Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

If you are obsessed with having the newest beauty products and latest trends then I know you have heard about the Anastasia Contour Kit. This kit has been all the buzz on the blogs and on YouTube lately, and every beauty lover has been raving about this amazing new kit! Well finally, the wait is over for me, and I was able to snag one the contour kits for myself!! So let's get chatting about what this holy grail of contour even does!

You will be able to perfectly sculpt and define your features with the 6 powders featured in this kit. These powders were designed to contour and highlight your eyes, cheekbones, nose, and jawline.

There are six shades in the kit, in removable pans so you can easily change them to a different palette or replace them when they are empty. There are 3 highlighting shades: Vanilla, Sand, and Banana. And 3 contouring bronzer shades: Java, Havana, and Fawn. I am loving the look of a defined contour lately and this kit is the best of the best when it comes to flawlessly sculpting your face.

Overall I really couldn't recommend this kit any more- it is definitely worth all the hype around it! The only bad thing is that unfortunately you have to be some sort of a magician it seems to get your hands on one! I snagged mine at Sephora after signing up for their "alert me" emails but there was only a very limited quantity available.
Looks like more kits will be available in mid-May on the Sephora and Anastasia Websites. Retail price: $40.

nOir Leather Pyramid Bracelets

My new-found love affair with nOir Jewelry is still growing! Check out some of my previous nOir posts, detailing some back history of the brand along with some of my purchases here: Fab-YOU-lous: nOir Deco Pave Ring and Fab-YOU-lous: nOir Jewelry. 

The studded and glamorous leather pyramid bracelets from their newest collection instantly caught my eye. I purchased my two favorites, the Wrap Around Pyramid Bracelet in Orange with silver hardware and the Single Leather Cone Bracelet in Black with gold hardware. 

These bracelets are so edgy and high-fashion and are a must-have staple piece for all fashionistas! They are perfect for layering or wearing alone and will add that extra glam to any ensemble. 

nOir's pyramid bracelet collection comes in a ton of different style variations including: bracelet type (single, wrap-around, or thick cuff), pyramid style (cone or regular pyramid), pyramid type (plain or covered in pave CZ diamonds), leather colors (black, white, brown, orange), and hardware colors (gold, silver/rhodium, gunmetal). The possibilities are endless!

Check out my growing nOir collection in this picture- now that is what you call nOir statement jewelry overload! Obviously I wouldn't ever wear all of these at once, just thought it would be a fun way to show you all the size in comparison to one another :)

You can purchase a leather pyramid bracelet on nOir's website: www.noirjewelry.com
Retail Prices: most from $125-$300

CND Shellac Hybrid Nail Polish

This is a revolutionary new product for nails! Shellac is a breakthrough nail technology, created by CND, that combines the easy application of nail polish with the permanentness and shine of gel nails. Shellac does absolutely no damage to your nails, but last for 14 days! To make it even better, there is absolutely no drying time involved! Shellac polish is cured under a UV light, which makes it hard, shiny, and completely dry when your treatment is finished.

My First Shellac Manicure- French Finish

I got Shellac put on my nails just a few days ago, and I love it! I chose to have a French finish put on my nails instead of using a plain color. They look amazingly shiny and are perfectly smooth- they feel exactly like regular nail polish on your fingers. 

After the treatment was over, my nail technician rubbed them with a paper towel, and they were 100% completely dry! I was so in shock because normally I feel like I can't use my fingers for hours after I get a manicure, but this is definitely not the case with Shellac- There is truly NO drying time.

I would completely recommend this service to anyone- if you hate waiting around for your nails to dry, want a manicure to last 14 days without any chips at all, and want a stunningly smooth and shiny mirror-finished nail, then Shellac is for you!

My service with the French finish cost $35. For plain color it will cost around $25; however, this varies by salon.

Louis Vuitton Spring 2011 Runway Purses

WOW! That is all I have to see after seeing these fierce designs march down the runway for Louis Vuitton Spring 2011. These bags are beyond wild, colorful, and super fun!

Well done, creative director Marc Jacobs- you have succeeded in adding some youthful spunk into the very classic Louis Vuitton brand! Not that I don't adore the timeless prints of LV, but this collection is so exciting! It has charisma and charm that leaves me wanting more designs like this in the future from LV. 

Louis Vuitton uses a plethora of materials in these designs ranging from beads, glittering stones, metal, suede, the classic LV brown print, and patent leather. 

The designs are artful and bright, steering clear of the classic Louis Vuitton browns and neutrals. Instead, this season LV brought fun, clashing, color-blocked designs to the runway- I can't get enough of this collection, it is so different and unique! Feast your eyes on these fabulous purses, fashionistas- I know you will be just as obsessed!

Trend Alert- Studded Boots

The motorcycle boot trend has been 'in' for quite awhile now, but it has been interpreted in a few different ways for this Fall season- I covered the Lace-up boots trend in a previous post (Click here if you didn't get a chance to read it- Fab-YOU-lous: Trend Alert: Lace up Boots) and now I want to cover another trend with boots which is huge right now: studding.

Studded boots have been gracing the feet of celebrities and doing a fierce diva stomp down runways all around the world for this Fall season- studded boots are HUGE right now.

My favorite reasonable priced studded boot of the season is the Sam Edelman 'Lockhart' Boot (seen above)- These fierce studded motorcycle boots are amazing in my opinion- The studs add the perfect amount of sparkle and toughness to complete any look. They scream trendy and edgy. These boots are available at Nordstrom for $300. 

The MOST AMAZING splurge studded boot of this season is the Christian Louboutin Egoustina Tall Mc Boot. I have died and went to heaven every time I lay my eyes on these beauties- Could it get any more amazing than this stunning boot?! The spike detail cap toe and back belt are perfection, the leather is beyond beautifully gorgeous, and of course topping it all off with Christian Louboutin's signature bold red leather sole makes this shoe my #1 choice for Fall. I am officially OBSESSED! You can purchase these boots at Neiman Marcus for $1,495


Studded boots are a must have for Fall, so be on the lookout for a pair that is just right for your tastes :)

Want It Wednesday!

For this week's want it Wednesday item I have decided to go with a boot that is totally 'bananas', as Rachel Zoe would say- Yes, I am dying for the Rachel Zoe for Brian Atwood Chain-Back Over-the-Knee Boot.

On a recent episode of the Rachel Zoe project, one of my favorite shows, Rachel was seen in a meeting with the fabulously chic shoe designer Brian Atwood. They were planning a shoe that would be inspired/designed by Rachel for the Brian Atwood shoe line.

The shoe collaboration has been completely designed- The thigh high boot came out as a part of the Brian Atwood shoe collection and with additional colors for his resort collection. From the thigh to the tip of the stiletto heel of this stunning boot runs a fabulous metal chain, making this look a complete show stopper. The boot is made of sueded calf-skin and sports a fitting design against the wearer's leg, allowing for a flattering fit. The fabulous heel measures in at 5 and 1/2", with a 1 and 1/2" platform.

The FABULOUS fashion icon Victoria Beckham has already been seen and photographed sporting this trendy and sexy over-the-knee boot. As you can see, this boot is so chic and stylish- I adore that it just looks like a regular over-the-knee suede boot from the front, but when you turn around there is that fierce strip of glamorous chain. Good job, Rachel Zoe & Brian Atwood- this was a fierce collaboration! This boot is so amazing, and I wish I could have it- LOVES IT! And as Rachel would say- “These boots are out of control , borderline BANANAS“

This fabulous boot is currently available at Neiman Marcus

Retail Price: $2,900

I Love Louboutin!

OMG- Christian Louboutin never fails to impress- These fantastic Swarovski crystal and mesh ankle boots are to die for! This shoe is from the Fall 2010 Christian Louboutin shoe collection (as was one of my previous Want It Wednesday posts, Click here: Fab-YOU-lous: Want It Wednesday). This crystal and mesh boot (seen in the picture above) is my new favorite from the collection- I swear they are just screaming 'Annie'! I adore them :)
In this collection, Christian Louboutin is getting some use out the Swarovski crystal trend by dousing many of his new styles with sparkling and shimmering crystals! The design seen above is a nude lace and Swarovski crystal hidden-platform pump- it sort of has a ballerina feminine vibe to it, which I am loving!
This shoe, another one of my favorites, featured above is a double-platform satin sandal with crisscross straps, buckle detail, and a Swarovski crystal-covered heel. Another amazing design by Louboutin!

All of these shoes are from the Fall 2010 collection, so you can only pre-order them as of now; however, I am SO looking forward to seeing them in person in stores soon- I have to try them all on!

I love Christian Louboutin shoes- his designs are all 100% FABULOUS!

Trend Alert: Lace up Boots

Calling all fashionistas, we have spotted a hot new trend for Fall: Lace up Boots! It would be hard to ignore this huge emerging trend- This style has been seen all over the runways, on tons of celebrities, and in every single stylish store's looks for Fall.

This style comes in both flat and very high heeled versions. The most fun thing about this trend is that it encompasses such different types of styles: they offer a military, Victorian, and grungy chic vibe. This style is not only versatile style-wise, but also very practical for the Fall/Winter season.

Lace up boots are so cool and tough- they can really change the entire direction that the style of an outfit has. Try pairing some flat, distressed lace up ankle boots with a flirty, girly, ruffly dress for an effortlessly amazing and trendy look.

One of my favorite flat lace up boots of this season is seen in the photo above. The Trouve 'Sabrina' distressed leather ankle boot can be styled like Rachel Bilson's look (as seen above) to get her fun girly grunge look. This rugged distressed boot has two buckle straps and a cool fold over cuff. It is made of leather, so it would be perfect for the slippery and wet Fall/Winter season! It is available at Nordstrom and you can purchase this boot for $150.

You can take this trend in another direction by getting a high heeled version of the Lace up boot. This can dress up any outfit and give it a sort of Victorian vibe. My favorite high heeled lace up boot of the season can be seen in the photo above: It is the Miz Mooz 'Solis' Boot. This boot is made of leather and is so feminine and chic! You can purchase this boot at Nordstrom for $220.

Even the outlandish style icon, Miss Lady Gaga, has been seen out in her own version of the lace up boot style- although definitely crazy, and something that basically no one other than Gaga could ever pull off, she is always on the cusp of new trends and willing to experiment with fashion. So, as you can see above, even Gaga has been seen sporting this fun lace up boot trend.

The possibilities are truly endless with this fun, effortlessly cool new style- Experiment with this fun new trend & enjoy!
