Grrrr!

I really don't like conflict; not fun, not fabulous, it just stinks. So last night I fled the scene of a fuss to get some beauty rest in the hopes of waking up to a better day. Well, I can say the sun is shining and it's a balmy 68 degrees. Other than that I wait impatiently for a text back to indicate some sort of apology.
Ladies, it's oh-so important that when you are having a tiff with a guy that you look like you're un-phased. Even if you are physically nowhere near him. Here's how to accomplish delicious distance...

De-Puff your eyes. Even if you don't have tear-stained cheeks, a little cucumber works wonders for your eyes. No need to break out the slicer with all of the recent products that have come out. I like the Garnier Nutritioniste roller. It feels really chill going on and in a minute, my eyes have a refreshed look.


Good posture! Didn't your mama always tell you to put your shoulders back? She was right. Sitting and standing straight provides a feeling of empowerment; you can't help but look the world in the eye. There's also a wellness benefit; breathing in deeper provides more oxygen to your blood and the posture forces your core muscles to work in order to maintain it all day. Your yoga instructor will thank you.

Wear something that makes you feel comforted. Sweater dress with subtle detail like this one from BCBG. Heels in a flesh tone color to further elongate the leg. Nothing fussy, just comfortable.


Now that you're not showing any signs of weakness, finish the look with a funky statement piece. This says, "yep, I'm ready to walk out the door and have FUN... sans toi!"  Statement necklaces are a trend that have been going strong since Spring 2008 but Fall 2009 is still time to work it. You can probably find something great from last season on markdown. I'm digging on this Phoenix Wreath necklace from Francesca's.

So go on witcha bad self and sing the Alanis, Nancy Sinatra, Katy Perry...whatever "don't need your drama" theme song you like. Meanwhile, I'm taking comfort in the yummiest blackberry lip gloss should I happen upon a make-me-feel better kiss.
