~Oh, It's Black Friday? Once you go Black, there's no looking back!!~
3:30 PMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie WoodroffeWell, I most certainly got your attention!
But it's true, Black in Fashion is the defining color of sophistication, {uh, little black dress, hello!} It makes everything look polished and scaled down. You can spill your morning coffee on it and still wear it out for cocktails later. {Who cares if you smell like Starbucks Dark Roast, people love that!}
I wear black almost every day. My former life as a New Yorker made me love it. I didn't have a lot of clothes, so black helped me pretend to have a massive wardrobe. I used bold, colorful accessories and jewelry to really dress things up!
Some of the most famous people through the history of greatness loved black; iconic fashion maven, Ann Demeulemeester said "Black is poetic." {see full quote below!}
"Black is not sad. Bright colours are what depress me. They're so... empty. Black is poetic. How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not." — Ann Demeulemeester
{God, I love her!}
But I think Christian Dior said it the best....
Very true.
Yep, because you're wearing black.

~What's Her Secret?!!~
1:10 PMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe{Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Restylane® Lyft and Restylane® Silk. However, the thoughts and opinions are my own.}
Article by Melanie Woodroffe @capitoldebeaute
As we age, sometimes our thought process is to let
things unfold, however, youthful skin isn't only for the young.
Being a writer in the beauty industry for many years
has taught me to always be open to possibilities. Finding skincare products
& procedures which will suit an individual based on need is one that I
support. The buzz about Restylane® Lyft caught my attention right
away! The first and only FDA approved filler for cheek augmentation and the
correction of moderate to severe smile lines. So I set out to meet with one of
the best Dermatologists Atlanta has to offer, Dr. Anna Pare, the most gifted of
doctors when it comes to talking skin health and aging.
Just to let you know, my curiosity about skincare
started at a very early age. As a child, I lived in Florida . My Parents were a stickler for
safety everything. So each morning, my Mother slathered sunscreen on my face,
neck and arms before going out to play at the beach. As I grew into a teenager
and older, I was often teased due to the pale halo from the sunscreens of the
time on my dark skin. I wore it anyway. Topical skincare products peaked my
interest as I grew up, even more than makeup did, and I was determined to find
out all I could about keeping the skin healthy and beautiful.
As technology & science advanced, better
alternatives for health & defying the age process became available. Of
course, first and foremost, most talked about was proper healthcare, like hydration and foods
that are full of nutrients; activities, to keep the body functioning and
running smoothly and topical protection against outside environmental elements,
such as sun & pollution. The foundations of basic skin health will never
change, however, we are living longer, so aging skin is a common thing we all
share as we advance in age. What to do? Think of alternative resisters, such as
topical creams and fillers.
Meeting with Dr. Pare at Dermatology Consultants to talk about the aging skin alternatives
like FDA approved Restylane® Lyft
was very engaging! She is quite knowledgeable in the field, of course, working
many years to achieve her current credentials. Knowing such, I was more excited
and curious to see what she would have to say about my skin health, and if Restylane® was the product for me, since I, being very proud of my aging process thus far, am starting to have a few concerns!
The consultation included, with her assistant
Sydnee, a brief medical review, an up close and personal hands-on skin
analysis, a list of my possible issues and addressing my concerns. Dr. Pare
never seemed rushed or even concerned with the full waiting room of patients.
My time and appointment was very personable, I was impressed, because in this
day and age of rushed doctors, my time with her was my time.
I ended up not being a candidate for a filler at all.
We each have a very unique genetic make up, so some need a little bit more help
than others. I am not one of those people yet, however, knowing I have a future
option in well-researched products with FDA-approval such as Restylane® Silk and Restylane® Lyft is very
relieving.

~Chanel Spring Summer 2016 Collection Takes Off!!~
8:21 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe
I think Karl Lagerfeld is obsessed with airports.
I mean, I get it. As a professional people watcher, airports are the most fascinating places on the planet. It is quite mystifying, with all of the people coming & going. This is his second collection with an airport theme in three years.
Aside from the theme, the collection was amazing. Floating ethereal caftans, pretty pastel suits, carry on luggage handbags, fabrics printed with connecting flight information and loads of tweed {of course!}
The House of Chanel rarely creates pieces that can't be worn. Always chic, Chanel's collections are lofty, yet real. Classic, yet modern. Never confusing the buyer as to where to wear & for how long. Whether jet-setting around the world or attending a charity luncheon, Chanel is always elegant & always on point!
Bravo Chanel! Bon Voyage!
Watch the entire collection presentation via Chanel dot com!

Keds
Ladies First Since 1916
American icon (and Keds-wearer), Marilyn Monroe, once said “give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world.”
Ladies are killing it these days at all sorts of things – from CFOing to BFFing – and we’re thrilled to be celebrating every single moment.
Keds has been putting ladies first by making and designing shoes for women since 1916. They hope to inspire ladies
everywhere to put their best foot forward in whatever it is that they do.
