MEMORIAL DAY FASHION TRENDS

What will you be wearing this weekend? Do you have any special Memorial Day trends you can’t wait to show off?

Although there will be a lot going on around town this weekend, take a moment to be reminded of what Memorial Day is all about. It is not about the barbecues and the parties, it is about honoring and remembering the fallen soldiers who put their lives on the line for our rights and freedom. So, I would like to thank anyone who is serving or has served in the Armed Forces of the United States. Thank you for your bravery and dedication to our country.

With that said, what are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? Well whatever it is, will you be showing up in style?

Here are a few Memorial Day fashion trends to inspire your outfit for this weekend’s festivities:

Cool Change white fringe jacket / Hudson denim shorts / Lace Bra / Asos shoes (similar) / silver purse (similar)/ Bobbi Brown bronzer / Nars cosmetic / Deborah lippmann nail polish

Crop top / Rag & bone/JEAN relaxed jeans / J.Crew gladiator sandals / Loft Watch / ASOS set ring / Bobbi Brown lipgloss

THE NEXT FACE OF RIMMEL LONDON?

A few weeks back at Miami International Fashion Week, I signed up for a Rimmel London modeling contest. I honestly only signed up because I was asked to do so, and I was getting free goodies :) But, the thought that I’d even come close to winning didn’t even cross my mind.

Anyway, about a week ago I got an email that I was selected as one of the top 20 semi-finalists. I was (and still am) very flattered that I was chosen to move forward in this nation-wide contest!

As one of the the top 20 finalists, I was asked to send in a few extra head shots. Well, Vannia and I had a mini-photo-shoot to get a few different shots to send to the judges. Not only is Vannia a great writer and a fashionista, but I also learned that she’s a pretty good photographer! I wonder what else she’ll pull out of her sleeve! ;)

Wavy hair, straight hair, and loads of make-up later…we chose these shots to send in. I’d thought it’d be fun to share them with you, so here they are!

No matter what happens, all of this has been a blast; and I’m proud to say that little ‘ol 5’1 me was chosen as a semi-finalist in a modeling contest. (Okay, okay it’s not runway modeling but still!)

Did I forget to mention the PRIZE?! The top 3 finalist will be flown to New York City where they will meet the Rimmel London Team and Storm Model Management. From there the grand prize winner will be chosen, and that lucky gal will get a $30,000 year contract with Rimmel London.

YES I JUST SAID $30,000 YEAR CONTRACT (that’s a lifetimes worth of money for a college girl).

So, all I can ask YOU to do is to keep your fingers crossed! I’ll keep you posted with the results.

May the best “model” win! :)
