Style Muse: Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett is officially Hollywood royalty. Not only is she an academy award-winning actress and a seasoned Hollywood superstar, but she’s also spoken out on Hollywood’s disparities. On top of that, she’s got a great sense of style to boot. Every time she steps out on the red carpet, she looks fabulous. She’s has a chic sense of style that’s like no other actress around right now. Check out some of my favorite looks worn by the actress below. Let me know which look is your favorite in the comments section. I would love to know what you think!

Camera Ready- Below, Blanchett wears an effortlessly put together look beside her Carol co-star Rooney Mara. I love how Blanchett isn’t afraid to wear exactly what she wants. Check out her sheer black top. It’s a risky look, but Blanchett pulls it off.

Royal in Ralph Lauren- Blanchett wore this Ralph Lauren one-shouldered number to the Royal Marsden Dinner at Windsor Castle. It’s stunning and breathtaking all the same time. She paired the look with some smoky eye makeup and glossy rose lips. Perfection. 

 Pantsuit Chic- In this photo, Blanchett is wearing an Armani Privé pantsuit. With her statuesque figure and big personality, this look definitely makes her stand out. The belt around the waist helps take this look over the edge.

Airport Styling- Blanchett’s casual looks are just as breathtaking as her red carpet looks. Just check out her airport style below. Those camel pants are trendy yet look so comfortable. 

 Sooo ...

Bobs and bangs ... to try !

Blue eyes only ... Yes, simple streaks of blue shadow and liner are making an appearance in a big way. 

 

Glitter - Yes, really. An otherwise neutral face with touches of sparkling glitter….does it get any more glam than that?

Morning Tips to Start in 2016

The New Year is just around the corner. Let’s ring in 2016 with a “bring it on,” attitude. Don’t be afraid to try new things this year. Be open to change. Changing can bring you happiness in ways you never would have expected otherwise. One thing you can change is your morning ritual. Starting your day right is important, which is why I wanted to bring you some daily rituals that’ll help jumpstart your New Year. Start your day right this 2016, and watch the world open up to you! Read on and let me know what you think in the comments section. 

Start With The Inside- Start your day by drinking some hot water with lemon. Doing this, activates your intestines. It’s lubricates your internal system. It helps to jumpstart your body in a natural and healthy way. Water keeps your intestines flowing while the lemon engages your digestive system. Try it and see what happens.

Practice A Stretching Routine- Find a stretching routine that’s right for you. I love doing a sun salutation when I wake up in the morning. It’s a time for myself to breathe and relax. At the same time, it helps to activate my muscles for the day ahead. It’s a time where I listen to what my body wants.

Move!- Start your day by fitting in a cardio exercise. I love a quick jog in the morning. Get your blood flowing by doing the same. Not only will you feel just a bit more energized during your day, but you’ll also get that workout out of the way. Keep moving, people!

Eat Breakfast- Take some time for your breakfast. Enjoy a tasty and nutritious meal. It’s the most important meal of the day and deserves its rightful place.

Keep healthy
