A picture of Louis Vuitton's model line-up for the Fall/Winter 2010 show was recently leaked online and caused an uproar of men (and maybe some women) posting about how awful some of these models looked (without makeup) and commenting on how unattractive some of them were, in general.

Requested: My Daily EyeMakeUp & An OOTD
This is a much-requested post so I'm so happy I finally remembered to bring my camera into the bathroom with me where I get ready in the morning. This is my daily "eye makeup" routine, step by step. My first step is to apply MAC's studio finish concealer on my lids, and then powder my entire face with MAC's Studio Fix foundation (a ...
NOTD: Essie’s “Splash of Grenadine” and “Chinchilly”
As you all saw yesterday, I got some gorgeous new Essie nail polishes. I think I must be in a purple phase in my life, because lately all I'm buying is purple. The new couch pillows (for our new couch- all from West Elm). This new VS PINK tee I picked up today after returning the HEINOUS "Pink Nation" dress I got for $10. I don't know if anyone ...
500 Plus Subscriber Contest: Products I Love (I Hope You Will Too!)
Every time I go to ULTA to try and find prizes for my blog contest, I end up roaming around for almost an hour rethinking everything in my shopping basket. I finally decided on a few prizes- and I went with a "products I love" theme, because I feel kind of weird buying something for a contest that I've never used myself. Ok, so here ...
OOTN, First Kiehl’s Products and Toothpaste Rave!
Tonight my husband and I went out for dinner and rented "The Blind Side." I'm such an emotional person, I cried on and off throughout the entire movie. I am such a crier.

Today I called my waxing place to make an appointment with my favorite waxer...and was told she is moving to Michigan!

Zara, Sephora & Marshalls Haul. I Am in Love.
So, it really is Murphy's Law. No really. Today Candice and I headed to the mall for no reason other than to browse and go to Sephora to use the 15% off coupon. Remember a few weeks ago I said I never find what I'm looking for? Well today I was looking for nothing in particular, and ended up coming home with some of my most beloved purchases of all ...

Today I wore one of my favorite dresses of all time. I actually own it in both white (which I got first) and black because I love it so much.It's so simple and can be worn so many different ways.
