Todays Nails!

SEPHORA by O.P.I. Nail Color in "The Way Tutu His Heart"

A delightful white shade with just a hint of pink and how cute is the name? Loving!


Note to self: Choose a phone with a better camera next time :)

This just in.....

If you haven't already heard or seen, Blake Lively has dyed her hair red. I like when celebrities change things up and try new things with their looks but I have to admit this is not a change I'm digging. I mean, when your hair is as loved and has become as iconic as "The Rachel", as Blake Lively's blonde beach waves, why change such a great thing? Anyways, it's only hair and maybe it's for a movie role, but I bet it wont be long before she's back to blonde.

This look is a little too "Little Mermaid" for my liking

Hair Perfection! If I were to choose to look like any celebrity it would be a toss up between Blake Lively and Carrie Underwood.

Whats your celebrity hair crush?

Happy Easter!

I thought I would share this Easter joke that my Dad forwarded to me. He thought it was a quite fitting joke to send along to me. I agree with him.
Enjoy!

A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road.

He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.

The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit.

Much to his dismay, the rabbit is the EASTER BUNNY, and he is DEAD.

The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry. A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees the man crying on the side of the road and pulls over.

She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong?

"I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny with my car and KILLED HIM."

The blonde says, "Don't worry."

She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead Easter Bunny, bends down, and sprays the contents onto him.

The Easter Bunny jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road.

Ten feet away he stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.

The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands, "What is in that can? What did you spray on the Easter Bunny?"

The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.

It says....

"Hair Spray

Restores life to dead hair,

and adds permanent wave." (hehehehe)

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

Oh Happy Day!

It's a happy happy day when one of your favourite moisturizers is made into a tinted moisturizer. Dying to try new Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15. Anyone try this one yet?

Dream Polish

I never really understood why some beauty companies would charge $25 or more for a nail polish. I mean, sure some nail polish is more high quality then others but can a little bottle of nail polish really be worth that high of a price point?

To answer my own question... YES... nail polish can definitly be worth it!

I recently tried new Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Laquer in Fuschia Flame. It goes on like a dream! Seriously, I've never enjoyed putting on a nail polish as much as I loved applying this one. It goes on perfectly, makes you feel like a professional manicurest. It comes in a variety of fun shades. This one in particular shows up more on the red side then the pink/purple side.

Have you tried higher priced nail polish? Was it worth it?

So Psyched about Sew Psyched!

I'm sporting Essie nail polish in "Sew Psyched" today. A fabulous army green colour that I'm loving for Spring! It goes on perfectly with two coats and hasn't chipped once in 24 hours which we all know is a feat in itself.

Sorry about the poor quality picture. The phone on my camera isn't the greatest!

Tried this colour yet? Want to?

Wake Up Sleepy Head

Because sometimes early mornings are such a drag and because sometimes putting on makeup can feel cakey instead of light and refreshing.... New Almay Wake Up Hydrating Makeup is a nice new addition to my morning routine. I'll admit, the way this powder feels when you put it on takes a little getting used to. It feels damp compared to other loose powders but after I applied it a couple of times I started to really like it. It feels like it actually sticks to your face which in return will create better coverage. It also does have a great "wake me up" feel to it since it feels so refreshing. I'm liking this new spin on powder. How about you?

Kiss Me I'm (part) Irish

It's St. Patrick's day and in the name of St. Patricks day beauty I have decorated my nails in what I believe to be the best possible nail polish to wear on this day.

This picture doesn't show the true brightness of this shade, but trust me, it's over the top Irish perfection.... and although today is probably the only day of the year I would ever consider wearing this colour, I am thoroughly enjoying it every time I glance down at my nails.

Confession

I'm a Dressaholic.... I know for some girls it's shoes... for others it's purses... for me it's 100% dresses. When I'm looking for shoes, purses or any other item I'm cautious, I search for a good deal, I'm picky. But when I find a dress I love all bets are off. Rational thinking out the door. I have to have!!!

I discovered this site Modcloth.com and I can't express my delight over the dress options this site has to offer. No matter the occasion, no matter your style, this site will have a dress for EVERYONE. There are so many adorable things to choose from.

I'm swooning over these little numbers:

The LBD

Picnic-ing

OvaThe Shoulda

Party Dress

Tied With A Bow

Cloudy Day

Ivory Dream

Mad Men

Designer Inspired

I fell in love with Kate Hudsons Marc Jacobs Resort 2011 Collection dress on the cover of Elle in November. This site has a knockoff which is also very cute!

A couple of the items are out of stock but you can sign up on the website to be notified when they are back in stock!

Currently trying to control my online shopping urge.

Wish me luck!

Craving The Heat?

I hate to talk about the weather. I feel like its a very overly common topic of conversation lately... around March when we are all terribly sick of winter and dying for the first signs of Spring. Well here you go:

If you liked Beyonce Heat you will LOVE Beyonce Heat Rush. They have similarities but Heat Rush is a more fresh, light, sweet, tropical version of the two. You can really smell the delicious blood orange notes and sticking with the trend of how popular the colour orange is right now (with everything from lipstick to clothes) the bottle makes a great display item. Need to find a dress the same colour as the one Beyonce is wearing in this ad!

Lovely! Sexy! Spicy!

Sure some people may have a negative view towards Playboy and probably wont take a second glance at the new Playboy perfumes... but those people will be missing out. I personally choose to ignore that negative side of Playboy and focus on the positive..... the positive being the cute bunny logo and now these ADORABLE fragrances, which to my surprise and I'm sure others as well, smell AMAZING! I was a fan of the Playboy colognes and body sprays, giving them to guys I know and now I'm an even bigger fan of these three new perfumes because I get to wear them!

There isn't too much difference between the three scents, Play It Lovely, Play It Sexy and Play It Spicy, which makes them all equally great. I do however wish they lasted longer (I like to be able to smell my perfume all day long) but for the $25 price point they are worth it. They are also small enough to tote along in a gym bag or your purse to reapply. If you aren't a fan of sweet, flowery scents you will be a fan of these. They are sweet and spicy with an exotic twist. They are available now at drugstores and mass retailers across Canada.

Fragrance Of Champions

I recently gave this new Davidoff Champion cologne to my man. He's a sporty guy who also loves working out. I loved seeing how excited he got over this cologne bottle. I also really loved smelling it on him. Champion features notes of bergamot, lemon, clary sage, galbanum, oak moss and cedar. A great gift idea for an athletic guy.

"You Can Stand Under My $175 Umbrella"

How much is too much to spend on an umbrella?
To be honest I haven't really given this question much thought... I don't think umbrellas are too high up on anyones shopping list. I have a cute pink and white polka dot umbrella that I've been satisfied with...untill now.... I just discovered Raindrops in Toronto's website which featured Umbrellas by Guy de Jean. Now spending $175 on an umbrella doesn't seem so crazy. I'm in love. Check them out below and for more details check out the website - www.raindropsto.com

This pink one is #1 on my list!

How cute would these be to use if it rained on your wedding day??

Love these cage umbrellas they use on Gossip Girl :)

Okay, so maybe I can't justify spending this much on an umbrella just yet.... but one day
