Fashion: The Glendale Galleria is getting a clear full body make over this year. Stores like American Eagle have moved out, new stores are moving in, the place is getting spiffy. Nordstrom will be relocating to The Americana in the fall of this year. Three stories of greatness is expected. The odd space which used to be occupied by Mervyn’s will be transformed into a beautiful Bloomingdales projected by the Glendale Galleria. The Grove is experiencing a mini face lift as well. A bigger Barney’s I heard. Caruso is just going to work isn’t he.

Beauty: Sachauan Oil Treatment is a new product I am using for my dull looking hair. It can be used as a styling boost or a leave-in conditioner. The price tag is tad hefty but a little goes a long way.

Lifestyle: Flywheel Spinning Studios has come to Los Angeles. Arch enemy of Soul Cycle has two new locations in West Hollywood and Larchmont Village.

Fashion: I have asked myself this question a million times too! How to pronounce ASOS:

How To Pronounce ASOS

Kitson has opened up a new outlet space at the Camarillo Outlets. If only it was 2008 again.

Beauty: I have done it. The world will have softer hands due to this amazing product from Archipelago Botanicals. I hate hand cream. I hate the way it makes my hands greasy and cannot stand smelling like flowers or chocolate for that matter. The “Soy Creme Milk No/3″ is probably the best hand creme I have used in my life. That is a bold statement readers. It truly keeps your hands moisturized through numerous hand washings and smells delightful. Find it at your local beauty supply store.

Justin Timberlake- Don’t Hold The Wall

luxe-fix-loves-musicMusic: Oh Justin, I admire your comeback. Not so much your choice in women but you can’t be perfect. This song is a classic JT song in my opinion. It features Timberland, has a sexy beat, and an edgy Justin take. Nice change from the rest of the album.

Artist: Justin Timberlake

Song: Don’t Hold The Wall

Drake- 5 AM In Toronto

luxe-fix-loves-musicMusic: Drake is one of my favorite lyricists. I know people have mixed feelings about him but in my eyes, he is really talented.

It’s all about that Drake featuring Drake.

Fashion: I am all about that Black and White right now. I just bought a Marciano Jacquard number with black and white details throughout. Before the fashion police come to attack me, Marciano is a hidden gem when it comes to dressier basics like high waist shorts, cigarette pants, and layering tank tops.

Beauty: There was a period (2 weeks ago) where I wanted to get lip injections. I know, I know, I am sorry. I soon realized the lip gloss from Benefit called “Sexy Motherpucker” works wonders! It stings a little but so worth it.

Music: Rihanna- Love Song ft. Future

Random: I have chocolate muffins at home. What is it about buying one from a coffee shop that makes it so special? I am sick in the head.

Fuel Fandango- Hype

I see the Sun above us
It’s hotter than before
The sweetest sound
From your guitar
Makes me smile
I see the stars on your face (lerelere)

Down the Sun
The lights are in your eyes
Down the Sun
The lights are in your eyes, are here

But when the night began
Your face started to change
Became in something strange (lerelere)
But when the night began
Your face started to change (lerelere)

You appear in the night
Like a cruel monster
Who’s gonna save me, save me, me

The lights are in your eyes
Down the Sun
The lights are in your eyes, are here
Down the Sun
The lights are in your eyes
Down the Sun
The lights are in your eyes, are here

But when the night began
Your face started to change
Start to change, start to change

Lyrics: Maxi Lyrics

Mark Farina- Dream Machine

what are you thinking of
what are you doing
what do you think you can do
what you are
what you do
looking out at
ripples on the dance floor
what do you mean
is what you get
did you forget to know
what the end is
to begin
clearing
looking out
at ripples on the dance floor

dream machine
did you get
everything you asked for
dream machine
rattlesnake
a charm on the dance floor

love’s rage
broken page
electric lights
and glass bone nights
electric lines run
through your minds
distractions with radio contraptions
night glasses
pipe ashes
tick tock
hear the wind lick
the window
ignited
you’re invited
grow wings
sprouting from the backbone

dream machine
mister jones
you don’t know what you came for
dream machine
rattlesnake
a charm on the dance floor

we are like those two
mirrors
steaming in the rain
we are those two
lovers
holding each other’s hands
dream
with me
rattlesnake
a charm on the dance floor

Beauty Tippin: If the consistency of sunscreen bothers you, use a mineral based sunblock that applies just like powder.

Fashion Tippin: I think we can all retire our boyfriend jeans.

Lifestyle Tippin: Make a conscious effort to stop talking about other people.

Song of the week: Adele- Skyfall

Random: Wearing everything in your jewelry box and calling it an “arm party” is kind of annoying. There is an art to that too.
