Trosalynn's Closet Envy

Hello HH's This beautiful color may have been made famous by Carrie Bradshaw in SATC when she wore the infamous Blue Manolo’s but I must say the last few weeks of March when my boyfriend and I were shopping in Mango at Sandton City Mall is when this little jacket caught my attention. I may save the shoes for my something blue on my wedding but this jacket sure has my heart for the meantime and my Zara Handbag from DC just adds that little oomph in my winter step. This color is so amazing and is my current color crush. Though it’s been mainly linked to being a winter color, there are summer pieces that work in this color as well. I like to tone it down somewhat when I pair it during weekdays for work, but wear it as loud as I want to on weekends. I go for a darker combination color such as black for the office as shown in my outfit post today just to make it blend in the corporate world. I am on the lookout for some cobalt blue pants I could possibly pair with a white tank top for...

Red lipstick is just my obsession what can I say. In recent years anything bold and beautiful is what I tend to stick to. Red lipstick has been popular since the 1920’s. Let’s just say red lips are here to stay for a few more seasons and best of all it’s a universal classic that’s still holding on to the style edge all the way from back in the Old Hollywood styles. Many women feel they may not be able to wear this color but I have news for you – We all can. And you know that traditionally red lips have been linked to the sex appeal of a woman, so all women should try this out. 1. Your Make-Up Face Make sure you are very clean with little nude shadows and blush. 2. Line Them Lips We all know this, lipstick tends to bleed out so be sure to use a liner that compliments your lip color. 3. Be Your Choice Depending on your skin tone the shade may vary but we all can blaze red lips. 4. Nail Clash So lately we see a lot of matchy-matchy lips and make-up. Well guess what? You can...

I figured I should just send a quick note saying hello to everyone...

The year is almost half way gone. Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thursday!!! From my heart to yours... "Elegance is a question of personality, more than one's clothing". ~ Jean-Paul Gaultier

“When you know yourself, your value is presented. You soon begin to understand that there will only be one you so there’s no need to envy or try to duplicate another.” -Germaine Moody It is very interesting that women in our generation are so independent, driven and goal oriented. As a result we are achieving career goals that were unimaginable 50 years ago. With the rise of independent women who are mostly single and at the height of divorce rates it makes me wonder are we conquering corporations and not the home because we have lost the role of acting like a lady? Though we may be teetering or wavering between roles in most circumstances, we should not stop taking on that old fashioned role of being a lady. - Now these are things I use on a regular and I hope you do too… Be Lovely: Let’s be honest, you have to be fun and no one wants to be around a party pooper but rather a fresh breath of air. You should always be the highlight of the party and people should want to be around...

Truth be told I am living by these words lately, What you put in your body is far more important than what you apply externally. I’m not saying that one should not moisturize the face, scalp your hair etc, the two work hand in hand but internal plays a bigger role than external applications. These following 10 foods will not only make you feel fantastic but you’ll have great hair, amazing skin and your body will be banging… 1. COCONUT OIL I’ve been reading up and watching a lot of youtube videos and what do you know coconut oil does wonders for our immune systems. It’s good for the heart and ofcourse it helps with making your skin glow and hairline shine. A teaspoon of this everyday gets you a step closer to a better self. 2. SALMON I Hear Seafood… Now we all know Salmon is delicious and provides us with Omega 3. For balanced health we need both Omega 6 and Omega 3. In most cases we tend to get much of Omega 6 and lack in the other. Some of the great sources I have found over the...
