Hairstyles QR9

One of my favorite color combos lately are gold and burgundy for the eyes. Especially with light eyes. I wore this look, but darker and more intense, for a party I attended a few nights ago, however the pictures didn't quite come out right. So I decided to create the look again, but light so it would still be appropriate for me to go to work. So here was yesterdays mask.

I will not lie. I have a small girl crush on Olivia Wilde. If my brushes could get their bristles on that face... oh the things that I could do! But really... her face is AMAZING for make-up, as you can see that other artists have benefited from. I actually used her layout from the December 2010 issue of Instyle as my inspiration for the South by Southwest portion of the photoshoot I did for the Two Point Oh LA Spring 2011 Lookbook (last seen  here  and  here ). And then I saw her on the cover of Cosmo this month, and decided I needed to do a post on her make-up (though its probably more just her face I'm obsessing over). So here is my ode to her, her face, and her make-up. Photos via Instyle.com, Cosmopolitan.com and other misc. sites via google This last picture is ridiculously gorgeous! MAC Viva Glam or Chanel Lover would be good to create that lip. God...... can I come back as her in my next life? Pretty please?  Sigh. A girl can dream. Stay Tuned! XOXO...

Here is another segment I did with  Sydne Summer  and the Style Network. Here she took a collared shirt dress from the office to a night out on the town! How great is Sydne's top by the way!!!!!

For the second leg of my excursion, I ventured to the always fabulous New York! Sadly there are no real outfit or make-up posts. It was chilly and I basically lived in the same "uniform" everyday. Where most people bring their "cutest outfits", I am the COMPLETE opposite. I HATE packing and I try to bring as little as possible. I just don't trust checking baggage. Call me strange. I'm just always terrified they will loose my precious gems, so I try to carry on if at all possible. Since I had been to NY before, and got most of the site seeing out of the way, I was able to just enjoy NY and walk around and enjoy the city and partook in some window shopping. I was most excited to go just so I could see, and hopefully shop, in Topshop! But I have to say, I was actually disappointed (covering my head as the stoning begins).  Perhaps my expectations were just too high? But I know I see such amazing things on other celebrities and bloggers from there (mostly from E...

I started my week excursion in Washington DC. AMAZING! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was definitely my favorite part of the trip! The city itself is just beautiful. And the architecture was a site to see. I do have to say everyone (especially if you LIVE in the US) needs to make the treck out there! It would be a shame to never see it. It is so rich with history, between the museums, monuments and historical sites, it can give you goose bumps! And Georgetown!! Ugh! I want to live there! Its so adorably cute!!!! All the brick and cobblestone. I felt like I was in Disneyland... but in a non theme park touristy way. And the shopping was divine! Not that I got to partake in it this trip.... but for the future, now I know. First stop was the Natural History Museum. I LOVE dinosaurs! So my one request was that I see the dinosaur bones. Stegosaurus is my favorite. Next was all the monuments. Washington monument, Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam and World War II Memorial, and...
