MAC Monochromatic Makeup Tutorial

I'm usually not one to change things up about my appearance, not drastically anyways. But i have been doing pretty much the same makeup for about 3 years now...I'd say a change is in order. The above makeup tutorial inspired me to change things up a bit, and I loved what the outcome was! Thank you MAC.

Lately I have been working everyday, which is nice come payday, and I'm starting to feel the wear on my body. On the other hand, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love staying busy and being independent. I finally got an official car of my own(yaaaaaay!), though the bills could have stayed out of the equation, the freedom is magnificent. Tomorrow my sister and I are going into Atlanta to work at a mart fashion show as dressers for the models. I'm really excited to see what this is all about and definitely make some new connections. Hopefully this won't be a one time ordeal. Friday I'm working all day at Gap, give and get weekend=insane coupon hungry customers!

My mission this month: to get a Marc Jacobs bag, preferably this one:



and a little matching wallet. I'm also planning on getting a Calvin Klein peacoat we just got into TJMAXX, only one small left+20% off=yesssss.

Minus the bills, life is busy and so rewarding. I'm happy. and busy. and happy.

Today:

Carolina Herrera-Fall 2010 RTW

fail...

So my attempt at fixing up my blog was a complete and utter failure. I have no clue what direction I should take it in. I'm leaning towards fall's tans/blacks/reds/hunter greens. We'll see.

Also, if you haven't seen the Rachel Zoe Project...you should. My love of fashion took control today and all I could do was think about how badly I want fall to come so I can wear long coats, furs(faux furs of course), suede, chunky scarves, and BOOTS. The first hint of fall weather I'll be a happy camper.

Hope you all are having/had a good evening! I'll leave you with this:

I want these:

so bad. Gap is getting some awesome new fall items in!

I have been so bad about updating this lately, but have no fear: tomorrow I have off all day! No one could be more excited than me right now. Work has been so nice though, I don't even mind it one bit. Especially working at Gap. I could not have been more blessed than being able to work with those people. They're so awesome and inspiring. And it definitely helps having my best friend Lauren there with me! Life is pretty awesome at the moment, and I have a feeling it's going to get even better pretty soon. mmmmm.

So tomorrow I will definitely fit updating this thing into my busy schedule consisting of catching up on The Real Housewives of NJ, and a few other tv shows I'm pathetically addicted to, cleaning my mess of a "room", and taking care of myself(see my nutrition blog). Goodnight everyone! Hope life is is grand!

It's all good, take a new road and never look back

I'm ecstatically excited for my future, well my sister's future and mine. Today we submitted her to Ford Models, Elite Model Management, Click Model Management and a few others. I have such a good feeling about all of this for her! Last night our friend Zach, my sister and I went to starbucks and talked for literally an hour about how Katie(sister) needs to be a model. She has an incredible jaw line, has perfect skin and teeth, is incredibly gorgeous, eats 2000+ calories a day and is TINY. Not fair, I know. But I say, who is born with all of these model-esque qualities and doesn't take advantage of it?! So today was dedicated to applications, picture taking and editing and new dieting plans for the future(next week we start our low-carb, run 5 days a week, eat lots of greens diet!). Like I said she is tiny, but as a model tiny isn't acceptable, bone thin is normal. I'll post a few of the pictures we took today. They're definitely nothing special, but I think they're exactly right for the modeling industry.





It amazes me how God laid this all out perfectly for us too. I want to go into fashion marketing and management and be a buyer for a big company, now Katie wants to be a model. We are moving to New York and that is the end of it. Lauren and I will own a boutique and attend all of the major fashion shows(including Milan and Paris) and Katie will walk in them. Mmmm...life is grand.

red, tan, white, black=my fall wardrobe

I have been SO busy lately. My feet fell off days ago. But I wouldn't have it any other way!

Givenchy's Fall 2010 RTW collection is so beautiful, chic, classy, elegant with a little pop. I love the way the red was incorporated. If only I could do that makeup and hair everyday. Maybe, if I figure out how to make it look that clean, I'll do a tutorial. *writing down on my list of things to do on my days off*








add red tights to the fall wardrobe list. have a wonderful weekend!

I'm goin in for the kill

These are some looks I love from Lookbook a few days ago. I just made an executive decision to make this post dedicated to pictures, mostly.




These are the pants I want(and am getting on Saturday when I work) from Gap. They have AWESOME jeans...just sayin'....

Okay...pictures AND videos..video. I just cannot get enough of these two. If you haven't seen (500) Days of Summer 1. YOU'REINSANE and 2. this will make 0 sense to you.



bahahah they're my favorite and so is this movie.

if opportunity doesn't knock, build a door

I'm indecisive as to whether or not I should make this post a cliche teenage girl post full of cheesy love and motivational quotes that keep appearing on my computer screen, or...I'm not sure I'd thought about another option. I think I just decided as I was typing that I needed one. Options are nice.

Well, how about a little of both.

I work tomorrow. I have an interview at another store on Monday, as the desperation for more hours continues. Life just keeps piling more and more things(situations, rather) on my plate. I feel as though I'm either going to crack or come out with a new shiny coating. Hopefully, the latter. I am starting to miss my independence from being at school. Although my parents have never been ones to set curfews, they would definitely rather not hear me stroll in at 3am. Random thought: prom is SO overrated. The dress, the money, the date, the dancing, the dinner, the pressure after the fact. To me, it was just not worth it. I loved dancing, with Lauren(we both literally ditched our dates and danced with each other(you'd have to understand our predicaments)), but I didn't think it was worth the hype, nor the light feeling my wallet began to experience. Rant, rant, rant, I know. I'll quit.





Goodnight! xoxox

uh-Merica

Tonight was definitely the best 4th of july thus far. Parks+fireworks+no guys.

Sometimes it takes times of crisis to realize who is really there for you. I don't know what I would do without my sister. This picture's for you Kate. Love you!
