Fab Five Ways to Dress to Boost Your Confidence

Hey Fashionistas! Since it's a new year, I decided that I want to share with you something I'm so passionate about, and something that matters to me. It's empowering women and helping them feel confident, powerful and strong. Yes you can do that using Fashion!!

First I want to clarify that confidence comes from within, if you overall have a negative image of yourself, non of this tips will help! We all have insecurities, trust me fashionistas, some days I wake up not the happiest, and we all have these days. Just know that the tips I'm about to give can help in the foundation of your self confidence.

Define your Style: You have to have a strong sense of personality, you have to be self aware of what you like, what kind of clothes really makes you feel yourself the most.

Buy more of the Pieces you Love: This is the easiest thing that I can tell you to do, which is something that I've been doing this past year. I noticed that I have my to go pieces that I'm always grabbing. Buy something that you feel good about wearing, and you'll find yourself having a huge range of clothes that you love.

Highlight your Strengths: Whether it's your waist line, your legs, or you shoulders, highlight these parts. There must be something you like about your body, let it be your strength.

The Special Occasion is Today: We always buy this dress or those shoes and wait for a special occasion to wear it. This occasion may never come, or when it comes that thing is out of style or you don't like it anymore. Everyday is a special occasion, embrace it.

If it doesn't Make you Feel Confident don't Wear it: If you wear it and you're not feeling it, don't wear it and go out! Cause you'll spend the whole time doubting your looks instead of feeling confident and happy. Wear what makes you feel amazing.

#2 Smile: Smile! It's contagious.. It's hard not to be happy about all the blessings that you have and the things in your life. The great thing about smiling is that it's contagious, it's like if you're smiling you could make someone else smile. And smiling is SEXY!

#3 Walk like you're on a mission: That mission is life! If you walk down the street faster and more confident, you'll get through everyday with more confidence.

#4 Step Out of your Comfort Zone: This means a lot of things! You can go to the front of your fitness class instead of the back, join a new club, or make a new friend.

#5 Be Bold: Wear a red lipstick, it's like your power booster.

#6 Break a Sweat: Working out make you feel confident, and makes you feel damn sexy. It also increases your endorphin and the hormones that make you happy.

#7 Find the Beauty in Others: If you recognize the beauty in others, you can see the beauty in yourself.

#8 Keep it Positive: No negative Talk!! If you catch yourself saying something negative about yourself whether it's to yourself or out loud, correct it and say something amazing about yourself.

#9 Dress to the 9's: Take care of yourself, If you're even going to the grocery store, or you're going for a walk with your girlfriend or anything, dress up a little.

#10 Reward Yourself: A bubble bath, a massage, or a mani padi. Do something for yourself, you deserve it for working so hard and I feel as a woman we are nurturing and we have the tendency to take care of others and we put ourselves last. Take care of yourself first then you're able to give more love for the others.

Fab Five: Tips to Walk in Heels with No Pain

Hey Fashionistas and welcome back! Today we're going to talk about HEELS!! and how to make them feel comfortable and painless. I'm gonna share with you everything that I know. I've been walking in heels for a while now and I feel for my friends every time  they're in pain or their feet hurts that they have to take their shoes off when we go out...So today I'm just gonna share with you couple of the tips that I learned throughout the years, hopefully it's gonna be helpful for you!

Thick heels: Honestly I have a lot of these they are my to go shoes when I have to go to places with a lot of standing,they provide a lot of support, the thicker the heel the bigger the support.

Kitten Heels: I have to admit that kitten heels aren't the most attractive heels especially when there's this tiny little heel that looks kinda weird but you can definitely do kitten heels the right way, they are very comfortable. Sometimes heels can be psychological thing even if it's a little heel you feel more dressed up and more glamorous!

Lace Up Heels: These heels lock the shoe in with amazing comfort and stability, other than that the model is very comfortable.

Fold Over Flats: Always have in your bag a Fold over flats. I know so many girls who walked bare foot out of an event or a club or a party or something like that..That's why I make sure this never happens to me and I always keep in my bag a fold over flats, so no matter what happens I try to avoid this situation and keep the class.

Platform Shoes: They are so much more comfortable than regular heels, they are your best friends, they keep you supported, and it's easier to walk in.I honestly wear heels maybe 80% of the time and the reason for that is that I wear platform heels.

Fab Five: Closet Makeover Tips

So Today I'm going to talk about several tips that gets your closet clean and sparkling. I want you to love your closet more, I want you to walk in your closet and love it, even if you don't have a walk in closet, if you have a wardrobe, I want you to love it and be inspired with it. Let's get started:

First Step: Clear your closet. Clear everything that is unnecessary, take all your clothes that you haven't wear in a year -it is more likely if you didn't wear it through the whole season that you wont wear it at all- Donate it to a better home, to someone in need or sell it on eBay.

Second Step: Store your summer pieces that you probably wont be able to wear during Winter season, that would clear your closet and give you more space.

Third Step:  Organize your jewelry. I cant stress enough of how amazing this is gonna feel. You can be very decorative with storing your jewelry you can hang it up on your closet or decorate it on your vanity, or put it on a shelf, make sure you have your jewelry decor place.

Fourth Step: Get matching hangers. I know this may sound silly, and make sure all your hangers face the same direction -No it is not an OCD problem- when you walk in your closet and see the identical hangers, all facing the same direction, even if your closet is a mess nobody will be able to tell.

Fifth Step: Color Coordinate. Even if you don't have a lot of colors, you can always split your closet into darks and lights, and to me I absolutely love this idea. You can also split your tops into short sleeves and long sleeves, or by white florals and dark, or stripes, lights, and darks.

Those closet makeover tips make it a lot easier to get dressed, it's a lot nicer to look at. Definitely do it!
