Inspiration for Mommies???

I started thinking this morning about my little girl and future birthday parties and what themes we would go with.  So, I decided to google images of theme parties, and came across this adorable blog by Design Dazzle.  I am in love with this theme.  If Gabi doesn't still have it in her mind that she wants to be Spiderman at her 4th birthday, I may have to go with the Ballerina theme.  Or I may save it for her 5th birthday, and make it really special for that birthday milestone. ;)  Enjoy these pictures, mommies!!!

 This last picture is my fave!  I am dying over this outside tea party tent!

NAILS....

Everyone who knows me know, I am in love with nail polish.  I get a rush when I am buying my new OPI's... That's just me.  Some people like WEED... I love POLISH.  LOL... I just recently saw a picture of a manicure Katy Perry had and I was like, "Ummmm... WANT IT."  Now, let me just say this manicure is NOT for everyone.  It is for people with a lot of time and MONEY.

Katy had 76 crystals just on her THUMB ALONE.  I don't have that time... and needless to say... the money to get SWAROVSKY ish on my NAILS.  I am a makeup artist and for as much as I use my hands, uh hello???? It's not worth losing one of those dang crystals.  So I came up with a modified version of this mani, and I'm diggin' it...

 I had my girl Desiree, who also hooks up the Rockstar toes put the OPI Shellac silver polish on first.  Then I had purchased the nail gems from Boulevard Nail Supplies and had her use nail glue to adhere them to each of my ring fingers.  She then covered them with a top coat.  They are not as sparkly as Katy's blinged out phalanges, but I'm digging them just as much.  

 I like the contrast between the other nails and the "gemstone mama".... Love, love, love my nails and I love how Desiree can make my vision reality!

XOXO,

P.S.  The Jimmy Choos I really want (fyi) LOL... Totally off topic, but had to throw it in the mix. 

Ahhhh... $1695.00

MAC QUITE CUTE COLLECTION...

I was in Mac yesterday, just browsin', when I happened upon the collection that JUST launched.  I LOVE IT... I am in love with the pastels right now, and these are fierce!  Here is the entire collection:

I fell in love with the nail polishes in Little Girl Type (pastel lavender) and Mischievous Mint (pastel blue/green):

P.S.  Don't mind the ding on the finger... LOL... Did that with my camera.
I also bought 3 lip products: Candy Yum Yum (makes Girl About Town NOT look hot pink) Playing Koi (which reminds me of Myth, but BETTER) and Bubble Tea Plushglass, which is the perfect nude gloss. 

The swatches don't do it justice.  Anyway, I will post pics soon.  AND YOU WILL DIE! ;)  The best part is that I got my discount on each of these limited edition products.  I'm in heaven.

XOXO,

It's Like BUTTER, Baby!

To start this post, I must say to everyone in the San Diego area, "Get yo butt to my cousin's boutique, DOLCETTI, downtown and spend some money." 
Okay, now that I got that out of the way... I was in there today with Gabz and we were visiting and hanging out when I saw a new line of nail polish, called Butter.  Now, everyone who knows me, knows I am an OPI girl to the core.  But, there are a few colors from this collection that caught my eye; they were different from any OPI colors I currently own.  The packaging is super cute and fresh.  It reminded me of the font Philosophy uses for their packaging.  I tried one color on and I am definitely a fan.  The color scheme reminds me of Hard Candy's pastel polishes from back in the day.  I love it!  There are some other cool facts about this product as well.  One being that it's organic.  I'm excited to see how this polish wears.  These run about 14.00, which is a little more pricey than most, but still 9 dollars less than Chanel and 7 dollars less than Dior.  A traditional bottle of OPI is 8.50 and that's if you aren't buying a special edition which can run 12 to 13 bux.  So, it's definitely in a reasonable market... People WILL pay.  So the next time you head over to Dolcetti and A Style Concierge, be sure to grab a polish to coordinate with that FABULOUS handbag you bought for Spring.

XOXO,

 I'm wearing the color on the far left.

 The rest of the line, including: Base and Topcoats, Cuticle oil and remover and Nail growth polish

 I HEART the display unit!

I am a fan of this pastel/slate blue... Very different than I normally wear.

Wonder Woman Collection by MAC

Ok... So I checked out the collection.  Needless to say I wasn't impressed.  I was kinda disappointed.  The packaging was to be expected; it looks just like the cartoon.  But, the product is not exciting.  I think I pretty much have all the colors they are offering, just from other collections.  The one thing I did want, was the mineralized powder.  It's 2 highlighters and 1 bronzer in a compact.  They have it in light and dark versions.  I think the MAC at Fashion sold out of the light powder already, so I will check with 5th Ave to see what they got.  If they are out, then I will just take that L.  If I wanted it bad enough I would've copped it already, 4 sure.

XOXO,
