GUCCI GOLD GLAMOUR

God gave us life, but GUCCI gave us the goodness. That is to be said of the Spring 2012 runway show in Milan, where Frida Giannini (GUCCI's creative director) out-did herself as always. This awe-inspiring show, displayed everything that the mega design house is know for; all things glamorous and fabulous 101. With intricate palette of black and gold, the Spring 2012 runway was a dazzle of lux dresses and outfits that calls for a traffic stopping moment. My favorite by far was the fact that each models hair pretty much matched the scheme of the whole line for the show. Now that's a glamazon moment for you :)

BABY GLOW- QUEEN B

HAVING A BABY NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD. Almost makes me want to have one (ahh ahh NOT). But she looks so beautiful. :) CONGRATS TO THE Queen B.

GRAPE-ING GORGEOUS

Here's something new i just read. So apparently grapes have become more than just a really healthy snack. Now its considered as a natural cleanser (yahhhhh au natural). According to an article published in FITNESS MAGAZINE, grapes may be used as a gentle exfoliating substances. Well the article advise that you can use the grape pulps, which contain tartaric and malic acids, to gently cleans and refresh the skin. Hmmmmmm sounds  like a yummy idea to me.

FACIAL TIP -: Mash a handful of grapes in a bowl and rub into skin. Leave for 15 mins then rinse. Free radical fighting resveratrol, which is found in grapes,  have been shown to help fight against environmental damage and boost radiance. 

Fall 2011 + Giambattista Valli = LOVE

I absolutely love LOVE everything this man do with fabrics. Every piece is like a work of art going down the runway. Its almost breath-taking for me just to watch the video. Chances are I really can't afford anything, but a girl can always dream right! I mean that is what fashion is for. I can dream and relish in all my fantasies of beautiful gowns and garments, while purchasing the ones i can afford that still looks fabulous. Fall 2011 is looking pretty darn good to me so far :)  bisou bisou

Extend an OLIVE Branch - HAIR CARE TIPS

I hate, hate, hates it when my hair looks dry, feels dry, and just absolutely a mess. One thing i can say definitely save me and my hair sanity is  extra virgin OLIVE OIL. I don't know what life would ever be like without it. I mean really. I cook with it and now I use it in my hair. Just a few tiny drops after a wash, and that's all I need. That and conditioner of course. But really its absolutely amazing for smoothing the hair cuticle leaving hair looking less dry and damage.

For relaxed, chemically treated hair, a teaspoon rubbed in palms and added to hair is great to add to your hair regimen.

For fine damage hair, just a tiny drop added to hair ends is all you need. Too much will make hair look flat, greasy and lifeless.

LAGERFELD Impluse

Fashion entices my every being. My blood rushes and i almost gets this intensive high when i see something beautiful, well made, and drop dead fabulous. That being said, fashion however does not entices my wallet. Its never easy to shell out thousands of dollars on any designer piece. Especially  high fashion like Chanel. Fortunately the god of the fashion realm himself, Karl Lagerfeld answers the call of many recessionistas who wants to inject a little high fashion in their DNA.

BRUSH RAVE

Stippling brushes are by far one of the most under-rated make-up brushes out there. The bristles, especially those that are duo fiber gives foundation application a flawless finish while providing a light airy feeling. The bristles are perfect because it doesn't soak up as much foundation as a regular foundation brush but somehow manages to provide seamless coverage.

Personal Favorite: E.L.F Studio Stipple Brush ($3.00)

Cheap and easy to use. Its prefect to use for light coverage.

Its also can be used to apply the lightest blush application on the

apples of you cheek. :)
