2012 Fashion Resolution #1

January 23, 2012 Michelle Clothes, fashion, projects, what I want to wear

The first month of 2012 is almost over and I’m just getting started on my resolutions! My first fashion resolution is….

to wear heels/wedges/shoes with height at least one to two days a week.

Why you ask? Because for 2 years all I wore every day was heels to work. Then, I got a job where I’m on my feet most of the day and heels weren’t practical.

Though that was the reality, it doesn’t mean I don’t still LOVE my heels! I look at them longingly wishing I had an occasion to wear them.

No MORE!

I will make an occasion to wear them…whenever,wherever. I don’t believe that heels are just for special occasions. This new resolution starts this week! Every month I’ll do a recap of the heels that I wore during the month! Cheers to starting a new challenge!

I’ve got winter wedding reception to attend this Friday! Whoo hoo! Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Z! I’m about 90% of what I’m gonna wear (black and gold), how to do my hair (long waves, maybe bows) , and how to do my makeup (red lips and winged eyeliner). Here’s what’s inspired me!

The Updated Up Dos

January 16, 2012 Michelle Hair, inspiration

Don’t lose your marbles just yet, but I’m back! How are you feeling this 2012? I can’t believe the month is already half way over! We took a fun little vacay and did a bunch of outdoor activities (hiking, fishing, camp-firing and more) I took tons of pictures which you’ll probably see here. And most of all we had a wonderful holiday season. I’m back and ready to blog with passion! I’ve got another unexpected trip this next weekend which will lead to some fun posts:

packing it all in a carry on
winter wedding wear
easy travel wear

and maybe more…but for now let’s talk about hair.

I’ve been growing out my hair (lengthwise and colorwise) for a year now. It’s gotten extremely long! (pictures to follow soon) and I’m having a hard time figuring out what to do with it. huh? what? My favorite way to wear it is curled, but I’m too lazy lately. I’ve been pulling it back and blowdrying it quite a bit. 1/2 up and down, middle part with pinned back bangs, and pony tails have been my go to’s.

That’s why I’ve been on the search for different, cute, and sleek styles that I’m not bored of yet!

THE SOCK BUN

Made In Pretoria has THE best visual tutorial!!

Overview: Take a sock, cut off the toe. Roll sock into a round doughnut looking thing. Make a high ponytail on your head. Pull end of pony through the middle of sock doughnut. Wrap end of pony around doughnut. Roll pony and doughnut down toward head. Slightly pull hair around doughnut to hide sock.

THE LOOP

This one comes from Penny Pincher Fashion (picture too!)

Overview: Pull your hair into a low pony. Take out a small section at the very bottom of the pony (This will be used later.) Start to tie up pony with an elastic. On the last pull through, only pull it half way. Leave it in the loop form. Take the small loose section and wrap around elastic. Bobby pin the spare hair underneath.

THE BUBBLE PONYTAIL

Jessica Harlow has a video of it too!

Overview: Tease top of hair. Pull into a pony in the middle of head. Pull out hair near the face. Use clear elastics (3 to 4) to wrap sections to form “bubbles”.

Happy 3rd Birthday!

December 22, 2011 Michelle personal

Today is my blog birthday!

The Fierce Glamour is 3 years old!

I can’t believe how fast it seems to have gone. It kind of gets lost on the shuffle of Christmas, but I never forget it! As other bloggers can probably agree, I feel like this blog is one of my best friends. I spend a lot of time and thought on content, posts, pictures, and where it is going. Each year brings a little more growth. This year:

I’ve participated in some big fashion challenges “Bloggers Do It Better” and “IFB Challenges“
You’ve seen more outfit posts.
I hosted my first giveaway and my first Link-up post.
My posts are now featured on BSCENEmag.com.

You’ll see a lot more stuff to come this next year. Better content that’s fresh for you and fun for me to write. I’m hoping to attend the Texas Style Council, feature guest posts, do more product reviews, and host more giveaways. I look forward to an even better future for The Fierce Glamour and hope you stay along for the ride. Most of all, thank YOU for clicking on my little home of the web and staying interested! I appreciate it!
