Designers JustinTimberlake and Trace Ayala created a fashion line, William Rast, and had some items at Target, and they finally went on sale so I picked up a really cute military inspired top.  They are having a great sale by the way, check the pictures below.

Clog into Spring!!

Hey Guys,

So as we all know, Spring is right around the corner and I am so excited to ditch this cold weather and the fashion that goes along with it and enjoy Spring! My recent posts have been primarily dedicated to anything dealing with Spring because I am only shopping for Spring items.  So, during the summer of 2010 we enjoyed wedges and they were the thing for spring and summer, and clogs were hot, but I predict them to be right up there with wedges for spring/summer of 2011.

We were able to also enjoy clogs in the winter, whether they were boots or fur-trimmed clogs. To get us ready for spring, check out these clogs that I am eyeing for my next purchase.  As you can see, clogs come in many colors and styles, from pinks to browns, from girlie to military.  A very versatile shoe. What do you guys think about the Clog trend? Will you dare to own a pair?

Video: Forever 21 & Ulta Haul

As promised, here is the video of the Forever 21 & Ulta haul that I previewed with pictures in a previous post.  Enjoy!

Jeans for Spring

Like I told you guys before, I am starting to shop for spring and summer.  As I have been shopping I have noticed a trend in certain items for the spring such as with the jeans.  This spring, it looks as though the skinny jean is still in but with bold colors, not your typical "indigo".  Also, it looks like flared jeans are making a come back, think the styles back in the 70s.  Take a look at some of the jeans I am thinking about buying:

Pink Skinny Jeans

Sailor Styled Flares

5 Pocket Flares

Stone Wash Skinny Jeans

Classic White Skinny Jeans

Hey Guys!

Here is a green make up look that I did using my UD palettes, including The Black Palette.  Check it out and let me know what you guys think!

D&G 2010/2011 Fur Boot

Sooo, I was watching D&G's Fall/Winter 2010/2011 fashion show and all the models wore these tall knee high fur boots with like a 4inch heel.  I fell in love immediately...until I went to the website and saw that they costs $1870.00!

I was still determined to find a cheaper alternative of this boot, and saw some, finally, on Victoria's Secret's website! Check them out below, first the D&G ones and then the cheaper alternatives!  Which ones do you guys like better? I'm leaning toward the Guess ones!

D & G Boot $1870 (US dollars)

These are a 4 inch heel made of Rabbit Fur, Buffalo, Goatskin, and Lambskin.

Colin Stuart @ victoriassecret.com $69.99 (US dollars)

These are 4 inch heels with a 1 inch platform made of faux fur.

Guess @ victoriassecret.com $225 (US dollars)

These are 4 inch heels made of faux fur.

Natural Hair Care Regimen!

Hey Guys!!

So, I made a video (will be uploaded in a couple of days) about my hair care regimen when I wear my hair natural.  It really does not consists of anything special, I just like to do it this way to keep my hair healthy and strong when I decide to straighten it.  I typically give myself one week of flat ironed hair and then one to two weeks natural in the fall and winter time.

When it starts to be humid out, during the late spring and summer months, I typically do not straighten my hair nor add any heat to my hair...I wear it natural.  Below are a picture of my staple products that I am using currently on my hair (I love hair products, so I typically change hair products within 2 months!)  When I straighten my hair I will be sure to update you guys on hair products that I use at that time!

So what products do you guys use on your hair? What's your regimen????

Urban Decay: The Black Palette

Hey Guys! In my Nicki Minaj Pink Friday make up tutorial I used the UD Black Palette and also featured it in my first haul video, but I did not really do any swatches on what the colors look like.  Sooooo, here it is! I did some swatches of the colors included in the palette...Enjoy!

From left to right: Black Dog, Barracuda, Jet, Sabbath, Cobra, and Libertine

From the swatches you can tell the all of the colors have a black undertone to them.  To describe them in more detail: Black Dog is your basic black. Barracuda is a black with a grayish undertone to it. Jet is a deep purple color. Sabbath is a deep blue color.  Cobra is a goldish black color. Libertine is a greenish black color.

Dr. Scholl's Fast Flats!!

I’m the type of girl who loves to wear 4 inch or higher heels when I go out. I love the height that they give me,but I hate the way my feet feel after walking, dancing, and standing in them all night.  It is not uncommon to see me barefoot walking to my car with my cute heels in my hand…yeah I know what your thinking…GROSS!

While in Target, I was walking around the foot care aisle (I don’t know exactly what it is called, but it is where they have all the pedicure things) and I saw Dr. Scholl's Fast Flats.  At first I was like, whatever, these are sooo a waste of money.  But as I read and looked at them closer they seemed to be the perfect solution to my tired and beat up feet at the end of the night.  Check them out! I took some photos of them, they come in black in different sizes along with a gold cute wristlet that fits easily in your purse, or you could carry it alone!
