Guest Post: Suma of The Fashion Beauty Junkie

Hey Loves!

I'm Suma and I am a typical NYC girl. Coffee, shoes, glitter, large purses, skinny jeans, art, fashion and beauty is what I surround myself with. You can learn more about me on my blog, The Fashion Beauty Junkie.

I finally was able to add Heroine from MAC to my lipstick collection! I am obviously not wasting anytime and just jumping into this blog post. The moment MAC sent out the email that they have it back in stock, I dropped what I was doing to purchase it! Buying lipstick is like eating Pringles, you just can't have one! With that being said, I also added the new Viva Glam Rihanna to that purchase and couldn't have been any happier!

The two lippies are perfect additions to my collection. The beautiful purple hue of Heroine is just the right touch for spring. I know it has been out for a while now and continues to sell out but this is thee perfect time to get my hands on it! Honestly, if I would have bought this color months ago, I probably would have forgotten about it. I know, I may or may not have too many lip products but that's besides the point. 

Moving on.........

Now, lets talk about this beautiful red that we call Viva Glam Rihanna. It is my first frost finish lipstick I have ever own. I'm not really into the MAC Frost colors. I prefer their matte and satin finishes. I convinced myself to buy this color because all the proceeds are donated to MAC's Aids Fund, so I didn't even think twice about it. I find the red more on the blue-ish red side and it's not an everyday red for me. I mean, compared to RiRi Woo which I grab all the time.

I haven't had the chance to sport these babies yet, but they're on my list! I didn't even put them away yet! They are sitting pretty on my makeup table! Have you added any new lipsticks to YOUR collection?

Until next time,

Xo Suma

Girl's Night Out Fall Fashions

The best part of going out with your girlfriends is dressing up for a good time. It's even better when everyone has their own individual style. I never have to worry about any of my friends showing up in the same outfit! So, when my girls and I last got together, I decided to document what we wore. As you will see in the video, our styles are pretty different from one another. Hopefully our outfits will give you some inspiration when you are deciding on what to wear on your next girl's night out.

Let's start with Nubia -- The Wild Child. Not only does she have one far out personality, but the style to match as well. I'm talking about animal on animal print here. She pulls it off so effortlessly, too. With her fiery red hair and bold teal pants, wearing a neutral color is best to ground the look. So, although there is a cheetah on her shirt, the beige color neutralized an otherwise crazy combination. Just like how she wore it, I like pairing a neutral color shoe any time I wear funky-colored pants!

Kelly, The Curvy Professor, is sporting a clean-cut look. I know, totally different from the first look, right?! When in doubt, a sharp shirt and blazer dresses you up. Of course, since it was the weekend, she is wearing a fun-colored blazer in velvet. Who else is loving velvet clothing this Fall? You can easier pair this with your favorite jeans and heels to finish the look. Of course, wearing sexy aviators always helps!

Then, there is me, Tineey, The Party Girl. I love to have a good time. What can I say? I decided to go a little risque yet remain fun with my outfit. I've always wanted to rock pajama pants, and pajama pants in a colorful print is even better. Since there is a lot going on with my pants, I am pairing it with a solid black top.... with cutouts. No plain Janes here. I love the cutouts on the sleeves and the open back. Like they say, business in the front, party in the back. To complete my look, I wore heels in one of the main colors in the print of my pants. Doing so allows me to still wear color shoes without it clashing with the pants.

There you have it. Three girls in three completely different styles, ready to paint the town pink. 

Guest Post: It's Because I Think Too Much's Travel Essentials

Part of the fun in blogging is meeting people from across the U.S. - and Adiel from Its Because I Think Too Much is one cool gal! Her Cali style speaks to me and her readers in the most stylish of ways - and the NYTimes agrees: She's been featured in their Fashion & Style section numerous times! Be sure to visit her blog to scope out her scene!

Growing up, my family lived in the same house for 14 years. I didn’t really have a whole lot of experience with moving until after I graduated from high school. After that, I became very well acquainted with it--I moved about once a year up until I finally settled in the San Francisco Bay Area nearly three years ago. I’m by no means a moving pro, but when Jen asked me to share some of my travel must-haves, I was delighted at the opportunity! Keep reading to see what I need when I travel.

Lots of Layers
Whether it’s a road trip or in an airplane, travel always comes with unexpected climates. When traveling, I usually start with leggings or comfy skinny jeans and long t-shirt. Then I start to layer; a cozy cardigan, a scarf, and, depending on the weather, a coat or jacket. You’ll want to be sure your shoes are easy to slip on and off. In warmer weather I rock a pair of ballet slippers or loafers. If it’s colder, I wear a pair of boots that can be easily pulled on/off.
The key here is comfort!

Occupy the Mind
I’m a bit of a gadget girl and a little bit of traveling isn’t going to stop me from getting my fix. I’ve always got my phone, iPad, and digital camera on hand. Twitter, text messages, and Instagram are always entertaining while on the road. I can catch up on my reading or watch a movie on my iPad. I whip out my camera when I need to document a moment of the trip. And don’t forget your headphones so your tunes don’t disturb your fellow travelers!

Stay Hydrated
Traveling usually leaves me feeling completely dried out so it’s important to stay on top of moisture. I would be so lost without my favorite lip balm and a great hand lotion. And you can’t forget about the mother of all hydration--good ol’ water!

Now that you know some of my must-haves, it’s time to share yours! What do you have to have on hand while traveling?

The "Who hires movers anymore?!?!" Manicure

The lovely Jasmine of WebHauteJas.com is my go-to nail guru for fly mani advice. Check out her guest post while I get my move on, and don't forget to visit her blog for more amazing DIY nail art, fashion and more!

When Jen mentioned via Twitter last week that she was about to begin the arduous task of moving, naturally my first thought was.... *gasp* "What about her nails!"...Shallow & self-centered?? Maybe. A reason for chipped polish?? Never. 

So, I wanted to lend a hand to my cyber chica to make sure her mani stayed in tact during this daunting task.

The gel manicure... Natures answer to chipped polish! Yes, that's correct..."nature". LOL.

But why spend time & money at the salon when, you can DIY!... So I skipped on down to Ulta Beauty Store to purchase a quick and easy alternative.

Nutra Nail Gel comes in 12 gorg colors & will only run you about $12 for the base coat & color, whereas professional gel systems are about $14 for each bottle of polish. And let's face it... you really should be a pro to apply those & have the UV light, blah, blah, blah...

So, here is the final result with a lil embellishment to boot! I think you will agree that you wouldn't mind packing a few boxes & then going out for drinks afterward... That is if you had any energy left!!

Happy moving to the new "House Of Jeffers", Jen... :)
