Midtown Madness

This weekend I had family come up from Ohio~ two of which had never been to New York before. After arriving at 4pm Friday Afternoon, we decided to grab some dinner at Bravo!Nader in Huntington Village and catch a movie. We ended up seeing "Bad Teacher" with Cameron Diaz. It was hysterical! I would absolutely see it again.

Justin Timberlakes character was so over the top at times I could not control my laughter. He was like an innocent nerd-closet freak and it was great!

:Sympatico-Erotico: See the movie and you will TOTALLY get that!

Anywho.... Saturday we went over to the Deer Park outlet mall where I LOADED UP on all things Bath and Body Works, checked out the Juicy Couture and Betsy Johnstore stores and a few other decent sales.

That evening, we had gotten tickets to see a little off-broadway comedy musical at the Ha! Comedy Club off of 46th and 7th Avenue.

It was filled with adult woman humor about sex, love,lust,marriage,divorce,menopause,babies,eating,NOTeating,being bitchy and celebrating all things woman!

My younger cousins were there for the show, but I think it was a little too adult for them. However, Mom and I laughed our butts off!

If it travels- it is definitely something you and your girlfriends should go see! (Bachelorette parties!!!!!)

 After the show, we decided to partake in a bit of tourism & showed my younger cousins around Times Square and 42nd Street. We went to the Barbie Dream House inside of the giant Toys R' Us, followed by a trip to the M&M store & Ripley's Believe it or Not. We also made a pitstop at FOREVER 21 and I found some adorable jewelry and a summer hat that were all to die for..






Retro Owl Necklace, Forever 21 ($3)



Owl Peeper Earrings from Forever 21



I have a small obsession with Owl jewelry:)





Summer Hat from Forever 21 ($10.80)

Seeing as the top of my head ALWAYS gets sunburned when I go to the beach, park, etc. I got this abnoxiously large hat and I love it! 

#1 reason to go and not to go to Manhattan:

Great deals----Great deals then lead to excessive money spending!!



Who else loses their self control to a good sale???

Yellow Kitty!

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend with their papas~!

Mine is in Ohio but lots of love sent their way on Fathers Day!!!

So now that we are closing the gap and approaching::officially:: Summer- I wanted to try out some new yellow polish.

I kept seeing commercials for the Sally Hansen Salon Manicur polish, whichh is supposed to have it all!  Base coat- strengthener, nail growth treatment, color and top coat! ::phew!::

So I picked some up at Walgreens:)

I love to put a little fun into my nails and tend to always do some sort of nail art.
I used my MatteElite in Solid Silver and did straight stripes and diagnal stripes on all of my fingers.

Love the Yellow too! It's called YELLOW KITTY ::too cute!::

I think that yellow and gold are going to be big colors for me this summer as I embrace lighter colors and jewel tones.

I am fully obsessed with some of the top designers summer collections.

Dolce & Gabbana

I love roses and I love yellow and golds together. D&G has definitely got it right with these summer dresses!

What do you think??



Rodarte

As a summer baby, I fully appreciate some of the mellow-ness in the Spring/Summer 2011 Rodarte line. Incorporating [what I see as] a taste of the 1960's and early 1970's into these looks is definitely interesting. The shoes are killer and I want them SO bad! Plus i sort of love the little cuff on the arm!



Victoria Beckham

The bold shade of purple used in the Victoria Beckham frock is GORGEOUS! I cannot get enough! 

The summer lines are killing it and I cannot wait to go shopping!

LoveMeSomeCountry

I fully intended to post this last week and totally forgot!!!!!!!! Here are some of my FAVORITES from the CMT Awards!!!!!!!! Check them out

For those of you who missed it... The Country Music Awards was yesterday and I have to comment!

First off, "That Should Be Me" collaboration with Justin Bieber and Rascal Flatts is by far one of my favorites of this year! I could listen to it on repeat for hours...

Poor Shania Twain..... She took a little stumble on her way up stage, but she kept her classy-cool ;-)

Also in attendance was a certain One Tree Hill actress that all OTH fans hated and have grown to love..

Alex to OTH fans, Jana Kramer to the country scene. Her voice is soft and feathery with a hint of that certain POP music somethin'.... I love her sound! Check out her song " I Won't Give Up".. You will love it!

Love this dress

This show just makes everyone want to be  a country singer!!!

Comment and tell me who's look you loved the most!!

As you can see in the photo- my nails are GREEN! and  I am so-so-soooooooo obsessed!

1. Apply one coat of Sinful Colors in Mint Apple and let dry.
2. Select two or three nails to apply your OPI- suttle yet fabulous- Glitter shade " Last Friday Night".
3. Apply one or two coats[ depending on how much you like glitter]. I applied one coat since I was in a hurry.

Now the toesies.

1.)  Applying two coats of Revlon in Gold Get 'Em-let polish try after each coat.

Yankee's First Timer

So~ I went to my first NY Yankee Game this passed Sunday.. I ate more then I EVER have! They had southern BBQ food and Ice cream and beer everywhere I looked! it was insane!

I stuck with a bbq chicken sandwich, hush puppies[[terrible terrible idea]] and finished it off with Light Lemonade and at the end of the game I got an ice cream cone from Carvel..

Our seats were pretty close to the field, which was neat. We were in the bleachers so it was sort of sit wherever you want~ as long as youre in the right row... All in All- it was a cool experience.. Yankee fans are a bit too intense for me. I dont know why we can't just enjoy the game... So many people just screaming like fools, trying to get a rise out of one another.. it was odd.....

Stubhub.com = the best place to get afforable tickets.. Check it out!

Polish Perfection: White On! Wednesday!

So I started this morning off with my cat running outside and me chasing  looking for him around the neighborhood... So I am definitely in an "iffy" mood.

On a positive note, my nails look awesome! I went to the store last night and got some new polishes because I love to do nail art.. I tend to stick to similar designs because I am still learning more techniques, but it is so much fun regardless.

Using my Sally Hansen- XTreme Hard as Nails in White On, Sinful Colors Nail Art polishes in Sunny Day and Me First and also Matte Elite Nail Art polish in Silver[purchased at Ricky's Beauty Supply]. I finished my nails with Revlon Super Speed Dry Clear Top Coat.

To Get This Look:

1.) Apply one coat of Sally Hansen XTreme Hard As Nails in White On

2.) Once dried, apply an additional ::light:: coat of White On

3.) Once White On is completely dry, begin with your colors. I chose to start with Sunny Day ::Pink Shade of Sinful Colors Nail Art Polish:: Begin from the cuticle or outter edge of the nail and sweep the brush in one stroke in a swirled motion. This will allow the tip of the line to be thin and curled.

4.) Repeat this sweeping method with Me First by Sinful Colors and then Silver by Matte Elite.

5.) Apply a second stroke of Me First::Yellow:: to deepen your color.

It goes on VERY light

6.) Once polish design is dry, finish with Revlon's Super Speed Dry top coat.

Tip::  test whether your nails are dry by running water over one fingernail-- if the water beads off, you are essentially dry. If it bubbles, but does not bead off- let them dry further)

_____________________________

I highly recommend a manicure corrector pen [Sally Hansen or any other brand that can be found a CVS/Walgreens/Sally's Beauty Supply/Ricky's, etc.]

I didn't have any left but am picking one up after work today...

If you dont want to spend the $6-7 on one, use a cotton swab soaked with polish remover, or the corner of a paper towel[also soaked with polish remover].


Happy Nail Polishing!

Movie.Awards.&.Mark.Monday

I know I am not the only Twi-Hard in the world that only recorded the MTV Movie Awards on my DVR to re-watch a certain preview....over & over & over!!

Need I say more!?!?!?

Absolutely not, but I'm going to anyway:)

I personally think that Taylor Lautner deserved "Best Kiss"... But what are you going to do.
Here are a few screen shots of why I cannot wait for November 18, 2011!

AHHHHHHHH ::Screams like a 12 year old!::

________________________________________________________________________

Now... Jumping over to the red carpet--

I loved Reese Witherspoons dress! Absolutely adorable in the blue and brown combo!

I also think that the well-dressed ( with perfectly highlighted tresses) Emma Watson deserved "Best Actress" over the winner in that catefory [despite my Twilight Saga obsession].. Where are all of the Harry Potter fans at!?

Get Aubrey's Look! from the MTV Movie Awards, Created by mark. Celebrity Make-up Artist Mai Quynh!!

 

Aubrey Plaza of Scott Pilgrem vs. The World 

I am all about the eye makeup done on celebrities. So the thing that caught my eye was obviously the technique and color usage used by Mai Quynh to create Aubreys look---

“I prepped Aubrey’s eyes by applying mark Please Hold Eye Primer in Light/Medium. I then used the mark All Over Eye Shadow Brush to apply mark I-mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Biscotti blended with Tiki all across her eyelid. Using the mark Angled Contour Eyeshadow Brush, I smudged Espresso into the crease of her eyelid and Tiki along her bottom lash line. To finish her eyes, I applied two coats of mark Lash Splash Hook Up Waterproof Mascara in Black.”

___________________________________________

I was feeling the need to play with my new mark. Keep it Going Longwear Eyeliner[Shadow Combo for $10] this morning and I played it up with my Gold and Green hues from my mark. On The Dot Eye Shadow Palette[$15]!

Check it out...

First I prepped my skin with my mark. Get a Tint Tinted Moisturizer in Ivory/Nude[$10].

I then dabbed mark. Get Bright Hook-Up Highlighter in Light [$6] around my nose and under my eyes to even out my skin tone.

I then applied my mark. Glowdacious Illuminating Powder[$12] to my check bones, the bridge of my nose and lightly over my forehead. This is the PERFECT summer bronzer as it has a nice shimmer and won't make you orange

Now.....Addressing my favorite feature~~~ my eyes

I lined my lower lid from the inner most point to the outter-most, along my lash line [as seen above]

Tip:: Wet your liner brush before dipping into your cream liner. It will allow for a smoother line!

Once your liner is applied, take your shadow brush and apply the gold shade from the On The Dot Palette to the entire lid ( stay away from the brow bone!)
Smudge in a bit of the green at the crease, while blending a bit into the liner at your lash line for a seamless look.

Tip:: Use a bit of the teal with your green shadow.. It will add to the depth of color and give a nicer contrast to the gold.

Once you have applied your gold and green shades, apply i-Mark in Whisper to the brow bone. You dont want to over-do the shimmer/hi-pigment look by having the white shade from your On The Dot Palette all the way up to your eyebrow.. Especially when you're going to the office....

I also like the look of a full lash, so I apply two coats of mark. Scandalash Hook-Up mascara in Blacklash[$6]..
 

To top off my earthy, yet spunky, shadow- I decided to wear my favorite summer top with my mark. Weave It to Me Belt- my new mark. summer tote and my Ibiza Sol Fragrance Spray!
