Many women before us have followed the classic style of Audrey Hepburn, and you can too for prom 2016. Audrey Hepburn’s wardrobe was filled with a range of classic fashion staples women still wear today: the little black dress, fitted pants, cropped silhouettes, and a wide and envious assortment of earrings and hats. She wasn’t afraid to wear a suit or pants and always maintained an incredible aura of femininity with her choices of outfits.
One of the best things that we at vast selection of elegant prom dresses love best about Audrey Hepburn’s style was her hearty attitude. She could make some amazing ground-breaking choices simple because she was so confident in her own skin and never took life too seriously. So take a leaf out of her book and learn a couple of style lessons from the legend that you can apply to prom 2016.

Sometimes All You Need Is a Simple Dress
Let your natural features steal the attention and choose an elegant and simple prom dress, such as a Scala prom dress designed by SCALA Eveningwear Inc.
Gloves Add An Element of Sophistication To Any Outfit
Weren’t even considering gloves for prom? Think again – Hepburn’s cute look was always elevated by a pair of immaculate white gloves.
Always Accessorize
Not only for prom, but never leave home without accessories to complement your outfit.
A Belt Clasped in the Middle of a Dress Makes for a Lovely Shape
Hepburn would always amp up her dresses with a tight belt and beret. You can skip the beret, but if your dress can pull off a belt, go for it.
You Don’t Need to Be Royalty To Wear a Crown
Hepburn knew that every women deserved to be treated like a princess.
You Don’t Always Have to Wear Your Bangs Straight Across The Forehead
Play around with your ‘do for an asymmetrical and eddy cut-up look for prom.
A Bold Red Lip Will Never Do You Wrong
Audrey Hepburn knew this and used it as an essential trick of the trade.
Colour Blocking Can Create That Classic Look
Add a little fun to your prom style with eye-catching earrings or chunky heels.
It’s Oaky To Step Out in Funky, Bold Prints
When Hepburn wore strong patterned dresses, she balanced them with feminine makeup and accessories.
Why Not Take a Fashion Risk?
Go ahead and wear that unique item or prom dress. Hepburn was a complete individual and it always worked for her.
Find a Practical, Classic Bag
Choose a simple and practical purse to compliment your prom outfit.
Opt for a Different Take on Your Prom Dress If You Really Want to Stand Out
Go for something different like a short prom dress and fascinator to really stand out on prom night.
Soften Up a Short Hair Do With Expertly Placed Dark Eyeliner
Hepburn always ensured she donned an ultra-feminine face because she knew just how powerful great eye makeup could be.
Babydoll Dresses Look Good, No Matter the Era
Just don’t pick a prom dress that is too juvenile-looking, rather something tasteful.
Long Lashes are Ravishing
Beautiful lashes are simply stunning.
One final lesson is to be sure you pick a prom dress you feel comfortable in, and feel like yourself in. It’s important to be natural, comfortable, and happy on prom night so you can dance the night away and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Hello Beautiful People,
The weather has been unseasonably warm and cold this winter during Christmas and the temperatures can leave my skin feeling dry and flaky.
Good skincare started in my teens, making sure I used a good cleanser, toner and a good moisturizer. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin so I had to be really picky what products I use on my face. I introduced serum into my skincare regime a number of years ago, I didn’t see wrinkles but wanted to maintain and keep the skin tightness and youthful appearance I have.
When I apply the serum I massage my face and it becomes a spa experience.
Serum gives your moisturizer a one-two punch of extra antioxidants and ingredients that works with your moisturizer.
Naturel Commodity Vitamin C Super Youth Serum is light orange in appearance. A little goes a long way, so no need to increase product usage amount. I like how the serum feels on my skin and it absorbs into the skin and doesn’t feel sticky or tacky. The Serum can be purchased form Amazon and can be purchased for $29.77.
Natural Commodity Vitamin C Super Youth Serum key ingredients
Clinical Strength 20% Vitamin C
11% Hyaluronic Acid
Aloe Vera
I really like their 90 day Money back guarantee
“BUY WITH CONFIDENCE! Our POWERFUL VITAMIN C is 100% guaranteed to be the fastest working and most effective Vitamin C Serum on the market today. We back our products up with a 90 day full money back guarantee. There is absolutely no risk to you when you ORDER NOW! This serum works extremely well or your money back (you do not even have to return the bottle). Why waste money on unnatural and lower quality products when you have the opportunity to try the BEST Vitamin C Serum on the market with zero risk?”
The bottle is 1.0 Fl. Oz. and it will last a long time. One pump is all I need.
If you are looking for a power pack serum that packs an anti-aging the Natural Commodity Vitamin C Super Youth Serum is for you.

Hello Elegant Readers,
I pray that everyone is having a peaceful start to the New Year. 2016 is looking great with many wonderful opportunities. Be sure to seize the opportunities that are lay ahead and make this the best year of your life.
With the Christmas shopping season behind us, it is time to turn our attention to the next holiday — Valentine’s Day. I know what you are thinking, “I just have gotten over the Christmas season.” Although Valentine’s Day is still over month away, it is never to early to get that special gift for the man in your life. Is your husband difficult to buy for? Does he never give you any clues as what he wants or needs? May I recommend the XYZlicone Wedding Ring to make your decision-process quick and easy. It is available on Amazon and is currently offered on sale for $19.97.
My hubby wearing his XYZlicone Wedding Ring as a right-hand ring.
Buying a Valentine’s Day gift for your hubby may be more difficult because women’s gifts typically are the main focus. Flowers and chocolates make great gifts for wife and girlfriends, but for hubbies, not so much. What better way to show your man that you love him, but with a bold black silicon ring, which could worn as a wedding ring or as a right-handed ring. My hubby wears his a right-hand ring and wears it with a pinky ring, as seen in the photo above.
The XYZlicone ring is quite versatile and I would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a unique piece to give your hubby.
* The silicone is durable and holds up to everyday wear and tear. My hubby has not had any problems with his since he has been wearing it.
* The ring is stylish and on trend right now. I have seen a few other men wearing similar rings while I have been out and about.
* The ring makes a bold statement, but it so light-weight that it can be worn without even noticing it.
* The 8mm width to the ring has a noticeable presence, but without being overpowering.
* The ring will slip on your finger with ease because it is a flexible silicon.
* When purchased from Amazon, it comes with a second ring as a bonus. Just a note, the second ring is one size up from what I had ordered.
I recommend the XYZlicone Wedding Ring to anyone who looking for a unique style that is comfortable. Whether you pick this for your hubby, or men, you are purchasing this for yourself, neither one of you will be disappointed.
If you have already purchased this ring or if you are will purchase, let me know what you think about it. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.

Hi Beautiful People,
The weather has gone from warm, to wet and rainy, and now to fresh fallen snow. Wintertime, seeing the snow falling is such a peaceful and beautiful scene. Temperatures in the Midwest will be dropping to the twenties by this evening. Being moisturized is a must because being inside with dry heat can leave our skin feeling dry. There is nothing worse than my skin feeling dry and itchy from the heat.
An important part of my facial regime is a eye cream packs a punch; but is also gentle to my skin. I want to look bright-eyed and refreshed with that inner glow never leaving my skin. Who wants to hear from a friend or a colleague that you look, tired especially when you are not? Not me.
I recently had the opportunity to try the VALENTIA TRUE GLOW EYE CREAM Intensive Corrective Eye Treatment. I wanted to see how it worked around my eyes because my skin is very sensitive to creams and serums. I had to be very selective because some products in the past have left my skin red and itchy.
The claims on the Valentia packaging include:
Reduces wrinkles
Nourishes & hydrates
Tightens Eye are
Brightens dark circles
Restores radiance
VALENTIA also says the eye cream is alcohol free, paraben free and suitable for all skin types.
Key ingredients (listed on packaging):
* Astanxaanthin: A powerful antioxidant that increases moisture levels, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and restores elasticity to the skin.
* Resistem: Natural plant Stem cells repair protects the skin from stress related aging.
* Vitamin C: Leaves the skin smooth and visibly brighter for well-rested and bright eye look.
* Organic Rose Hip oil: Intense hydration to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
* Arnica: Anti-inflammatory agent key to the restorative process.
VALENTIA TRUE GLOW eye cream is made with 98% natural ingredients, is manufactured in the United States and is cruelty free. The glass bottle is 1.18 FL. OZ, so this will last me a long time.
Directions:
Apply every morning or night after cleansing. Apply a small amount to the eye area using a gentle patting motion.
These ingredients sound great; but what matters to me is how does this eye cream feel on the skin. When I looked at the directions on the box it was nice to see that the eye cream can be applied to the entire upper and lower eye area. The cream smells citrusy and fresh but not overbearing. The fragrance did not irritate my eyes or cause them to tear up. This is a major plus to me. The consistency of the cream is thick, almost whipped and has a light orange appearance.
How is the process of the product coming out of the pump? I only needed one pump for both eyes and for each section. When I applied the cream as directed day and night for three weeks it didn’t feel itchy or irritating. It went on smooth and blended into my skin without feeling oily. I don’t have much darkness under my eyes, however they do appear brighter. I don’t have a lot of puffiness; but its nice to have tightening benefits for the eye area. The Valentia True Glow Eye Cream is an effective cream and I would recommend it for anyone looking to add a new product to their beauty regime.
VALENTIA TRUE GLOW EYE CREAM can be purchase from Amazon for $24.99 (retails for $54.99). If you have Amazon Prime, you can get shipped to you for free and have it in two days.
Please let me know if you decide to try it.
DISCLAIMER:
Bubbling with Elegance and Grace was gifted one 1.18 fl oz. of VALENTIA TRUE GLOW EYE CREAM. My review is my honest opinion and when I run out I would purchase this eye cream.

Hello Beautiful People,
JT using Sheilo products
I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and New Years Day. The Christmas Holiday was rainy and warm. It had felt more like springtime than winter. With El Nino throwing the weather patterns all out of whack, you just don’t know what to expect from day to day. With the warmer and balmy days with higher humidity, my hair can get frizzy. It is these days when I need a good frizz control product to add to my hair to keep down the poof. All hair products are not created equal and are not good for my hair. Many times, frizz products can contain alcohol or will make your hair feel tacky. I have to be selective and oh so cautious about what I put into my hair.
Shielo offers a Frizz Control Shine Restoration Oil that retails for $34.99 on its website. It does not leave my hair feeling sticky or tacky. I put in on my freshly-cleansed hair right out of the shower. I do not use the oil with any heat tools in my hair. I have been chemical free and relaxer free for more than six years and my hair is naturally curly.
Shielo’s website says the Shine Restoration Oil:
SMOOTHES, SOFTENS AND ADDS SHINE
CERTIFIED ORGANIC INGREDIENTS, PARABEN FREE. 1 OZ 30 ML
Premium hair oil for restoration of shine and smoothness. Speeds up drying time by 40%. Its color enhancement properties last long term, and it increases hair manageability and removes frizz. Protects from heat styling. Users can expect significant results after one use. Long term use reverses damage caused by chemical treatments, heat styling and coloring. For all hair types.
– adds strength and promotes hair healing
– renews the hair cell structure
-heat wave technology protects the cuticle.
JT after using the Shielo Shine Restoration Oil
When I style my hair, I add a couple of pumps to the palm of my hair, rub my hands together and apply to my hair as I style it. I wear my hair more naturally curly but also straight on occasion. The product does not feel hard in my hair and smells earth and clean. The oil contains paraben-free organic ingredients. Some of my favorite ingredients include apple fruit extract, lemon fruit extract, lemon peel extract, sugar cane extract and cocoa extract. I would recommend this product because the restoration oil does not flake, does not feel oily, goes in my hair quickly and leaves my hair feeling smooth and not hard.
