  • Must Haves for the Perfect Fall Face, You Little Autumn Siren

    Fall is the perfect time for a soft glow… Don’t forgo the bronzer, you saucy minx… Just sweep it on lightly over your cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead.  Make your face pop by brushing a shimmery autumnal coral on the apples of your cheeks.  A smoky eye that incorporates browns, golds, and olive instead of the predictable black is an unexpected sultry look. Don’t forget to wing out the tips of your liner (sex kitten alert) and a few falsies just on the corners of your lashes.  Red lips are a beautiful fall statement… Make sure you line your lips first or the bright red will run.  No messy mouth for you, especially on that perfect face of yours.  Top your lips and tips with a glossy red and you’re ready to go xoxo

  • Halloween… Time for Cinderella to Go to the Ball… And Get a Bit Angelic

    Halloween fell on a weekend. That meant two nights of parties.  In Santa Barbara, two nights of parties means two nights of running into the same people.  Therefore, having two costumes was a must.

    I thought Halloween was the perfect excuse to be the perfect little angel… The last minute costume find was a steal. But the wings only stayed on for about 3 minutes.  Just enough time to work my way through the crowded room and poke everyone’s eye out with my feathery weapons. Oops. At least I got to keep on the fuzzy halo.

    The second costume allowed me to indulge my childhood dream of being a Disney princess.  Mission accomplished.  Though, when the cartoonists sketched the delicate Cinderella, I hardly imagine that they had the idea of a 6’2″ California girl in mind. Not like it mattered… my Prince Charming surprised me by showing up at  the party I was attending.  Guess those (size 10) glass slippers did have a little magic in them.
