Holy Cow! An ASS!

Lifestyle
What are the first words that come to your mind when seeing this: Mine? Provocative. Is that a real ass? Art. This is Anna Halldin-Maule. This is an oil painting done from a photograph she took. Dope. I found her through globa14, you can visit her HERE .

A few of my Favorite things

Lifestyle
Lately I've been trying lots and lots of new make-up items. And some I've loved and some I've only barely liked. So here are a few of my New favorite things because why would I tell you about the things I didn't like? You can find most (if not ALL) of these things at your local Sephora. And definitely sign up for the Sephora Beauty Insider to earn free things. Life's so much better with free things. Stila Smudgestick eyeliner in Peacock :: Oh my gooodness this color prevails on all! I wear it and so does my friend of a darker complexion, and it looks good on both of us. A+ Stila. And its $20 bucks at Sephora. I might like this better than Lancome's Black Lapiz. Maybe ;/It…

‘Yeezy’s BACK!!!

Lifestyle
FYI: I adore Kanye West.  808's & Heartbreak no matter what you say is a GREAT album. He is showing some harcore emotions on that LP .. Anywho, 'Ye is back with his new track, 'POWER' .. I dig it .. but why would I not? I don't have a audio player plug-in so you'll have to head over HERE to Nah' Right to check it out... I can't wait  for his new project to come out. I don't like to listen to each track as the 'leak" ..I like to wait for the full experience. I know he would 'Never let me down' lol.. Word on the street is that Kanye & Amber broke up and he paid her some $$$ for her silence (aka a GAG order). Well,…

The ‘IT’ Accessory is the perfect manicure!!

The ‘IT’ Accessory is the perfect manicure!!

Nails
Is this better than a Minx manicure?? Minx mani's have been all the rage, or so I've heard since I've never gotten one. But now CND wants to Shellac your nails! That's right kids, Shellac is no longer just for wood, you can use it on your nails!! I am all about the home manicure. I used to be the girl who went to the salon and had my nails done every 2-3 weeks with the acrylic crap. But 1. It was costly and 2. it damaged the hell out of my natural nails. (this just goes to show that natural everything is better for the body -like natural hair IMO). But every once in a blue moon I like to go to the salon for a manicure. There's something…

Fashion Friday: 5.21.10 : birthday edition

Fashion Friday: 5.21.10 : birthday edition

Fashionable
Today is my birthday .. so these are things on my birthday wish  list. In an ideal world,  I'd be rocking this stuff and not wishing about it. P!NK covered the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine rocking this HOT dress. Of course when I saw it, I twitpic'd it and someone, I wanna say @Bleakey told me it was a Gucci dress. So I searched for the Spring & Summer Gucci collections and found the dress: I think I've previously blogged those Gucci shoes , but I think P!NK rocked the dress better than the model, the model gives this dress no shape. I want this dress. I love the edginess of it.

Kelis, please step away from the scissors!

Lifestyle
I happen to one of the few American's who is into Kelis ... Or at least I used to be. I ADORED her album Kelis Was Here. In fact, many songs off that album are still getting heavy rotation. I actually BOUGHT that cd. I also happen to think Kelis is a really pretty woman. So this is why it pains me to see her looking so ... BAD these days!! It's like she is just trying wayyyy too hard to be unique. Look at these pics, this is the Kelis I like: (yes, I really took the time to create a collage of Kelis looks.. and I don't have Photoshop!!! I won't reveal how I made it happen lol)Kelis was HOT in these pics!! Exuding Sexxxyy!! But now.. just…

Something New . . .

Lifestyle
I like to get all my fashion and celebrity news in one spot. And when I'm not spending time on Dlisted laughing at people's fashion choices.. I'm searching for a good site that can combine the two for me without being too blah. What do I then discover? Stylecaster. This is important to me, because I don't have as much time to get all my news links on Twitter (it really is like that sometimes..) so I need to quickly peruse while I'm at work and some sites are now blocked from my job ( :( ) .  My guilty pleasure is Celebrity news and fashion. I enjoy my serious news and world news but sometimes you just need strict entertainment. Stylecaster has celebrity  news (like all the cute Academy…

Fashion Friday: 3.4.10 – Score for the Wallets!!

Fashion Friday: 3.4.10 – Score for the Wallets!!

Lifestyle
So, anyone who knows me knows that my two favorite things are sales .. and even bigger sales. I believe that anything is worth buying on sale and if you really want something you should try to find it for cheap. Only true emergencies call for full price purchases... Does this make me cheap or fiscally responsible? I'm still working that one out. If you were to ever meet me (for those who haven't) and perhaps tell me that "Oh, those shoes are cute!!" I might respond, "Yeess!! and I got them on sale @ _____ store" It's a bad habit. I can't help it and it won't stop soon. What that also means is that I spend plenty of time hitting the pavement (aka the internets) searching for good…

Spreading Sunshine 3.2.10 : Dating is for the Birds!!

Lifestyle
Today's long-awaited (haha) Spreading Sunshine is dedicated to dating! Why all the dating posts? Because some of the stuff that I've encountered as a newly single twenty-something has me confused. And apparently I'm not alone. Me and my homegirl TB were just gchatting away about guys (and maybe this is just NJ guys) and their lack of dating etiquette. TB made a good point that its time to get back to basics. People somehow think that dating is either an exclusive relationship or a Friends with benefit relationship. NO!! Dating is dating. Going out and having a good time, not chilling in the house! And it doesn't necessarily include hooking up! A girl doesn't want to have to explain this. All we girls want is to go out, laugh, and…

All Grown up : Dakota Fanning

Lifestyle
I've had these pics for a little over a week, but I just was so busy! I am sharing them now! Look @ little Dakota Fanning! I can't believe she is so old now! I was shocked when I saw her in the New Moon (Twilight Trilogy) movie! And even in Secret Life of Bee's I couldn't believe how tall and dangly she'd gotten. But these pics, for Italian Vogue, she is so big! Big as in grown up. I feel so old when I watch people grow up. I'm sure people feel the same way when they see me. You hear it all the time "Yeah, I remember when you were yay high" LOL? Idk what is up with these Lourdes eyebrows, but I guess that's Italian fashion.. She…

Fashion Friday: 2.12.10: Did you Know??

Lifestyle
I just learned something new today:: BCBG Max Azria is named for the French phrase “bon chic, bon genre”—which means “good style, good attitude”—and is the lower-priced fashion arm of the company that includes Max Azria and Hervé Léger by Max Azria. Because I enjoy little pieces of random trivia I found this extremely interesting. I can now file it away to my room of useless facts. And here is something from the new BCBG Max Azria line: I love the color!

Why Wednesday, but a day late!

Mis-Adventures
Best Tweet I've seen so far about the snow:  RT @bikesnobnyc: I wish people would stop saying "snowpocalypse." As a survivor of the 2Pacalypse I find it offensive <--- that is HILARIOUS!!! Whats not hilarious is that the NJ Governor declared a state of  emergency, but yet my job decided they still wanted to be open. #FAIL!! Did I mention that I finished the book "The Last Lecture?" I thought it was soo good! It was exactly what I needed in my life. I mean, it made me think about how in life so many of us give up on our ideals and settle in with its distant cousin reality. No  FAIR.  It really is true: Reality Shouts; ideals whisper. - Nathaniel LeTonnere, translated . Why is it that way?…
