Heads Up, Rich Girls! Prepping for a Big Event

When it comes time to get ready for a night on the town with that special guy (dinner, dancing – you know the drill), a gala event of the black-tie variety, or a trip down the red carpet, you need to make sure that you’re looking your best, dressed to impress, and done up like the doll you are. But while the right shoes, dress, and undergarments (hello, Spanx!) can go a long way towards helping you look the part, even the most flattering ensemble can fall flat if you flub the view above the shoulders. In order for rich girls to turn some heads you’re going to need the perfect hair, makeup, and smile to dazzle any would-be suitors (or paparazzi). Here are just a few tips to get you on track for a killer appearance.

1. Super smile. Ladies, this is where the magic starts. Nobody will take a second look when you’ve got a snaggle-tooth, fuzzy gums, and coffee stains galore. You need a gorgeous smile if you’re going to entice Mr. Right onto the dance-floor or glam up the society page. Probably your teeth aren’t as bad as all that, but every six months or so you’re going to need a little touch up. So get yourself some whitening strips or head to the dentist for laser whitening a few days before the big event. Then charm the pants off anyone close enough to check your chiclets!

2. Prepping your skin. If you’ve got some acne issues (as many of us do), see your dermatologist for a daily regimen and hit up the spa for a facial a few days out. Facials can leave you red and splotchy for a couple days, so you’ve got to plan this carefully, but by day five you should have a smooth, glowing surface on which to apply your makeup. Start with a wash, a scrub, and a mud mask on the day of the event to slough off dead skin and tighten pores. Then apply a light, non-greasy moisturizer to get your skin dewy and ready to receive makeup.

3. Rack focus. No, this does not mean people should be focusing on your fabulous rack! Eyes up! It simply indicates that you need to make a decision when you begin applying makeup; do you want the focus on your eyes or your lips? These two prominent and alluring features need not be at war as long as you pick one or the other for maximum seductive power. If you have full, plump lips, you may be tempted to play up your pout with a hot shade of lipstick. But take a page from Angelina Jolie and tone it down with the liner. You don’t want to look freakish, so keep the lips nude with a slick of gloss and opt instead for a sexy, smoky eye. Have some fun with a night look by using opposite colors to make those flashing orbs pop (purples for brown-eyed girls, earthy browns for blue eyes, and pink or maroon for the girls with green eyes).

4. Cut, color, coiffure. To up-do or not is a big decision, so try to choose by event. Going to a gala? Go for the sophisticated up-do. For a night at the club, keep your locks loose and flowing. If you want to look your best, go for a trim and touch up those roots at least a week beforehand (maybe even two) so that your hair will look natural, not treated, the night you go out.

5. Finishing touches. You already look amazing, but you can still add a bit of bling to finish off your look. Diamond studs are always a nice touch (and great for the club since they won’t be hitting you in the face like those giant hoops you wore last time), while some glitzy drops add class to strapless evening gown (leave the neckline spare and bare). Skip the hair jewelry, which will only make you look like you’re attending a prom and opt for a shine spray instead to leave your tresses tantalizingly sleek.

Michael Kors – luxury lifestyle

Rich Girls love Michael Kors designs and I am not the exception.

Actually, I am not into brands, I love things which are of good quality and for me label doesn’t mean a lot. But there is one brand I adore and this brand is Michael Kors. Maybe it is because me and the label were born at the same year?!

I love Michael Kors’ boutique on Rodeo Drive, I have already bought a bag, a purse, a jacket, boots, a couple of sweaters, jeans and a lot of other things there and I know that I will come back for more!!

Not only I love this brand among the celebrities who have worn Michael Kors’ designs are Jennifer Lopez, Elissa, Heidi Klum, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Charlize Theron, Pierce Brosnan, Barbara Streisand, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anjelica Huston, Kate Bosworth, Sigourney Weaver, Usher, Liv Tyler, Rene Russo etc. Joan Allen wore his gown when she was nominated for an Academy Award for “Best Actress” for her role in The Contender. In addition, Jennifer Garner wore a custom creation as an Academy Award presenter in 2006.

As it states on the Michael Kors official website:

Michael Kors is the leading American fashion designer for luxury accessories and sportswear. The company’s heritage is rooted in producing polished, sleek, sophisticated American sportswear with a jet-set attitude. Whether Aspen, Palm Beach or Capri, our mission is to bring our vision of a jet-set, luxury lifestyle to women and men around the globe. Our products, emblematic of the highest standard of quality, include apparel, accessories and beauty. Our lifestyle-driven company embraces the highest standards of creativity, quality, technology and human resources.

Michael Kors began his career in fashion at the age of 19 designing and merchandising a collection for the renowned boutique Lothar’s in New York City. The success of these clothes caught the attention of the fashion press, prompting Kors to strike out on his own. In 1981 the Michael Kors label was formed; his first women’s collection was launched at Bergdorf Goodman and Saks fifth avenue, among other stores. Since his collection was established, it has never strayed from Kors’ initial vision of chic, luxurious American sportswear.

Michael Kors collection flagship boutiques are located in the United States on Madison avenue, at the Americana Manhasset and on rodeo drive in Beverly Hills; international boutiques are located in Hong Kong and Dubai.

Michael Kors received Dupont’s first American original award in 1983 and was awarded the Elle/Cadillac Fashion Award for Excellence in 1995. In addition, he has won two CFDA awards, the most prestigious award in the fashion industry. In 1999, he received the CFDA award for womenswear designer of the year and in 2003, he received the CFDA award for menswear designer of the year. Michael has been a judge on the Emmy-nominated reality television program Project Runway, which currently airs on Bravo.

One more reason why I love Michael Kors is that you don’t need to be super rich to wear his designs and look glamorous and hot. His bags, shoes and outwear are worth saving your money for

Writing this post and looking at these pictures made me feel like rushing to Rodeo Drive!

Update: check out the post about my visit to brand new Michael Kors boutique in Paris.

Yours,

Rich Girl
