Luscious Red Lips

There is something nostalgic about bright red lips. Red lipstick is a must have accessory for vintage lovers, pinups, and girls galore.

Steps to Luscious Red Lips:

1. Before applying the perfect shade, apply liner first!

2. I love my the make-up counter at Dillard's. They always take the time to help me find the perfect red. I can rock a bright red in the winter. A dark red looks sultry with my summer tan!

3. Some of my favorite reds include, (1) MAC Ruby Woo. It’s even a fave of Dita Von Teese (per her Twitter). The color is thick and rich, blue-red, and it does not budge all day. And its only $14 USD. (2) Revlon Fire and Ice. Perfect coral red that's been around since the 50s. Silky smooth, soft, and creamy. (3) Chanel Rouge Allure Romantic 28. Darker red is perfect for tan skin tones. "An instant icon, this luxurious lipstick formula combines lustrous colour, sensational comfort and fabulous wear."

Be bold. Be daring. Be you!!

All About The Tutu

I wanted so badly to study ballet, but it was really all about wearing the tutu. - Elle Macpherson

I resisted everything girlie when I was young. I steered clear of hearts, choose tree forts and tire swings. Now, I can't get enough of all things girlie!

Here are a few of my favorite girlie pieces. Only Oscar de la Renta could make a tulle collar top both dramatic and feminine. I love this photo of Julia Robert's displaying her fun and playful side in a huge ballet-esque dress. Tiaras & Tutu's Strawberry Dreams tulle skirt is cute as a bug! Bubble gum pink with a huge rose and pink bow is perfect for the flower girl in a Spring Wedding.

Express your fun, flirty side and add something girlie to your wardrobe!

XoXo,

My Love Is Not For Sale...

Radiate ... you bait your love with money

Celebrate ... a body to behold

Generate ... a state of wild emotion

Don't waste your money , my love is not for sale

- The Bee Gees

I love sophisticated style. For decades Elizabeth Taylor has been associated with style, sophistication, and jewelry. An angelic glow radiates from a young Elizabeth. Her profile is perfectly accentuated with tear drop, rhinestone earrings. The bateau neck enhances the collar bone while the soft ivory pearls and cashmere add a touch of softness.

Signature beaded medallions are featured in the earrings handmade by Edera Jewelry. The gold and pearl combination adds warmth to cool winter days. The silk rose by hapitat is a stylish accessory! Make your wedding hair unique with an up-do finished with a large rose. Or stand apart from the crowd and wear it as a pin to your prom!

Whether you're baring your shoulders, adding a splash of gold, or topping your look with flowers, remember to accentuate your sensuality.
