Cute Flats for Spring

Let’s face it we can’t wear heels all the time. They can be tiring, I know…heels make your body look better and leaner, but I need to wear flats. So why not get a pair (or a few pairs!) of cute flats. Also, the BF is around the same height as me so when I [...]

Will you shop at Topshop?

Topshop in NY will be opening this week (April 2, 11am to be exact). TopShop is big in the UK and now there are plans to take over the world…ok not the world, but at least NY. TopShop is like an H&M (clothes, clothes, clothes), but a little bit pricier. So will you shop at [...]

Pink Nails

There are so many nail color trends. They come and go and come back again. Sometimes we need an old faithful that’s always there for us through the good times and the bad times. A nail color that can take us from day to night and from a wedding to a meeting to the beach [...]

Lady GaGa in Concert

This is a photo of Lady GaGa in concert from this week. I love Lady GaGa. I feel like she is really original and we haven’t seen someone like her in a long time. I love her style even though she never wears pants. I like to call her style “Artistic” because she often looks [...]

Do you thread?

  I was considering getting my eyebrows threaded but I don’t know of any good places near me, so I just went with my old fav and waxed my brows. But I have heard that threading your hair is easier on the skin because you are not using wax and so you don’t pull off [...]

Eyes Lips Face (e.l.f.): Do you use their products?

E.L.F. has a lot of products and they are super cheap. But if the price is cheap…are the products cheap too? I personally haven’t tried any of their products, but I am always willing to try out a beauty product in the name of research. I think that the company looks cute. Do you use [...]

Fergie’s outfit: Hot or Not?

Fergie was seen at the airport yesterday in this ensemble. She was on her way to Miami to celebrate her cumpleaño (her birthday) While I love elements of this outfit, I feel like all of it together just seems to be too much. The leather jacket, scarf and t-shirt are all good until you get [...]

Kim Kardashian has cellulite…so what!!!!

Kim Kardashian may have cellulite but really who cares. She was Photoshopped as everyone in Hollywood is. What is the big deal? I think she looks fine in her original picture but as always magazines Photoshop everything and I mean everything. Really…Who cares? Plus, I really don’t see Kim’s cellulite. She just looks a tiny [...]

Big Bold Lush Eyelashes

I have wimpy eyelashes. I put on two coats of mascara and still puny eyelashes. I want those eyelashes that really make your lashes pop. Like the doe eyed look that Tyra Banks always talks about on Top Model. I know I probably need false eyelashes for that look but let’s go the natural route. [...]

Statement pieces: Handbag Edition

I love accessories. Most of my clothes are plain but I like to pop my outfit with cool shoes, jewelry, purses/bags and accessories. To make my outfit pop I love to use color, like a vibrant purple or fuchsia, bright blue or yellow. It should compliment my outfit but stand out but not in an [...]

Rihanna’s new tattoo

  Rihanna has gotten a new tattoo …umm it’s a tiny gun on her ribcage. Usually, people get tattoos of meaningful things (usually, but not all the time)…so what is she trying to say with this tattoo? Does she plan to shoot someone? I don’t think so but…what was she thinking when she decided …u [...]

Rihanna’s CoverGirl endorsement: Do you feel differently about the Ad campaign?

Rihanna has been the celebrity spokeswoman for CoverGirl for quite some time now. I have seen her CoverGirl print ads and TV commercials and every time I see those ads I don’t see the brand, but I see a woman that has been part of a domestic violence dispute. I have no idea what really [...]

Pastels: let’s go soft!!!

Every time Easter comes around all I can think about is bunnies, pastel colors and how much I hate peeps (sorry people I think that peeps are gross). I used to eat peeps as a child and then I guess one day I ate too many and I got sick of them and maybe from [...]

Rachel Roy is getting divorced from Damon Dash

Fashion Designer Rachel Roy is getting divorced from her husband/Roc-A-Fella Record co-founder, Damon Dash. I’m not sure why they are getting divorced, but there were some very public rumblings that there were money woes. Nonetheless, Rachel Roy has some fantastic clothes (clothes I can’t afford, but I can drool over). She has some beautiful dresses [...]

Do you take a multivitamin?

We all want to be healthy or we at least want to try!!!! I wish I could make a bigger commit to take my vitamins, but as always I either forget or I get too lazy. I mean it’s only a pill and it takes like 5 seconds to swallow the pill and gulp a [...]

Headbands: It’s a Blair Waldorf World

Headbands are so hot right now, it’s ridiculous. I believe that Blair Waldorf and Gossip Girl have single handedly transformed a trend into sensation. I have not seen something like this since “the Rachel” in the 90′s. Blair always wears her headbands the same way, on the top of her head (she is a classic [...]

Scalp massage brush

I have to admit I often neglect my scalp. It’s like…shampoo (check), conditioner (check), styling serum (check) and something for my scalp…ummm nothing! I forget that my hair comes out of my scalp and that I should take care of my scalp. You need a healthy scalp as much as you need healthy hair. Just [...]
