thursday night in

everything about this photo is absolutely amazing. from the crazy deer ring to the amazing shade of nail polish, everything about this is getting me pumped for spring!! how longer do i have to wait?

the fancy

line

i love when people take fashion risks, and it's always fun to read about another person's hesitations. one of the most satisfying parts of personal style is overcoming your fears and rocking a look you love. this blogger from feed your style (great blog, check it out) pulled off this incredibly ballsy blue line, inspired by the beauty at chanel spring 2011. it looks absolutely stunning!

bird's nest

this beautiful photo kind of makes me wish a little bit that i still had long hair. i really love messy updos, and this hair ornament is absolutely beautiful and elegant.

white hair?

extreme hair color has always appealed to me, without a doubt. pink and white are the hair colors that im actually drawn to the most, but i have always been to scared to take the leap myself. i love how effortlessly this girl pulls of white hair, that took some serious balls, and it looks so beautiful!

mmmmmarion

marion cotillard is basically the most beautiful woman on earth right now, as far as i'm concerned. i love how this cover shows how make up can both transform and enhance a face. plus, i'm a sucker for dark lipstick.

break the rules

most people will flat out tell you that blue eyeshadow is a bad idea. since one of my simple pleasures is regularly breaking fashion and beauty rules, i was thrilled to see blue eye makeup as a trend on the rise.

i originally headed over to mark. to pick up their smooch-proof lipstain that i read about on stylecaster. while i was there i also bought color cream in cabana. it seems to be the perfect shade! i'm even toying with the idea of wearing the two together for one super glam evening, a la christian dior spring 2010. plus a shot of the lovely chanel iman to prove it's not just for those fair blonde girls.

beauty inspiration

wearing makeup every day can get pretty boring if you do the same thing every day. it's always good to get constant inspiration so that your look never gets tired. here are some photos that inspire new beauty decisions for me lately.

hot hot hot

i had a terrible accident involving my favorite bottle of pink nail polish, broken glass, and my thumb, after which i swore off pink for a little while out of spite.

but now, after months and months, i found myself missing it very much, UNTIL i found the most unreal shade of pink!

i now work for american eagle in their visual lab store, and yesterday i spent the afternoon working in the aerie lab. there, i saw a shade of pink made by essie exclusively for aerie, called aerie flirt. i couldn't find a photo of it anywhere online, but trust me, it is BRIGHT.

essie made a few other exclusive colors for aerie, but this one is really special. sorry i don't have a photo, but you can check it out for yourself at any aerie store. if you're craving a bright nail color for summer, this will definitely do the trick.

can't you see?

braid mania

one of my standby hairstyles now that my hair is long is any form of the braid. this hairstyle is totally easy, it's really the only thing my hair will cooperate with. so obviously i was thrilled to read in the most recent copy of vogue that the trend continues to go strong.

beautiful stuff

one of the biggest trends in beauty this year, thanks to chanel's fall 09 runway show was the much sought after shade of JADE.

according to style.com bottles of this stuff are going on ebay for like $100.

now obviously i coveted this nail color myself, but had resolved to wait (probably about a year, if not longer) for the color to show up in drug store cheap-o brands.

BUT! american apparel came to my rescue. i didn't even know they made nail polish, but i picked up their lacquer for $6! the shade is called OFFICE. excellent.

manic beauty

the trend in everything this fall seems to be extreme, pushing limits, over the top and to the edge.

beauty is no exception. check out some of my favorite extreme beauty moments in editorial for this season.
