We were coincidentally talking about the show F.R.I.E.N.D.S and how much we related to each character in our own way, and suddenly, in a Forever 21 store... we found gold. And by gold, I mean the perfect 'mom' jeans we had been on the hunt for all day. Right there before our eyes, we knew our search was over, and we had just discovered our newest adventure. We HAD to show the world these jeans, and a photo shoot was the only way to do so. As per usual, when the word "photo shoot" comes to mind, RiRod soon follows.</p> <p><img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/08/Carolina-Santiesteban-Photographed-by-Ricardo-La-Torre-Rirod.jpeg" alt="The 90's Are Calling!"/></p> <p>The more and more he and I talked about this shoot, discussing outfits and locations, the deeper I realized this trend went. We weren't only showing off our new jeans, we were showing the newest old trend the world has become infatuated with. The revival of 90's fashion is so iconic, and I needed to find the right way to show that. To me, photography is the rawest form of expression; which is why this shoot meant so much more to me than meets the eye. As I was preparing the looks for this shoot I dug through my closet with my mom, and as she absentmindedly mentioned that most of the stuff I owned she had worn herself when she was younger, I knew this shoot was the way to show everyone how the 90s were the new 00's, and how even though trends change at the speed of light, true style is timeless.</p> <p><img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/08/Alianne-Cardenas-Photographed-by-Ricardo-La-Torre-Rirod-2.JPG" alt="The 90's Are Calling!"/></p> <p>I hope our vision came across well, and I hope it inspired a vision of your own. <em><a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%2390sNostalgia&src=typd">#90sNostalgia</a></em></p> <p><img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/08/Carolina-Santiesteban-Photographed-by-Ricardo-La-Torre-Rirod-02.jpeg" alt="The 90's Are Calling!"/></p> <p><img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/08/Carolina-Santiesteban-Alianne-Cardenas-Photographed-by-Ricardo-La-Torre-Rirod-1.jpeg" alt="The 90's Are Calling!"/></p> <p><em>Alianne Cardenas graduated from Ferguson High and it's studying psychology at Miami Dade College, you can follow her on <a href="https://twitter.com/AlianneSwift">Twitter</a> or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alianneswift/">Instagram</a>.</em></p> <p><em>Second Model:<br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carohasfrecks/">Carolina Santiesteban</a></br></em></p> <p><em>If you are interested in writing for Foster Style Message <a href="https://twitter.com/rirod180">Rirod on Twitter</a></em></p> <hr> <p><em>Where to buy links:</em></p> <p><em><a href="http://bit.ly/2bWtrBu">Laters Graphic Crop Top</a></em></p> <p><em><a href="http://amzn.to/2bhzdfv">Curvy Fit Ruby Boyfriend Jean</a></em></p> <p><em><a href="http://amzn.to/2bjKvMS">Daniel Wellington Watch</a></em></p> <p><em><a href="http://amzn.to/2bjt6Jg">Women's Half Sleeve Tee Shirt Crop Tie Top </a></em></p> <p><em><a href="http://amzn.to/2boYAuM">adidas Originals Women's Superstar Sneaker</a></em></p> <!--kg-card-end: markdown--></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leaving Out Our Flipper Marks]]></title><description><![CDATA[How Miami affects sea turtles and what we can do to help.

Makeup has created products that aid in hiding your face structure, acne, blemishes, and even birthmarks. Periodically, this has degraded the idea of the existence of a women’s natural beauty, the belief in only looking beautiful with it on. On the other hand, makeup is very well one of the many virtues of growing up. Makeup is art, a pathway of ones creativity and talent.<br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/yaimz-1.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/yaimz-2.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/yaimz-3.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> Makeup has evolved, in a thousand years it’s come a long way since the copper and lead ore the Egyptians used to make cosmetics with. Today we take precaution for the makeup we buy, there are both drugstore and brand products available. There is a cosmetic for just about any imperfection. In ancient times cosmetics consisted of berries as a lip stain, burnt matches as a type of dark eye shadow, a child’s urine as a foundation, they even believed swallowing ox blood fixed blemishes and imperfections. Clearly, women went to the extremes of putting their health at risk for an enhanced beauty back then. Times have changed in terms of the danger of the actual cosmetics but an enhanced beauty is something women will continue to indulge in.<br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/annie-1.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/annie-2.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/annie-3.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> The equipment used in makeup today consists of brush sets with specific uses for each item such as foundation, eye-shadow palates, contour kits, highlighters, lip stains, sticks, glosses and much more. In makeup there are terms like smokey eye and natural looks. Smokey eye makeup can either be light, using brown and cream colors, or dark using more intense colors such as black, grey and white. The eye shadow in a smokey eye look is blended well enough to almost diminish the ability to tell apart the start of the different colors used in creating the “smoke” allusion. Now, don’t be fooled, a “natural look” is not, not wearing makeup. A natural look is more of a term used to describe someone who is wearing makeup (very little with skin colored tones) but allows you to still appreciate his or her natural beauty.<br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/yami-1-1.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/yami-2-1.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/yami-3-1.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> Well-known makeup stores today such as Sephora and Ulta include quality brands such as Anastasia, Kat Von Di, Too Faced, and Nyx. Over the past two years, matte cosmetics have been the best sellers according to Sephora and Nyx industries. These include matte powders that avoid greasy skin and matte lipsticks that are longer lasting and collectable. Many argue that if it isn’t brand, it isn’t worth it, but in some situations a trip to a drugstore can provide you with better eyeliner or an equally respectable concealer. Makeup is expensive if the product is well spoken for. Otherwise, it’s very much affordable.<br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/liz-1.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/liz-2.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/liz-3.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> Makeup has come a long way since the Egyptian days and it has changed the idea of beauty for women in the process. It’s meant to help you feel good in your own skin. Makeup is the paint, our face the canvas and we are the artists. It can be either a routine or something done for a special occasion, but it is definitely a worldwide beauty enhancer and the key to a girl’s confidence. Cosmetics have thrived in our society and as new ways of applying it or new products are brought up, the industries will continue to grow.</br></img></br></img></br></img></br></br></img></br></img></br></img></br></br></img></br></img></br></img></br></br></img></br></img></br></img></br></br></img></br></img></br></img></br></p> <p><strong>About Us</strong><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/end-3.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/07/end-4-1.jpg" alt="Makeup as Self Expression"><br> The words written on each of the model's chest are words that describe them.

She is now a world-renowned blogger, designer, and spokesperson/model for big brands like <em>Guess</em>. What most people don't know about her is that while her blog was being seen by <em>1 million different visitors per month</em>, she was a law student at Bocconi University.</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/xenia/">Xenia Tchoumitcheva</a></strong></li> </ul> <p><img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/03/xenia-tchoumitcheva-psgross_business420x420.jpg" alt="Powerful Female Fashion Bloggers You Must Know"/></p> <p>Also born in 1987, the 28-year-old has been involved in the fashion world since a very young age - from modeling to fashion blogging - however, that didn't keep her from getting a proper education. <em>The successful entrepreneur holds an economics degree</em> and speaks <em>six</em> different languages! That's a real #girlboss right there.</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/songofstyle/">Aimee Song</a></strong><br> <img src="https://admin.fosterstyle.com/content/images/2016/03/c41c5e11bd1871934bc3c06dc35d011d.jpg" alt="Powerful Female Fashion Bloggers You Must Know"/></br></li> </ul> <p>Initially, Aimee's plan was never to end up being a style blogger. She studied interior architecture and as she would blog about interior designs, she would sometimes post self-images of her daily outfits and soon became an instant hit in the fashion world. Aimee has now appeared in the Forbes <em>30 under 30 list and boosts over 3 million Instagram followers</em>.</p> <!--kg-card-end: markdown-->]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[5 Must See US State Parks for your Bucket List]]></title><description><![CDATA[Whether you have been to any of these state parks or not, these are some must see favorites to visit during any season of the year for locals and tourists around the world.
