TORY BURCH SUNGLASSES

Thank you to Tory Burch and ShopStyle Collective for sponsoring this post

Since starting Atlantic-Pacific back in 2010, sunglasses have been a big part of my fashion identity. Sunglasses are the perfect finishing touch to just about every look and Tory Burch sunglasses are sophisticated, modern, and timeless. Today I am highlighting three of my favorite pairs from their current collection at Nordstrom. Each exudes a completely different mood – in the Tory Burch line there is something for everyone – from downtown edge to uptown elegance to midtown mod.

KIRA GEOMETRIC SUNGLASSES // For the cool girl who is ready to take on the latest trend: slim shades.

What I love about them: These sunglasses are done in a the most beautiful brown tort and have unique design details like super thick temples and gold inlay surrounding the lenses. They come in a classic black as well.

What to pair these with: Pull out your lug sole boots, straight leg jeans, and favorite oversized sweater. These sunglasses are made for downtown cool.

KIRA STRIPE OPEN-WIRE SQUARE SUNGLASSES // For the mod lover who loves an oversized lens.

What I love about them: A completely unique shape that still feels dainty while being oversized. I love how the geometric lenses marry with the feminine wire frame.

What to pair these with: These shades are perfectly paired with your favorite velvet suit, bow blouses, and square toed boots. The glamorous shape and proportions also have me styling these with a dramatic printed maxi dress and OTK boots.

KIRA SLIM RECTANGULAR SUNGLASSES // Shades made for the classic lover who wants a bit of a twist.

What I love about them: These are timeless without being boring. The rectangular shape is made more modern with a gold brown bridge that gives this style just the right amount of interest. A style that feels modern but can live in your collection for years and years to come.

What to pair these with: To be hones, just about anything! That being said, I will be wearing mine with a classic striped sweater, leather pants, and chic ballet flats.

ALL OF THE STATEMENT TOPS

Statement tops…the bigger, the better! Today I am rounding up a bunch of new statement tops to take you from the end of summer into fall. FYI I am still down in Florida and won’t be pulling out my winter coats and heavy layers any time soon! Lately I am trying to keep it fresh and interesting wearing over-the-top separates and new color combinations. This is the top I have currently been living in – it feels fall while still appropriate for the eighty degree weather we are having! Keep scrolling to see a few more of my other loves…

HAIR TUTORIAL: MY LOW SLEEK BUN

As so many of you have recently asked, this week I am reposting my go-to low sleek bun and daily make up routine posts. Over the past few years I have fine tuned my hair and beauty regimes and rarely stray from what I feel ‘works for me’ (although don’t worry, I have heard loud and clear that many of you would like to see my hair down more often lol)! Since I like to focus on over the top fashion, I feel like this sleek do allows the outfits to stand out. Well without further ado…

If you haven’t noticed, the sleek, low bun has quickly become a part of my beauty uniform! Being so fast and easy to do, it has transformed my everyday look. Over the past few years, I’ve had quite the hair journey – from going way too blonde and curling my fine, color processed hair everyday (ekkk so much damage) to going a bit darker and finally finding a low heat styling solution that I love (this cut down on the damage).

Below I am breaking down my everyday styling steps in a low sleek bun tutorial – with products included. At the end of this post I’ve also included a few of my most asked hair care questions, but feel free DM or email me any other questions you have. Happy to help!

STEP ONE // While my hair is still quite damp I apply Kerastase Blowdry Cream, an amazing heat protectant. I have also used this protectant from Kerastase in the past, and love both. While I only blow dry my hair for about 2-3 minutes (after step three), I have found heat protectant is so important for my fine, color processed hair – even when I apply heat for just a few short minutes.

STEP TWO // Using a boar bristle brush (this one also gets rave reviews) I part my hair down the center and smooth out each side. This brush is *key* to getting the sleek look I want. It is also important to clean your hairbrush once every two weeks (this could vary depending on how much hair you have). I usually fill a Tupperware container with warm water and shampoo and let the brush soak face down for about 15 minutes. Once the hair has become loose I take the brush out and using a fine tooth comb begin to brush the hair out from base of the bristles outward.

STEP THREE // Applying mousse all over to will help you get the hold you need. Again my hair is fine, and therefore needs a lot of product to hold in place all day. I make sure to apply mousse from the top of my head all the way down to the ends. At this point my hair is still damp, so I will run the blowdryer all over for about two to three minutes. I typically still leave my hair slightly damp while continuing to style. I have found my hair tends to stay better and will completely dry slowly throughout the morning while styled. After damaging my hair pretty badly over the years, I try to avoid applying any type of heat! I use this mousse, and while it says it is for curls, this is the styling product I have found works best for me!

STEP FOUR // Using the boar bristle brush I pull my hair back into a low tight pony tail. Overall I want it is be smooth, straight and tight. I don’t worry about the small flyaways as I get those later!

STEP FIVE // Now that my hair is pulled back I smooth it out further and capture the smaller flyaways by applying a top coat of serum. This Kerastase serum is my favorite and also comes in a handy travel size. I also use Moroccanoil original treatment for this step – I kind of trade off from time to time!

STEP SIX // Tightly twist your pony into a tight bun and using a mix of hair pins (these and these work well together), apply five to six to the base of the bun to hold it in place. Sometimes I’ll have to twist and then re-twist to get the positioning just right!

STEP SEVEN // I then apply a fine mist of this Kerastase oil for a high shine effect. After applying I use a toothbrush (which I obviously only use on my hair…felt like I needed to say that) to look for any last flyaways and brush them down lightly.

STEP EIGHT // USE ALL OF THE HAIRSPRAY. I swear by L’Oreal’s Elnett Satin Hairspray. It is the perfect weight, comes out as an ultra fine mist, and stays all day. I also keep a good stock of the travel size, which you can find here.

TA-DA all done! Here I am wearing a Lele Sadoughi headband, Lele earrings, and polka dot top from my Atlantic-Pacific x Halogen collaboration from last year! Answering a few more of your hair related questions below!

Q: Where do you get your hair done?

A: I see Zach at Voe Studio in Brooklyn. Zach has been handling my hair for almost five years now. He is knowledgeable, really listens, so talented and overall is simply a wonderful and kind person. It has been harder getting to see him in NYC during the pandemic (as we have been spending more time in Florida) so I ahve also been going to see Cheyanne Clark here in Sarasota! She is fantastic.

Q: When you DO curl your hair what tools and products do you use?

A: I use almost all of the same products listed above! Also for curling irons, this T3 wand is my all-time favorite. I use the 1 1/2” barrel on my hair. When I do curl my hair I apply clip-in extensions to give myself a little more length and volume!

Q: What is your natural hair color and what would I ask my colorist to do if I wanted to achieve your blonde look?

A: My natural hair color is a mousey brown! Zach baby lights my entire head except for around my hairline. Around the hairline he takes a thicker slice, creating a punchy focal point around the face. He also applies a root shadow glaze to my base to soften the grow out. This allows me to avoid the harsh line grow out and reduces trips to the salon. I go to the salon about every 6-8 weeks for a half head highlight. I only do a full highlight three times per year.

MY DAILY MAKE UP ROUTINE

Hey! It’s my FACE! I have gotten an uptick recently in reader DMs and emails requesting my daily beauty and hair routine so I am reposting here to the front page. As always if you ever have a question feel free to DM me or email me ([email protected])! Now onto my tutorial…

I first tried Charlotte Tilbury’s products a few years back, and I have to say, it was a complete game changer for me. I use other brands, as you will see below, but as of late, Charlotte Tilbury has been dominating my beauty cabinet. It sounds super cheesy, but sometimes you find a brand that makes you feel like the best version of yourself, and Charlotte Tilbury does just that for me.

STEP ONE // First, I always moisturize with Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. I will switch up my moisturizers and will also use this, this and this from time to time!

Why I love it? As someone with normal skin and a slightly oily T zone, I find that thicker, non-oily creams work best on my face. The Charlotte Tilbury Magic cream is thick, non-oily, and a little goes a long way. This product seems to last and last!

STEP TWO // Using my fingertips, I apply Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter (shade number 2) all over my face.

Why I love it? I don’t like wearing heavy foundations, but do want something that evens out my skin and provides a thin layer of coverage. The Charlotte Tilbury Flawless filter achieves that while also creating an all over highlighter glow that leaves my skin looking and feeling dewy and fresh. This look may be a bit much for some, and I know several friends who use this product, but prefer it more sparingly and only on cheekbones, bridge of the nose, etc. If I am looking *extra tired* I will sometimes apply shape tape below my eyes to brighten!

STEP THREE // Using a large featherweight powder brush I lightly apply a small amount of Laura Mercier Mineral Powder all over, and in a circular, sweeping motion.

Why I love it? This lightweight mineral powder helps to provide a bit of coverage, takes down the shine on my face ever so slightly, and sets my moisturizer and foundation for long days ahead.

STEP FOUR // Next, I contour using a the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Duo. Using a sculpting brush I’ll apply the bronzer below my cheekbones, along the sides of my nose, and across the top of my forehead/hairline. I then apply the highlighter to my cheekbones, bridge of my nose, center of my forehead, temples, and center of my chin. Using a blending brush I then blend together so everything looks more natural.

Why I love it? Contouring can be hard and finding the right product can be super confusing. I found this product matched my skin tone perfectly, was easy to apply, and lasted throughout the day!

STEP FIVE // Using the Charlotte Tilbury Eyebrow Gel (shade ‘supermodel’) I brush the gel upward on my eyebrows to help darken them as well as give a fuller look.

Why I love it? Having lighter brows, I have found filling in my eyebrows with a pencil looks too harsh and un-natural on me. This gel enables my brows to look fuller, darker, and more natural, all in a really easy and quick to apply step!

STEP SIX // I create more dimension in my eyes by applying two shades of shadow from the Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette (shade ‘the sophisticate). I apply the lightest shade all over my lids, then using a crease brush, apply the next darkest shade to the creases of my eyelids.

Why I love it? I love all of my makeup to reside in more of the brown/tan world vs. anything with red or pink undertones. This palette is a beautiful tan/neutral shade that doesn’t flare too orange (as many tan/brown shadows do) and it also does not have any shimmer. I prefer any shadow I use to be flat or matte. It can be difficult to find the right shade that also doesn’t have any shimmer and shine to it – but this one fits the bill.

STEP SEVEN // Next, I get dramatic and add a cat eye. Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Liner has been a staple for me for the past seven years. The very fine, easy to use marker-tip allows me to quickly and accurately draw on a simple cat eye each morning.

Why I love it? It is waterproof, easy to apply, SUPER black in color, and the tip doesn’t become worn or lose its accuracy over time.

STEP EIGHT // Add this mascara to help open up the eye and complement my shadow and cat eye!

Why I love it? This mascara is super thickening (without lots of clumps) and lengthens nicely. It stays on amazingly well throughout the day and never flakes off!

STEP NINE // If you have been following me for a number of years you know Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick is my FAVORITE. While living in SF, and through my early days in NYC, I constantly wore Beso but over the past few years I’ve switched it up and Baci has been my newest go-to!

Why I love it? It is a liquid lipstick that goes on easy and dries matte. If you do not like having anything dry/matte on your lips this product probably isn’t for you. It stays on all day – even through meals – and is simply an incredible formula overall.

STEP TEN // The final step is to set it all! I use Urban Decay All-Nighter to set my final look. From about a foot away from my face, I spray 4-5 times in a simple T motion.

Why I love it? For the price, it is the best setting formula I have found. I works like a charm and isn’t oily or sticky.

And drumroll…HERE IS MY FACE ALL DONE!

How to Become a Fashion Designer And Achieve Dolce&Gabbana Fame

A fashion designer is one of the most prestigious and sought-after creative professions. The fashion industry is characterized by high competition and the pace of development. But at the same time, it provides an opportunity to realize the creative potential, gain global recognition, and a high income. The experts of cheappaperwriting.com have prepared a guide on what steps you should take to become a fashion designer.

Step 1. Decide on a direction

You can make a name for yourself in many different areas. They are the creation of women’s, men’s, children’s, sportswear, underwear, costumes for theater, sports, and film. You can become a print or textile designer, stylist, creative technologist, fashion illustrator.

Tip:

Attend professional events.

Don’t miss fashion shows, seminars, and workshops.

Stay on topic and keep up with everything that is happening in the industry.

Step 2. Get to know the profession from the inside

The fashion design profession is often chosen based on a superficial understanding of the fashion world. To get a sense of what’s behind the gloss of the fashion shows, try to find an internship and see what a designer’s day-to-day work consists of. Make sure you’re comfortable with technical sketches, design, creating patterns and layouts, sewing, and many hours of trying on.

Step 3. Get an education

If the internship has convinced you of the correctness of your choice – start looking for a university. Professional education in this field is just as necessary as in any other.

You need to know:

the history of fashion and costume;

peculiarities of work with different kinds of fabrics, leather, fur;

stages of clothes creation – from illustration to the catwalk;

methods of market analysis and trend forecasting.

Must be able to:

draw by hand and in computer programs;

cut and sew;

understand the needs of the target audience;

anticipate and take into account fashion trends;

offer non-standard solutions.

Some of the best quality programs in fashion are offered by Italian universities. They provide deep immersion in the profession and allow students to cooperate with well-known studios and fashion houses during their studies.

The advantage of Italian education is its focus on practice. For example, while studying fashion design, students and graduates present their collections at fashion weeks. As a result, their work has been published in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair, and GQ magazines.

Tip: essay writer today advises finding your style. Look for inspiration and ideas in various places: travel, visit exhibitions, study culture and traditions, meet new people.

By the end of your studies, you graduate with a creative portfolio or diploma. In addition, you have a whole collection on hand, which students showcase at fashion shows inside and outside the university.

For example, talented students from Istituto Marangoni designed a clothing collection inspired by the Disney film “Alice in Wonderland.” The finished work participated in the fashion show. The result was appreciated not only by the media but also by the Disney Company.

Seven reasons to study design abroad

The opportunity to learn from practicing teachers and fashion maestros. For example, Guy Trussardi, director of the Trussardi fashion house; Sara Maino, editor of Vogue Italia; and Ennio Capaz, creator of the Costume National brand. All teach at Domus.

Inter-university mobility. For example, Mod’Art students can continue their education at partner universities in the U.S. (Berkley College New York), UK (London College of Fashion and London Metropolitan University), and other countries.

Study in an international team.

Workshops in production and studios. Students join together in creative collaborations and create their collections.

Internships at fashion houses and global companies. Among them are Valentino Fashion Group, Giorgio Armani, Trussardi, Versace, Missoni, and Swatch.

Participation in fashion shows and international competitions. For instance, Milano Fashion Week, Business Links, Paris London Week.

Modern campus facilities. Students access 2D and 3D scanners for measuring, studios, and media libraries with up-to-date materials.

Where to study Fashion Design

Istituto Marangoni (Milan, Paris, London, Florence)

The leading creative university in Europe is among the top 5 best fashion universities globally (Fashionista, 2016). Domenico Dolce is one of the most famous graduates. The institute offers a one-year intensive, three-year program (equivalent to a bachelor’s degree), a semester postgraduate program, one-year master’s courses (Women’s Fashion Design, Men’s Fashion Design, and others), and short summer programs.

Domus Academy (Milan)

One of the most famous universities of design, fashion, and architecture is one of the top 8 universities in the world in interior design (Azure Magazine, 2016). The university regularly holds seminars with Roberto Cavalli, Marni, Moncler, Costume National, Ferragamo, Helena Rubinstein (L’Oreal), Red Valentino, etc.

NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti Milano (Milan)

The world-renowned academy of art and design is one of the top 50 design schools (Domus Magazine, 2014). It offers undergraduate and graduate programs as well as summer courses. The Italian Ministry of Education accredits all programs. In addition, the university cooperates with well-known companies. This approach provides students with the opportunity to work on real projects.

No matter what university you go to, you may need help from online services. Professional writers will help you with any writing assignment. Including writing business personal statement examples and tips.

Where do design and fashion graduates work?

A diploma from a foreign university gives a considerable advantage in employment. Graduates of European and American design and fashion schools are in demand in domestic and foreign fashion houses. Young fashion designers, who graduated from a university abroad, were trained according to new programs. As a result, they are aware of current and future fashion trends. Also, have up-to-date information from teachers-practitioners. Thus, having such a specialist in the team increases the company’s creative and commercial success.
