Bombay Bicycle Club- Sixteen

And so far we had someone
That doesn’t work for everyone.
But I’m thinking this could be a one,
If we put our minds to it.

And I came round today,
So I had so much to say;
And I know you hate seeing me this way,
But I’m having fun.

You realise, you realise;
It’s real life, it’s real life.
You realise, you realise;
It’s real life, it’s real life. (x2)

Trying to prove you’re alright;
And losing track of the time.
Even when the Summer’s passing by.

And bringing it down to focus;
And try to bring it down but I’m hopeless;
Andwe should write this down, so we can remember it.

And yes there was a time
When we were two of a kind,
but now I can’t even remember why.

You realise, you realise;
It’s real life, it’s real life.
You realise, you realise;
It’s real life, it’s real life.

Trying to prove you’re alright;
And losing track of the time.
Sixteen is on the side.
Don’t waste anytime inside.
Even when the Summer’s passing by

EQUIPMENT Femme Shirt

A regular button down shirt you say? I beg to differ. In the late 70′s when women’s fashion was taking a left turn into men’s wear, French designer Christian Restoin was one of the first to introduce the classic men’s shirt into the women’s ready-to-wear industry. I believe in tailored basics where craftsmanship and quality make the difference. Simplicity is always key in my book. I would rather have 1 nice shirt than 5 mass-produced shirts because that 1 nice shirt will last longer and most likely never go out of style. Today, the creative director of Current Elliot and Joie has taken Equipment to the next level. My new favorite is Brett’ from the Femme collection. It sits a little slimmer and has only 1 pocket detail. Of course, I purchased it in 100% silk coral and would ideally pair it with white skinny jeans. I can wear it a million and one ways. No buyer’s remorse here. Get it at shopbop, bloomies, or Pickett Fences on Larchmont Boulevard for $198.00

Alex Clare- Too Close

You know I’m not one to break promises
I don’t want to hurt you but I need to breathe
At the end of it all, you’re still my best friend
But there’s something inside that I need to release
Which way is right, which way is wrong
How do I say that I need to move on
You know we’re headed separate ways

And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There’s nothing I can really say
I can’t lie no more, I can’t hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I’ll be on my way

You gave me more that I can return
Yet there’s so much that you deserve
Nothing to say, nothing to do,
I’ve nothing to give
I must leave without you
You know we’re headed separate ways

And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There’s nothing I can really say
I can’t lie no more, I can’t hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I’ll be on my way

So I’ll be on my way

And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There’s nothing that I can really say
I can’t lie no more, I can’t hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I’ll be on my way

So I’ll be on my way
So I’ll be on my way

Salvatore Ferragamo ‘My Summer’ Sandal

Summer is right around the corner and I am getting geared up. Nothing more exciting than glistening tans, tank tops, and fresh manicured feet in sandals! Sometimes I’m good, but most of the time I am bad.

Case of the bad: Ferragamo sandals in Nude from Nordstrom. They also come in red and black.

Here comes the justification scenario: Timeless, Well-made, Neutral, I live in LA! I need shoes?

Happy Feet = Happy Life. Ya ya it doesn’t rhyme get over it.

Not your usual Weekly Fuss

I have so much to be grateful for in my life. I have a beautiful supportive family who loves me unconditionally. I have friends who I can laugh with till the wee morning hours. I have a brain, I don’t gain weight ( sorry about it) and you know what, I don’t take myself too seriously. I have a random sense of humor and girls who aren’t funny well….just aren’t funny. I also have my health and from living day-to-day, I have learned that sheesh, without that, nothing really matters. You can have all the money in the world and it won’t do you any good (UNLESS you are Magic Johnson) hehe. On top of all of that, I love what I do. I feel so blessed to be able to experience a 9 to 5 where I make the rules, work with wonderful people, decide what trends I want to buy, AND style! I lost sight of that for a minute. Being a Gemini and a bit cooky headed, writing is my other outlet for creativity. It’s fun to be well-rounded. I talk it up with people, I work the occasional red carpet, I write for a magazine, and I get to go to fun parties. I live one day at a time and if tomorrow I wake up and I want to change something, I will work very hard to do so.

 As for the obstacles, embrace them. I’m no Buddha but I guess at the end of the day it’s all about perspective.

 

 

Anthropologie Seafoam Denim Shorts

I am obsessed with the color seafoam green. Seafoam is like a greenish light blue that is really in style right now from nail polish to cars. Couple days ago as I was getting my Starbucks Vanilla Latte I perused by my local Anthropologie and spotted these cute denim shorts from a window display.  I chugged my coffee and ran inside to give them a try. Perfection! What are the odds? Shorts usually look herrendous on me. Thanks Lancome self-tanner. Anyways, super cute and super comfortable. Catch them for $68.00 at Anthropologie. This “Pilcro Stet Denim Roll Ups” short does come in white and coral as well.

Tory Burch Kyle Criss Cross Heel

When Tory Burch first made it big circa 2007, I was one of the first one’s running to Nordstrom’s to get me a pair of her signature flats. I was sadly disappointed by how uncomfortable they turned out to be. I swore I would never buy anything Tory Burch again but I lied. I then purchased a Bowler handbag that was oh so cute. Well…it fell apart not even 5 months into me owning it (INSERT 1st time shame on you, 2nd time shame on me annotation.) I mean anyone would have learned their lesson right? Not. I went ahead and recently made yet another TB purchase but this time, I am very much pleased. I am a proud owner of the Kyle heel that I scored on sale down from $475 to $240. Thanks to shopbop as always. Crafted with black velvet, silk, and a dainty bow–every chic woman needs these in their closet. I knew the old saying “third time is a charm” would have some form of righteousness in my life.

Lululemon Wonder Leggings

Don’t you hate it when leggings become transparent or jeez, stretch out? Isn’t that an oxymoron. Yeah, yeah, leggings aren’t pants and I shouldn’t be wearing them outside of the gym but tough luck. My old favorite brand for leggings was American Apparel but move over AA, granola yogi Lululemon has taken over. I recently invested in a pair of the Wunder Under Pant from Lululemon  Athletica  for $78 and even baby jesus congratulated me on my purchase. I know it’s kind of a hefty price tag for spandex but trust me, it is soo worth it. Hoorah to more days where I dress in work out clothes and pretend to “work out” just because I am too lazy to dress in normal clothes. In my opinion, I look pretty damn cute.

The Weekend- High for This


You don’t know what’s in store
But you know what you’re here for
Close your eyes
Lay yourself beside me
Hold tight for this ride
We don’t need no protection
Come alone
We don’t need attention

Open your hand
Take a glass
Don’t be scared
I’m right here
Even though you don’t roll
Trust me girl
You wanna be high for this

Take it off
You want it off
‘Cause I know what you’re feeling
It’s okay girl I feel it too
Let it beat baby breathe
I swear I’m right here
We’ll be good; I promise
We’ll be so good

Open your hand
Take a glass
Don’t be scared
I’m right here
Even though you don’t roll
Trust me girl
You wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this

You wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this

My Beliefs

Molecule 01 by Escentric

When it comes to attracting a man, anthropologists claim that a woman doesn’t  have to wear any perfume at all. It’s this thing called Pheromones. While pheromones are very much intriguing, I love perfume! I have been forever loyal to Prada ’Milano’ for over three years now but really needed a change. I tried Narciso Rodriguez, Chloe, and even custom-made perfume that I had made by a mixologist. Nothing captured my senses like ‘Molecule 01′ by Escentric Molecules. The scent is captivating and unlike anything else. I have been wearing it for only a week (thanks to my cousin Tamar) and have never gotten more compliments on my perfume. The scent is unisex but could be mistaken as a very feminine scent. The creator is from Berlin, Germany, whose intentions were exactly that people fall in love. The scent is sexy and deep with a long-lasting effect. Starting off as crisp and clean settles down to something warm and seductive. Catch it at Barney’s for $135.00. Now the question is…is it me or is it the perfume? We will never know.

Andrew Belle ft. Katie Herzig – Static Waves

i count the steps from where i am
to where i started
i tap my feet
and close the door, to your apartment
and i know youre never gonna understand

its too late for you to stop and think
too late to mention
i make a move and spill my drink
to break the tension
i know youre never gonna understand
ill try my best to follow if i can, but

i would have let you leave (x3)

the static waves across the screen
define this notion
back and forth and in between
like my emotion
and i know youre never gonna understand
and wont you slow this down oh if you can

you swayed your hips and stole the breathe
that i was taking
i touched your lips and held your hands
when they were shaking

look how we’ve fallen upon our knees
how we forgot it
these empty halls held our disease
before we caught it
now out the door and down the stairs from your apartment
i would have let you leave

the static waves across the screen
define this notion
back and forth and in between
like my emotion

now out the door and down the stairs
from your apartment
i count the steps from where i am
to where i started
i would have let you (x3)
i would have let you leave

Parov Stelar ft. Lilja Bloom-Coco

Walking through dark streets,
the cold is looking for some way to stroke my skin.
My body is shaking, my knees are weak,
intense emotions overflowing me…

I try to find myself, I try to move on,
dont know where I am, please carry me home…
I try to find myself,
I try to move on, dont know where I am,
please carry me home…

But I tell you whats inside of me will never die,will never die…

I try to find myself, I try to move on,
dont know where I am, please carry me home…

Foster the People- Helena Beat

Sometimes life it takes you by the hand.
It puts you down before you know it
It’s gone and you’re dead again.
I’ve been in places and I won’t pretend
That I make it I just follow my head.
When its strange to take a walk downstairs
Sweep u all up on a corner and pay for my bread.
You know that I cannot believe my own truth
To show what a truth, got nothin’ to lose.

Yeah yeah and it’s okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight.

You know those days when u wanted to choose
To not get out of bed and get lost in your head again.
You play the game but you gotta cut
Cuz’ you’re comin’ down hard your joints are off stud.
I tried to say that’s not the only way
I never knew if I could convince myself to change.
You were pacing I was insecure.
Slip and fall I got the call of the prison I was livin’ in.

Yeah yeah and it’s okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight

Vince Camuto ‘Jerrell’ bootie

I have very expensive taste. I know, I know, shame on me. To my defense it’s not because I am snobby but because I like quality. I hate buying and not being able to wear  more than once or twice. I would rather spend a little more and enjoy my purchases. But if i can find quality and prices that won’t break the bank…even better! I shop smart when I can. I try to seek the most classic looking items that will never go out of style. I found these Vince Camuto booties under $100.00 and fell in love. They are a perfect heel height and do not scream cheap! I cannot stand triple platform, color blocked, bedazzled shoes any longer.  Super cute and affordable. They resemble a pair of Prada ankle booties.

Electric Blue Denim

I splurged on my red jeans remember? Alright well I will not do it again on color denim. Plus, red denim is timeless. At American Eagle I found the cutest pair of rocking blue  skinny jeans. For 44.50, I would buy three pairs if I needed any other color. They also come in red! Cute, affordable, and just plain fun.  I wore them with a plain white scoop long sleeve t-shirt, a brown belt, and jelly sandals. They would be cute with slouchy brown boots and a camel cardigan as well. Cheers.

Friendly Fires- Paris

One day we’re gonna live in Paris
I promise
I’m on it
When I’m bringing in the money
I promise
I’m on it
I’m gonna take you out to club showcase
We’re gonna live it up
I promise
Just hold on a little more

And every night we’ll watch the stars
They’ll be out for us
They’ll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They’ll be out for us
They’ll be out for us

One day we’re gonna live in Paris
I promise
I’m on it
I’ll find you that French boy,
You’ll find me that French girl
I promise
I’m on it

So go and pack your bags
For the long haul
We’re gonna lose ourselves
I promise
This time it’s you and me for evermore

And every night we’ll watch the stars
They’ll be out for us
They’ll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They’ll be out for us
They’ll be out for us

And every night we’ll watch the stars
They’ll be out for us
They’ll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They’ll be out for us
They’ll be out for us

YSL scented mascara

I cannot seem to make up my mind on whether drugstore mascara is better than department store…I go back and forth all the time.

I have come to the conclusion: I like to use both.!!!! I love my Maybelline, but I also will never give up my Dior. YSL is a new favorite of mine and for more reasons than one.

Check out their new “SHOCKING” mascara with a scented wand! Clever. Sure it is $ 30.00, but your lashes and nose are worth it.

Fashion Night Out Los Angeles!

I had a blast working and exploring Fashion Night Out in L.A. with Yerevan Magazine this past week. I attended FNO Century City where celebrities like LL COOL J and Peta Murgatroyd from Dancing with Stars showed up. I also made it to the Rodeo Drive event which was tons of fun. The streets were overflowing with fashionistas and food trucks. I enjoyed 3 street tacos that were delicious. I felt like a kid again as I waited in line for the famous ferris wheel smack dab in the middle of Rodeo! I am not going to lie, I was slightly terrifyed at first. Overall, I had a great night and cannot wait to do it again next year! Check out some pictures from the event and my write-up.

Parov Stelar- The Phantom

 

A glance into the history of Hermes

In 1837, Thierry Hermes set up a Saddlery workshop which became the flagship location: 24 Faubourg Saint-Honore.

Under the name Hermes Freres,  the Haut à Courroies bag and “saddle stitched” leather goods—bags, luggage, sport and driving accessories were introduced.

The Petit Sac à courroie pour dame, created in 1935, is renamed the Kelly after Grace Kelly famously carries it to hide her pregnancy.
 

When Jane Birkin complained to Hermes president Jean-Louis Dumas in the 1980s, the Birkin bag was created!

Weekly Fuss

Looks like it is that time of the week again…Ha! So, this fuss sparked from watching girls walking down the street as I go to work. I park my car, get all my belongings, and start walking up Larchmont Boulevard to get an iced coffee from the local coffee shop. Behind me, I hear annoying clicking hitting the uneven cement. As I turn, OF COURSE I see a serious case of “Wearing heels that are too big or simply too high.” Ugh! First of all, can you please wear shoes that fit? Second, can you make sure you do not look like you are trying too hard 9 AM in the morning with your 4 inch heels? It works the opposite, instead of looking cute, taller, sexier, etc… people are just going to laugh at you.

I know, heels are a pain in the butt…I have been wearing them for years. At a previous job, I would have to wear heels 6-7 hours a day running up and down 3 stories, several times a day (cough, department store rhymes with Lordstrom) and it was awful. But, I learned to maneuver without looking like a loser.

Tips:

1. Wear heels with a higher platform, it helps release some the stress off the ball of your foot.

2. Wear foot petals! They work! Even drug-stores sell them!

3. Think about your situation and which type of heel would be most suitable.

Example: A picnic  would require more of a wedge heel rather than a pointy heel.(Grass hates Heels)

4. Find an alternative to wearing heels. Maybe a dressy patent flat?

Whatever you do, please do not look like you are being tortured across The Sahara Desert as you are walking to your next destination.

Beyonce- I Miss You

Haven’t heard a powerful song like this for a while…

I thought that things like this get better with time
But I still need you, why is that?
You’re the only image in my mind
So I still see you… around
I miss you, like everyday
Wanna be with you, but you’re away
Said I miss you, missing you insane
But if I got with you, could it feel the same

Words don’t ever seem to come out right
But I still mean them, why is that?
It hurts my pride to tell you how I feel
But I still need to, why is that?

I miss you, like everyday
Wanna be with you, but you’re away
I said I miss you, missing you insane
But if I got with you, could it feel the same
It don’t matter who you are
It’s so simple, a feeling
But it’s everything
No matter who you love
It is so simple, a feeling
But it’s everything

I miss you, like everyday
Wanna be with you, but you’re away
I said I miss you, missing you insane
But if I got with you, could it feel the same

It don’t matter who you are
It’s so simple, a feeling
But it’s everything
No matter who you love
It is so simple, a feeling
But it’s everything

12. Kitten heels, platform flip flops, and open toe booties.

13. Babies that do not smile when you try to make them laugh.

DIESEL Makes the World’s First Waterproof Cut-Offs

I bought my first pair of Diesel jeans in the 9th grade–I was so ecstatic! I would wear them everyday to school as they replaced my Miss Sixty denim. Naturally, I am obsessed with denim–therefore, this little piece of news was very interesting to me. Diesel has now made a waterproof nylon version of their classic cut off shorts ! The same fit and everything! My cut offs do not come off of me when I am at the pool or near the beach. Now literally, they will not come off of me haha. For $15.00, I think they are pretty hot to pair with a bikini top.

Justin Bieber ‘Vanity Fair’ Cover Tanks

The February Vanity Fair issue is said to be the worst selling issue in 12 years! How could this be? Justin Bieber is one of most talked about celebrities in mainstream media. Well, Vanity Fair is not necessarily geared towards teens and younger adults. That is why. Teens are not the target market! They should have just put Lady Gaga on the cover. Hmm.. Warren Buffet? Justin Bieber? Yeah, not the target audience.

I really like this Justin Bieber quote:

I’m crazy, I’m nuts. Just the way my brain works. I’m not normal. I think differently—my mind is always racing. I’m just … nuts. But I think the best [musicians] probably are.

Cold War Kids- Skip the Charades

You wait on letters

Fishing for any sign of life

Drinks after dinner

 Your friends will get you to unwind

 Let’s skip the charades

 Can we just speak plain?

 I’m two left feet

 When I’m home, we tap-danced on broken glass

 Somehow you manage

 To keep your sense of humor in tact

 Let’s skip the charades

 You’re seeing right through me anyway

 Can we just speak plain?

 We’re playing for the same team

 But I’m the one that’s acting like

 Acting like

 Acting like

 I’m so strong

 You’re the one that’s acting like

 Acting like

 Acting like

 Nothing’s wrong

 You dodged the bullet

 You do your best when you’re busiest

 You’re disconnected

 You can’t find your name in the script

 It was you who were wildest

 It was you who floated above us all

 I held on with wires

 Will you come back down if I let you go?

 Let’s skip the charades

 You’re seeing right through me anyway

 Can we just speak plain?

 We’re playing for the same team

 But I’m the one that’s acting like I’m so strong

 You’re the one that’s acting like nothing’s wrong

 I’m the one that’s acting like I’m so strong

 You’re the one that’s acting like nothing’s wrong

 Can we skip the charades?

 Just speak plain

 Can we skip the charades?

 Just speak plain

 Can we skip the charades?

 Just speak plain

 Can we skip the charades?

 Just speak plain

I usually never stray too far from reds and pinks when it comes to nailpolish. Although last year I did jump on the grey tones bandwagon. This year, I am obsessed with Essie’s “Mink Muffs” color! Fancy Sol had a horseracing event to go to over the weekend and I wanted a color to match my tone on tone outfit of taupe and Mink Muffs came to the rescue. The color is so rich and I cannot stop staring at my hands and feet! As soon as I left the nail salon I rushed to the nearest beauty supply store to get my fix at home!

The Kills- Baby Says…Acoustic version

Baby says she’s dying to meet you
Take you off and make your blood hum
And tremble like the fairground lights

Baby says if ever you see skin as fair
Or eyes as deep and as black as mine
I’ll know you’re lying

Baby says a howl of romance I’ll get
From all your sleeping dogs, you thugs of God
I’ll get one yet

Baby says for all I’ve forsaken
Make something of all the noise
And the mess you’re making
And all the time’s it’s taken

Baby says there’s death in these silver curls
That break up in jails
Send you diving for pearls
Without a care in the world

Baby says she’s dying to meet you
Take you off and make your blood hum
And tremble like the crimball lights

Baby says a howl of romance I’ll get
From all your sleeping dogs, you thugs of God
I’ll get one yet

Steve Madden ‘Marryy’ Wedge

I received these adorable nude wedge/pumps for my birthday and I absolutely adore them! They look great with anything. I recently wore them with a grey and cream striped jersey dress and it looked so cute! I also wore them with my new favorite citizens of humanity red skinny’s from an earlier post. I like how they are casual but dressy enough for a summer night out. Get them at Nordstrom for $89.0o. Definitely a must-have this season!

Citizens of Humanity ‘Thompson’ Skinny Jeans

Finally the search is over! Thank you but no thank you ZARA for always being out of my size in your $60.00 jeans…I now had to splurge and buy me the perfect red jeans from Citizens of Humanity at $158.00. Ah whatever, I collect jeans (is that good enough justification? hehe). These jeans sit higher on the waist and feel amazing. The color is not a bright red either so it can be worn quite frequently. YA! I like to wear them with casual chuck taylor’s or a fun nude heel for a night out.

Note: When wearing colored denim, keep in mind to keep everything else neutral so nothing clashes or takes away from your cool pants!

Weekly Fuss

Fact: People ask a lot of stupid questions. A question that really bothers me though is the “So…what do you want to do with your life?” after you tell them your current work/school/lifestyle situations. In society, we are taught that to be considered successful, one has to make a lot of money in their career. For that reason, people strive to become doctors or lawyers to not only have a prestige working title but to fulfill the social norm that is expected. Why is it that people measure success with how much schooling you have achieved or how much money you make?

 My personal motto on such matters is to simply do what makes you happy and do not care what others think. I do not care to make a lot of money ( although I understand money is relative)–I  do what I am most passionate about and strive to live a comfortable and happy life (even if that means giving up a fat paycheck). If a person is content with being a salesperson at Macy’s–more power to you! With that said, if your calling is to become a big shot investment banker then go for it! The world needs more of you. I guess the moral of the story is that not everyone’s vision of success is the same and we need to stop putting so much pressure on ourselves. Also, make sure passion is the drive in all your motives–NOT your ego.

You can have all the money in the world…

For the hater: Calm down. It is really cool that you are a law school student at a top-notch law school but do you take the time to enjoy life and see people for who they really are? Or do you strictly prefer to converse about superficial matters like BMW’s and how cute your new toy poodle is? It is also a big possibility that the only reason you chose this route is to make your parents happy. Wake up people.

For the one being hated on: Do not feel threatened by others. Half the time, people are jealous and want to rain on your parade–or simply do not know any better. Feel confident in your life choices and do not think about changing it just to look good in front of your peers.

Ombre Hair

I have never dyed my hair for a couple of reasons:

1. My hair is super damaged–the last thing I want to do is make it worse!

2. I am scared I am going to look fugly.

3. I like my hair color.

BUT I am getting kind of bored and maybe want a change? I love the Ombre hair effect girls are rocking lately. It adds the right amount of color but the look is still natural. Rachel Bilson and Lily Aldridge look great with their Ombre hair!

What is Ombre hair exactly you ask? It is accomplished with creating a dark root and extending a ligther color down to the tips!

It’s insane how she tames
She can turn you to an animal

She don’t want love she just wanna touch
She’s a greedy girl to never get enough
She don’t wanna love she just wanna touch
She’s got all the moves that make you give it up

Sam Edelman ‘KELLAN’ platform

I clearly remember my first pair of Sam Edelman shoes; they were a pair of satin flats with beautiful details. Oh how I loved those flats (even though they would kill my feet). A drastic change from flats–the new KELLAN is so fun! Intricate leather details and ties make this shoe a must have.Check them out soon at Pickett Fences boutique on Larchmont Boulevard for $225.00!

Beth Ditto- I wrote the book Remix

I put you up, I treat you well
Tell you secrets I never tell
We pretend, it’s all ok
But there’s one thing we never say
The world is full of good intentions
Paradise is hard to find
Say they love you but fail to mention
Who they were with again last night
Revenge, regret, I wrote the book
Forgive, forget, I wrote the book
Keeping secrets, I wrote the book on it, don’t test me

Heartbreak and then some, tell me where is a friend when you need one
Before you take a second look, remember I know every trick in the book

It never stops around the clock
When I’m there, you speak so soft
The runaround will wear you out
You break it off, I’ll break you down
The world is full of good intentions
Paradise is full of lies
Tell you they love you but fail to mention
Who they were with again last night
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Cheating, sneaking, I wrote the book
Begging, pleading, I wrote the book
Lying, crying, I wrote the book on it, don’t test me

Heartbreak and then some, tell me where is a friend when you need one
Before you take a second look, remember I know every trick in the book

Heartbreak and then some, tell me where is a friend when you need one
Before you take a second look, remember I know every trick in the book

I wrote the book, I wrote the book, I wrote the book on it, don’t test me
I wrote the book on it, don’t test me now

Benefit ‘Ooh La Lift’ eye brightener

When Benefit products first came out, they were only sold at Macy’s.  A marketing gimmick they frequently used was that they were owned by Louis Vuitton. Hey, it worked for me– I bought their mascara. Since then, I use a lot of their products. My personal favorite is their eye brightener. This little magic stick works perfectly to give your eyes a fresh look. They cover dark circles and make you look awake! For $22.oo, this product is an essential.

LANCOME ‘La Base Pro’ Make-up Primer

Lancome used to have my all time favorite mattifier gel– it got discontinued. Wha! It is okay, they recently came out with this new product that is just as amazing. I have oily skin and therefore my face is very prone to shine mid-day. Who wants that? Especially out on the town at night? Not me. Countless touch ups get frustrating too. This product is oil-free and well worth its $42.oo price tag. Smooth it on before you apply your make up and your face will be matte the whole day. Even if you do not have oily skin, use it to keep your make up in tact for a special occasion. I recommend this product with 5 stars!

Georgia May Jagger designs for Hudson

Not only does Georgia May Jagger (the daughter of Mick Jagger) model for the  jean company, she is now designing for them too. I have become more and more intrigued by Georgia this past month. Her look is so unique and her style is so effortless. Did I mention her perfect figure? oh yes. She designed a Spring/Summer line appropriately called Hudson by Georgia May Jagger and it rocks. The line meets a mix of edgy rock n roll and a twist on the 80s. Think lace up, zippers, high waist, and body hugging pieces. The collection is a tad bit pricey, but a sexy pair of jeans are worth it in my book.  If the jeans do not tickle your fancy, the campaign alone is worth checking out. The video features behind the scene action.

Craig David feat. Remady- Do it on my own

Lately, I see no red only green lights
It took some time but that’s alright
I feel it all come together
I feel alright

And it’s my turn and I’m running out
The day got me feeling alive
It’s my time and I’m ready so,
I’m running out, I gotta go

Yeah I can do it on my own
All that I sacrificed, I don’t need anymore
Yeah I can do it on my own
It don’t matter what you say (say, say, say)

Lately, I been caught out acting crazy
That’s all over, now it’s changing
I’ve worked it out, now it’s alright
I’ve worked it out

It’s my life and I’m telling you
It’s the end of feeling alone
It’s my time and I’m ready so,
I’m running out, I gotta go

Yeah I can do it on my own
All that I sacrificed, I don’t need anymore
Yeah I can do it on my own
It don’t matter what you say (say, say, say) x2

Try to make sense of it all
Breaking up over silly things that you heard
Well I never thought that I would let go
Of this precious thing called love

Wasted it all, wondering where did it go
All I know is that nothings gonna bring back yesterday
We rise and we fall, but now I’m gone
(I can do it on my own)

Yeah I can do it on my own
All that I sacrificed, I don’t need anymore
Yeah I can do it on my own
It don’t matter what you say (say, say, say)

Yeah I can do it on my own (do it on my own girl)
All that I sacrificed, I don’t need anymore
Yeah I can do it on my own
It don’t matter what you say (say, say, say)

I know most of my rants are about working in retail–but for you retail virgins, it is quite the scene! Reality show anyone? (shout out to my Pickett peeps)  New pet peeve scenario:

(customer walks in store…)

Associate: Hello, welcome!

Customer: I am just browsing, no thank you!!!

Associate: uh. okay. that is great. I just said hello….lol

Um..yes. THAT type of incident has happened to the best of us. I completely understand where it comes from sometimes–most customers just automatically think you want to sell them something but common the least you can do is greet back! Not all stores work off of commission and we just want to be nice and welcome you to the store, is that a crime? haha. When this happens to me, I literally say “alright..good for you, just saying hi”. It really bothers me. I have worked retail since I was 17, I know every IN and every OUT, therefore I can complain all I want :)

The perfect High-Waist Flare– Guess Jeans

Guess? is usually a hit or miss for me. I personally do not like the Guess? logo on clothing so I tend to shy away from the brand at times. Today I decided to walk inside the Guess? store on my way to grab coffee. To my surprise, I saw the cutest jeans without any branding! I decided to give them a try and they fit amazing! These jeans will satisfy the flare trend and then some! I have to say, I kind of looked like Kim Kardashian in mine (hehe)  in other words, they give you a great shape!

Weekly Fuss

I hate people who are cheap. Oh, and there is a difference between being cheap and not being able to afford something (let’s make that clear.) I also want to add, I love a good bargain and who does not like to save money? That is not the reasoning behind my weekly fuss. I also want to say, If I have $5.00 left in my bank account, know that I will buy you and myself a bag of Cheetos to share, probably leaving more for you so you are not hungry!  Okay, so why do people have to be penny pinchers? I just do not understand this concept. First of all, we all work none of us are making millions of dollars (yet)- that does not excuse you from being a cheapy!

I cannot stand when I am out to dinner with people and they want to split the bill to the exact dollar. So what if I ate something that cost $3.oo more than what you ate (It is only $3.oo, and now everyone knows you are cheap.) What is worse than being just plain cheap, is being RICH and cheap haha. If you can afford to buy everyone a round of drinks why do you not do it? Trust me, that favor will be returned. Also, if I do not have money for valet, can you just loan me the $5.oo and I will buy you a drink. No big deal.

What is really bad too, is people who do not share their food because THEY bought it. If I want to eat some of your chips, I should not feel guilty! I will buy a bag of chips one day and YOU can eat all of it if you want! Oh, and let us not forget, If I ask you to buy me a bottle of water, do I really need to give you $2.oo? I will buy you a coffee next time.

Rules on where to NOT be cheap under any circumstances:

1. Dates (DO NOT SPLIT THE BILL!)

2. 21st Birthday gifts (Common, they deserve the dom perignon haha)

3. Wedding gifts (These people are only getting married once!)

4. House dinner parties (Let them eat cake!)

5. Inviting others out to dinner (do not have people planning their next meal)

6. Being the designated driver (Do not ask people to pay for your gas)

7. Food ( We do not live in a 3rd world country, we can all afford to eat right)

8. A good Haircut (You will regret otherwise)

Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got!

Alright. I am 5’5 weighing in about 112 pounds. Yes, I am skinny! I wear a size 25 pant, a size XS on top. One of the biggest pet peeves that I have is when people automatically think that I do not eat! OR when I talk too much about food, they think I am trying to convince them or overcompensate for my weight- I hate that pressure.

“You are so skinny! Eat!”

“Ugh can you eat? It isn’t fair that you are that skinny!”

“Do you work out to stay skinny?” etc. etc. etc. You get the idea!

Here it is peeps, I EAT!!! The amount of food I eat, is borderline abnormal. I am always hungry too. I cannot ever say no to food! I love food. I get more excited to eat than anything else (maybe not more than shopping). I love nothing more than to go out to dinner and chow down! It is almost like a hobby. I am probably going to get cholesterol in the near future haha. I mean, I get it if you are jelly(it is pretty amazing how I do not gain much weight). For now, I  say it is to good genes. Wait till I am 25 when all the bad habits catch up to me. Let us talk then.

The Label Whore–

Last week I decided to get a nice blowout. The salon I go to is really nice with the whole 9 yards (coffee,tea,fancy chandeliers etc..) As I was waiting for my stylist, I saw a fashion crime scene! Yup. A label whore! She was wearing Burberry rainboots (mind you, it was NOT raining), J brand jeans (ok I get it), a Gucci logo belt( pain) and a Louis Vuitton winter scarf (kills it for me every time) !!! Oh, and a diamond encrusted Michelle watch and Chanel bag but that is besides the point. I literally laughed out loud to myself and just thought…Why do women think that brand names is what gives you style? First of all, DO NOT mix your designers like that!! If you are wearing Burberry boots, stick to that one monogram! Do not throw a Gucci or a LV in there. Also, the fact that you left the house looking like that sets up a reverse reaction from people. Instead of thinking “Wow that person has great style” they think “Um..Did that person just grab their 4 pieces of Designer wear and wear it all at the same time? Looks desperate and cheap.”
So…again, LESS IS MORE! It does not make you look rich haha.

I made a donation through www.networkforgood.org it was quick, secure, and easy. I suggest everyone to play a part, even the smallest $ amount will make a contribution. Aid Japan!

Adriano Goldschmied AG– My official new favorite jeans brand!

I remember working at Nordstrom circa 2007 and AG got dropped from the company! Why you ask? Well…they had “mom jean” written all over them! Lots has changed, and AG is rockin now!!! The styles, fits, washes etc…are all new and improved with quality. I just bought my 3rd pair from Pickett Fences in Larchmont Village called “the ballad” which is a slim boot cut that I adore! I own jeggings and boyfriend jeans as well. They also work in a very eco-friendly manner which is a plus.

YSL Mascara– Amazing

I was at Nordstrom yesterday, and a good friend of mine suggested I try the YSL ”Luxurious volume effect” mascara. So I did, and I love it! I prefer thick lashes that have a false lash effect and this mascara does the trick! It does not clump one bit either!  I have probably tried every mascara under the sun (because I love lashes) and this one is in my top 3! Try it out ladies!

$30.00 at Nordstrom’s or Sephora and well worth it!
