Valentine’s Day

February 4, 2019 by Cynthia

St. Valentine’s Day dates back centuries and contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. There are many stories about who is Saint Valentine. * One story depicts a Roman priest who performed secret weddings against the wishes of the authorities in the third century. Imprisoned in the home of a noble, he healed his captor’s blind daughter, causing the whole household to convert to Christianity and sealing his fate. Before being tortured and decapitated on February 14, he sent the girl a note signed, “Your Valentine”.

No matter the history, it continues to be the day lovers express romantic gestures through cards, chocolates and gifts. This Valentine’s Day treat yourself (or your Valentine) to the gift of lingerie. The gift of lingerie is so personal and special and there are so many beautiful options, no matter your taste, preferences or confidence 😉 There is nothing quite like wearing feminine undergarments. Leave something to the imagination and find a style or a piece that suits your figure and makes you feel fabulous!

Here are a few options by Intimissimi, an Italian clothing label which specializes in bras, briefs, lingerie, vests and pyjamas for women and men. (Intimissimi for Men)

Intimissimi L’Amour You Tulle and Lace Babydoll

Sexy Mesh Balconette Bra

Sexy Mesh Cheeky Panties

Sexy Mesh Lace and Microfiber Cheeky Panties

Viscose Satin Kimono

Full Bloom Viscose Satin Kimono

Full Bloom Elena Balconette Bra

Nordstrom offers complete sizing for everything they carry. Here are a few plus-size lingerie options at Nordstrom.

Valentine’s Day/Evening is a few weeks away. Plan ahead and treat yourself or the one you love to something personal and special!

Red Rocks – JCrew Event – Looks 3 and 4

December 11, 2018 by Cynthia

Red Rocks!! It’s great as the main event or the perfect accent color.

I will be at JCrew New Canaan, CT – TOMORROW, Wednesday, December 12 for a Special Color Style Focus Event: 10:30-2pm/24 Elm Street, New Canaan, CT. I would love to assist you putting together a great look using color or a thoughtful gift!

Be sure to : “Mention Cynthia Hudson and in addition to promotional discounts get another 20% off your purchase of $125 or more and a FREE JCrew tote bag”

Red Rocks as the main event in the first JCrew look here.

I styled it as an outfit which could be worn any cold day, as a really great sport spectator look or heading to cut down the Christmas tree outfit. Layered with a cozy and trendy sherpa toggle coat over a classic wool fair isle sweater with red accessories, curvy toothpick jeans and awesome Nordic boots (love the red laces). Of course, you need your cool sunnies too!

SHOP THE LOOK – below pics of this look.

Sherpa Toggle Coat

Crewneck sweater in vintage fair isle

Curvy toothpick denim

Ribbed beanie with faux-fur pom pom

Glitten glove in cashmere blend

Nordic Boots

Sunglasses (similar)

The following JCrew look started out as a dressy look with the burnout velvet leopard skirt and sequined cable knit sweater with chandelier earrings but then by pairing it with the silver bootie (my own) and camp socks it went much less serious – I love it for a party but also as a unique day look too.

Red Rocks here as the accent color in the sunglasses, the coat and the socks.

SHOP THE LOOK – below photos

A touch of whimsy with the camp socks.

Wear a beret and the look goes French chic!

The sweater has beautiful details – the sequins make it a sweater you can dress up.

Summer Beauty

June 8, 2018 by Cynthia

With summer quickly approaching, now is the time to purchase your new summer beauty products. Less is more is my summer beauty philosophy. I prefer a more natural look and I don’t like wearing heavier products in hot, humid weather. My key everyday summer beauty items are a lightweight sunscreen or tinted moisturizer with SPF, mascara, bronzer and a lip gloss with SPF.

Sunscreen replacement every season is important as they become less effective and expire. If you use Waterproof mascara mainly in the summer, don’t start using an opened one as bacteria can form, get a new one for the season. Be sure to use a moisturizer with SPF. And, keep in mind, moisturizers should be replaced every 6-12 months. For everyday, choose a lip product with SPF.

Here are some of my favorite summer beauty products:

Trish McEvoy Beauty Booster SPF 15 Lip Gloss

NARS Bronzing Powder

By Terry Terrybly Waterproof Mascara

Supergoop Setting Mist with Rosemary

Supergoop Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40

Deborah Lippmann rich Girl hand cream SPF 25

I leave this product in my car and apply when driving. It soaks in immediately so it is not slippery.

Fall Fashion 2017

September 4, 2017 by Cynthia

Summer 2017 is coming to a very quick close. Kids are heading back to school, I’m getting back to my regular routine and thankfully, the Fall Fashion season is upon us!! It’s like an annual ritual for me – gather the September Fashion magazines, check out Pinterest, and browse my favorite clothing stores for inspiration. I gather, I contemplate and then I narrow down my favorite fashion trends for the season.

I like a lot of what is out there, however, these are my four favorite trends for Fall Fashion 2017:

I love outerwear and a cozy and stylish shearling is a simple way to look on trend. Throw on over a top and jeans with great footwear and you are set!

I always seem to lean toward a plaid/check – classic for sure, but if you are willing to mix prints – super stylish.

Loving Burgundy – always have – and happy to see it “in” this Fall season. Burgundy is beautiful head-to-toe, but it also compliments blue, black, grey, white and metallics, and is a chic accessory.

Gucci Medium GG Marmont 2.0 Matelasse Velvet Shoulder Bag

After a dress, what is easier than a pantsuit to look pulled together? Slim or slouchy – go with what looks best on you.

Hope these images and trends provide you with a bit of Fall Fashion inspiration. If they appeal to you, try to find something to add to your wardrobe and help you put together your own updated style for the season.

Beauty Products

January 26, 2017 by Cynthia

Beauty Products bring joy or disappointment. Over the years, too many have been disappointing. However, I try new ones until I am satisfied. These are a few of my favorites that I highly recommend and that bring me joy 🙂

Dior Show Mascara

I have tried countless mascaras but this one I really love! It does not clump or flake. It lengthens really well and is build able.

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick

This is a cream eyeshadow stick which I have in numerous colors. Easy to apply and control coverage with your finger, does not crease and does not run/bleed. The color choices are beautiful – and you can apply the color as saturated or as muted as you like.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer – Oil Free (I use oil-free in the summer)

Been using this product for at least 10 years. Gives natural/sheer coverage that helps perfect your skin and enhance your complexion. Fills in pores but does not make you look all made up.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer (I use in colder months)

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

I was dissatisfied with under eye concealers being too heavy/cakey and enhacing the lines under my eyes -until I found this one. I dot on with the sponge applicator and lightly press/spread under eyes with my ring finger. Great coverage but blends in and is not too heavy – LOVE!!

m-61 Power Cleanse – Pore-Purifying Glycolic Face Cleanser (Combo/Oily Skin)

This skincare line is exclusive to Bluemercury. I can’t claim it is the cleanest product on the market, however, it is paraben-free and synthetic fragrance free (whatever they use for fragrance is divine). Cleans excess makeup off easily and skin feels great – not dry or greasy.

m-61 powerful skincare – PowerGlow Peel

These peels are spectacular! If you want a dewy, glowing complexion definitely gives these a try.

m-61 Hydraboost Moisturizer

This moisturizer is just right – also a primer, packed with peptides and Vitamin B5, feels great going on, no residue, can apply makeup right away.

Sachajuan Intensive Hair Oil

Jenna Lyons of J.Crew was interviewed in an article I read and she recommended this product so I gave it a try…and never turned back. This stuff rocks – at least for my hair type. I use it as a finishing product . It is light weight and smells AMAZING!Beauty Blender -Nude

I realize this tool has been recommended by many, but I agree – love applying my tinted moisturizers with this blender. Wash frequently.

Beauty Products should provide a service! If you are not completely happy with what you are using, think about giving these beauty products a try!

Holiday Party Looks

November 25, 2016 by Cynthia

Putting together a chic and spirited seasonal look for holiday parties can feel like another task on the to do list. Not to mention something else tapping into the holiday budget. For the gal on a budget or just a gal who doesn’t feel like spending a lot on an outfit she may wear a few times, Zara is the place for well-priced, trendier items that get you in the holiday spirit. This holiday, look for style details like ruffles, velvet, off-shoulder and one-shoulder which are all on trend this season. There is no need to break the bank to look great. You won’t regret the fun and affordable piece you find at Zara.

Dresses always look great, but I love a jumpsuit for holiday parties too. Just add the right shoe and accessories and you are done! (Perhaps some thought to makeup, especially lip color.) And, always consider your bodytype and make choices that are the most flattering for you. Below are few selections I love for holiday parties…

Cut-Out Shoulder Frilled Dress

Shiny Velvet Dress

Contrast Velvet Dress

Short Sequin Dress

Frilled Dress

Long Jumpsuit with Asymmetric Frilled Neckline

Tuxedo Jumpsuit

Embroidered Jumpsuit

Warmest wishes for a Happy and Healthy Holiday! And, have fun getting dressed!

Fall Fashion

September 6, 2016 by Cynthia

Fall Fashion, the clothing season I love most, is nearly here!! The Fall Runways showed all sorts of fabulous trends – many very classic and wearable. Those resonating with me most are Cross Body Stoles, Gray Plaid, Navy Overcoats, Off-the-Shoulder, Pin Stripe Suiting, Shearling Bombers, Statement Fur and Velvet!!

Shown here are runway images. Below each example is a wearable and affordable example of the trend. Click on the link for more information or to purchase.

CROSS BODY STOLES

I love a fur accessory and wearing a luxurious stole across your body is a fun and versatile way of using it. Definitely makes a statement and shows you’ve got confidence.

Zara Small Fur Stole

GRAY PLAID

I will never tire of gray plaid and I am happy to see this classic is hot this Fall! So many ways to wear – casual, for work, and even dressy and a super wardrobe staple and builder.

Theory Double Faced Wool

NAVY OVERCOAT

Perhaps you already have a navy overcoat – please wear it!! This is another classic worth having in your wardrobe and since it is on trend for Fall, wear it with everything.

JCrew Lady Day Coat with Gold Buttons

OFF-THE-SHOULDER

This is such a feminine and flattering look. If you didn’t get a top for Spring and Summer, it’s time to get either a long-sleeved top for Fall or a great dress.

Milly ‘Selena’ Off the Shoulder Midi Dress (Nordstrom)

PIN STRIPE SUITING

A sharp and classic fabric – just a pair of slacks or a blazer would be a superb addition to your wardrobe and have you on trend but will work for years.

Zara Pinstripe Trouser

SHEARLING BOMBER

Fun, fun!! A chunky and cozy outerwear piece that makes a big statement. Go faux and save a few bucks.

Zara Suede Effect and Fleecy Jacket

STATEMENT FUR

Here is an opportunity to show off your personality and individuality. (Faux is fine.)

SHADES OF TAN

Elegant, classic, cozy…cannot go wrong adding something tan. Goes with everything for any occasion!

VELVET

Luxurious and chic – a velvet blazer or even a velvet sneaker would work hard this Fall.

Have fun with Fall Fashion and make selections that suit your personal style, update and build your wardrobe and boost your confidence!!
