames can be terrible. Case and point:

Clearly, these babies are much too big. But that's ok! Try, try, again!

Protip: selfies are your friend in this situation. I can't see without glasses. Seriously, I'm like Velma from Scooby-Doo. So, in order to make sure it all looks good, I take a selfie.  I may have a billion pictures of myself in different frames, but at least I'm not paying a lot of money for something that ends up looking terrible. Like this:  

That color though! Gorgeous! Too bad for me they look like joke glasses.

Next week: Go Retro! Exploring the vintage frame. 

Fashion Fridays!

New feature- well maybe. We'll see how it goes. Anyway, in case you hadn't already seen my billion post on being pregnant, today's fashion tip is on how to hide a pregnancy you're not ready to reveal yet. Readers, you don't count because you are all close family and already know. Besides, there's like what, 4 of you? 

So, how do you hide a pregnancy for a bit? Well, you can try this obvious, which is baggy clothes. I don't recommend this method because it looks trashy. You can also try wearing your regular clothes with a belly band. A belly band looks like a tube top for your belly. You can wear your regular pants unzipped with this. This is not recommended because you look overweight.  What I found that works is the trifecta: maternity clothes, oversized purse, sweater. That's right, maternity clothes. Why? Because they're loose where they need to be at this time, and no one will notice. Plus you'll be hella comfy.  The oversized bag? Well, one, you have the excuse to shop for a new bag, and two, if you have a big bag no one will notice what you're hiding underneath. The same can be said for a sweater. Toss it on and viola! You're covered up by its bulk. Cardigans also work. It's not so much as disguising the burgeoning bump as it is distracting from it and diverting focus elsewhere. For example, the chunkier the earrings the less likely people are going to look down. They'll be distracted by accessories! 

Now go out and look fabulous! 

Wtf- Car Tales

I want to know why teenagers think it's ok to do gross things in their car. Do the think no one can see them? Are they like toddlers and think if they can't see you you can't see them? News flash! You spending your red light time popping a zit- gross by the way- I can see you. I can see you examine your face in the mirror and perform the Deborah Harry Hairspray routine. It's disgusting. And what will you do with it? You can't wash your face or hands! That's just gross. Not only that, you're like 5 minutes from school. You'll have the red funk face for at least half an hour.  So please, do your face a favor and take care of that in the morning at home. I recommend Clean and Clear morning burst. Follow it up with some Lumene vitamin C cream (you can find at CVS) Then if you're oily, I recommend tarte make up. You can find at sephoria or ulta. Request a sample first though- you don't want to find out you have a reaction to the make up. Good news though, Sephoria has an amazing return policy and the people there are wonderful.

TL;DR: don't pop zits in the car. Wash your face. Sephoria is awesome. 

Friday

I was going to write this awesome fashion post, but it's Friday and I am fresh out of care. Instead I will leave you with this great tip: if you work in an office and are running late stop and get donuts. That way you can say "oh I was on time, but there was a long line at the bakery. Have a donut!" Then you come off looking like a hero and no one will really know the truth. Pro tip: it only works about once a month.
