Katy Perry

It seems that most of my closest friends are anti Katy Perry and I can't figure out why. Shes adorable. She is like the kid sister to Dita Von Teese. She has the catchiest songs and fun, kitschy costumes. I will bet money on the fact that everyone has gotten "Teenage Dream" stuck in their head at least once.

I was absolutely obsessed with Katy's makeup from the VH1 Divas special and chose to recreate the look. Check it out here!

Golden Globes 2011

The 2011 Golden Globes can best be described as awkward, what with Christian Bales run on acceptance speech and Ricky Gervais' jabs at celebs while they are down. Luckily, the stars outshined the funky vibe.

My faves for best dressed:

Whether you are Team Angie or Team Jen, this Atelier Versace outshone the Emerald City.

January Jones, you get two snaps and a twist for working the Versace!! Reason #1000 that I need to exercise:)

Does Anne Hathaway ever look bad??!I mean ever??!? Gorgeous Armani Prive

Marchesa is my absolute favorite for fairytale gowns. Olivia Wilde did not disappoint while donning one of their frocks. My favorite look of the evening. Stunning.


So,so very excited for the Oscars!!!

Big Mouth!!

Confession, I am so OVER winter weather!! I want warm sunshine on my arms, sundresses that make getting dolled up easy peasey, gorgeous sandals to show off amazingly bright pedicures and minimal makeup that makes a huge statement.

The first day of Spring is March 20th, until then I will trudge through the Winter armed with an arsenal of   BRIGHT lip colors in shades of red, coral, fuschia, orange and magenta. 


Perhaps it is strange that my Muse's for a bright lip were all at one point engaged or married to Marilyn Manson. Clearly, Marilyn has a beautiful type. They rock a bright lip like no other.


Evan Rachel Wood. Ever since she was tied into True Blood, I have wanted to steal Queen Sophie Annes lipstick..and her wardrobe.

Dita Von Teese. Dita is a family icon of sorts. My lil sis mimics her hair styles and style, while I attempt to control my Makeup Artist tendencies to wear everything in the kit and scale it back. Dita is all about black liquid liner, blusher and most importantly her red lipstick. Minimal, but HUGE impact.

Rose McGowan. Beautiful Rose! I have been envious of her alabaster skin and ability to wear bright lip color with ease since she starred in the movie "Jawbreaker." She easily wears a magenta lip color as though it was a classic, everyday nude.

The best way to rock a bright lip??Minimal makeup elsewhere!!Black liquid liner winged out, gobs of black mascara, a touch of sheer blush, and of course your lipcolor of choice with a coordinating lip pencil.

My favorite bright lipcolors? MAC cosmetics Lickable(gorgeous magenta), Revlon colorburst in Coral, MAC cosmetics Viva Glam Gaga (a bright in your 
face pink) and Nars Velvet Matte lipcolor in Cruella (a fierce red.)


Other Muse's for inspiration: Gwen Steffani, Rihanna, Katy Perry,Christina Aguilera

Je t'aime!!!

Je t'aime is a word I picked up long ago during a shopping trip in Georgetown with my very dear friend Jen. We walked past Urban Outfitters on our trek out of the shopping mecca and noticed a shirt in the window that was black and simply said "Je t'aime." Jen informed me that "je t'aime" means "love" in French. On that day, I fell in love with that word and have used it ever since.

Despite not sounding so in love or looking twitterpated due to the longest lasting stuffed nose and sore throat, my newest video shows the items that made me squeal "Je' taime" in the month of December...

Perhaps one day I will be brave enough to say it in a video:)

Je t'aime
