WHAT I WORE: I HAD TO HAD IT

I was at Urban Outfitters the other day, just went it to take a quick look on what was there, was not planning on buying anything. I swear! Then my eyes fell on this girly cute summer dress (which was only $19.99) I had to get it! So I did, and I don't regret it!

SMELL LOVELY

Perfumes add a finishing touch to a woman outfit. It's a way to express yourself and your taste. I wear it on a daily basis and can't live without it! In my high school days, I used to wear Eternity all the times. Then I moved to Gucci Rush, that was the sophie signature! I wore it religiously every single day for many many years. Just recently I started experimenting with different brands. Here are some of my favorite ones:

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN SS 2010

There's something alien-esque about the Alexaner McQueen SS 2010 collection. It exudes a futuristic, eye catching, out of this world vibe. The models carefully made their way on the runway in their 12-inch shoe-boots. This must be seen in motion! What more to say but "WOW".

STEP BY STEP

That's right, y'all should know by now! My name is Sophie Ono and I'm a shoes lover. Forget diamonds, shoes are a girl's best friend. There's nothing like a fabulous pair of shoes, whether it be a chic pair of stilettos, or comfy flats, we girls can never have enough!

SIDE BRAID ATTACK

It's all about braids, and it has been for a hot minute now. The girls at Alexander Wang's show wore it on the side, very loosely. I particularly adore this look, the messy roll out of bed wild, who-cares look. This hairstyle is definitely a trend that is being forecasted for Spring 2010. It surely helps having long hair since the appeal comes from the braid sitting over the shoulder.

Q&A (YOU ASK, I ANSWER) SHINE CONTROL

Welcome to my Q&A corner. This column is dedicated solemnly to you. Here I will answer all of your questions and requests. Let's begin!

Q: How do i keep my nose from shining so much after a couple of hours of wearing my powder?

A: Girl, sometimes press powder along just won't do the trick. You can pack oil-blotting sheets in your bag and use them to keep the shine away. Make these blotting papers your best friends, as they're the only tool that absorbs oil without disturbing the makeup application! Another option is to use a mattifier, this will keep the oil under control.

EYELINER

Yes, we love eyeliner, don't we?! There are so many different ways to wear it. You can rock them retro, paint them bold or even break the rules and draw them above your creases. No wonder this look is the season's big news.
