The Lids

I've been going through some major life changes lately, most importantly, my eyeliner. I've always admired girls who could pull off a heavy lid, but with my fair skin, didn't consider myself among the lucky few.

Enter: Bobbi Brown's Award-Winning Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner.

I know my euphoria is bound to even out a bit, but I've honestly looked forward to getting up and putting makeup on in the morning. Coming from a girl knee deep in a record-breaking Chicago winter, that is really my highest honor. A heavy line helps brigthen the eyes and because its quick-dry AND smudge proof, those sharp lines stay with you all day, making you appear more alert and polished. Plus, you get to apply it with a paintbrush, which is super fun.

Have you discovered any beauty products out there with similar magical qualities? I'd love to hear about them.

I'm digging this 80s throwback haircut.

Cute Little Outfit

A little early for spring-wear, but I thought I'd post this in the hopes that someone somewhere is getting ready for a fabulous trip to the shore... This girl's all set for a day on the boardwalk.

Scents and Styles of the 1920s

Gangs, blood and violence aren't really my thing, so it's semi-amazing to me how completely absorbed I have become in HBO's new series Boardwalk Empire. As long as there is a steady stream of historically accurate costumes, hairstyles, backdrops and vernacular, and somewhere for me to hide when it gets too suspenseful, I will probably keep on watching.

Here's a fun, little article about perfumes and fragrances during the 1920s that reminded me of the show.
