 “Hi Ms. Elitou! I am a young fashionista and I am in love with the overall trend! I love the style of it all and I want to switch the style up.

PEARL BEAUTY: Take Pearls to a New Level with a Pearl Tattoo!

Pearls are classily known for their beauty and grace and now you can have those traits on you forever with this beautiful tattoo.

We think this Coco Chanel Pearl tattoo by Art Gallardo is an amazing display of art and beauty. The tattoo features two pearl strands creating great layering along with a Chanel emblem, and two pearl encrusted birds.

That is an amazing display of love for pearls but is it too permanent?

What do you think of the tattoo? Would you get a pearl tattoo?

ASK MS. ELITOU: How can I add pearls to my “Raver Cool” style?

 “Hey Ms. Elitou! I have what you call a ‘Raver Cool’ party style. I’m a twenty-year old, college student who studies hard so when I have time off I truly enjoy a party! When I go out to a party I have a really fun style.  I love to wear neon colored clothing and accessories, crop tops, fun wedges and fitted distressed jeans for the most part.  I would really like to switch up my common neon accessories and I was hoping you could suggest a pearl style for me. Thanks!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      -Sara C. read more
