Welcome to The New You! by: L


Hello Dolls,


I am L (Leticia or Letty) 32 years old mom of a beautiful 2 year old girl named Mia Layla, military wife who's husband is currently deployed, I am a part-time administrative assistant for a Certified Public Accounting firm.  I decided to create a blog to help working mom's, single mom's, women on a budget or women that would like to vamp up their looks whether it's their clothing style, hair or makeup and don't how to or where to start. My goal is to help you achieve the look you are going for in a very affordable way and help the feel amazingly beautiful. I get my inspiration from celebrities, fashion magazines and surfing the web, like Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, etc. I am not a professional stylist, nor a professional make up artist but Fashion is my Passion and I study, admire and research fashion and beauty to help give you the best advise and tips I can. 

I am not perfect (none of us are), I have insecurities just like every women out there, but dressing up and doing my makeup and hair makes me feel beautiful, sexy, sassy and like I can take on the world and that's the gift I want to give you. When you believe you are FABULOUS, then every one else will think the same about you!

On this blog site, I will give you fashion and beauty tips to show you how you can rock the latest fashion trends, some trends that might be a little over the top but yet make it work for you, your body type and most importantly fit into your budget.  

I will post links to websites where I purchased some the items I feature here or sites that carry similar items and name stores that I purchased most of the items from. But this is not for you to go out and buy these items maybe you can find things in your own closets that will work just as good or maybe even better. I will also post links for sales or coupon codes to help you save.

I am not all about name brands, because seriously who will stop you in the streets, work, school or anywhere to check your clothing tags to see what brand you are wearing??? NO ONE. And some times mid to low end name brand will look better then some high end clothing lines out there. But I am not discriminating against name brand... OH NO!!!! who doesn't love Christian Louboutin shoes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel or Parda handbags... I know I love them! But I can not afford to buy expensive brand all the time, so when the opportunity comes I will splurge on an item that is expensive but is versatile because I love to mix high end items with mid to low end items.

Well its not all about Clothes, Shoes, Accessories or Handbags but I will give you makeup and hair tips. As you might know makeup and hair will complete any look, you can wear the most simple items in your closet but your hair and make up will make your outfit come to life! Your face is one of the first things people will see about you therefore it is very important to keep your face looking fresh and beautiful. So aside from makeup looks, I will also give you skin and hair care tips using both high end and drug store products.

Every week I will pick a celebrity fashion and/or makeup look and recreate it for less or add my own twist to it. I will accept request for any looks you would like to see me recreate.  

Thank you for stopping by and for your support!
XOXOXO
