Hey Dolls!
Love love love music... I'm sure all of you can say the same! I was going through my cell phone and I came across some super adorable pics I had of Lady Gaga. Music is such an inspiration to my life. It's an escape of reality that embraces me and keeps me feeling alive and beautiful and loved. Not that I don't feel that in real life, but it's just so different. I know you all understand!
On top of the fact she can sing her tush off, and write music that relates to my life, she has the most fab sense of style. It bleeds her personality and how she is feeling which really gets me to relate to her and love her so much!
Okay lets be real here... Lady Gaga? She's amaaaazzing! I know I know she's a little different... BUT she's REAL! She's Lady Gaga all day everyday no matter who is watching, who is publishing, who is taping, who is photographing... etc. You catch my drift. She doesn't care what negative people have to say about her, all she cares about is her fans being happy and her music being heard. Aside from her personality, yes I love her style. She's raunchy and dirty (in a good way) and her clothes define how she is feeling, and who she is on the inside. Some people really cant put that together. Some people really cant wear things that show who they are... they're afraid to commit to themselves for fear of what others will think. I get it, nowadays you cant step out of your house without being critiqued - but like Gaga, WHO CARES?! You are you, no one else lives your life and looks at you day in and day out when the doors are closed, but you! So for that simple reason, you need to be you. People will always have something to say, but if you love yourself regardless of what they have to say thats what matters most! Your sense of style can truly define how you are feeling or what you are all about. Originality is key and the only way that is possible is if you put your own touch to it! I love how Gaga possesses that quality and shows that to us in every way she can, even if it's through her meat dresses and bows!

| ME as Lady Gaga for Halloween 2010 |
I actually was Lady Gaga for Halloween. I wasn't even going to dress up, but something clicked in my head that I need to be a little more fun and put myself outside the box instead of this quiet sophisticated girl. I did the best I could ;)
My hair was down most of the night, but I was hot and tired as the night went on so I rolled my hair (aka wig) in a bun and pinned it.
My "sunglasses", I made them myself. I purchased these oversized glasses from a halloween store and purchased these rhinestone kinda things from a craft store and hot glued them on top of the lenses. I burned myself a few times, but I got the job done! Everyone loved them!!
My bodysuit was from another costume, not a Gaga one. It was from this rockstar outfit, but it totally went well with my theme so it was a given to purchase!
I also drew the lightening bolt over my eye (as she does it), but since I had my sunglasses on most of the night, I don't have any pics with it visible.
The glove, can you see it? I was a black glove with spikes on it... loved it the moment I saw it, perfect Gaga accessory!
My stockings have holes in them, but not on purpose. I actually was putting them on and as I stretched them up they ripped. I havent worn stockings since maybe 5th grade, I didnt know what I was doing. haha Even though they ripped, it still went well with the look I was going for! Amen for that!
Holy wig! It was such a pain in the tush to find a platinum blonde wig WITH a platinum blonde bow! Seeing as I put this WHOLE outfit together 2 days before Halloween, I had barely any opportunity to find the right stuff! Everything was sold out. I managed to find the wig at a halloween store and the bow at Claires. Claires is an accessory store for primarily a younger generation, but they had some awesome stuff! No idea what made me go in there to see if they had a bow, nonetheless a bow to match the platinum blonde wig I already purchased! I was ecstatic!!
As for my shoes, I wore regular black stilettos that I had tucked away for this kind of night. Haha. They had some shine to them and totally meshed with the rest of my ensemble!
What do you think ladies?! Did I do OK? Haha It's a far cry from my everyday look, but something to remember!!
XO!

Hey Dolls!
I want to tell you about my latest obsessions! I have TONS of obsessions, but the latest are super fun and cute and I can't help but share!
This is my Louis! I got it for Christmas this past year (2010) and he's my favoritest ever! I LOVE BIG BAGS! Call me the bag lady if you will, but I do not mind wearing oversized purses! They are my obsession and I can't help it! I am that girl who carries EVERYTHING with her so oversized bags are a super must!
Okay seriously, if you do not own this, PLEASE go out and buy it now! I have been wearing Dollymix for-EVER! I can't imagine my life without it! I honestly can't compare this to any other blush because it's all I wear! I will say that I wore a blush (last night for the first time) that is part of a limited edition palette from Sephora and it was suuper cute, but doesn't compare at ALL to this! I love it because it's the perfect pink to your cheeks and you can either wear it as a light pink or a hot pink- for day or night. Amazing for all skin types too! I'm usually really light in the winter and tan in the summer- I wear it year round! Ladies, if you purchase it or already own it, let me know how you like it!
Where do I start? Ok, so... I barely have any eyelashes! I don't know why, either! All my life I've been eyelash deprived! So after going through tons of the 'drugstore' brand mascaras, I gave in to spending $24.50 on DiorShow! DiorShow gets summed up in one word: FAB! Why is DiorShow "FAB!" well because it worked WONDERS on my eyelashes, all like 10 of them! (okay I know I have more then 10, I'm just exaggerating - ha!) I love the fact that it gives volume, and length, and really made me feel like I had a million eyelashes! So after wearing DiorShow for about 2 years, I was just looking for something similar, not as expensive, and can make me feel the way I feel about DiorShow. Setting myself up for failure, I began my journey. I tested soooooo many mascaras and I was just NOT happy! I couldn't find anything to give me what I wanted... I just wanted my eyelashes to look like I have a million... is that too hard to ask? Out of NOWHERE Benefit BADgal Lash popped from the shelf to my eye! I was just looking at Benefit products at Sephora and noticed the brush itself. It looked super similar to DiorShow and I was intrigued. I tried it on and batted my eyes, and that was it, it came home with me! It's my the newest addition to my lovely makeup collection and I'm so inlove! I miss my DiorShow because I'm so used to looking at it, although it makes me feel great to save $5.50 and still have exactly what I'm used to! I dont mind spending money on beauty products, I truly dont, but if I can save a penny, why not?!
I was never really a lip gloss girl... I always lick it off. I have a bad habit of doing that! Lipsticks usually work better with me because they arent typically "glossy" and hardly taste yummy to make me want to lick it off. haha- typing this makes me laugh, because I never really admitted to the fact that I eat my lipgloss LOL! This Lip Fusion is a lip plumper and it's super fab! I purchased Nars Turkish Delight and it tasted terrible (going back to me licking my lipgloss off) and I just couldn't stomach it- plus my lips are a rose color and the light pink-ness of Turkish Delight made me look kinda funny. I went back to Sephora to exchange it and a makeup artist helped me find this one! It tastes yummy and looks GREAT on my lips! I wear it all the time, even going to the grocery store! I don't mind the minor tingling it gives me once I put it on and for alittle while after, either! I can say that it doesn't really make my lips look any bigger or "puffier." It just tastes, looks, and feels good! It's alittle pricey at $29.00, but definitely worth it for me! Oh! And I surprisingly don't lick it off!
I LOVEEEEE THIS FOUNDATION! I was on a hunt for a new foundation that gives a medium to build-able full coverage and this was just it! I was previously wearing Hourglass in #5. Hourglass is a great foundation, but I don't miss it! Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich is perfect for my dry skin! I am also using self tanner so my skin tone on my face is alittle off from time to time and this has made my skin look like a porcelain doll! It gives my skin the hydration it needs and keeps it soft and put together in every single way! It makes me feel like I'm not wearing anything while giving me the coverage I want (because I can control it). Also, it's only $45.00 compared to the $60.00 I was paying for Hourglass!
I want to tell you about my latest obsessions! I have TONS of obsessions, but the latest are super fun and cute and I can't help but share!
