7 Beauty Trends That Never Go Out Of Fashion

Fashion trends may come and go, but evergreen classic beauty trends have survived the test of time—the little black dress and smokey eye trump purple lipstick and glitter eyeshadow anytime. Not to mention there are also some hideous styles and trends that we’d never want back anytime soon. But that’s another conversation altogether. Today, we’ll talk about what works and what will make you shine.

If you are trying to walk into a party in style or simply trying to feel good, make sure you have these seven beauty trends at your fingertips. These will up your game, boost your confidence, and prepare you to take on any challenge.

 

There’s nothing more glamorous than the natural look.

Less is more. And when it comes to beauty, there is nothing more apt than minimalistic. You’d be surprised what a simple lipstick, mascara, and eyeshadow can do to enhance facial features. Beauty is, after all, enhancing our natural features, right? Give those funky colors a break, and go with a simple nude lipstick. Simple, elegant, and beauty personified. Try this and see how it can leave your friends and family in awe. Also, you can try some natural remedies such as cbd tinctures from tranquil for a natural glow.

 

Make that enamel shine bright.

Nail paint is like your best friend. It completes your look, and when you make sure to complement it with the rest of your attire, you can be a star. Nail art has undoubtedly exploded in the last few years, and the gel nail polish kit is something manicurists swear by. Why? Gel nail polishes fortify your nails with enough padding and prevent chipping when you dig into your handbag for essentials. Pick a gel nail polish kit from the several options available on the market and get ready for some gorgeous nail colors. 

 

Flaunt your style with the eternal smokey eye

You can be simple yet show off the soul to your beauty – your eyes like a pro. Use a simple eyeshadow and eyeliner and create an intense look that no other glitter makeup can provide. The smokey eye probably came into being in the 60s and the 70s and has stood the test of time. Starting from silent movies up until the recent red carpet, we’ve seen women flash their smokey eyes, being sophisticated, edgy, and glamorous at the same time. 

 

Give wings to your eyelids.

Another classic trend that is future-proofed is the cat-eye or winged eyelids. And who better to endorse the cat-eye than the beautiful Audrey Hepburn? Her iconic eyes are not something we’d forget soon. Thin and thick eyeliners have come and gone, but the winged eyeliner is a sure shot winner. With hacks like using scotch tape as a stencil, you can create the perfect cat eye look for yourself and make your eyes speak volumes.

 

The legendary Little Black Dress (LBD)

Back to Audrey Hepburn again. Who can forget the classic LBD from Breakfast at Tiffany’s? We cannot thank Coco Chanel enough for this beautiful invention that has left us captivated for years. The perfect cocktail dress pairs up easily with other everlasting beauty trends like smokey eyes and neutral lipstick that can make any girl look gorgeous. Hey, even Jennifer Lopez and Queen Bey swear by it, so what’s stopping you?

 

The versatile Black Pumps

Think twice before you rule out the black pumps as boring. Invest in these versatile shoes and transform your regular outfit into something unique and classy. What’s better? You have a range of options to choose from-he classic black suede, pumps with a platform or pointed heels, thin heels, or the pointed toe. Skirts, cropped pants, tights, cocktail dresses, or slim slacks, the black pumps are the perfect match made in heaven for these outfits. 

 

Finally, the eternal jeans

Need we say more? How many of us have thrown in our favorite pair of jeans when we have nothing else clean and dry in our wardrobe. Well-fitting pair of jeans, whether it’s any of these – casual, slim fit, regular, high waist, dark wash, cut-off, or ripped is a must-have for everyone. Age-defying, everlasting, and forever chic, denim can never go wrong. 

These are just some of the beauty trends to enhance your beauty and help you shine. What to avoid? That’s another long list, but it’s best to stay away from drawn-on brows, frosted lipstick, head-to-toe denim, fake tan, and the mullet.

Remember, beauty is within. There is no other garment better than confidence, and no other makeup better than a smile that can help you conquer even your worst days. Get up, take a nice long bath, throw in the bath salts and enjoy some me-time. Give yourself the perfect makeover, and get ready to conquer the world!

How Mobile Apps Are Changing the Fashion World

Chances are that you’re checking this blog out on your smartphone. Even if you’re not, there’s one sitting right next to you, charging up for another scrolling session on Instagram, to keep track of what’s the latest in the world. This simple fact has inspired most, if not all fashion brands to take notice of the emerging customer trends in terms of tech use and start leveraging mobile more than in the previous years.

Knowing that the fashion industry is already trend-based and seasonal by nature, it’s perfectly normal to expect fashion giants as well as aspiring designers to follow what their customers need and want.

In more ways than one, mobile apps are now redefining these relationships: both in terms of how fashion brands communicate with customers, but also how these brands secure their presence in this oversaturated market. Apps have an immense potential for fashion brands to boost their sales, and through that, to elevate customer experience and relationships to new heights.

The rise of m-commerce

While we’re on the subject of boosting sales for your fashion brand, did you know that the m-commerce sales are expected to reach $3.56 trillion by the end of the year? A significant slice of that multi-trillion-dollar pie will go to apparel and fashion in general, that’s for sure. Being part of that means positioning your brand as best as possible on mobile devices.

However, in 2021, it’s imperative to expand beyond just mobile web and tap into the potential of  mobile app marketing to target customers, reach a broader audience, and deliver a secure user experience. Whether through mobile marketplaces that can showcase your brand or by developing your own mobile app, your fashion business can experience exponential growth in the coming months and years with a strong app presence.

Personalization through branded apps

Off the rack is no longer that appealing. The modern customer likes the freedom to wear authentic, personalized apparel, and even more so, to get personalized offers from brands they love and follow. Working with an app development agency, a fashion brand can create a branded app that provides customers a dedicated shopping space with personalized offers and suggestions.

Such an app is not just a space for advertising your new collections. It’s primarily there to learn from its users and adapt based on your customers’ previous shopping preferences. Implementing that data means providing each user an authentic, branded experience, and it amplifies your chances of boosting customer retention and repeat business. In simpler terms, more sales.

Pocket-sized marketing with major impact

Marketing a fashion brand in this highly competitive sphere is a challenge in and of itself. When you have mobile apps at your disposal, you can gain direct access to a specific demographic that will benefit from your offers.

What’s more, you get to explore discovery platforms in the form of apps that help you get the feel of the market and test out new, potential wearables you come up with, before you invest any time or money in the manufacturing of the product.

With your own app, you can publish content that is tailor-made (pun intended), allowing you to learn what captures your customers’ interest and what needs further tweaking. Sending out notifications, alerts, and emails to your existing customers also lets you position yourself better.

Built-in loyalty programs

Yet another way mobile apps allow fashion brands to boost customer bonds is with the help of in-app loyalty programs. Customized to their preferences and based on their previous shopping habits, these programs can help your business retain your existing customers, make them happy, and increase profits in one fell swoop.

Even if they already trust and love your brand, people love freebies. Showing your appreciation to your customers and letting them know that you value their every purchase is best achieved with loyalty schemes that are delivered through mobile apps – personal and personalized at the same time.

Access to new target audience knowledge

Promoting your brand values, such as waste-free fashion collections, collaborations with relevant influencers, or a turn for sustainable solutions shouldn’t go unnoticed. With your own app, and many app-based news outlets, you can spread the word about your brand’s core purpose and values. At the same time, you can learn about your audience based on their reactions to the kind of content you produce, the collections you create, and above all, the feedback they provide.

Apps are a brilliant outlet for quick and painless surveys that take practically no time to complete. Built-in review and rating options help you understand audience preferences, and open feedback will allow you to understand what kind of values your customers love, and what makes them stay true to your business. In the long run, that means utilizing this carefully collated data to market your brand more effectively.

 

For any fashion brand, increasing profits means more opportunities to grow, expand into new design directions, experiment with collections, and of course, secure a spot in the “timeless” fashion segment for their customers. With the use of your very own mobile app, combined with presenting your brand across existing apps, you can achieve all of the listed goals, provided that you take a strategic approach and listen to your customers’ voices.

Six Boutiques To Shop At This Summer In The Kansas City Area

How to source sustainable clothing to support local boutiques.

In this post, I am compiling my favorite local boutiques in the Kansas City area, to encourage anyone and everyone to shop local. I have been shopping locally for about two years now. And these are a few boutiques that I find myself going back to every-time.

 

Array — The Mall of Boutiques

The first time I physically walked into Array, I felt like I could find everything in one place. Because it is like a mini mall of wonders. And they offer a variety of clothing — from dresses to skirts, graphic shirts to sets, athletic wear to denim and a baby clothing line — it’s all there. In addition, Array does a great job including all types of women of different shapes and sizes to model their clothing — via their Instagram page. And that’s something that I will always root for. So you can find a variety of styles for women of all ages. And it is a great boutique to find unique pieces and treat yourself too. 

 

Etiquette — LA to NY fashion 

For the west coast and east coast wardrobe, Etiquette is where you can find just that. They offer the trendiest outfits as seen on Hailey Beiber or Kendall Jenner. And you can find body con dresses, tanks, two piece sets, and a variety of accessories. The two items that I really love to source from them are their bralettes and their dainty jewelry. I had recently purchased a sky blue lace bralette from them and I am in love with it. And they also offer casual clothing like hoodies, graphic tees and basic tees. 

 

Ensemble — Inspired for the everyday woman 

If you are wanting to find a boutique where it caters to the everyday woman, then Ensemble is your go to boutique. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. Because Ensemble strives to make every woman who enters their shop in store or online  feel beautiful.  While also leaving with their favorite curated pieces. Ensemble carries a variety of clothing pieces, home goods, shoes, accessories and jewelry. Also if you are a local to the Kansas City area, you can utilize their open event space catered for baby showers, bridal showers, graduations, or any special event you’d love to celebrate. Kassie Murphy is the owner of this beautiful boutique and what I find the most inspiring about her, was the way that she made it all happen. She had a dream and she made it come true by opening the doors to her ideal boutique in May of 2018. And she has given me the opportunity to create a fashion blog for their subscribers and anyone who likes to stay up to date with their merchandise. I upload every other Sunday sharing how to wear clothing, what is trending, gift guides and I feature local vendors like The Babe Standard.

 

Frankie and Jules — For the Free Spirited Woman 

Frankie and Jules is every boho-loving woman’s dream of a boutique. Their staples are bold pieces like dresses, tops and skirts with a mix of shoes, accessories and local branded clothing. And I absolutely adore seeing their Instagram stories, how engaging they are with their guests and they provide the best customer service in store. You can find a mix of brands like She + Sky, Flying Monkey Denim and Ermish Jewelry. I recently purchased an A-line denim dress perfect for any upcoming summer event and a tie-dye Kansas graphic tee. Frankie and Jules is an in-store and online boutique. So you can shop from the comfort of your own home or you can pop into the store if you live in Kansas City. 

 

The Kindred Shops– The Collective Boutique 

These three collective boutiques strive to elevate your boutique experience in-store and online. The Kindred Shops offers a variety of clothing pieces — dresses, skirts, shorts, denim, KC Merch and jewelry — alongside home items, vintage apparel and apothecary. And Kindred makes it easy to find pieces you can wear for an everyday look or for statement finds. So I personally love shopping for blouses, graphic tees and denim. And most of my pieces featured on my instagram are from Kindred. I find myself going back to Kindred often because they carry quality clothes that are both sustainable and very affordable. And Kindred is the ideal boutique for any college student looking for an affordable boutique with a variety of pieces. Or for any woman who is on the lookout for a new wardrobe — Kindred should be your first stop. 

 

Luxxe Apparel — The Trendsetters 

If you want a place where you’ll see all of the latest trendy clothing, Luxxe is definitely the place to shop. Because their goal is to make all women feel confident in their apparel. And without breaking the bank. Luxxe boutique is owned by Kassidy Harrenstein and her sister Lucy Harrenstein. And they are two of the most hard working women who treat their customers like royalty. Luxxe Apparel specializes in providing the most popular pieces like wide legged pants, two piece sets, fashionable accessories and Quay Sunglasses.  “We strive for customer service by giving our customers a very personal shopping experience. Which allows us to develop ongoing relationships with all of our customers,” said Kassidy Harrenstein. Luxxe always features local bloggers or models to showcase their new arrivals. And Luxxe has new arrivals every Thursday.  Also they recently launched their app for easy shopping.

15 Small Outfit Problems That Make You Look Like A Hot Mess

Whenever we leave the house, we’re bound to run into someone we know. Whether it’s for a run to the grocery store, a trip to the mall or even if we’re headed to go to work – it’s important we always look our best. Even if we’re not in the mood to get dressed up and ready for a quick trip out – people judge us for every little thing we wear.

There are a lot of ways that out outfits and appearance can f*ck us over in terms of other people’s opinions of us, without us even noticing. Sure, we may have showered this morning, put on a brand new outfit and tried to look our absolute best, but there are small little details that fall through the cracks and in turn, make us look like we’re riding the Hot Mess Express.

15. Wearing clothing that has small rips, frays or tears in it.

Sometimes we leave the house in ripped jeans or jeans that are frayed at the bottom. While it’s a style statement and trend, sometimes, it makes us look disheveled and unorganized. Sometimes when we wear things too often and for too long, the threads start to wear and buttons begin to become loose – while you don’t think it’s a big deal, people notice.

14. Wearing too many accessories.

While accessorizing can spice up a plain outfit, going overboard can make any outfit look tacky and cheap. If you are going to a work setting or a really nice affair, you don’t want to overdo it by blinging out a fancy dress or pants suit. Keep it simple.

13. Not ironing your shirt/dress/skirt.

Sometimes when we leave the house in a rush, we don’t have time to iron everything. People will run out the door in a button-down shirt that looks like we’ve slept in it, a dress with way too many wrinkles or a skirt that needs to be fixed ASAP. Not ironing your clothing can make you look sloppy in appearance. And, what’s even better is they now sell hand steamers that you can buy and speed up the “ironing process” altogether.

12. Wearing hair ties as bracelets or accessories on your wrist.

It may seem convenient to keep your hair tie or a rubber band on your wrist in case you want to throw your hair up, but it also looks sloppy and makes you appear much younger than you are. It’s better off to put them in your bag, car, or desk at work incase you want it, rather than keeping it on your wrist all day long.

11. Wearing clothes that are too tight on you.

There comes a time in everyone’s life where we start gaining weight a bit faster than when we were younger – it’s called growing up. Our metabolism starts to slow down and all that pizza comes back in our faces whenever we look in the mirror. If you’re still wearing shirts and dresses from when you were 18-years-old and they definitely don’t fit anymore, people notice.

10. Carrying around a bag that’s too big in certain situations.

When you go to a job interview or a party, it’s better to carry a smaller bag than a large one. Also, you want to be sure the bag is in good condition and isn’t ripping or tearing anywhere, or that there are no dirty stains on it anywhere. Bigger bags can make you appear as though you’re trying too hard.

9. Visible bra straps.

While many women think showing your bra is a “feminist movement,” it does look sloppy and tacky in most social settings. In fact, if you’re wearing a shirt in which your bra is showing, it can even come off slutty and inappropriate – especially in a work setting.

8. Wearing oversized clothing.

Sometimes, with the right outfit, oversized clothes can be chic and cute. But, often times this isn’t the case and instead, appears sloppy and lazy. Finding clothes that are tailored to your body is the key to appearing professional and kept.

7. Day-old makeup.

Even though you think no one can tell your eyeliner and mascara is from last night, it’s pretty obvious when it’s smudged all over your face. It’s better off to wash your face and start fresh rather than be lazy and keep the same, cruddy makeup on. People will think you are irresponsible and trashy if you appear this way.

6. Animal hair on your clothes.

If you have a pet, it’s likely that they tend to shed all over your house and clothing. But, that’s why God invented lint brushes and rollers. Just because you have a dog doesn’t mean you want to show up to a meeting covered in dog hair – it just looks awful.

5. Sweaters with pills all over them.

Every girl knows there comes a time when we need to retire our favorite sweaters (RIP). Although we love them and had some good times in them, when they begin to get “pilly” it’s time to chuck them and get new ones. Wearing pilly sweaters make you look cheap and dirty.

4. Wearing the wrong shoes with the wrong outfit.

Even if you’re trying to be comfortable rather than classy, you can always throw sneakers in your bag for your commute home (which is what we all do). When you’re at the office or at a party/event, don’t show up in your sandals or sneakers just because you have to take the train home. It looks tacky and unfortunately gives off the vibe that you don’t care.

3. Wearing any clothing with stains.

Sure, you may have gotten oil on your favorite t-shirt, but that doesn’t mean you should continue wearing it just because it’s your favorite. If you can’t get a stain out, that means you have to replace whatever item you’ve stained. Going out with stained clothing is horrible for your appearance and will always make you look sloppy and disorderly.

2. Wearing white shirts/dresses/pants/skirts that are no longer bright white.

Eventually after owning white clothing for years, the white begins to fade and it becomes more of an off-white/gray. This is when you need to purchase new whites. Whites should be bright and clean, not dull and dirty. Wearing these “white” items will make you look cheap and as though you don’t wash your clothing often enough – or separate your laundry.

1. Dirty or chipped nails.

If you don’t take care of your nails, it’s an issue. Even if you’re not into getting them done or painting them, you should always clean them and cut them. If you do get manicures and your nail polish is overly chipped, that also is a sign of sloppiness and bad hygiene. The minute you see dirty under your nails, clean them. If they’re too long, cut them. If they’re chipping, take the nail polish off. Clean nails make you look cleanly and responsible.
