Put Some Glitter On It

There's a current nail polish obsession I'm having right now. And it revolves around glitter, glitter, glitter. Lately I've been painting my nails in a matte color and then painting one nail on each hand with glitter.

Beauty Wishlist

I admit I'm not the type of girl that wears a lot of make up. My everyday makeup consists of: concealer (which I only dab under my eyes, not my entire face), gloss, mascara, and blush. Sometimes I'll add in eyeliner  if I'm not lazy, which is a once a week occurence. I do like buying make up though, even though I only go all out on nights that I'm going clubbing or for a special event. And these are the beauties I've currently been eyeing.

Obsession: Lace, Sequins, and Studs

I've realized something about my shopping behavior when I'm browsing for clothes. This past week I went to the mall. A lot. And every store I entered in, my focus automatically zoomed in on anything that either had sequins, lace, or studs - obviously not all three at once, that would be fashion overload. I have a (sick) obsession with sequins, lace, and studs. Throw a lace dress my way and I'll buy it, even knowing that I have three already that look practically the same. Don't even get me started on sequined shorts or studded heels!

I think all three styles kind of reflect different sides of my style. My style is kind of all over the place. A little bit of a multiple personality disorder of the wardrobe. Sometimes I feel like dressing girly and feminine, hence the lace. There are times that I feel like a diva and just want to glam it up, which is where the sequins come in. And then there are a couple of moments where I just want to be a bit of a rebel and spice up my outfit with something daring...and thats when my studs come in handy!

Of course, everything is good in moderation. I would never wear an overabundance of all three at once. But  while I'm still growing and developing my own style, I've noticed these pieces always make their way into my closet. Maybe I'm just a girly glamazon who sometimes has a tendency to want to be a rockstar? ;)

Stop Right There: W.T.Fur?!

Everyone who knows me well knows that I am in love with Christian Louboutin - with the shoes, not him (even though I would marry him too for being such a fashion genius). I adore Christian Louboutin. I worship Christian Louboutin. Ever since I was a sophomore in high school I made a promise to myself that my first paycheck when I get a REAL job will go towards a beautiful pair of black Louboutin pumps. Who needs to eat for a month? Not me!

So being the shopaholic and fashion obsessed freak that I am, I'm constantly browsing new shoe collections every season. That's when I came across these today:

WTF. Why? Who thought this was a fabulous idea? It reminds me of my cats paw. And as much as I adore my cats, I don't want to look like them. I'm pretty sure this shoe, which is called "Alex" BTW, will be selling like hotcakes nonetheless. Maybe Mr. Louboutin is testing to see just how crazy his loyal fans are? I for one, will pass on these. Meow.

The Beauty Department

Ok, lets get this straight. I was never a fan of Laguna Beach or The Hills. I thought both series were ridiculous and obviously scripted (sorry to all of you who actually thought it was "real"). However, I have to admit that Lauren Conrad, who starred in both shows, knows a lot about fashion and style. Her style is very chic, boho, and girly. She knows how to dress classy and yet still be sexy.

Turns out that besides having her own book series and clothing line she also has her own beauty website. It's called The Beauty Department. Think of it as a useful fashion and make up how-to blog. I'm kind of obsessed with it. Check it out:

Feeling Stylish

Ah, I'm just loving my internship in Brasil this summer. I get to spend time with my family, get some experience in the marketing world, and get to just enjoy being out and about in the city. Malls, obvsiously, are one of the places I tend to visit the most. But this time I didn't just leave the mall with a lot less money in my wallet...no, this week I actually got my picture taken to be on a very well known fashion blog here in Brasil. Feeling pretty stylish (despite the fact that I didn't wash my hair that day!). Check it out!
