Cute, Cute, Cute!!!!!!!!

I have the biggest weak spot for cute socks!! You will almost never catch me walking around the house without 'em. So when I found this line, I was like a kid in a candy shop! LittleMissMatched has created a line that, get this, comes in mismatched patterns! Each set of socks contains 3 single socks as opposed to pairs, and while they come in coordinating colors, neither pattern is the same. CUTE!!!! They also have miss matched tights, gloves, pajamas, notebooks- you name it, they have it. Go check out littlemissmatched.com and let me know what you think!

Funky, Chunky Jewelry!!!!

So anyone who knows me knows that I LOOOOOVE chunky jewelry; the bigger the better! So today I decided to focus on designer Kenneth Jay Lane's jewelry line. He has some amazing pieces, and his prices are from reasonable to upscale. You can order his products at a few online boutiques, and Nordstrom's and some Macy's carry this line as well. As a matter of fact, Nordstom's is having a great sale right now; I saw a pair of his earrings for less than $30. He ROCKS!!!

Step By Step Guide To This 'Smoky-Eyed' Surprise!

As I was searching the web for new fall colors, I ran across this simple but GORGEOUS tutorial on how to achieve this look! And it includes one of my favorite lines; MAC! (Thanks, Temptalia!)

1. You will need the following MAC shades:

Gilded Green Pigment (cool pastel green)

Talent Pool Eyeshadow (teal)

Deep Truth Eyeshadow (dark blue)

Smoke & Diamonds Eyeshadow (gray with gold flecks)

Femme-fi Eyeshadow (cool neutral)

Mystery kohl powder (teal-black)

Mascara (black)- I personally am crazy about Sephora Brand Curling Mascara...

You will also need the following MAC brushes: Brushes: #266 , #239 and #129

How to apply:

First define brows using a coordinating powder shadow.

Then apply Gilded Green pigment all over the lid as the base with MAC's 266 brush.

Next apply Talent Pool eyeshadow using brush 239.

Now apply Deep Truth to the outer edge of the lid dragging into the crease.

Darken the outer crease with Smoke & Diamonds eyeshadow.

Sweep Femme-fi eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight.

Finish with Mystery kohl powder on lower lash line, and black mascara on lashes.

And there you have it; pretty as a picture!!! Enjoy!
