the most amazing betsey johnson dress ever!

School is out! This dress is just so summer. I absolutely adore this dress.. it has this whole Alice in Wonderland gone bad vibe. It would look perfect with studded Burberry heels and a chunky bangle or headband.

obsession with ISSA!

It's official! I have a new favorite designer... Issa. I'm just absolutely crazy over their Fall 2009 collection. The clothes are gret, but what really got me going crazy were those adorable "mop" like clutches as I've been calling them. Chanel Iman looks fabulous!! I mean, you just have to adore these pictures! Make sure tocheck out the full collection. =)

how to make your own make-up!

*some of my beauty style inspirations [ashley tisdale, brenda song, coco rocha, jane aldridge, scarlett johansson, taylor momsen, hilary duff]

Here's a few cool tips on how to make new make-up ith things you already have in your make-up bag. I thought this was kinda cool so I thought I'd shre it with you guys, even though I don't usually cover make-up on my blog. =) (and yes, this is a repost from another blog of mine)

Eye shimmer + Vaseline= Cream Shadow

Eye shimmer is often very messy and powdery. Make it stick with some Vaseline. This gives you less of a crease, and more of a defined look.

Powder blush + Vaseline= Lipgloss

If your blush shade is flattering, it should be a flattering gloss shade too.

Body glitter + Body cream= Moisturizing Body Glitter

Put your body glitter and body cream on at the same time by mixing them together!

Dark foundation + Face cream= Light Foundation

Summer tan starting to fade? Your foundation not doing the same justice it did two seasons ago? Mix it with your face cream! It'll match your skin tone better AND it'll keep your skin hyrdrated during the cold months.
