A New Service! Mother/Daughter Beauty Bash

Hi everyone!  I'm back from vacation and excited to share with you a new service I'm offering!  I've been dreaming about it for awhile now and am excited to be getting started!  I'm partnering with Mary Kay Director extraordinaire, Tracey DeKraker, to put together a really fun night for moms and daughters (aimed at middle school to high school). 

What's better than beauty, fun and special mother, daughter time! Come prepared to be pampered with Mary Kay facials from Tracey DeKraker. Learn great skin care routines as well as some fun glamour tips appropriate for those in attendance (focusing on the natural look). I will be talking to moms and daughters about how to develop your own personal style, age appropriate dress, achieving modesty while staying trendy, as well as how to navigate those clothing battles! And of course plenty of fun fashion tips. Feel free to bring clothing from home that you have questions about (you too mom)!"

If any of you would be interested hosting a party of your own, along with your daughter, let me know!  The hostesses are free with 10 additional guests (and they also receive a discount on Mary Kay product).  Otherwise the cost is $5/person or $10 per mom/daughter duo.   This would make a great birthday party idea too!

If you have any other questions let me know (kate@steenwykbuilders.com)!  Thanks so much for your support!

Fireworks Style

bermuda shorts
canvas shoes
Turquoise jewelry

I can't believe the Fourth of July is this week, already!  Why is it that summer just flies by and winter seems to drag on FOREVER!  Oh well, I'm just going to be in the moment and soak up each ray of sun and fun!  Here's what you're likely to see me in at the fireworks later this week (hopefully with my swimsuit still underneath from a great day on the beach!).  Have a great week everyone!

Summer Pool Party

It's pool time!  Here's a great look for that casual pool party where you don't want to be too dressed up, but still want to look pulled together. 

Maxi Dresses

Lace maxi dress

If you haven't embraced the maxi dress trend for summer yet, there's still time!  Dressy and casual, day or night, there is a maxi dress for every occasion, body type and age.  Here are a few fun, budget friendly options!

Summer Teen

 

chiffon tank top
white shorts
ankle wrap sandals
brown handbag
Button Stud Earring
Charm Bracelet

Can't forget about my teen readers!  Here's a great summer time look for all of you.  Sweet, fresh and very summery.  The tie shirt seem to be making a big come back this season.  Swapping the shorts for white jeans would be super cute too!

Summer White

 

top
Old Navy shorts
wedge shoes
straw handbag
Chandeliers

Nothing says summer like crisp white and denim, a simple classic that never goes out of style.  Depending on your mood you can keep it all neutral, like I did here, or spice it up with pops of color in your accessories. The end result is an effortless, but chic summer look. 

T-shirt Dress

 

dress
platform sandals
bracelet
scarve
belt
sunglasses

There's nothing easier to throw on in the summer then a t-shirt dress.  Take it up a notch by throwing on a scarf or statement necklace and viola, you have a super cute, hip mom outfit.  I always encourage my clients to wear a belt to give a little more shape and definition, or make sure your dress is a great fit so it doesn't make you look bigger than what you really are (especially when wearing a horizontal stripe like this outfit).
