Thoughts

OKokok. I like George Clooney for obvious reasons. The same reason all women love him. He is extremely hot. But his bachelorish ways kind of disgust me to be honest.

So he was with Elisabetta Canalis, an Italian model and TV personality, for 2 years. Incase you've been living under a rock, here is a picture of them.



There would always be pics of them in the tabloids on vacation or at his villa on Lake Como, or at family functions, etc. It seemed pretty serious. And then all of the sudden they break up and literally 2 days later, he is with Stacy Keibler. See below.



I am sorry, but I just don't think it's normal to move on that quickly from a 2 year relationship. It makes me think George might have some issues. Like he CANNOT be alone. I mean, when has he ever been single? He just jumps from woman to woman to woman. I just find it kind of disturbing. He is definitely hot and sexy, but his dating habits are a big red flag. Good luck Stacy!

By the way

I cannot believe Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne are still a couple. Why? How?



That's all.

New Eyeliner

I am such a sucker for cosmetic ads on TV and in magazines. They always make the products look like such miracle workers and I fall for it every time! Argh!

About 95% of the time the products suck and don't do what they say they do, but once in a while you find a good one. And guess what, I found one! Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner.




See, how can you say no to an ad like that!? Other than great target marketing, it is just an all around great eyeliner. It is reallllly easy to apply (applying eyeliner definitely is NOT my strongsuit), goes on so smooth and doesn't run or smudge at all. You can create a dramatic look or a daytime look but just applying above the top lash.

I think it's the best drug store eyeliner I have used, and I have tried a lot. Seal of approval! Click on pic to buy.

Trend Spotting

Well, it's the first day of fall already and that means time to change up the wardrobe. I feel like I didn't even get to wear any of my summer stuff yet, but oh well! Fall clothes are more fun anyway.

So here are my predictions for the big fall trends:

1. TRIBAL. We've seen a little bit of it in the summer trends, but I think it's going to be huge for winter and fall. I think a tribal print mini dress with black tights and boots would be SUPER cute for day or night.









2. SPARKLY. No surprise here, always in style in the fall and winter and make great holiday outfits! I am a BIG fan of a sparkly dress. Here is Beyonce sporting a sequined dress at her recent fragrance launch. So cute!



3. HIKER BOOTIES. Look at the pics. Beyond cute. Nuff said.








4. TIE NECK BLOUSES. My personal favorite! I effing love these tops. They are uber feminine, and you can wear them with pretty much anything. The tie neck blouse is truly the perfect piece of clothing. Sigh.






5. FUR. We're not fans of killing animals for their fur so make it FAUX fur please! We saw a lot of fur last winter and it's going to be a big trend again this winter. Especially the fur vest. It's a must this year!

Current Obsession: Ombre Hair


The "e" in ombre is supposed to have a little accent mark over it, but I don't know how to do that on a keyboard (and I don't feel like googling it) so just bear with me here.

Is ombre hair not the cutest, smartest hairstyle ever invented?? I am pretty sure it's one of those hairstyles where in 20 years we will look and be like WTF were we thinking! But for now, I think it's sooo cute. For starters, it adds an element of style to otherwise boring haircuts. It also allows us to get our hair colored way less often which is a huge plus! Cuts down on cost and helps your hair's health because of less processing.

I am in the beginning stages of my ombre (only like a year too late). I am just growing out my blonde for a few months and then I will have to get the root colored blended to the outgrown blonde. The key to the ombre is to not look like its grown out roots, hence the term "ombre" which refers to the graduated or shaded effect of color. Think of it like a rainbow, all the colors blend together, you can't really see where one starts and ends.

Another cool thing about this hair style is that you can vary the versions of it. It can be subtle like Jessica Biel's above, or more drastic like Guliana Rancic below.


Cute, right!

My goal hairstyle is below. Here's to hoping!

Hello!

Omg. I literally suck! I have been more than a slacker for the last few months when it comes to the blog. There are reasons for this:
1. Well, I am lazy.
2. I had serious writer's block. Kind of like Dave Chapelle. It's a lot of pressure having a blog.
3. Work has been really busy.
4. That's all the excuses I can think of at this point in time.

So I am going to start blogging again. It might cut into my brain rotting time each night (aka watching reality television), but that won't be such a bad thing.
