myTakes: Fashion & Beauty

If your main purpose on the beach is to tan - a two piece is definitely for you! You have a variety of colors and patterns to choose from... A more aggressive approach may be a strappy swimsuit - but this one is better...

One piece swimsuits can be quite chic... One piece swimsuits are much more convenient! They don't rise up... Or down... They're more comfortable... They're better if you actually plan to swim... There's a much...

It's Summer... It's hot outside. It can be unbearable... Sometimes we just need to wear less to feel comfortable. How do you meld formal with skin showing? A dress with a slit or two sure helps relieve the heat....

That awesome shorts jumpsuit you just can't miss out on during this Summer season! That pretty cool shirt that's open on the sides so the breeze can cool your skin without actually exposing most of it. Convenient! Those...

Neutral bub bright at the same time - tassels pair well with any skirt for a night or day on the town. Rose gold straps around a tanned ankle - what more can you ask for?! Gladiator sandals with a small metallic accent...

1. Penny loafers They are like stilettos but there is a big difference. These are a lot more comfortable. Penny loafers are quite useful. Every guy should have some pairs of them in their closet. Because you can wear...

At some point during a photo shoot, whether it's a girl or guy, someone always either seriously tells me or asks me, if I'm going to photoshop this or that. People seem to always want the digital plastic surgery...

This mytake is inspired by conversations I had with a few gaggers and gaggers arguing that Golden Ratio/"averageness" is a reliable indicator of beauty. The golden ratio is a tool that measures facial proportions but it's...

So you want to wear a romper, huh? You've made the executive decision that today is the day. It's hot enough outside, you care not if rompers are allegedly supposed to be for kids only or women only...forget all...

There are many pretty men... They have the perfect eyes, the pouty lips, the flowy hair...but they don't give off a feminine vibe at all. The perfect example: Zakk Wylde He's always been pretty... Some might say perfect...

Realism: Realistic tattoos are pretty straight forward they look like a photograph of your body, It is very important to get a tattoo artist that specializes in realistic tattoos because if they don't it's easy to end up...

Wet curly hair... ...or dry, messy, relatively straight hair with a layered cut... ...or maybe really short hair with sunlit streaks running through it... ...or a dark, side swept fringe longer on the dominant side,......

A ponytail/braid style tied with own hair certainly adds a specific charm to your beach day - and keeps your hair out of your face! Beachy waves for different hair textures! A messy, slightly lop sided bun! Braids with...

A casual wet look - tousled on the beach - relaxed and natural for sure. Wet look going into the 20's - a home run for sure! A truly combed back hairstyle with a twist in the back - wet look of the Summer! A classic...

The wet look is definitely in - EVERY Summer! You can go the simple rout and encircle your eyes with a shiny color contrasted with your eyes. Using a darker color and lightening it with your lip-gloss (the non sticky...

Fresh looking pair of eyelashes can definitely elevate your whole look - and they always do. Make sure there are no clumps by wiggling your wand when applying mascara. Make sure your eyelashes are defined and not...

When you think of a Summer color metallics certainly come to mind - with their Summer feel > look on tanned skin... It just works. Whether you're painting your hands in inspiration of henna tattoos... ...or as an art...

There has been a lot of talk about how women should be able to dress however they want. And I agree that no dress-code should ever be the law and it'd be great if we could all always wear what we wanted without any...

Try using an uncommon lipstick color and match your nail polish to it. Use a metallic lipstick shade that compliments your skin's undertones. Use the ombre technique in a horizontal way - it makes a strange difference....

So I thought I would do a few MyTakes about tattoo styles and what makes a style that style. Hopefully this little series will help people who want to start getting tattoos (or for people who already have tattoos but want...
