Freedom and Fashion Show

Sorry! I haven't been able to update lately. It has been super hectic at work! I just wanted to do a quick update on the Freedom and Fashion Show in Irvine on November 6, 2010! It's a fashion show with a cause!! The event is non-profit with all proceeds going towards the elimination of labor and sex trafficking. But when you sign up, the event allows you the option of selecting other charities. My good friend is a volunteer for the event and I'm totally coming out to support! I got my VIP ticket for only $30! And it not only covers premier seating, but gives you access to fashion workshops and snags you some awesome goodies! So get your ticket while it's still available!

Even more fabulous news, one of my idols, Jeannie Mai from Style Network's How Do I Look? will be hosting the event. For more information, check out their official Freedom and Fashion website.

NYX Make up Sale!!!!

Hey Guys,

There's a huge sale on NYX make up going on this week at Hautelook.  I got uber excited, so I stocked up on tons of make up and a brush set :)  Too bad I had already bought the makeup tool belt awhile back at full price...bummers...

But I still can't wait for my new load to come in!!! If you want to take a look at the sale, check it out here.

The site is also having a sale on RapidLash Mascaras, Lorac make up (ending soon), Michael Kors Clothes, and much more! :)

Trend Obsession this Fall

I hate this awkward transition from warmer weathers to cold.  And the clothes in every retail store right now is sporting fall/winter wear that is still way too warm for me!  I'm also torn between avoiding my overly bright floral dresses and short shorts.  So what's a girl to do?  Well, one trend that I'm obsessed about that can keep me warm now that the weather is slowly starting to cool, but doesn't make me all sweaty and gross (haha) is Dolman sleeves.  I've also gained a tad bit of weight now that the season is slowly starting to cool...(I know, I'm like a freakin hibernating bear...I gain weight every time the weather gets colder...hehe)...but with the loose fitted and flowy Dolman sleeve, I'm able to show a hint of skin (the collarbone;shoulder) without looking too summer if ya know what I mean. ;P

Project Subway Fashion Show

So I'm pretty huge fan of eating and what better way to incorporate my two favorite things in life:  eating and fashion than to have a foodie fashion show!  Although it's not as shocking as the infamous Lady Gaga Meat Dress, the Subway restaurant chain recently hosted a Chicago fashion show to show off its eco-friendly practices. Elsa Hiltner was the designer mastermind behind the show.  She created eight gorgeous dresses to show off Subway’s rendition of going green.

Elsa Hiltner used all Subway products/materials to create her dresses and accessories. Everything from soup cups to cookie bags got the ‘Project Subway’ treatment. Subway has been working to become much more eco-friendly by launching eight eco-stores, using napkins made out of 100% recycled fiber and installing low-flow faucets at its stores.

"Subway continues to show that you can eat fresh, be sustainable, and look great!" said one executive sandwich artist.

Nail Design Experiment

By no means am I a licensed manicurist....but sometimes I like to DIY my own funky nail designs and looks.  This is the nail look I'm currently rocking.  I just used NYX Nail Polish in Second Skin, NYX Nail Polish in Prismatic Gold along the tips of my nails to create a sort of gradient look, and LA Colors Style & Art 3D Nail Stickers.  What do ya'll think? :P
