imPRESS Press-On Manicure

imPRESS Press-On Manicure

I got to try this as a free sample from Shoedazzle and even though i didn't love them mostly because of the nasty color i got i think this are an amazing alternative to an emergency manicure, they are super easy to apply and if you happen to really really care about going out with bare nails then get it it will help a lot on those days where either u didn't get to get a manicure or have chipped polish, or maybe one of those weeks where every other nail in your hand decided to break.

WEN by Chaz Dean Cleansing Conditioner

WEN by Chaz Dean Cleansing Conditioner

I do not like this product there are so many things i can write about it but the main one is that even though i sign up for just a trial they charged me and sent me a whole new shipment, im still waiting for the return label its been 3 weeks...

Spring Eyes.

Miu Miu Spring 2011 runway show featured one of my favorite makeup looks. Thick eyeliner and bold lips in this case bright red, it couldn't fit better this season when bright lips is the #1 makeup trend. Some of my favorite and colors that i dare to wear are SNOB by mac which on me looks like a Barbie pink, on the coral side i pick Makeup Forever #24 and #39 and when it comes to nudes which i think it would go great with this eyeliner trend is my go to is Mac's oh so famous Myth...

SAM EDELMAN LOVE

This spring/summer Sam Edelman is calling my name!! I wont lie, just if it was a tad more affordable i wouldn't even blink on buying every single one of them but with grand total of $400 for all 3 pairs i think i will be saving my cash for a more significant purchase.

HAPPY MARDI GRAS!

YES I KNOW ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE MARDI GRAS BUT STILL I WANTED TO UPLOAD SOME PICS... THIS MARDI GRAS WAS GREAT SINCE WE MOVED UPTOWN EVERYTHING LIKE THE PARADES AND DOWNTOWN WAS VERY ACCESSIBLE! ALSO I GOT THE VISIT OF A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND WHO IS REALLY CLOSE TO MY HEART AND WE HAD A BLAST ! HOPING MARDI GRAS 2012 IS 1000 TIMES BETTER ! TOODLES !

DREAM SPRING/SUMMER DRESS

I really don't know how much sense this makes but i had to get it out of my mind and put it in paper! to be honest... I LOVE IT!!!

Tail hemlines are a big trend coming in for spring and summer 2011 i personally fell in love with it since the moment i saw it (yes i know this trend has been around for a long time) and i started looking for a dupe everywhere online but of course failing miserably.

On the other hand, I am NOT a Leah Michelle fan but from the moment i saw her in that Catherine Malandrino green gown i HAD to secretly give it to her or to Malandrino perhaps... The cleavage is beautiful and the ruffled sleeves are just perfect.

And as if i was praying to saints of fashion divine intervention occurred in my mind, the blend of these two amazing pieces that to me will make the perfect dress for the upcoming seasons.

Ive started the search for a local affordable tailor or designer that maybe can make my "dream" come true. Don't forget i live in New Orleans and if you happen to be reading this and know of someone please let me know.

MY SPRING '11 NAILS

Spring is almost here and i have to say i'm UBER exited about this spring's color trends. YES i do love dark polish it defintly gives that edgy look that some times im in the mood for but since i can remember; in my book, theres nothing more classy than a nude color nail. But everything cannot be always classy so if you want to twist it up a bit here are my favorite shades for this spring.

Some of my favorite shades for each category are:

LILACISM from Essie

FOR AUDREY from China Glaze

BALLET SLIPPERS from Essie

SILVER LINING from Forever 21

Ps:Essie's new collection "FRENCH AFFAIR" really hits the spot, ESSIE is now available at WALGREENS.

AMAZING DEAL!

Not long ago i went into my local Steve Madden just not to loose the routine monotonic usual stroll around the mall to be pleasantly surprised with 2 racks of 50% off boots, sandals, pumps and anything you can think of. the first thing that caught my eye where these black platform leather pumps that i've been trying to find forever but not been wanting to pay tag price for them and since my black suede platform pumps were screaming for a replacement so i decided to go for it.

Originally $99.95 minus the 50% off it cannot get better than that!!! didn't think about it twice and lucky they had them in my size i snatched the

m and kept on browsing and again hit the jackpot with another pair of tan platform pumps "which btw are my absolute fav

orite goto of the moment shoe" also marked down 50% from $109.95

So run and see if they have the same deals its definitely one not to pass on.

Its been a while....

In late may for Memorial day weekend i will be attending a close friend beach wedding and ive been trying to put together a "Fashion Beach Essential" i have very clear what i'm supposed to bring to a beach vacay but i wanted to do a real fashion essential not the same old "lots cotton dresses and 10 different color flippyfloppis" Mix and Matching bathing suit tops and bottoms is nothing new but defenitly something really smart to do. I took my options form TARGET.COM since its affordable and who doesn't love TARGET? I picked 8 pieces to mix and match for only $136 which is most likely just one part of any brand name swimwear company or designer. (PS IM OBSESSED WITH GETTING A www.beachbunny.com lace bikini but not the pocket or the body allow it)

I choose pieces that i actually own, similar ones and a few must have/buy.

The oversize boyfriend white shirt, i will use it in two ways one as a night outfit and as a beach cover up after i've used it to go out.

Denim shorts, im not a huge fan of but denim or fabric it will do and can go from day to night if we add pumps or wedges which are the next item

Shoes, Espadrille wedges!!, i havent been able to find the perfect pair yet, but i am loving this Michael Kors brown leather wedges. Nonetheless bring flip flops a pair of dressy sandals and a pair of flats, i choose the Tory Burch Reva Jelly Flats it makes them perfect for the beach since theres no worries about getting them wet they are comfy and always classy and stylish.

Skinny Jeggins, the best option for the beach denim leggins will dress you up at night or will be very useful on the cold way back home or on the way there, they are comfy and light and a key piece lately.

Cardigan, for those cooler nights and to match with almost every outfit you take.

Dresses, i picked 3 options, a maxi dress which i'm planning to wear to the wedding, but you can wear it for almost anything, a jersey dress which is a great option to stroll around with or perhaps dinner, and finally a one shoulder SATC2 Carrie arrives to Morocco with dress which will be statement piece anywhere we go to and can definitely be dress up or down.

Shirts, 3 tops that will be statement pieces for any occasion are a Tory Burch like tunic that can be used also as a cover up at the beach, a sexy ruffled back for any occasion an exaggerated sleeve top.

Bags, my bag choice for any trip has to be the LV Neverfull GM, its name says it all It will never be full you can fit your life in it and is perfect for trips. A straw bag for the beach is a great accessory and will not only fit you beach essentials but will give you that extra chic beachy look.

Sunglasses, Your favorite pair and please don't forget to bring some kind of protection against those mean UV Rays!

SEQUINS SEQUINS SEQUINS

WHO KNEW SEQUIN WOULD BE BACK IN SUCH BIG WAY! TO ME THE KEY TO WEAR SEQUIN AND NOT LOOK LIKE GRANDMA AT A WEDDING IS TO CHOOSE A COUPLE OF STATEMENT PIECES SUCH AS A MINI SKIRT, A BLAZER, A CLASSY TOP OR A CHICH DRESS.

LETS GO FOR A RIDE

NO NOT THAT KIND OF RIDE! A HORSE RIDE! I AM DYING FOR THIS TREND AND STILL HAVENT FOUND EXACTLY WHAT I WANT. IM TALKING ABOUT RIDING BOOTS THEY ARE HUGE THIS SEASON AND SO CLASSY! I CANT WAIT TO PICK UP MY PAIR ANY TIME NOW

HOLIDAY MAKEUP

FALL 2010 IS THE SEASON OF LETS BRING RED LIPS BACK AND THIS TREND WILL NOT ONLY BOOM FOR FALL BUT I THINK IT WILL CONTINUE AFTER THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER. HERE ARE SOME PICS OF WHAT I THINK IS THE PERFECT HOLIDAY MAKEUP AND WHAT I WILL BE USING. SMOKEY EYES, RED LIPS AND FALSIES ALL THE WAY!

NEW PURCHASE!!

Im so exited about this! yesterday, Tory Burch had a private sale going on with really good deals from bags to flats to anything you would like. I was very hesitant about getting anthing from TB but since the prize point was good and i figure Fall is comming and i would be needing another pair of flats... WHY NOT.. so i got this cute bone color kind of snake patter flats... i hope i like them !

SKIN CARE YSL

I have to admit it... i do not take care of my skin. i dont! and i have to say i must be blessed in that aspect because yes i do break out here and there and no i dont have porcelain skin, but my skin is very normal... YES i sleep with my makeup on, NO i dont wash my face, NO i dont use any type of cream, cleanser or wipes NOTHING. but this was until not long ago, years ago i got a sample of YSL's Hydrating lotion and since then i've been in love with the fragrance, but never got around purchasing it until i did a "wishlist" on here. Now that ive own it for i would say 2 to 3 months i have to say and be honest NO i have not made a ritual out of it but i do use it very frequently usually right after i shower and i have to say it works great and once again yes the fragrance is ADDICTING, since ive liked it so much ive decided to go on a quest for another YSL product that well 1st i would use, 2nd it would work and 3rd it would smell as lovely as this one. so ive decided to go for YSL Toning and Cleansing Water. im crossing my fingers for this to work it seem to be very promising since its a toner and a makeup remover cleans eyes and face and it says to leave your skin glowing radiant and fresh, so i have my fingers crossed that it will work, now the bad news, ive been out of the country for almost 2 months now and havent have the chance to see is this product is available at the beauty counter of my local Saks or Dillards which i am praying for it to be, because this profuct is nowhere to be found online, NOWHERE not at YSL.com and not at any luxe department store i am really getting anxi but lets hope for the best.

MORE NAILS!!

I dont know why but since i took off my fake nails ive been trying my best to take care of my real nails and since ive been doing that ive got hooked on yet another fashion item, NAIL POLISH and ofcourse new nail trends, one ive seen a lot going around my favorite youtubers is the ONE NAIL trend where you paint one nail whichever you want to, i pick the index one and paint it either sparkly or a different color, since im not that much into spakle polish yet i decided to try the solid one and i have to be honest, im liking it ! even my mom said it was cute ! so thats always a plus ! anyways heres a pic so you can see the finish look.

NEW NAIL TREND?

YSL IS LAUNCHING A NEW TREND FOR FALL '10 AND IM LIKING IT!!

THE NAIL POLISHES COME AS A SET COUPLE COMBINATION

PURPLE-TURQUOIS (BEAUTIFUL DAY)

TOMS

I've always wanted a pair Toms Shoes but always thought they looked a tad too "hippiesh" but this season our dear tom came out with TOMS CANVAS WEDGES now we all know that every time you buy a pair of TOMS they give a pair to a child in need, so now you can not only look fashionable with this summer's GO TO shoe the wedge but also we can give a new pair of shoes to a child in need. They come in different colors such as Black, mint green and yellow and also a striped canvas in orange red and my personal fav BLUE. hope you like enjoy and buy :)

ONE OF MY LAST MAKEUP PURCHASE WAS THE SHEER MATTE FOUNDATION FROM NARS, I LOVE THE COLOR! TAHOE IS EVERYTHING I LOOK IN A FOUNDATION COLOR WISE, BUT IM NOT SURE ABOUT THE COVERAGE.
NOW WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR, SO BEING THAT NARS IS IN THE HIGHER LEVEL WHEN IT COMES TO PRICES ITS TAKEN ME A WHILE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO GET A BLUSH OR NOT, DECISION HAS BEEN MADE AND ITS A YES ! BUT NOW WHAT CANNOT BE DECIDED IS THE COLOR, HERE ARE MY CHOICES.

DESIRE: A COTTON CANDY PINK
ORGASM(EVERYONE'S FAVORITE): A PEACHY PINK WITH SHIMMER
TAJ MAHAL: BURNT ORANGE WITH SHIMMER.

THE REASONS FOR THIS COLORS:
DESIRE, THE BARBIE FUSCHIA I THINK ITS PRETTY HOT FOR THIS SUMMER
ORGAMS: ITS THE GO TO COLOR THE ONE EVERYONE LOVES KIND OF NARS SIGNATURE PRODUCT.
TAJ MAHAL: ITS A VERY EDGY COLOR THAT I THINK WOULD FLATTERED MY SKIN TONE AND GOES OUT OF THE NORM I THINK I WOULD LOVE THIS... (SINCE I REALLY LOVE THE TAN/SUN KISSED LOOK ON MY FACE)
ANYWAYS, UNTIL I CAN MAKE A DECISION....
