forever summer
If you've been reading my blog, you know how much I love the beach and anything sea inspired themes. Everyday I wish I am somewhere in a deserted beach reading a book with a smoothie in my hand. So while it is not possible for me to do just that, I am obsessed with buying things that remind me of the beach. Everyday, they inspire me to work harder to be closer to my dream..

THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS
BLUE DENIM
WHITE SHIRT
GRAY BLAZER
NUDE HEELS
If you have a closet full of nothing to wear, then its time to go back to basics. If you can afford it, get rid of the clothes that you haven't worn for the past 2 years. Donate it to Salvation Army or Goodwill(it's tax deductible),organize a garage sale or sell it on Ebay. Then slowly(I mean SLOWLY)build your wardrobe around the basics pictured above. Buy stuff that you can mix and much.You don't need a lot of clothes.What you need are quality pieces that you can wear forever.

save the whales
If you ever watch the show The Whale Wars, you will see how cruel mankind is. Slaughtering the most beautiful creature of the sea for selfish reasons,money. My heart breaks seeing how whales are being treated.They are now one of the endangered species of our planet. Let's do something to prevent their extinction so people in the future can still marvel at their beauty. Log in here
better to be naked
No,I don't mean take off our clothes. I mean luminous skin,barely there shadow and glossy lips. Perfect for everyday look. These can be achieved by applying tinted moisturizer(skip the foundation),sweeping nude shadow all over lid,apply darker shadow on the crease and blend well then put some lipgloss on your lips(and cheeks if you want!).You're all set,gorgeous!

kardashian konfidential
We can't keep up with the Kardashians closet! The three sisters are building a multimillion dollar empire with clothes,fragrance and home collection on top of their hit reality show on E! No wonder they are busy filling in their closets with eye popping clothes,bags,and shoes. Drool...
versace for h&m
Versace for H&M just launched and now almost everything is sold out. I read a news that a skirt priced at $68 is now selling on Ebay for $719!!! That is ridiculous.There were people in NY that camped out and some were hospitalized.How insane is that?I have yet to see the actual designs because the nearest H&M store is about 40 minutes but if I could end up in a hospital for that,then thank you I will pass.
the pippa effect
Ever since she stepped out in that unforgettable white form fitting gown that almost stole the spotlight from her sister Kate Middleton, Pippa has been photographed everywhere she goes. The girl has great sense of style and it is evident by how she wears her clothes everyday. She is classy and elegant. No wonder paparazzis follow her every move.
