Juicy Couture "Dreaming In Color" Starter Bracelet in Pink at ...

About 5/6 years ago, the Juicy Couture charm bracelets took over! They were only $25 back then, and were just so shiny and girly- you couldn't resist picking one up from your local store! Now Juicy has taken over and I'm not mad at all! The young girls behind it have built themselves an empire! I'm sure their feature on Oprah did nothing but BOOST their sales!

Juicy still maintains its affordability, while staying a step ahead by releasing new looks each season for their jewelry line! Not to mention their bags and sweat suits  that are perfect for travel!

Now their charm bracelets have a brand new look, which is perfect for all girls who LOVE to over or under accessorize! Juicy Couture accessories are now in living color! This collection is called "Dreaming In Color" ... I just tried to order the red from Nordstrom's and it was sold OUT! I suggest getting it while the getting is good! SO adorably simple and chic!

Burr's Online Make Up tutorials!

One day, while browsing the Internet, I came across Tanya Burr's online make up tutorials available on YouTube! She shows you literally everything to achieve 'celebrity looks' ... I recommend mixing and matching her tips to create your own unique look! Once I saw one video, I couldn't stop watching, I looked at video, after video, after video!

As women, we LOVE to dress up and look nice, however, in most cases we're not 100% sure how to achieve or perfect an overall face! Whether this be concealer, eye liner, mascara, etc! Ms. Burr shows it all! She even shows a before and after clip at the end!

One of my favorites is the Beyonce clip of course! She did Bey's look from her "Why Don't You Love Me" video! And its completely step by step! She shows you each product and explains thoroughly!

I've included some here, but feel free to browse more on your own! Visit YouTube.com and search "Tanya Burr Make Up Tutorials" 







In the Beyonce tutorial she describes a Clinique mascara guide thats deisgned to guide you to which mascara to use based on your make up look! I of course found my own Sephora version that I LOVE! As usual, you can visit the Sephora website, but I recommend visiting the store! That way you can have make up applied to you directly and you'll see first hand which to use for different occasions!


All About RiRi!

Okay, I'm in LOVE with Rihanna these days! Her music is FIRE! She pretty much touches on all things us girls go through [or think about lol] and puts it to a funky, catchy song! Janet Jackson once did this in r&b, but to hear it in pop has been quite the experience! Her music brings cultures together, which is not only good for her pockets, but good for listeners as well! I see more often R&B artists dabbling the the pop music pot! As well as pop artists doing ballards! Umbrella broke the mold of traditional r&b, and for/ to is when she turned into a pop artist!

 

"You Da One" has been on constant repeat in my mind, and "What's My Name" and "Rude Boy" have been my favorites these past two summers!

Rihanna is catching more buzz from tweeting a picture of her in a bathing suit [seen here] while she was on vacation in Hawaii! The bathing suit is just as much of a sensation as she! It was then I remembered about 2 weeks ago, I saw Rihanna in another banging bikini [the top was see thru] while she was vacationing in Barbados... I then realized she has LOTS of HOT bikini pieces!


So not only is she the new 'Sexiest Women Alive' according to Esquire magazine, she has the pictures to back it up! She also recently broke a record, and beat out MADONNA for having the most digital downloads! 47.5 MILLION!!! That's sooooo MAJOR! She's only 23 years old! I love it!


























ALSO!! Check out the "You Da One" video!!! LOVE it!!

So MIA

Hello Everyone!!!!


I feel horrible that just as I kick off the New Year I become neglectful of my bloggy blog!


It's not my fault though! Of course after the new year, literally EVERYONE returns to work and everything kicks in to high gear! Which is exactly what happened! I was in work overload! Nonetheless, I've made a vow to never let this happen again!


My MUA [cousin/ sister/ roomie/ best friend] is actually coming on board too! I LOVE it! She's full of so much knowledge! Not just of make up [in which she's pretty much on the verge of genius!], but of the craft of beauty itself! We make a great team if I do say so myself! So be on the look out!


... She's just waiting for a blog tutorial LOL!

Violent Lips!

Now even your lips can be 'tatted up' with the Violent Lips lip tattoos!! I LOVE them! I saw these a while ago and always wanted to try them, but kept forgetting to pick them up when I went to the mall! These are PERFECT for photo shoots, birthdays, or if you just want to have fun! All my make up guru's will SO adore these!! So many colors and flavors to chose from, you can always play make up! I found mine at Sephora, my one stop everything beauty shop! But you can also check out their website at: http://www.violentlips.com


 

Of COURSE my Kimmy would try it!!

 


I was too nervous to try all the vibrant colors, so I took it very easy and simple with the gold! I definitely want to try the others just for fun next time! They're super easy to put on and take off! Once I get it down packed, I'll probably throw a party just so I can try it on all of my friends!!

Gisele is BACK!

Not that she ever left, but she is making way yet again! KILLING effortlessly in this shoot for Salvatore Ferragamo!! In 2011, she was listed by Forbes as the highest paid model, bringing in a whopping 45 million dollars! This has been a trend for her since 2007! Modeling definitely isn't easy! I struggle taking pictures of myself, let alone when someone else is taking a picture of me!

Gisele and husband, NFL star Tom Brady were named the highest paid celebrity couple in 2011 with combined income toppling 76 million dollars! They beat out both Beyonce and Jay Z, as well as 'Brangelina'!! Amazing!! I love it! When I hear these stories, I'm completely in awe! People that are so driven, are so inspiring! Their results are a direct result from their drive because nothing in this world is easy!


 



Okay! So I went a little overboard! Here's a little more Gisele!! ...


 

 

Sydney Evans Jewlery

Rosanne Karmes, creator of the Sydney Evans jewelry line can rest assured that she has made her mark! Not only has she successfully made her way to the best boutiques worldwide, her jewels can be found on nearly every celeb hand everywhere! Why you ask!? These diamond charms are amazing and while they are a bit pricey, they're worth the investment. I don't have any of my own, but I'm definitely debating this ring one day! 
  


Go IRO!

Since sequins have come so heavy on the scene, I haven't dabbled too much in them, mainly because I hate being overly trendy, HOWEVER! These jackets by IRO had me at HELLO! They're SO hot, yet chic, you can totally wear them with everything! You can dress them up or down, its the perfect mix of trend, edge, and class! I completely see these with a Kim K vibe of the loose top and fitted jean, finished off with a knee boot! Or even a fun pump! Or for dressing down, same top with leggings and an over the knee boot! What do you think?!
