I Hate Valentines Day

Not really ;) But this post is in honor of all my friends who could care less about the "holiday of looooove" I came up with an anti love ensemble that I have rather fallen for haha.

I started off with the green dress (1). I considered black but I felt this lovely wicked green really encapsulates the evil queen vibe I was going for. I added in a basic black clasp style handbag  (2) and mirrored the silver bow on the bag with the Silver bowed headband (4) because even if you hate love you like to look cute ;) The Iron fist booties have a slight witchy feel that I just loved and a spiked heel perfect for walking over broken hearts. Top it all off with minimal jewelry, a hand stamped Heart with the perfect sentiments displayed for all to see. All in all a very wicked and fun outfit that I would love to be seen sporting around town. Hope you enjoyed it and hope it inspires.

I love Valentine's Day

I Love Love
Actually I don't really care much about it one way or another. I love the idea of a day devoted to getting dressed up and going out and being fancy.....and of course presents. Honestly who doesn't love presents? On the other hand though I am a bit uncomfortable when the spotlight is on me, I always feel a bit uncomfortable on my birthday when all eyes are on me and Valentines day has a similar feel though on a much more one on one level. Be that as it may I still like the sentiment behind the holiday. This year we will not be doing anything extravagant as we are saving up for the arrival of the new family member in only 2 1/2 very short months. That didn't stop me from putting together my ideal outfit for going out on the town and of course what is the good of a fabulous outfit if you don't share it. I made sure to save all the links as well so that if some lucky lady would like to buy these fun items she can.

1.Pretty Marilyn style dress in a fun classy red
2.What better way to celibrate the day than to wear love around your neck
3.Sky high champagne heels with glittering jewels adorning the toes
4 , 5 , 6 : Ladylike undies from Lucy B (Click the numbers for the links)
7.  A leopard print bag adds an animalistic touch ;)
8. Top it all off with a BIG statement making rose in your hair

Well thats what I would dream of wearing out on a Valentines date. Or any special date for that matter. Tomorrow I am thinking of making the anti V-day ensemble. The I Hate Love outfit :) Because we have all been there too.

Makeup Essentials

Well it's that time of year again. The wonderful world of tax returns. Which means that I have some money to spend!!!! Now My first priority is to buy some furniture for my apartment. I am in desperate need of shelves and book cases. But I also feel I deserve to buy something that is just for me. So I have decided to replenish my sad sad makeup kit. I headed on over to youtube and checked out my favorite gurus videos on the subject. Lisafreemontstreet is by far my favorite person to go to for beauty advice. I have made my list and now I am armed with an idea of what I want. I shall be heading over to Ulta as soon as that pretty pretty check hits my bank YAY!!!!! I will be sure to post details on all my purchases as soon as I get em :)



Now if only I could manage to get my hospital bag packed and ready to go. *sigh* that's next on the list....the endless list, of things to do.
