I am having one heck of a time with my videos for some reason! I made this video several days ago, but Windows Movie Maker would continuously lock up every time I tried to edit and finalize it! So, I tried a different program that has distorted the video and made it rather grainy-looking, and I have an HD video camera! Go figure!<br />But, I was finally able to upload my video on my first <a href="http://www.shoedazzle.com/">Shoe Dazzle </a>experience! I love, love, love my shoes and was so happy with my selection! They fit well and, aside from needing scuffing on the soles of the shoes to keep me from busting my butt, they are near perfect! I can't wait to show you guys the shoes I picked out for the month of March - they are just as awesome. A little edgier than the red heels, but so gorgeous!<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u6ok83nyjDI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u6ok83nyjDI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><p align="center"><br /><br />Just how beautiful are they?!?!<br /><br /></p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S5N1NezKKCI/AAAAAAAAAYA/cH1LrxhzRqg/s1600-h/DSC00142.JPG"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445825248887449634" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S5N1NezKKCI/AAAAAAAAAYA/cH1LrxhzRqg/s320/DSC00142.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S5N1M2NUFMI/AAAAAAAAAX4/TH5mbdZ4sOY/s1600-h/DSC00141.JPG"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445825237991298242" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S5N1M2NUFMI/AAAAAAAAAX4/TH5mbdZ4sOY/s320/DSC00141.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S5N1MiCRxrI/AAAAAAAAAXw/ZSR5Y4LfnUM/s1600-h/DSC00122.JPG"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; display: block; height: 320px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445825232576300722" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S5N1MiCRxrI/AAAAAAAAAXw/ZSR5Y4LfnUM/s320/DSC00122.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p align="center"><br />XOXO!!</p>Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05301866084337512312noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383317854948250733.post-71893178770513946292010-03-03T11:02:00.004-06:002010-03-03T11:57:44.148-06:00FOTD: MAC Almondine<div align="center">So, I broke out my new Spring Colour Forecast "candy".

So, I recreated it and actually made a video (my first in quite a while!). Please ignore the watermark - I am using a trial version of the editing software and I can't get rid of it! I used my new Coastal Scents palletes...I know I'm a little behind on that, but I finally gave in to the temptation that has been building forever and bought 2. I actually did a haul video, but for some reason, it wouldn't upload, then was accidentally deleted.

I usually just stuck with whatever was working for me at the time. However, this winter season has wreaked havoc on my skin. I was having dry patches in the strangest places - above my top lip, the bridge of my nose, the middle of my cheek. Just really weird places for me. So, I finally caved in and headed to my trusty Target, where I found this - TA DA!</div><p align="center"><br /></p><div align="center"></div><p align="center"><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S1PEyWjxFZI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/7gNeHZDK-kk/s1600-h/DSC05484.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S1PEyWjxFZI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/7gNeHZDK-kk/s320/DSC05484.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427898345239680402" /></a><br /><br />My apologies on the blurry picture - I didn't notice until after I uploaded! Anyway, I love my Oil of Olay Age Defining Daily Renewal Cream! This little gem contains a beta hydroxy complex that works as an exfoliant (you would never know it because it is so gentle - I can't feel a thing!) then gives your skin the most amazing moisture surge. It truly is unbelievable! Honestly, after 2 days of using this, my crazy dry patches went away and my skin feels incredibly soft and supple!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S1PDFwp6YMI/AAAAAAAAAUA/1SQvWkFjJ3U/s1600-h/DSC05487.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427896479639036098" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S1PDFwp6YMI/AAAAAAAAAUA/1SQvWkFjJ3U/s320/DSC05487.JPG" /></a><br />Check this out! Not overly thick and heavy. Perfectly rich and creamy!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S1PDFz1GLsI/AAAAAAAAAT4/TwMtUIiKNM8/s1600-h/DSC05486.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427896480491253442" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S1PDFz1GLsI/AAAAAAAAAT4/TwMtUIiKNM8/s320/DSC05486.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I am constantly running my hands over my cheeks now! It contains a light fresh scent that is not overpowering and just smells clean. This is one product that I can see forever being in my winter arsenal. If you battle dry skin in the winter, definitely check this stuff out!<br /><br />Until next time, XOXO!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S1PD8G0ABfI/AAAAAAAAAUI/CZXlKiF-8qA/s1600-h/DSC05506.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427897413299865074" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/S1PD8G0ABfI/AAAAAAAAAUI/CZXlKiF-8qA/s320/DSC05506.JPG" /></a>Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05301866084337512312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383317854948250733.post-73883334231408565882010-01-15T20:10:00.004-06:002010-01-15T21:01:53.557-06:00Prayers for Haiti<div align="center">I really don't have any words to say about the earthquake that devastated Haiti earlier this week that hasn't already been said.

It comes in 3.4 oz, 1.7 oz, 1 oz, and the rollerball. Prices range from $65-$16, respectively.

Katy Perry is on the cover - and just how freaking gorgeous is she?!?! Anyway, I found an article in there with tips on facial cleansing that I wanted to share with y'all! It helped me and I hope it helps you all as well!!<br /><br /><strong>Step 1 - Exactly How to Wash Your Face: </strong><br /><em>1. Use warm water.</em> "Cold closes your pores, so your cleanser can't work and hot water is too stripping." Hands get the job done, but a sponge feels good. Try ricky Care Sea Sponge ($5. <a href="http://www.rickysnyc.com/">rickysnyc.com</a>)<br /><em>2. Pick a good cleanser</em>. "Don't worry about whether it's a gel, lotion or bar. It's the ingredients that matter." If your skin is oily or acne-prone, look for one with blemish-busting salicylic acid. Dry skin? A wash with moisturizing ingredients like shea butter works best.<br /><em>3. Rub in on: rinse it off</em>. Work cleanser onto skin for about 15 seconds - any longer is overkill. Then splash your face with water at least six times to completely rinse.<br /><strong>Recommended products</strong>:<br />1. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Redness Soothing Facial Cleanser (for the greasies) ($7 at drugstores)<br />2. Clarins Gentle Beauty Soap (cleans and moisturizes) ($15, <a href="http://www.clarinsusa.com/">clarinsusa.com</a>)<br />3. L'Oreal Paris Go 360 Clean Deep Cream Cleanser (comes with a cool tool for scrubbing) ($7 at drugstores)<br />4. Clarins The Brush. Use on bar soap for some serious lather. ($19, <a href="http://www.clarinsusa.com/">clarinsusa.com</a>)<br /><br /><strong>Step 2 - Exactly How to Moisturize<br /></strong>There's no big trick for applying face cream - experts agree you can just slap it on. But choosing the perfect formula is essential. The rules:<br /><em>1. Oily skin needs lotion too.</em> Seems odd, but oil production has nothing to do with skin's hydration level!<br /><em>2. Feeling tight? Go rich!!</em> IF your skin seems dry or tight postcleaning, opt for creams that contain humectants, like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which draw moisture to the skin.<br /><em>3. Get a multitasker.</em> Whoever decided to add SPF to moisturizer was a genius! You're able to soften and protect skin from sun damage in one step. Pick one with anti-agers to fight lines, too.<br /><strong>Recommended:<br /></strong>1. Origins Starting Over Age-Erasing Oil-Free Moisturizer With Mimosa ($45, <a href="http://www.origins.com/">origins.com</a>)<a href="http://www.origins.com/"><br /></a>2. Estee Lauder Hydrationist Maximum Moisture Creme ($38, <a href="http://www/esteelauder.com">esteelauder.com</a>)<br />3. Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 ($14, at drugstores) </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Until next time, XOXO!!</div>Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05301866084337512312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383317854948250733.post-67692078891689169312010-01-02T11:57:00.007-06:002010-01-02T12:59:23.337-06:00Happy New Year!!!<div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sz-UTMT3jVI/AAAAAAAAAR4/dY2qjF2d54g/s1600-h/New-Year-2010-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422215533820349778" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sz-UTMT3jVI/AAAAAAAAAR4/dY2qjF2d54g/s320/New-Year-2010-1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Wow, is it me or does "two thousand, ten" or "twenty-ten" just not sound right? How in the world could another year have flown by so quickly? Crazy!<br /><br /><br />I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season, whatever you celebrate, be it Christmas or whatever! Santa was nice and brought me an i-touch. I was extremely excited! My cell phone service provider isn't AT&T, otherwise I would have asked good ol Santa Baby for an i-phone. But I was overjoyed with my i-touch. Now all I need is someone to explain to me why I have to have some password to log in when I am supposed to have free wi-fi! I consider myself pretty saavy with the techno stuff, but this one is beyond me! I was so frustrated at my local Starbucks that I caved and paid for a year subscription to AT&T's wireless internet just so I could log on and download apps there, since that is my favorite "hang out" place!<br />Anyway, I will admit, I am one of those who will make a huge slew of resolutions, feel completely overwhelmed by all the promises I made, and end up breaking all of them by January 15th. Yes, I'm a failure! So to save myself the stress of it all, I made myself a simple resolution for the new year - "just be a better person than last year." Nothing fancy or detailed. Just short, sweet and to the point. So far, since this is only the second day of the new year, I've actually done quite well! LOL!! Part of the "bettering myself" is to work a little bit harder on this blog. I enjoy this so much and am so thankful to all of you who read it, I want to do more to make it more enjoyable for you all! So, any ideas for postings that you guys want to see, please feel free to send them to me! I'm all for it!!<br />Here are a couple of looks that I did over the past month or so that I was able to get a few pictures of! I don't really remember what products I used, though!

I know, 2 months to the date, right? I'm so sorry! I started my new job and I have been so focused on the orientation process that I'm completely exhausted by the time I come home! But now that I'm getting into the swing of things fairly well, I hope to get back to regular postings!!</div><div align="center"></div><p align="center">Ok, so I don't know about the rest of you, but I am a Christmas freak! I started gearing up for Christmas the day after Halloween! I freakin' love Christmas! So, this week's polish of the week comes from O.P.I.'s new Holiday Wishes collection. Say hello to Shim-Merry Chic!</p><div align="center"></div><p align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SwsYpGi3c5I/AAAAAAAAARQ/TsoHMeM6lLM/s1600/Shimmerry.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407442871998968722" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SwsYpGi3c5I/AAAAAAAAARQ/TsoHMeM6lLM/s320/Shimmerry.jpg" /></a><br />I wasn't quite sure what to think of this color when I first got it. I like the overall color, but what I really liked were the flakes of different color in it. It's not like any other color I have, so buying it was a must! </p><br /><p></p><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SwvS0XyW4hI/AAAAAAAAARw/Ub0HLA3TEdE/s1600/DSC05378.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 272px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SwvS0XyW4hI/AAAAAAAAARw/Ub0HLA3TEdE/s320/DSC05378.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407647574768673298" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SwvS0CQoV7I/AAAAAAAAARo/qnDhRYQdkZc/s1600/DSC05377.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 182px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SwvS0CQoV7I/AAAAAAAAARo/qnDhRYQdkZc/s320/DSC05377.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407647568990066610" /></a><br /> <div align="center">You can find this color at:</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/OPI-Shim-merry-Chic/dp/B002ED7SEW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1259064523&sr=8-2">Amazon.com</a> : $5.35</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.8ty8beauty.com/nail_polishes/opi-a.htm">8ty8 Beauty </a>: $4.48</div><div align="center"><a href="http://stores.ulta.com/store/">ULTA stores </a>: $8.50</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Let me know what you think!</div><div align="center">Until next time, XOXO!</div>Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05301866084337512312noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383317854948250733.post-81425624223803576472009-09-23T18:37:00.003-05:002009-09-23T18:44:44.323-05:00Style Black is Here!!!<div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Srqyq5dFsxI/AAAAAAAAARA/lrKgiMSgHGQ/s1600-h/media_styleblack2001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384812754521928466" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Srqyq5dFsxI/AAAAAAAAARA/lrKgiMSgHGQ/s320/media_styleblack2001.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="center">Finally, after many sleepless nights filled with anticipation, Style Black is available on the <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/">MAC website</a>!!

It's not a place that I check out on a regular basis because it's generally a so-so kind of store.

Frosted Flakes is one of my faves - a simple pretty champagne/nudish color.

Those are the only items that I remember the price of! They are so cute and little, but there is tons of color concentrated in those bottles! The colors I got are Mocha Pearl, Silver Pearl, Black Pearl.</p><p></p><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrmJllqM2UI/AAAAAAAAAQY/ql_NDe6ZpjY/s1600-h/DSC05007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 262px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384486108355418434" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrmJllqM2UI/AAAAAAAAAQY/ql_NDe6ZpjY/s320/DSC05007.JPG" /></a> </p><p> </p><p align="center">And of course, swatches!

Even though the packaging says Ever Lash, I believe they are another version of Red Cherry. I compared the numbers on each of the lashes and they are identical to Red Cherry.

Creme, Bliss, Ever Lash....? </p><br /><p></p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrmNxyPQXNI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/dy9hqR6h5rw/s1600-h/DSC04999.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 264px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384490715937004754" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrmNxyPQXNI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/dy9hqR6h5rw/s320/DSC04999.JPG" /></a><br /><p> </p><p align="center">The only thing I forgot to include separate pictures of was the eyeshadow trio in Ceramic.

I mean, the styles were absolutely beautiful! Such a huge diversity of colors, prints, fabrics! Apparently anything goes for next spring!<br /><br />Here's a few of my faves:<br /><br /><br />Arise: African Promise Collection<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrglaDr0fWI/AAAAAAAAAOY/WT9Sun3xDgQ/s1600-h/arise+african+promise+collection.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 131px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384094484117355874" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrglaDr0fWI/AAAAAAAAAOY/WT9Sun3xDgQ/s320/arise+african+promise+collection.jpg" /></a> </div><p align="center">This dress is to die for! I love the colors. But what I love most is the top portion of the dress. Even though the model is not well endowed, this style would also work well for those of us who are a little more blessed up top. Maxi dresses and I did not get along well this summer for that reason - I felt like I was exposing more than I was covering! Ugh!</p><br /><p></p><p align="center">BCBG Max Azria<br /></p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgmYdnopcI/AAAAAAAAAOg/JtnUb9CJOK0/s1600-h/bcbgmaxazria.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 131px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384095556231013826" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgmYdnopcI/AAAAAAAAAOg/JtnUb9CJOK0/s320/bcbgmaxazria.jpg" /> <p align="center"></a>What I would give for those shoes! I love the overall look of this design! Very light yet the contrast of solid with the bold print gives it an awesome edgy look! Awesome!<br /></p><p></p><br /><p align="center">Milly by Michelle Smith<br /></p><p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgnK6N9GLI/AAAAAAAAAOo/dK9NY1dDdNQ/s1600-h/Milly+by+Michelle+Smith.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 131px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384096422901389490" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgnK6N9GLI/AAAAAAAAAOo/dK9NY1dDdNQ/s320/Milly+by+Michelle+Smith.jpg" /></a> I love the chic casual look of this design - aside from the "thingie" on her head! LOL! I can picture stores like Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe carrying comparable items in their stores.</p><p align="center"><br />Monarchy Collection<br /></p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Srgn2A-ALGI/AAAAAAAAAOw/bvZDN8K4N-U/s1600-h/Monarchy+Collection.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 131px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384097163447905378" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Srgn2A-ALGI/AAAAAAAAAOw/bvZDN8K4N-U/s320/Monarchy+Collection.jpg" /> <p align="center"></a>There is nothing that I do not love about this one! Love the bow on the skirt, the flowy lightweight material of the shirt, the absolutely stunning shoes. This design takes the look of neutrals and kicks it up a bit!<br /><br /><br />But out of all the amazing designs from some truly incredible designers, I think Diane von Furstenberg really stole the whole week's worth of talent! Love, love, love every single one of her designs! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!<br /></p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgoxBWeBJI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/_B5BzkmsAuw/s1600-h/DIANE+VON+FURSTENBERG+4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 131px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384098177162806418" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgoxBWeBJI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/_B5BzkmsAuw/s320/DIANE+VON+FURSTENBERG+4.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgowU6tKxI/AAAAAAAAAPI/hLfNPsItG9k/s1600-h/DIANE+VON+FURSTENBERG+3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 131px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384098165235198738" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgowU6tKxI/AAAAAAAAAPI/hLfNPsItG9k/s320/DIANE+VON+FURSTENBERG+3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgovvhEfAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/XsN-wgwAG7E/s1600-h/DIANE+VON+FURSTENBERG+2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 131px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384098155195563010" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgovvhEfAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/XsN-wgwAG7E/s320/DIANE+VON+FURSTENBERG+2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgouhyfiEI/AAAAAAAAAO4/5wumhCP0Uh4/s1600-h/Diane+von+furstenberg+1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 131px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384098134330673218" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/SrgouhyfiEI/AAAAAAAAAO4/5wumhCP0Uh4/s320/Diane+von+furstenberg+1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><p align="center">Click <a href="http://www.mbfashionweek.com/newyork/">here</a> to see all of the designs from the Spring 2010 Fashion Week.

Hope you all had a great weekend! Sorry for the lack of updates last week - I just started a new job and last week was full of orientation and such! And this week's polish is not going to be the prettiest sample! I actually JUST put it on so that I would have an update for you. I am currently wearing it on my toes, but I have such a foot anti-fetish that I will never take pictures of my feet to show them to you! So I threw it on my fingernails for you!</div><br /><br />This week's color is OPI's Black Cherry Chutney. Seriously, this color is to die for! It's a deep raspberry plum (like a reddish-black) color that is just gorgeous and perfect for the fall! It's from the India collection (which included some absolutely amazing colors!) and I consider it a must-have for this coming fall/winter season!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sra0ASiq8dI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/l7AYJRymJ88/s1600-h/DSC04991.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383688321638265298" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sra0ASiq8dI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/l7AYJRymJ88/s320/DSC04991.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sraz_8F5VMI/AAAAAAAAAOI/l2KNG5Qi0Yg/s1600-h/DSC04990.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 254px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383688315611993282" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sraz_8F5VMI/AAAAAAAAAOI/l2KNG5Qi0Yg/s320/DSC04990.JPG" /></a></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">You can find this at:</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.svbeautysupplies.com/servlet/the-1063/OPI-Black-Cherry-Chutney/Detail">SV Beauty Supply</a>: $4.25 - yes, $4.25!!!<br /><a href="http://www.adiscountbeauty.com/page60.html">American Discount Beauty Supply</a>: $5.95</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.8ty8beauty.com/nail_polishes/opi.htm">88 Beauty Supply </a>: $4.48 - I know, crazy right?!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Until next time, XOXO!!<br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><br /></p>Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05301866084337512312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383317854948250733.post-61635439300176360112009-09-14T06:00:00.000-05:002009-09-14T06:00:02.726-05:00I'm Back & Polish of the Week: OPI You Don't Know Jacques<div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sqz3Uis-oGI/AAAAAAAAAN4/cqXiKLtneJM/s1600-h/opiyoudontknowjacques1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 130px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380947587085803618" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sqz3Uis-oGI/AAAAAAAAAN4/cqXiKLtneJM/s320/opiyoudontknowjacques1.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Hi, everyone! I know, it's been forever! But I just got my computer back! I've been without it for about three weeks and I felt like I was going to die - I'm a little too attached to this thing! :)<br /><br />This week's nail polish color is one you might remember from my <a href="http://amrogers78.blogspot.com/2009/07/nail-polish-haul-for-yall.html">haul post</a> I wasn't initially thrilled with the color, but guess what? - I love it!!! It might be one of my new favorite fall polishes. It's a creamy grayish-taupe color, and has great coverage. Just your two coats and you're ready to go! This isn't the matte color that OPI recently came out with, though. It's from their fall collection last year - La Collection de France, I believe. I'm dying to try out their matte colors, but I'm having a hard time trying to find them locally! I'm cheap and don't like to pay for shipping when I can drive to find what I'm looking for! What do you guys think?<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sqz1fhJ5a2I/AAAAAAAAANw/OByPjifBVf0/s1600-h/DSC04942.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 239px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380945576625531746" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sqz1fhJ5a2I/AAAAAAAAANw/OByPjifBVf0/s320/DSC04942.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sqz1fZED4ZI/AAAAAAAAANo/PDj-uvzqX-M/s1600-h/DSC04940.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380945574453567890" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4SzaucSQiS4/Sqz1fZED4ZI/AAAAAAAAANo/PDj-uvzqX-M/s320/DSC04940.JPG" /></a><br /><br />You can find this polish at:<br />ULTA stores: (click <a href="http://stores.ulta.com/store/">here</a> for store locator)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nailpolishdiva.com/nlf15-opi-you-dont-know-jacques.htm">Nail Polish Diva</a>: $7.32<a href="http://www.nailpolishdiva.com/nlf15-opi-you-dont-know-jacques.htm"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E25G0W/ref%3Dasc_df_B001E25G0W862014/%3Ftag%3Daskcomel-20%26creative%3D380333%26creativeASIN%3DB001E25G0W%26linkCode%3Dasn">Amazon</a>: $6.99<br /><br />Unitl next time, XOXO!!</div>Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05301866084337512312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383317854948250733.post-35596215701874987782009-08-25T06:00:00.001-05:002009-08-25T06:00:03.353-05:00Shake Your Booties!<div align="center">Now that nursing school is behind me and I can broaden my fall shoe collection to include something other than tennis shoes, Dansko's or Uggs, I am ready to get my shoe shopping on!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! My computer is still being worked on, but fortunately, I was able to scrounge up a polish of the week for you! Hopefully I will get my computer back sometime this week, if not by the weekend. I feel naked without it! LOL!<br /><br />Anyway, this week's color is Spontaneous by China Glaze. It's a beautiful creamy lilac color. I always think of Easter when I wear this polish - hmmm, maybe because of the pastel color perhaps? Unlike last week's color, <a href="http://amrogers78.blogspot.com/2009/08/polish-of-week-turned-up-turquoise-by.html">Turned Up Turquoise</a>, this is a richer color with great coverage!

I've been playing more on polyvore.com and wanted to show you all some of the designs I put together. If you have not checked out this website and you love to play around with fashion, this is the best website for that! They have so many different items to choose from and piece together. Another great thing about the website is that they include the price and the place to actually buy that particular piece! So, you really can buy your own personally designed outfit!

Hope you all had a great weekend! I'm experiencing some computer issues at the moment (aka crashing!) so I'm doing updates from work - Shhhhh! I don't know if I will be able to get an update scheduled for every day this week (I should be getting my computer back sometime this weekend), but I'll do what I can! </div><br /><div align="center"><br />Ok, so my polish of the week is one of my faves - especially for the summer! It's called "Turned Up Turquoise" by China Glaze. This color is gorgeous, the pictures can't do it justice. I would say it's more on the green side so I wouldn't exactly call this color turquoise but almost like a mermaid green color. Does that make any sense? :) This color dries super fast, probably because it's a more sheer color, which leads me to my only issue with this particular color - you need a really good base coat and at least two layers of this polish. You can probably see the white from my french manicure trying to shine through the color! I put on two coats - shoulda gone with three! But it is such a gorgeous color! Definitely check it out! </div><br /><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b347/AngelR2000/?action=view&current=DSC04939.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b347/AngelR2000/DSC04939.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b347/AngelR2000/?action=view&current=DSC04935.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b347/AngelR2000/DSC04935.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Unitl next time, XOXO!! </div>Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05301866084337512312noreply@blogger.com0
