Spring Lineup for 2011!

Okay kittens... We have awesome new items in store for everyone who is ANYONE!  First off, I would like to announce that Urban Decay is celebrating it's 15 year anniversary!  At the beginning of February, we are featuring a brand new, full size eyeliner set!  There are 15 liners in this set; 5 of them being new colors!  The set is 92 bux!  That's a 255 dollar value!  You are basically buying 6 liners and getting 9 FREE!!!!  If you haven't already used our 24/7 Glide On liners, then HANDLE THAT!  They are cream based waterproof pencils that DO NOT tug at your lid and they set within 45 seconds to a minute.  You definitely need makeup remover to get it off.  I am stoked on this set.  I would wear EVERY COLOR!

We also have shadow sticks hittin' stores next month.  They are super creamy and dry to a waterproof finish!  Awesome to use as a base, thicker liner, or just alone!  Peep the look we created at work today!

Next up!!!  We have cream blushes, an eyelash growth serum (45 bux), which I tried for the first time tonight... 

DAY 1:

Results are supposed to be visible in just 2 weeks.  I will be the judge of that!  LOL  We also came out with a CURLING MASCARA, a mascara for false lashes, and 2 new nude lipliners!  I am stoked on the Spring selection!  I will keep you posted!  Come see me at my counter to get your hands on your new gear!  Macy's Fashion Valley!  (San Diego, CA)

New Year... New Swag!

I am in the process of redoing my apartment... I have some chairs that were just given to me when I bounced outta the rents place 7 years ago.  They USED to be white... Needless to say, I need to get some new gear and get rid of old.  I am a huge fan of peacock feathers.  I love the vibrancy and colors involved!  So, I am focusing on that as my color palette and incorporating a "Vintage Glamour" sort of feel.   

I bought this couch today!  This is not my place.  It is the picture of it I found online.  I got this piece for 155.00!  It looks black, but is called Merlot.  It is a deep eggplant color!  GORGEOUS!  It also folds down to make a place to lay.  I'm thinking teal pillows with it.

These other pictures are just for inspiration, the colors will be different and my personal "flavor" will be added.

I will post actual pictures of my place when it is complete!   LO LO 

ALEXANDER MC QUEEN! ... My next pair of SHADES!

I have been wanting some bomb diggity aviators for awhile and haven't been able to find JUST THE RIGHT PAIR... UNTIL NOW!!!  I was at Nordies the other day and I found some Alexander McQueen's that are absolutely perf!  They are bronze, with amber lenses.  They have a skull head on either side with amber stones inlaid for the eyes.  Let me know what you think, for they will be my next pair of designer lenses... :)  They run about 360 bux.  My D&G's were 275 bux and have been worth every penny...  So I am looking forward to the time I can make this next major investment.

Humphrey's By The Bay on Sunday Nights!

I am a huge jazz fan.  I absolutely love it.  I was blessed with a musical family and we are all very eclectic with our genres.  A few years back, a friend of mine introduced me to Sunday nights at Humphrey's.  I then introduced my baby daddy to them, and he and I have gone a few times over the years to listen to some awesome jazz.  Last year, he burned a cd for me of this Saxophonist, Jackiem Joyner. 

"I know you will love this," he said.  He was right.  I immediately took to Jackiem's music and have been a fan ever since.  2 days ago, Jonathan (baby daddy) asked me to go to Humphrey's on Sunday.  Of course, I said yes!  What I didn't know was that Jackiem Joyner was going to be performing that night.  "Duh, that's why I wanted to go..." Jono said.  LOL... I got so excited and had a great time!  He played 3 sets. His band was amazing.  One musician in particular stood out to me.  His name is Kayta Matsuno, the guitarist.  This guy had major skills!  I talked to him between sets, told him who my uncle was, and he immediately asked me for my email address.  LOL... BTW, he used to have two Taylors, until one was stolen. :(  He said, "Taylors are the best!"  I quite agree.  I took some video, but I am having trouble uploading it...
Peep his website jackiemjoyner.com

Some of my faves are Take Me There off of his album Lil' Man Soul, released in 2009. Also, he did a cover of Lost Without You by Robin Thicke, on that album.

During his set he played a cover of Say Yes by Floetry.  This is one of my all time favorite songs, and I was so happy to hear his rendition... Hopefully he has it up on his site.  It was awesome.

2011... Resolutions?

Ok.. It's a new year.  I have a few resolutions I made, and I think they are pretty good. 
1) No soda.  I have never been a huge soda drinker.  I never buy it from the grocery store and I don't buy it when I gas my car.  But, working at the mall makes it easy to get on a lunch break and that's what I normally do.  Diet Coke is my soda of choice, but now, I am trying to just stick to my coffee, water, and iced tea.  I want to lose some weight I have gained in the past year, and I think eliminating soda will do me some good.

2) I want to OWN something.  Meaning... a place.  I want to set up a major budget and stick to it, so that by the end of 2011 I am in a new place of my own.  People say CREDIT is everything... and I GOT next to PERFECT credit.  I think I could make it work. ;)

P.S.  During the holiday season I have come across a few new places to eat and some hidden spots to find fabulous things!  I will blog about them soon!

XOXO,

The Royal Fairytale... Every Lil' Girl's Dream!

My mom and I were out and about today, and we went by Parkway Plaza.  As were walking by,  this store, The Royal Fairytale, caught my eye!  It also caught Gabi's eye!  It was filled with tutus, glamour, and glitz, and it is all geared toward little girls!  I seriously thought I was gonna die in this place.  There is a "stuffie station" (just like Build A Bear) that has all different animals and outfits to choose from.  You pay 19.95 for the animal of your choice to be stuffed.  There is a station to let your little ones make their own lotions, lipglosses, and bath bubbles, with tons of sparkle in it!  I want to go back and make my own self some gear!  LOL... Anyway, this place offers 2 hour tea parties, birthday parties, and pajama parties wear the kids can dress like princesses and have tea, or wear comfy robes and get manis, pedis, and facial masks!  You pay 20 bux and can drop your child off at one of the scheduled tea parties, or put down a deposit and pick the party of your choice for your daughter and 7 of her girlfriends!  I can't wait for Gabi to get a little older so we can have a bling bling party for her!  Go check it out today!  Shout out to Tami, the owner, for creating this charming establishment!

XOXO,

What I Want For Christmas...

Everyone has been asking what I want for Christmas.  I hadn't really thought about it this year, so I really didn't know what I wanted.  So I am just putting up 4 items that I love.  Okay, so here they are.. I think I will probably only get 1 out of the 4 I post...

                                                       

1) Viva La Juicy perfume

 

2) Pure By Donna Karen

                                                        

       Michael Kors Hobo 498.00

Christian Louboutin Fleece Booties 595.00

So, as you can see I am probably not going to get the last two items on my short beginner's list... A girl can DREAM though, right??? ;)

XOXO,
