Party rocking with LMFAO

2012-02-12T02:42:00.000-08:00

This past Thursday was the party of the month. LMFAO was in town and I wasn't about to miss them this time! I was fortunate enough to be able to get my hands on floor tickets and we made it unbelievably close to the stage in the moshpit. So close, in fact, that we got drenched by the champagne showers!

Far East Movement opened the show along with Natalia Kills. Red Foo was the only one present at the show, but let's be honest - we all know thathe's the life of the party!

For the concert, I finally broke out my Joseph Ribkoff leggings and I also wore a custom made DIY shufflebot jacket. My brother actually wore the same jacket on Halloween as well as the matching pants and the flashing helmet to complete the costume. And yes, the jacket is spray painted gold - but how cool does it look?! All in all, an amazing evening and an even better party. Red Foo sure rocked Vancouver! Sky Blu please get your wiggle back on asap!

Beauty talk: Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette

2012-02-09T12:52:00.000-08:00

The Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette is one of the latest additions to my make-up collection. I've only recently started to experiment with different brands and products and I thought this palette would allow me to try out a variety of different looks. Was I ever right! To be completely honest, I think it is one of my best purchases yet! Initially, I was drawn to the natural beige-ish shades, thinking that they would be excellent for everyday use and for work as well. It was only after I had received my palette that I realized how versatile it really is!

The wide range of warm colors are perfect for any look. I also love how pigmented all of the shadows are and they can be blended very easily! Here are a few looks that I created using shadows only from this palette. These are just a few of many options you can create with this palette that aren't necessarily the traditional neutral brown eye looks.

- Dramatic -

Smokey eye and red bold lips

- Romantic -

Pink and mauve shadows, paired with neutral lips

- "I'm not wearing make-up" -

Vanilla and taupe shadows, paired with soft pink lips

- Shimmering Gold -

Gold, bronze and brown shadows, paired with soft pink lips

What is your signature make-up look?

Ugh, it's midterm time again! This is what I wore for a study session on campus. Quick confession: I am obsessed with blazers! I love the way in which they can easily dress up any outfit and make it look more professional and put together. Blazers are must-haves item for any individual.

The boots were an impulse buy - I saw them at a little boutique during my latest trip to Seattle and I had to have them! The detail is so unique from any other boots that I have seen! It seems that riding boots are becoming more and more popular this season, and I can't say that I'm surprised. They are so versatile and can be paired with virtually any outfit.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Seasonal changes

The first thing I saw this morning as I was waking up were the warm rays of the sun, shining through my blinds. Today was a truly gorgeous day and I was immediately inspired by the transition from winter into spring. Goodbye rainy Vancouver days and heeelloooo sunshine (I hope)!

My outfit today definitely reflected this fusion. The faux fur vest brings a winter-y feel, while my little flats are a perfect representation of the spring ambiance. I paired them both with my favorite pair of red jeans and a black top - loving the complete look!

What is that one item that you are just dying to have in your spring wardrobe?
