How To Look Ageless In A Selfie



I still get hundreds of hits per day on my blogpost about 
How to Take An Amazing Selfie.

So today I am updating the selfie story with some tips from Instagram queen and E! Host, Catt Sadler (@IAMCATTSADLER) as seen in Health Magazine.

While researching this I looked at most of her instagram feed (linked both above and at the bottom of this post) and now I am a little bit obsessed! Now I want to know what she's getting up to next, and what she's wearing while she's at it...

How to Look Ageless In A Selfie

1. Be Real
Say no to duck face. 
Catt says a beautiful shot of a barefaced woman is better, but looking through her Instagram selfies there are just so many gorgeous images with makeup on! So avoid duck face, but be your gorgeous self.

2. Look Up
Catt is a fan of the high angle shot because it's much more flattering.
I say keep the camera slightly above eye level. If your curves are looking too curvy angle it higher and you will look both slimmer AND younger.

3. Choose The Right Light
Natural daylight is ideal. Avoid light shining down from above you - it creates shadows all over your face and adds 10 years. Light should be coming directly at you, essentially at eye level.

I only found Catt Sadler on Instagram via her bestie, Jacey Duprie @DAMSELINDIOR who is one of my absolute faves. I look at her Instagram most days, and get her blog, Damsel In Dior delivered to my email each day.

How To Find The Perfect Dress

Do you ever struggle trying to find the perfect dress
for your body shape, that matches your personal sense of style?

MM-LaFleur-Narie-Kalamata-Dress

M.M. LaFleur is a fantastic fashion source that guides you into your perfect dress via their super user friendly website.
The company is the brainchild of the pairing of Sarah, a former corporate worker, and Miyako, a former luxury designer at Zac Posen, and also at Jason Wu (one of my absolute favorite designers) 
The two decided to create the ideal work wear wardrobe options marrying function and form with a high fashion aesthetic.
See their story here.
They wanted to create a better product offering luxury without the huge designer price tag.




They also understood that not all working women have the time to endlessly roam the store racks, so they devised a fabulous web experience where you enter information about your personal sense of style and your body size and shape, and then are shown 4 ideal options to meet your needs.
M.M. LaFleur then ships you 4 dresses, you have 7 days to decide which dresses you want, and then you simply return the ones you don't want with their super simple return kit.
They cover the shipping both ways - its all very simple and efficient.
