Oscar Hair & Makeup 2012

Beauty

This year, the Oscars were full of gorgeous hair styles and beautiful makeup looks. In terms of hair; what ruled on the red carpet were soft waves, sleek styles and retro bobs. Namely, Rose Byrne sported an amazing looking retro bob, full of shine and sophistication. Gwyneth Paltrow donned a smooth low ponytail that was very vogue. She paired this look with a Tom Ford white dress and cape, which worked perfectly for the occasion. Penelope Cruz also sported a retro hairdo that was full of curls and femininity and completed it with a light blue off the shoulder number. She looked soft, pretty and her entire look flowed together wonderfully. Kristen Wiig as well as Angelina Jolie, and Stacy Keibler, let their beautiful hair down loose, complete with soft curls. Jennifer Lopez wore her hair in a tight bun and Michelle Williams and Viola Davis rocked their short do’s with confidence and panache!  As for the makeup, the looks at the 2012 Oscars were soft and sweet. Many of the stars wore heavy black eyeliner, several coats of black mascara and soft pink or nude lipstick. Anna Faris showed up on the red carpet with dark eyeliner and a peachy beige lipstick, complete with rosy peachy cheeks and filled in brows. Cameron Diaz opted for shimmery pink lips, black eyeliner that was rimmed around her entire eye and pink cheek color. She showcased her bright baby blue eyes to their fullest potential at the 2012 Oscars. Maria Menounos also chose a peachy beige colored lipstick, complete with dark eyeliner and loads of black mascara. The peach lipstick matched fabulously with the seafoam green colored dress she wore at the Oscars. Tina Fey kept up with the trend by pairing dark eyes with a glossy pink lip as did Sandra Bullock. Natalie Portman went a little darker on the lips with a glossy red lip complete with a darker eyeshadow and Milla Jovovich really changed up the script when she arrived with a bright and bold matte red lipstick. The makeup overall fit perfectly with the tone of the evening. The 2012 Oscars Hair and Makeup looks were beautiful and complimented each other flawlessly. Most everyone seemed to get it right this year!

This is such an adorable purse that can go anywhere you go and matches with everything you own.

Happy Valentine's Day !!

FASHION - shoes - dresses - clothes - style

I found the craziest, funkiest Valentine's Day fashion and decided to blog about it ... I put the links on where to find the look underneath the photo ... Good Luck with these statements everyone, some of them are definitely fierce!

And, to start off, I had to post this amazing rose petal dress. What screams bigger statement than a dress that looks like red flowers. With the fitted bodice and strapless design, this dress is fit for only the best. I dare ya, wear this out and watch mouths drop wide open. It will be gloriously deviant of you!

"The Dress consists of petals from 1,000 Naomi red roses, 15 Carmen roses and 200 chrysanthemums and decorated with gold-leaf as well as petals from 150 purple power roses, 75 gerberas and 300 carnations."

Interesting to say the least. If you wore these out, especially on the day of love, you would be getting a different kind of RESPECT. Imagine what damage those spiky heels could do. Even with red lining akin to the color of love, passion and blood xoxo

There is only one way to describe this Alexander McQueen dress, utter chic. The black tulle complete with the red satin overlay is to die for and I'm sure the pricetag matches my setiments. This dress is not crazy, but definitely cute, fashion forward, structured and beautiful. Sounds just about right for a night out at an elegant Valentine's Day party.

Okay, these are a little crazy. But, cute none the less. I think these heels are pretty funky and designed by

Alexander McQueen, you can't go wrong. Take a little black dress and pair it with some gold jewelry and you just walked into funktown! Have fun with these shoes, those are innocent and delicate - bad girls heels, if there is such a thing.

How sexy is this little coin purse from Louis Vuitton. Its got the heart, the chain and the quality that comes from old Louis. Now dirty this up a bit and stash a few condoms in here to really change it up a bit. Oh yes, don't forget your lipgloss and ID.

I see, I see. This Michael Kors watch is not red, like everything else has been, but it is pink and that is good enough for me. I had a chance to witness this gorgeous watch on a friend of mine's wrist and geez, was it a site to see. This watch is more beautiful in person and the color is something dreams are made of. If you have the answer to bliss, I would suggest investing in this piece pronto. Its trendy and timeless, two words that seem hard to come by these days.
