Think You Can't Wear Earrings Due to Sensitive Ears? Think Again!

If you are like me, then you know the literal pains of having sensitive ears. I have gotten to the point of thinking I either could not wear earrings anymore or needed really expensive 14K earrings. Well, I was wrong! Thanks to a little tip from Leighannsays on YouTube, I found an inexpensive alternative that really works and I want to share it with you!

Next time you stop by your local Target, check out their earrings. There will be a section of stud sets and other fashion statement earrings, all that say "nickel free" on the cardboard. These work wonders for sensitive ears! I have been wearing various one every day for over a week now and no soreness! I love that there are tons of options, but I have to say the best part is the can't beat prices. Most sets of 6 earrings run about $10!

I highly recommend you check out these earrings if you have suffered from sensitive ears!

Keep Curls in Place Overnight!

I spent yesterday evening at my salon getting my hair cut. Every time my amazing stylist asks me if I wanted it styled straight or in curls. Usually, I opt for straight hair but recently I have really been loving curls. She taught me a killer tip that will allow you to curl your hair at night, go to bed, and wake up with fab curls!

You will want to start off by curling your hair normally the night before. When you curl, do not pull at your curls; leave them tight. Make sure you prep your hair with hairspray before you curl and spray a generous layer of hairspray to set your hair once you have curled all of your hair. I recommend using L'Oreal Elnett or Euphora hairspray because they will not make your hair super hard and crunchy. Now get some beauty sleep!

When you wake up in the morning, run your fingers through your hair to break up and sexy up those curls! Spray some more hairspray. This is when I like to use Bed Head because it will hold everything all day long. And now you have fabulous curls, as simple as that!

How 2 Hydrate Dry Hands this Winter!

Do you have really dry hands and just can't seem to get them hydrated? Well, stop your worrying because I have a quick, easy, and effective solution. All you need are: a sugar scrub, exfoliating gloves, and L'Occitane Shae Butter Hand Cream.

While you are in the shower, put on your gloves, which you can get at any drugstore, and take your sugar scrub (Target has a great one for a really budget friendly price) and exfoliate your hands. Make sure you get the back of your hands, the palms, and in between your fingers. Once you are out of the shower and completely dry, apply a small amount of the hand cream. This product is a little pricey but it is worth every penny. It keeps hands hydrated through three hand washes and you only need to use the tiniest bit.

Repeat these simple steps and within a few days your hands will be silky smooth and protected from the harsh winter weather!

Custom Rock N Roll Heels!

A few months ago I saw someone post about their new Nikki Sixx heels. I was dying over them and knew I had to find where she purchased them.Well, needless to say, I did find the fabulous Etsy shop filled with all kinds of custom heels and most importantly, the Nikki Sixx heels. I placed my order and was quickly contacted by the shop owner, Jodi. She communicated with me throughout the whole process and kept me posted on how things were going. It was a pleasure ordering and talking with Jodi. It was one of the best Etsy purchasing experiences and I would highly recommend you check out her stuff!

She has a lot of rock band, Disney, and comic book options. She also offers heels, wedges, and flats. If you have an idea you really want to happen, she takes custom orders. The shoes arrived quickly and they were perfect. I love them to death and always get compliments on them. They are definitely unique and make a statement!

Meeting my Fashion Inspiration, Courtney Bingham-Sixx!

It should come as no surprise when I say my biggest fashion inspiration is the fab Courtney Bingham-Sixx! I have done a number of posts recreating some of her outfits and makeup looks. Well, this past weekend I was in Detroit for my last Motley Crue concert of 2014. After the show, as I was walking out of the arena, I saw her standing by the B stage. I went over to introduce myself and she was as sweet as can be. We chatting for a while about the tour and her fashion. She was very easy to talk to, gracious, and even more gorgeous in person. It was a pleasure meeting her and in honor of the occasion, I thought I would share a collage of some of my favorite Courtney outfits. Hopefully you can pull some inspiration from them, as well.

Here are some of my previous post spotlighting Courtney's style: one, two, three, four, five.

OOTD: Motley Crue Final Tour

It feels like just yesterday I was posting about my Motley Crue Final Tour outfit inspiration. Well, needless to say, over the past couple months I have gone to many of their shows. This Saturday will be my 8th and last Motley Crue show of 2014. I have realized I have a go-to outfit that I love rocking to these shows. Currently, all of the items are back in-stock on the various websites, so I thought I would share my rock chick outfit with you.

My outfit consists of faux leather leggings, a Motley Crue lace back tank, a faux leather jacket, and black boots. The tank is loose enough that you won't feel suffocated but still shows off your figure. I like to tie it up in the back with a hair tie that is concealed by the jacket, but I have worn it both ways and it has looked killer. These items are a little pricer than I normally like to spend but all of the items have held up super well over the multiple late nights of rocking out and everything that comes with it. The leather jacket is also a great transition piece when it is too chilly to go without a jacket, but not cold enough to wear a heavy coat.

 Check out these links to order: Bebe leggings, Motley Crue tank, leather jacket. I got the boots years ago and cannot even recall where they are from. Any moto boots will look fab with this outfit!

This outfit or something very similar would be perfect to wear to any rock show. It's sexy, fun, and still very comfortable. If you have fallen in love with any of these pieces, I highly recommend ordering quickly. All of these items sold out in a very short amount of time last they were available online.

Enjoy!

Give Your Perfume Extra Staying Power!

It is no secret that I love perfume! Nothing is more annoying than your fragrance wearing off throughout the night. Well today I have a quick tip that I learned from a makeup artist recently that will keep your perfume going strong throughout the day or night.

When you spray on your perfume, spray one or two squirts on the back of your hair. The fragrance will latch on and stay much longer than it would by just spraying it on your clothes or neck. Be mindful, however, that with more expensive, luxurious fragrances, you don't need to go spray crazy! My favorite is Angel and 3 sprays max will give you a nice scent without being too overpowering. We have all had that experience when standing next to someone who sprayed entirely too much perfume! Not good! If you use Victoria's Secret fragrances, like I do sometimes for work, or other comparable perfumes, you can be a little more liberal when spraying on.

And an added bonus: when you are dancing the night away, you will be able to really smell your perfume as your hair bounces around!
