Sea of Sunglasses

Ladies,

I am proud  to report we have made it through another brutal Winter. Now that the season of chapped lips, pale skin, and gray skies is almost at an official end, I've begun my Spring cleaning. Today marks the beginning of the time change that brings us longer days and later sunsets. In order to properly admire sunny Spring days- and the stellar sunsets that proceed them- you must be prepared with a glam pair of sunglasses. Through years of living in Fort Lauderdale I relied on Ray Ban glasses to keep those rays out of my eyes (and to look cute). However, I am known to knock my sunnies around quite a lot during my beach escapades so I have decided to scout out a cheaper option that I don't mind manhandling. Tobi.com is an online fashion boutique run out of Southern Cali. Where better to get your glasses from than the West Coast? After all it is the land of eternal sun. These glasses are only $11.00 a pair and the shipping is $4.00 standard UPS. They ship quickly and always arrive in great condition. I recommend grabbing a pair so you are amply prepared for a season of sun and fun!

Revlon Classics

Found this gem on Pinterest! I've relied on Revlon's lip collection since the seventh grade. These timeless shades are a must- have for every lady of sophistication. Revlon lip stick can be purchased at any local drugstore for under $10.00.

Oscars Hall of Shame

When it comes to evening wear, some stars hit the gold standard and some need a citation from the fashion police. Here's the stars that did not earn my nomination for best dressed...

Helena Bonham Carter has never bored us on the red carpet, but this Vivenne Westwood gown would have been better used on Halloween night than on the red carpet.

For the Vanity Fair after party Zoe Deschanel turned her own lampshade into a dress... Crafty or just plain crazy?



Kelly Rowland would have been better off in an actual tux than this Donna Karan tuxedo- dress...



 Brandi Glanville wore her own design from her Brand B fashion label, and it was a clear indicator that she should stick to modeling.

Helen Hunt was the only lady of the evening to don a non- designer label- H&M. However, this dress was in desperate need of an iron or a full- on steam perhaps!

Be on the look out for my next post this upcoming Wednesday: I'll dish on who gets my vote of disapproval for their Oscar ensemble...

Big Bouncy Curls Tutorial

Ever wondered how red carpet curls are achieved? Do you envy the voluminous curly hair of the infamous Victoria Secret models? They're easy to get!

I've always had straight, medium- thick hair, and as the saying goes "you always want what you can't have", so I have been curling my hair since the seventh grade. Curls are just so endlessly romantic and feminine. I have never actually owned a curling iron or hot curlers, rather I have always used my straightener to curl my hair. It is easy as 1-2-3, and requires a minimum amount of heat. Also, you can curl bigger sections of hair with a double barrel flat iron. I have attatched tutorial pictures of my curls.

I use the CHI Straightener, and a teaspoon of Kerastase Heat Protectant prior to curling.
