Humpday Helper: Websites I Heart
So here are some websites that I personal love, check them out if they’re not already on your radar!
Possessionista – Hate when you see someone wearing something you love on one of your favorite shows and you wish you knew what it was and wear you can purchase the exact same thing or something comparable? Now you can find out!
Rent the Runway – I’ve never actually rented anything from here, but I think it is genius and am looking to do so for my next event!
Pinterest - Obvi, make sure to follow me!
Bulk Foods – Any of my friends from college know I love all of the goodies on this site and love them even more when they are sent from Jared, especially Oriental Mix and Haribo Gummi Strawberries, yum.
Houzz – It’s similar to Pinerest, but just for your house!
Folica – I’m sure you know by now that I think this site is the best to purchase any hair tools and products from.
The 25 Funniest Autocorrects of 2012 – I could read these over and over for a good laugh.
Zagat - Jared and I are big foodies, we live by this guide.
Forever21 – I score so many fun pieces from the website, much better than searching through the actual store!
Dog Shaming – Could anything be cuter or funnier? I think not.

Liquid Lipsticks
Hi everyone!
So a new trend that’s been popping up in the lipstick world are liquid lipsticks which go on like a gloss, but have the end look of a traditional lipstick, or even lip stain. These offer a lightweight texture, with long lasting color and shine. A great thing about the trend is that an array of brands are offering a wide variety of colors, for a range of prices. Here are some that have caught my lips, I mean eyes…
Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick / YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis A Levres Glossy Stain / Stila All Day Liquid Lipstick / L’Oreal Colour Riche Aqua Lacquer Lipgloss / Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar

Fashion Friday: Yigal Azrouel
Happy Friday!!
I had the pleasure of attending a killer fashion show by the talented Yigal Azrouel last night at my local Saks. It was so much fun to see the edgy designs up close (of course it looking completely different on the models than it would on me), alongside friends, AND even on a school night! Hey hey!
We were able to see new pieces from both of his collections: Cut25 by Yigal Azrouel and Yigal Azrouel. They both included such amazing dresses and jackets, such as these two: Cut25 Micro Checker-Knit Dress (the yellow) and Yigal Azrouel Paisley Jacquard Dress (the blue)…do you love or what?!
At the end of the show, we also had a chance to meet the incredibly talented (and easy on the eyes!) designer!
Have a great weekend!

Take a Brow
I was ecstatic when I learned that MAC was coming out with a brow line, The Stylish Brow. The line consists of three new products with colors that match your hair color making it easy to color match, don’t you love it when companies make it easy on you? The line consists of…
Brow Duo: A pairing of complimentary powders that can be used separately or blended together to create the perfect color for your brows. Available in Blonde, Redhead, and Brunette. Use with MAC’s 208 Small Angled Brow Brush for application.
Fluidline Brow Gelcreme: Think of it as a gel eyeliner for your brows, which goes on super smooth and sets quickly and almost like a powder. Available in Dirty Blonde, Deep Dark Brunette, and Redhead. Once again, use with MAC’s 208 Small Angled Brow Brush for precise application.
Veluxe Brow Liner: An amazing liner that glides on, turns to a powder finish when applied and includes a brow wand on the opposite end to allow you to blend easily. Available in Strawberry Blonde, Redhead, Brunette, Deep Brunette, and Deep Dark Brunette.
So what did I go with? It was a hard decision, but I opted with the Veluxe Brow Liner in Deep Dark Brunette and I love it!!

Humpday Helper: Liquid Liner
Wishing there was something that could make using liquid eyeliner easier? Tired of fun makeup tools being so pricey? Alas, I introduce to you the perfect gadget that is cheap and helpful! Behold the NYX Cosmetics The Curve Liner!
It has a curved shape making it easy to hold as well as apply. It contains a felt tip black liner and is universal for both left and right handed application.
Creating a cat eye look has never been so easy!

Golden Globes Glamour
I love that award season is upon us! I’m a huge movie buff and I am of course drooling over all of the fashion, so what’s not to love? Well, Lea Michele’s tan for starters, but let’s focus on the looks I loved…
Plunging Black: Many celebs were in black on Sunday and a couple of leading ladies really took a plunge!
I absolutely loved Katharine McPhee’s dress, as well as her hair and makeup!
Allison Williams can do no wrong in my book (and you should have seen her from the side and back) and when does Sofia actually look bad? It just isn’t fair…
Light Mermaids: We saw a lot of light colors on the red carpet, whites and pale pinks, as well as mermaid cuts. My faves were Amy Adams and it pains me to say it since I typically can’t stand her, but Hayden Panettiere didn’t look too shabby (def the best I’ve ever seen her).
Glitz & Glamour: I love to see a little hardware at an award show and Julianne Hough and Isla Fisher were both edgy and sexy!
Regal Red: I love seeing some color on the carpet and these ones really stood out in the crowd!
Jennifer Garner looked effortlessly gorgeous for hubby Ben’s big night, J. Law’s gown was subjective in the bust department, but it really was glamorous (and I loved the belt), and finally Naomi Watts looked berry stunning in her cutout gown that fit her like a glove!
Black & Gold: Classic and chic black with a twist!
Loving Kate Hudson and happy to see Nicole Kidman look simply stunning!
Honorable Mention: I just wanted to add that Kristen Bell looked beautiful, I only wish I could look like this when I am pregnant!
Hair & Makeup: As much as I think she’s annoying, Jessica Alba’s hair and makeup were flawless!! Why can’t I look like this? Sigh…
I hope you enjoyed the show and fashion as much as I did!
