e.l.f. nail polish in Fire Coral ($1) It's so sad when the only thing you can do to remind yourself of nicer weather is change your nail polish.....

I'm a day late and a dollar short but dammit, I'm gonna wish Lucy Lawless a belated Happy Birthday!!! Cause you know what my childhood would have been without Hercules and then Xena back to back on Saturdays and Sundays? Much less kick ass. And with much less eye candy in the form of the late (and very much missed) Kevin Smith....

I know one shouldn't wear full Forever21 outfits. But that doesn't mean I won't :) Forever 21+ (plus size) dress, sweater, & earrings ~ Steve Madden boots ~ Urban Outfitters belt This posing business is hard work - and I've just started! And it was too cold and too chilly to be up on the roof without a coat [[brrrr]] I mentioned that I liked Forever 21 right?...

This makeup was supposed to look like something specific.  And it has now turned out quite specifically wrong. Sigh. ...

Soooo. My hair. My hair that for most of my younger years was the bane of my existence. I just didn't know what to do with it! It frizzed out most of the time and if it wasn't in braids in highschool that meant something spectacularly special was going on. Cause that girl with the pony tail braid everyday? Totally me.  Luckily in college I read in a magazine somewhere the following advice :  "Like...

In case you haven't noticed, if the time is right and you're over at my house I'm probably going to ask you if I can do your makeup. Even if I never end up doing it professionally or part-time I still enjoy working with other people and seeing what I can do. And luckily my friends are cool enough that they let me play around without judging. Cause you know what sucks? Judging. This time around...

Hmm. I hesitate to post these anymore as one of the blogs I follow just had her own chambray shirt post today and it's a much more put together outfit than mine. F*ck it. I'm still working on the OOTD (outfit of the day) thing and if you don't try you never get better right? At least I'm able to say that with my new camera these day pictures turned out well - especially the close-up macro shots....

So in case you haven't heard the news let me just go ahead and share this greatness with you: after 6 years Kodansha USA is going to release brand new deluxe editions of the Sailor Moon manga! Starting in September you're going to be able to get your hands on new copies of this very much iconic anime, a show and character that's well known to pretty much everyone. I mean, who doesn't recognize good...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! While I (due to job stuff) was not able to work green into my outfit day, I hope each one of you out there in cyber land is keeping Ireland in your hearts! One of my most favorite life experiences are the 6 weeks I spent there one summer in college. I learned a lot and saw so much more than I could have ever expected.  To help everyone commemorate this grand day though...

Hit: I think I found a new concealer from Sephora - Kat Von D's Tattoo Concealer in Almond (I'm still trying the sample - I'll let you know) Miss: The SA (sales associate) who helped me in Sephora had SERIOUS bitch-face which made my shopping experience less enjoyable. Miss: The SA at MAC was also annoying. Who tells a customer that 'MAC products are made to work best only with other MAC skin care...

1. This is the first time I've done bottom lashes.2. This is the first time I've tried to create a mask over half my face.3. This look required so many products it just wasn't worth it to me to list them all. Just in case you guys think that last point is a joke, let me just tell you I'm completely serious. I was basing this of LetzMakeup's carnival mask (see embedded video below) and it turned into...

I think it was Mimi from Makeup Withdrawal who suggested pairing lime green with my new favorite blue shadow, MAC's Clarity. I hadn't thought of it truthfully, because who really thinks about lime green and bright blue? It doesn't really matter I guess, because either way I said screw it and a few weekends ago played around and came up with this look. A bit random to say the least, and probably...
