Here’s something that may
come as a surprise: natural is classy. In an age when cosmetic
companies are racing to develop the next great (and inevitably
expensive) botox-free skin cleanser with promises of ageless
‘beauty’, the truth about truly being beautiful is unfortunately
concealed. Real beauty begins and ends with individuality. Don’t
alter your appearance with makeup and clothes that don’t genuinely
reflect who you are. As a designer, I always strive to create
collections that not only interject my own creative inspirations,
but also (and more importantly) fit my clientele’s persona.
Don’t buy into the ‘Plain Jane’ stereotype: there is nothing
hotter or sexier than unadulterated individuality, and the good news
is that here are ways to look beautiful without obsessing about it.

Remember- don't be overly
dramatic - keep it clean, light and natural.
Don't be a slave to fashion...nothing beats personal style:
1) Stay away from overly tight and/or see-through garments.
Confidence is bred from being comfortable with what you are. Know
your body and know what looks good.
2) Don't be afraid to experiment but choose colors that compliment
your skin tone.
3) Don't bare all and avoid large, overpowering prints.
4) Do accessorize as it suits your outfit(s).
As an aside, these are general guidelines and not steadfast rules of
fashion simplicity; in other words, don’t be afraid to bend or
even break (in some instances!) these suggestions if it means
incorporating your own distinctive style. The biggest mistake one
can make is to try and conform to someone else’s style—they
won’t feel comfortable and trust me, it will show. If you’re
true to yourself, you’ll emanate confidence—and, of course, be
beautiful!
