July 2023: Top Beauty, Fashion & Art Stories You Missed

July was a busy month at EmpowerHer Hub. We shared quick guides on makeup basics, looked at how tech‑savvy folks dress in Silicon Valley, broke down Target’s clothing brands, and chatted about the exciting mix of fine art and high fashion. Below is a handy recap so you can grab the best tips and ideas without scrolling through each post.

Makeup Essentials You Can’t Skip

If you’re building a simple yet effective makeup kit, start with a primer that smooths out texture and helps everything stay put. A medium‑coverage foundation evens out skin tone without feeling heavy. Keep a concealer handy for those late‑night binge‑watching circles – a dab under the eyes does wonders. Finish with mascara for instant eye lift and a pop of lip color that adds confidence. The key is to choose products that work together, so you spend less time fixing and more time feeling good.

Silicon Valley Style: Comfort Meets Minimalism

When you think of Silicon Valley, the image that pops up is hoodies, sneakers, and jeans. The tech crowd values comfort and function over runway looks, but that doesn’t mean they lack style. Their “low‑key” vibe actually sets a trend for minimalist wardrobes that can transition from a meeting to a coffee break without a wardrobe change. Think neutral colors, quality basics, and a few statement sneakers – it’s a relaxed look that works in many settings.

Target’s clothing section also reflects this practicality. The store offers everything from A New Day’s trendy pieces to Levi’s classic denim. For active days, JoyLab and All in Motion supply breathable fabrics. Kids aren’t left out either; Cat & Jack delivers fun, affordable outfits. Whether you’re dressing for work or a weekend run, Target’s mix of budget‑friendly and on‑trend brands makes it a one‑stop shop.

When Fine Art Meets High Fashion

Imagine walking into a runway show where each dress feels like a painting. That’s the vibe when fine art collides with high fashion. Designers are pulling colors, patterns, and concepts straight from galleries, turning garments into storytelling canvases. The result is clothing that’s bold, expressive, and undeniably artistic. While the fusion can be eye‑catching, balance is key – too much art can overwhelm the wearability of the piece.

For anyone looking to try this trend, start small. Add a printed scarf or a jewel‑tone bag that mimics a famous artwork. Pair it with simple basics so the art piece shines without competing with everything else you’re wearing. This approach lets you dip your toe into the art‑fashion world without feeling over the top.

All these topics tie back to one idea: feeling confident in what you wear and how you present yourself. Whether you’re perfecting a makeup routine, adopting a comfortable tech‑city wardrobe, shopping smart at Target, or experimenting with art‑inspired outfits, the goal is the same – to express yourself authentically.

What are your makeup essentials?

Ladies and gents, let's dive into the glittering world of my makeup essentials. First up, a good primer is my secret weapon, setting the stage for the masterpiece to come. Then, it's all about that foundation, because let's face it, we're not all blessed with flawless skin (I'm looking at you, Ryan Reynolds). Of course, a dab of concealer is a must to hide those 'up too late binge-watching Netflix' under eye circles. Lastly, a swoosh of mascara and a pop of lip color, and voila, you're ready to dazzle the world!

Do people lack fashion sense in Silicon Valley?

Do people lack fashion sense in Silicon Valley?

Having taken a close look at Silicon Valley's fashion scene, it's apparent that many people there have a different perspective on style. The tech-centric region leans towards comfort and functionality over high-end fashion trends. The typical Silicon Valley attire consists of hoodies, sneakers, and jeans – a far cry from the sartorial elegance of Milan or Paris. However, this doesn't necessarily mean they lack fashion sense, they just have a unique, minimalist approach to it. So, while Silicon Valley might not be your go-to for fashion inspiration, their laid-back style speaks volumes about the culture and priorities of this tech hub.

What clothing brands does Target carry?

Target is a one-stop shop that offers a wide range of clothing brands to suit every style and budget. My personal favorites include A New Day and Universal Thread, which are known for their trendy and affordable pieces. They also carry well-known brands like Levi's and Champion. If you're shopping for your little ones, Cat & Jack is an excellent choice for kids' apparel. Plus, they've got JoyLab and All in Motion for fitness enthusiasts, and Who What Wear for the fashion-forward.

How do you feel about mixing fine art with high fashion?

I'm absolutely thrilled about the fusion of fine art with high fashion. It's like a beautiful marriage of creativity and elegance, making fashion not just about clothing but also a form of self-expression and storytelling. The blend of these two mediums brings an intriguing depth to the fashion world. However, it's essential to achieve the right balance to ensure that neither overshadows the other. In my opinion, this trend is a refreshing take on fashion, adding a unique perspective that I thoroughly enjoy.
