The Fall Men's Fashion Week: Playful and Frisky Feeling

I'm not sure if I'm feeling playful because it's almost Valentines Day or if it's the Men's Fashion Week Shows like, the Dolce & Gabbana and Costume National, that I've been watching (over and over again)! 

John Galliano's Return &Target Competing with Department Stores?

On a totally random note: How about the return of John Galliano during London Men’s Fashion week! I’m not sure where I stand on the Fallen Man Galliano vs. the Celestial Designer Galliano? On to my Beauty Obsession!

Laneige skin care is carried in department stores such as Bloomingdales and is now making an appearance at Target. I’m sure you've noticed the layout changes being made to many of the clothing dept., home good dept. and now the addition of high-end skin care to Target. We have all been conditioned to think Target is a great deal less expensive than Department Stores and for the most part it is, however I have noticed the prices coming up a bit (inflation)? So the change must mean Target is confident its customers will accept these changes? Who knows? Enough of my weird observation!

Goals for life: a small glimpse into the world of a bloggers goal setting

I came from a corporate based international beauty company background. Throughout my training I was taught how to manage through goal setting and project management. This made my career and life journey decision easier.

I question “my current realities” in order to bring about change and growth. Some of the benefits of goals are

My Burberry Nail Color Inspirations and Review

The Burberry Spring/Summer 2015 show was bursting with color and overall sense of femininity, which in turn inspired me to try out possible nail polish colors for my SS15 nail art collection.

Burberry’s spring fashion was filled with hot pinks hues, an array of blues and greens with a dash of cayenne red pepper. 

I decided on 5 brands to start my review

Breakfast with Kate Lanphear, Anna Wintour,Eva Chen and Natalie Massenet during New York Fashion Week

Mom and I got a late start to day 6 of NYFW. We are starving, so we head out to breakfast at one of our favorite local spots. Little did I know that within a half an hour I would be the sloppy egg in the middle of a Fashion Titan breakfast crumpet! You can't imagine who!

Fashion Week YouTube Lookbook

 After a multitude of computer crashes (Thank you #NYFW social media and content) I've finally posted my Fashion Week Lookbook on my YouTube channel Beauty by SW.




Thanks to Valerie Lee Owner of Chateau Bel Age Boutique for the use of her beautiful store, I could live in there. Some of the outfits didn't get full OOTD during the world wide phenomenon know as New York Fashion Week simply because it wasn't quite Fall Fashion weather but still all the outfits I would wear to a dinner, event or luncheon. I have shopped with Le Bel Age for the better part of my life because Valerie's choices in fashion are timeless and chic.I will have to share my jewelry collection with you all sometime, I've amassed a small bioux store at home. Be sure to give the video a thumbs up and share or subscribe for your dose of fashion fun and adventures.
Thank you all for your support
Until Next Time
Happy Hunting

Going into Summer Madness

It’s seems life is filled to the brim with birthdays, parties, work and more. It all started with Disneyland for days, the Aloha Party prep and execution and some major work project I’m currently knee deep in, so this is why Beauty by SW has had a small break.  For the W’s, family is always 1^st, then my day job and then I get to do the fun stuff you see on the blog and YouTube.

Roberto Cavalli Summer Inspired OOTD

How I love the Italian style, especially Roberto Cavalli. As much as I love a structured look in my clothing rotation, there is something about flowing chiffon and a bright color that makes me feel free.

Forever 21 haul and Naughty Dog Game “The Last of Us”

I had wanted to try the Forever 21 Premium Make up line for awhile so I made a quick trip to Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego. I picked up the Mineral Blush, Lip and Cheek Stain, a Nail art graffiti kit, nail art brushes, Travel make up brushes, the eye brow makeup kit and some extras.

Dating Your Spouse How to Day to Date Outfit

Mr. W and I try to squeeze in a date night here and there, but it usually boils down to a last minute lucky sleepover at grandma’s house. My day is usually packed up to bedtime. Yes I love and live to plan, organize and do. Hey I had great women in my life that ingrained the work gene into me.

Lady Like Drama at NYFW: Ruffian Fall Fashion Collection

Ruffian Fall 2014

Ruffian was a very fun show. Although the proportions of the pieces may seem a bit exaggerated on the runway, by the time the collection reaches retailers it’s usually paired down to real size. The style is a little on the Mary Tyler Moore show side but with a bit more flare for the dramatic.
