Best product out there

Do you want your skin to look as glowing as hers?



Well, then let me tell you about the little piece of magic I discovered while browsing at Saks.

The Dior highlighting face powder aka "the mystery behind Edward Cullen's diamond like shine".
From the color, to the smell, to the packaging you can tell this product was made with only one thing in mind.. giving women that celeb-like luster.
The powder is $ 55 dollars and part of Dior's spring 2010 Dentelle make-up collection. Which is a lace 1920’s inspired line.
Isn't this a nice little way to take on the lingerie lace trend that is all over the catwalk? Plus a cute little addition to your make-up bag?

Think about it ladies... it is a limited edition!

pretty in pink at the Golden Globes

Perhaps the best dresses of the night were the ones worn by Emily Blunt and the precious "Chanel girl" Diane Kruger.
Kruger was wearing a  delightful pink Christian Laxroix, and although some websites have placed her as one of the worst dressed, I really like this look. This dress has character, stands out, and doesn't look like your typical "you are boring me to death" red carpet gown.
Moving on to Miss Emily Blunt, which is not a stranger to the best dressed lists. Does she ever go wrong? The softness of her  Dolce & Gabbana dress, and makeup are incredibly chic. Perfect compliment to her subtle yet hard to miss accessories.








What do you guys think?

Things I am currently craving..

Aside from chocolate...(which I cannot eat because bathing suit season is around the corner)
Hot pants a' la lady Gaga..
These are going to be big huge in oh' 10, and many designers have included them in their shows, take Sophia Kokosalaki for example.
My outlook on this is that if worn with a blazer or a loose top these can look quite adorable...
Always pair them with heels to elongate your figure.
And if you don't want to bare it all wear them with tights..
My favorite are the black moschino's $ 450 in net-a-porter or the red ones from American Apparel $22.

but I wonder..

Aside from celebs how many of us are willing to put our booties on display?


hot pants

For the love of sandals

Designers.. you are killing me here!!
The year has barely started and I am already making a list of the spring shoes I want  need to own.
Everybody seems to be on their A game lately.
Here are my top 3 choices and the peculiar names I chose for each.


eye candy


1. The Disco stick (n): Christian Louboutin shoes perfect for a club night out. Head-turners. Part of the spring/summer 2010 collection. Really high heels
Synonyms- hot, bright, and fabulous
Sentence- "I sure want to take a ride in these"! 


2. Miss Fierce (n): Christian Louboutin shoes worn only by those who are not afraid of showing off, and carry themselves with confidence. What the Na'vi girls from Avatar would have worn if I would have directed the movie. Attention grabbers.
Synonyms- exotic piece of art, tribal meets gladiator, ferocious
Sentence- Naomi has nothing on your Miss Fierce.


3. The Editor (n) - Yves Saint Laurent shoes highly demanded in the fashion industry. Just like the classic black YSL's tribute sandals but with a summer feel. Must have item if you want to be the next Andrea Sachs.
Synonyms- Olivia Palermo, fashionista, comfort meets New York, social must have
Sentence- A million girls would kill for this job.. and for your shoes.


and there you have it! Definition and all.

"the" military jacket

I have been looking for "the" military inspired leather jacket for ages, and I finally found my perfect fit (at the most unlikely store).
I am not a fan of Bebe's clothing/quality/style but for some reason I fell in love with this leather jacket...
and at $229, I think it fell in love with me back, because its arriving home tomorrow.



Now I just need to pair it with the perfect YSL's (sights).
Will my obsession ever end?

Survival basic for spring 2010



It's all about the nautical trend this spring season & I am loving every minute of it! Designers seem to be stripe crazy!
Don't know how to do the sailor look without looking like you are about to head out to a Halloween party?
Don't worry.. I have put together a collage to help you ease into this trend.
First and foremost ACCESSORIES, yes ladies that is the secret!
You can try this beautiful Chanel bangle for just a mere $ 1,625 at selected Chanel stores (way too much right now uncle Karl, but worth saving for) or what about the LV ones at $565 each?
Not wanting to spend a fortune? Try these simple wheel post earrings from Urban outfitters for just $12 or nautical charm earrings from Top shop for $ 12.
You can also add a twilly to almost everything ponytail, neck, bags.. just keep it under the same blue-red color theme..
and speaking of bags.. If you keep your clothing subtle why not try a bright red one!
I am obsessed with the for-now-unatainnable Birkin di Hermes and this vintage quilted Chanel only for $895.00
So accessories, Check.. now moving on to clothing..Try anything stripe a' la Coco Chanel (not altogether please)





 A stripe dress or skirt (the See by Chloe ones I picked are adorable) or a cardi (my next Top shop purchase $50).


Now (my favorite part) the shoes. Which are supposed to be under accessories, but are a whole new category for me.
The drool worthy YSL Hampton sandals don't have that name for no reason.
I think of hot, party, bubbly, celebrity-filled ,summer word combinations when I see them



For the flat lovers a red stripe ballerina pump..only $24 at missselfridge.com.
Now a weird fact.. Jessica Simpson can actually manage to make decent looking shoes (I can't bring myself to say pretty) but these wedges are not half bad.. not half bad at all




still not sure... check out Palermo's take on the issue




You have read it & seen it.. now it's time to stimulate the economy!
