Teresa Giudice’s Pink Bomber Jacket

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 11 Episode 11 Fashion

While I loved the house Teresa Giudice was looking at on last night’s Real Housewives of New Jersey , I didn’t think it was very Teresa. I can’t picture her in anything but her old home, even though IRL I know she doesn’t live there anymore. But what I did think was very Teresa was the pink bomber jacket she was wearing. Actually, I think it’s very us.

Tiffany Moon’s White Swimsuit and Blue Cover Up at Southfork

Real Housewives of Dallas Season 5 Finale Fashion

While Tiffany Moon may have found a little baby lizard at Southfork Ranch on last night’s season finale episode of RHOD, we on the other hand found her white belted swimsuit and blue printed cover up. Which needless to say unlike reptiles (which I’ve heard there’s a lot of in Texas from new resident @LaurenSebastianOffical), is something much more up our alley. 

Fashionably,

Faryn

When it comes to fashion for women over 60, is it possible to look great and feel comfortable? Is it possible to be casual, creative and stunning? Of course! The video below walks us through how to assemble a creative look that turns heads. International fashionista Melanie Payge will also use our special guest, Anna Maria, to explain several fashion principles that all of us can apply.

Wearing What Makes You Happy

Some of the best advice for those in the workforce is to “dress for the job that you want.” This same principle can be applied to the fun-loving, creative side of life, as well. In this case, dress for the happiness you want to feel.

It’s time to debunk the ageist myth that women over 60 must dress like dowdy grannies in polyester pants and orthopedic shoes. We are smart, fun, creative souls and our wardrobes should reflect our inner beauty and carefree spirits. In the above video, Anna Maria picked four outfits that would make her feel happy.

Embracing Your Own Inner Fashionista

Following a few simple fashion principles, you too can fill your wardrobe with pieces that match your fun-loving, casual, and creative personality.

• If you are petite in stature, consider a cropped pant such as the Perfect Skimmers from TALBOTS to add a fun and youthful look to your outfit.

• If you have a slender neck, choose shirts and dresses that have playful necklines. One good example is this TRAVELERS CLASSIC LATTICE-TRIM TOP we found at CHICO’S.

• Pick pieces that are light and comfortable, yet still have personality and playfulness to them. Embroidery is back in style, and combined with linen fabric, you know your skin can breathe freely.

• Don’t shy away from bright colors and bold patterns.

• When selecting a creative piece, be sure to follow the rules of finding the perfect fit.
• Accept your body type and any imperfections you may have.
• Have fun and be yourself! Your clothes are only an outward representation of who you are inside.

Do you like casual and creative clothes? When it comes to fashion for women over 60, do you think that there are any styles or patterns we should avoid? How do you feel about embracing your own inner fashionista? Join the conversation!

Plopping has been around forever but the curly hair hack has become even more popular as of late thanks to TikTok. Even those with only slight waves are plopping their hair to achieve their best, frizz-free curls. Since plopping involves using a T-shirt in place of a towel and you might not have one around you want to get dirty, Sun Bum created a T-shirt Hair Towel in collaboration with Daniella Perkins. This is the tee you’ll always use and have around.

There are a lot of ways you could be familiar with actress Daniella Perkins. The 20 year old starred in the Nickelodeon series Knight Squad, as well as guest spots in Girl Meets World and Legendary Dudas. And if you haven’t seen any of those shows, there’s a good chance she’s popped up on your TikTok For You Page considering she has a whopping 2.3 million followers. Here she shows off her cute style, beauty faves and curl routine. She’s the perfect partner for Sun Bum’s curl collection.

Though, it hasn’t always been easy breesy. “My curl journey has been a long one and I’m still on it! You’re always learning with curly hair,” Perkins tells STYLECASTER. “It went from healthy to damaged to a little bit healthy back to damaged and now it’s on its road to recovery for the past two years.” She admits that she hasn’t always loved her natural texture.

“I didn’t always love my curls. I wanted to be one of those girls with pretty wavy hair that you can put up in a ponytail and take out whenever you want…brush it whenever you want to,” she says. “When I was about 14, I would literally go in the shower [and] spend two hours curling my hair with my finger, and as soon as I got out of the shower would take a straightener and put it to my wet hair so I could get that ‘wavy look.’ It never worked.”

She admits it’s all a bit of a bummer. “An ex of mine would always say ‘Oh, I wish you had straight hair so I can run my fingers through your hair,’ or people always want to touch it and act like it’s some crazy thing to have,” she says. “But I realize my curls are beautiful and I shouldn’t try to change my hair texture for anyone. It’s hard finding your perfect hair routine, but once you do, loving your curls becomes a little easier. I never want any little girl to feel like her hair isn’t beautiful. Because it is beautiful.”

Perkins says one of the reasons she had trouble embracing her hair was because of the lack of representation in media. “I never saw anyone whose skin color or hair looked like me on TV,” she says. “When I was 10, I wanted to be Hannah Montana so badly. I went to the Disney store and my aunt bought me a blonde wig. I lived in that wig. I wanted to have straight blonde hair for so long.” Luckily, there are a few things that can help you love your curls. One is really nailing that routine.

“It takes a minute but once you understand your curls, you can become a master at it,” she says. “To help with frizz, I have been loving the Sun Bum T-shirt Hair Towel for drying. To get the bounce once my hair is dry enough for me, I flip my head over and I take a toothpick comb and just go to the places where my hair kind of sinks down a little bit.”

This “towel” is actually a cute T-shirt you can wear and then use to wrap your hair sans frizz. It’s all part of the curly girl routine. The super-soft, absorbent cotton will cut down drying time and keep hair smooth.

Meeting Zendaya helped Perkins be more confident and even inspired her future roles. “The first thing [Zendaya] told me was, ‘Don’t ever let them touch your hair. Protect your curls,’” she says. “That stuck with me. That’s why when I booked Knight Squad my curly hair was a big part of that character.” She’s gotten incredible feedback from young fans and their mothers about her character’s natural hair.

“I actually had the most touching experience at a Nickelodeon meet greet,” she says. “This little girl saw me and started crying her heart out. She told me she was so happy that she saw someone who looked like her on Nickelodeon. That shows you the lack of representation. I’m so glad things are changing. We’re definitely nowhere near where we should be, but we’re getting there.”

Sometimes when we set our sights on magnificent marks we want to target in this lifetime, we are confronted with distracting thoughts that can lure us off course and prevent us from experiencing success.

When this happens to you, don’t be discouraged! You’re not alone. Thoughts of inadequacy like, “I’m not good enough or smart enough” are common. Recognize that it’s just your monkey mind trying to mess with your mission. You wouldn’t be having these thoughts if you weren’t up to something important.

I used to allow my restless mind to manipulate me into sabotaging my plan and impeding my progress. Now I keep pessimistic mental chatter in check by employing three strategies, specifically designed to quell negative nagging and promote positivity in order to proceed with my intentions. Hopefully, these suggestions will support you, too.

Here are my 3 tools to interrupt and conquer beliefs that inhibit success.

Embrace Your God-Given Gifts

What do you love to do? What type of work makes you feel strong, powerful and confident? What types of activities seem like play because you can remain engaged all day without taking a break? This is what you focus on when self-doubt begins to rear its ugly head.

If you have difficulty identifying your strengths, sit in your quiet space over the next few days and reflect on those skills that come easily for you. Also, note conversations you’ve had with others regarding your genius. What have you been praised for over the years? Write your thoughts in a journal,and keep track of your feelings and emotions as you consider your choices.

Be grateful for your unique qualities. I believe we all come here with multiple gifts to explore and develop. Perhaps your task this year is to identify the skills that bring you the most joy and imagine how you can use them to inspire others.

Vow to Wow Others with Your Talents

Let’s reinforce the first tool. We are not here to hoard our gifts. Once you decide that your mission is not all about you, things begin to change. You no longer need to justify or make excuses about why you want to make a difference in the world. When you remove the personal profits or secondary agenda, you allow yourself more freedom to be you. It’s amazing how this works.

When I first started my business and was invited to speak about my program, I told myself I couldn’t eloquently deliver my message for fear of being judged. By withholding my truth, I unintentionally set myself up for failure with my limiting thoughts.

Once I realized that my life purpose wasn’t just about me – but about showing others how to live their best life – the self-imposed burdens were lifted, and I became more confident sharing my vision. Knowing your purpose muffles the monkey mumble, and your authentic voice begins to assume authority.

Being able to articulate your purpose underscores the basic question many people ask: Who am I, and what am I doing here? And most importantly, who am I beyond my fears and perceived limitations? In other words, acknowledging who you are on a deeper level will liberate you from debilitating illusions.

You are an amazing daughter of the universe sent here to love and to be of service to others. This realization helps to dissolve thoughts of inadequacy – because now your charge is no longer a singular, selfish mission, but instead a Divine appointment with a higher focus.

Affirm Your Why and Proclaim Your Power

Your thoughts and words have power. Capture this image: You are mighty beyond measure! Any other vision is a fake view of the real you. You are not here to play small. Create affirmations that support your authority. I realize that this takes time and practice, so let’s begin creating some affirmative statements together.

• I have natural gifts and talents to share with the world.
• My mind is free from self-doubt, and I am ready to welcome challenges that will stimulate my personal growth.
• I shape my experience by speaking confidently and thinking courageously.

Now go ahead and personalize the affirmations that resonate with you, or create your own and begin reciting them this week.

Remember: The purpose of negative mind chatter is to keep you stuck. When you think objectively about thoughts that are smeared with fear, you’ll discover that they are powerless, unless you grant them access to your success.

Snap back with confidence! The next time you become distracted by limited belief patterns, apply these suggestions to help liberate you from the illusions of lack and limitations. The process requires faith and risk-taking, but the rewards are immense. Embrace your creative genius, share your gifts with others, and assert your power as an authority in your area of expertise.
