Laura Mercier hydratint spf 15 colored lip balm is my new favorite lip balm. It gives me just enough color to look like I put effort into my makeup, all the while adding moisture to my lips. If you hate lipstick you will love this product.
 Laura Mercier $20
 These colors produce a subtle sheen of color, to make this a real cross between lip balm and a sheer lipstick
I first bought the rose tint color and against my tan skin the pink was almost to light. Than I bought the plum tint color and pair it with a nude lipliner for a more lipstick-y feel. If these lip balms weren’t $20 bucks a pop I would likely buy more colors. I have tried other tinted chap sticks and this product by far is my favorite.

Colored hair has taken over the younger celebrity circuit in all colors and lengths. From dipped dyed to all over: crazy colored hair is in full affect.
 Lauren Conrad
 Dakota Fanning
 James King
 Katy Perry goes purple
 Kate Bosworth
 Kelly Osbourne
All these lady’s are under the age of 30 (minus James King). How lovely it must be to have a job where you can color your hair any color you want, and not have to worry how others might perceive you. I don’t mean to be a hater, there once was a time when I too had purple dipped dyed hair. If you are loving this trend and want colored dipped dyed hair I would suggest hair extensions. Hair Extensions will keep the vibrant color and you won’t have to worry about the damage the bleach will cause. If you decide to go the bleaching route here are a couple of things to think about: Read the rest of this entry »

There is so much hype around this book. I first heard about 50 Shades of Grey about a month ago on a talk show, and while having lunch with my girlfriend she made me promise to buy this book. I literally busted out my iPad and bought it right then and there. I have just finished reading the book and here is what I liked and didn’t like.
PRO’S
* Your sex life will improve- They are calling this book “mommy porn” and it’s true. With super explicit sex scene’s I personally was in shock.
* You will appricate you partner (the lead male character has some serious personal issues)
* Easy Read
* It is set in 2011 and I could relate to texting and emailing
CON’S
* The author does a lot of repeating phrases and it gets annoying
* Anna the lead character subconscious that she calls her “inner goddess” is always talking, and I personally didn’t want to hear what she was saying
* It’s not written very well, if I am finding grammar mistakes there is a big problem
* having 3 orgasm’s in a hour sex session seemed impossible (especially since it was like the third time she’ed ever had sex)
The ending of this book is a total cliff hanger, and leaves you feeling emtpy and unsatisfied. So unsatisfied you have to read the second book. I opted to download a sample of the second book where the characters ended in a way that left me feeling warm and fuzzy. I cheated and read the reviews for the second and third book to know how the story ended. Sony just bought the movie rights for $5 million dollars, so it will be offically hitting the big screen.

I am just now getting into summer hats. Besides being fashionable they help keep the sun out of your face. Plus you can get away with not washing your hair. The key to a great summer hat is that it actually fits and is snug on your head. So if there was a slight breeze of the wind your hat would not fly away. Also the wider the brim the more your eyes are protected. Here are some of my favorites. Visor’s are popping up everywhere…. and I love them

Goorin Bros. “wild cat” $50.00
 Nordstrom Wide Brim Visor $28.00

Bebe “floppy chain straw hat” $29.00
 Anthropologie, Crimson-Peaked Fedora $218
 Satya Twena, Visor -Packable $248.00

 www.dianiboutique.com, Eugenia Kim Cassidy hat $300
If you have a small head (like myself) try Jcrew, in the winter time there fedoras actually fit my little head. Also try the kids section, just beware in the kids section they have lots of options but they tend to look cheap.

The costume design was incredible. I left the theater in awe. I was blown away with how much I enjoyed this kids movie. The story line, the language, the makeup, the costumes (except the shoes). It was a modern version of Snow White, and when I say modern I mean modern. The
dwarfs were still dwarfs but with “modern” technology. The movie ended with a bollywood musical number. I would see it again, and I rarely see movies twice.
 they don't really look like dwarfs, do they?
Eiko Ishioka was the costume designer and this was her final work before passing away in January.

The wardrobe and makeup department were amazing in this film. The makeup designer was Felicity Bowring.








You have to go see it. It costed more than $85 million to make, and you will leave theater smiling.

Peeps are one of my favorite parts about Easter. The pink and yellow ones taste the best!

 center piece style
 wreath peeps

 Peeps as pop art
 wearable peeps
As much as I love eating Peeps, they are like Krispy Kreme donuts, you can’t have just one bite.

These nutritional facts are more for me, than you. I like the idea as using them for art verses as food, because once I get ahold of Peeps, I can’t stop eating them.

So inspired by Selena Glomez at the Kids Choice Awards with her crop top. She looked very tasteful, in Dolce & Gabbana.

Crop tops were all over the runway, but how does that translat to your summer wardrobe? Well I say go high waisted. Below are pictures from designers who showed the crop top with high waisted skirts. There were crop tops all over the place but I was turned off with all the belly-button action. Maybe I am just a hater because I don’t feel comfortable showing all my belly outside of the beach. I think high waisted is sexy and classy at the same time. As I get older wearing “age appropriate” clothing has a whole new meaning in my thirties verses my twenties…Just saying
 Band of Outsiders
 Emilio Pucci
 Mark Fast, spring 2012 ready-to-wear
Since I am all about the crop top that makes me all about the high waisted short, pants and skirts this summer season. I am into the tight/ bra looking crop top verses a t-shirt crop top (because the t-shirt can easily flip up). The crop top should come right above the ribs, so you have room to show a little skin with you high-waisted bottom. Also think about bra options with this top, you have to feel comfortable when wearing it (seeing bra straps is not a good option). Below are some of my favorites for under $50 bucks.
 Free People, mixed print ruffle crop top $48.00
 Topshop, NEOPRENE CROP BRALET $32.00
 ASOS, Bra Top With Jacquard $50.13 (plus free shipping)
 Miss Selfridge, animal bra top $28.00 (free shipping)
HIgh Waisted Goodness
 Urban Outfitters, Cooperative High-Rise Jean short $49.00
 Victoria's Secret, Stella Wide-leg pant $69.50
 DV by Dolce Vita, Clove Short $77.00

I just got the new iPad 3, and I am all about it. I have had an iPhone for ever and my favorite apps are intsagram (VegasSugar is my screen name), words with friends (vegassugar if you want to start a game), and of course flash-sale websites. But with the iPad, I can watch my favorite t-shows on the treadmill, look at what I am going to make for dinner (I am loving My salad recipes and Go Vegan) while I wait in the car-line for my daughter to get out of school. Ok, so I might be a late bloomer for tech-ie type stuff. But since my iPad keeps me so entertained I like having it on me all the times, hence purses that nicely fit the iPad.
 DVF, Harper Connect Leather Bag $695.00

The ipad measurements
• Height:9.56 inches (242.8 mm)
• Width:7.47 inches (189.7 mm)
• Depth:0.5 inch (13.4 mm)
 Jcrew, EDIE ATTACHÉ BAG $288.00
 Marc Jacobs, Quilted iPad Case $495.00
 Reveal, CiCi iPad Cross Body $78.00
Do you have a favorite iPad app? If so let me know….. thanks
