December MyGlam Makeup Bag! (2011)
Better late than never, right? I signed up for the MyGlam.com monthly beauty subscription service about a month ago and got its inaugural makeup bag early this month. It’s also $10 a month, like Birchbox, started by YouTube beauty star, Michelle Phan. You take a beauty quiz to create a profile that determines the type of products you get. Major love! I honestly feel like I’ve...

Nude York City by NYC New York Color
Today’s post features a new lip gloss I received in my Holiday VoxBox, compliments of Influenster. I’ve been looking for the perfect nude for everyday and days when I wear dramatic eye makeup. I am wearing the NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City. It’s pretty pigmented and the pure pigments give a 3D effect on top of the shine! The non-sticky formula is packed...

Glamour. We all want it once in a while. I recently was invited to get the newest JJ Eyelashes set, the Black Diamond, in their newest location in Soho (41 Wooster Street)! The Black Diamond set offers a more voluminous look at 120-pieces — a step up from the 100-piece Diamond set and the 80-piece Ruby set. The above photo is the end result. My lashes are...

Steal that UK Style!
Why throw hundreds, or even, thousands of your dollars into trendy clothes? If you know your fashion cycles, trends come and go. I rather purchase quality trend items at an affordable price and invest in key pieces and accessories. That’s just how I roll….
So, I have to admit. I was pretty STOKED to shop at Sears, particularly the UK Style by French Connection line. It’s not one...

Confidence.
Putting on a pair of high heels instantly injects me with the feeling of power. That boost of confidence really puts me in the mood to OWN IT. We all have a certain perception of what looks good. When I find and wear these pieces, my mood lifts 110%. I’m sure every one of you have a different style, but can we agree that sequins, lace and fur can instantly add femininity to your everyday...

Photo Diary: Chapter One
I’ve really wanted to start putting together pieces of my memories in a single place — a blog post. So here’s the first chapter of my photo diary.
September. The first photo will date back to September 28, 2011. Our “wood” anniversary. There is a small piece of wood in the yellow bouquet among the roses and sunflowers. Looking at this photo now, I feel like I can...

High Heels High Hopes
I remember when I was little, I used to wear necklaces over my head to play princess. The more charms and dangles on it, the better. Present day, it seems that my old habit hasn’t left. I tried to be slick and put my necklace over my head instead of opening the clasp, like a lazy person, and part of it got stuck like this. Whoa. I dig. Half of this Forever 21 necklace is on my head, and...
