NARS in Aisle 5?!

Um yeah!

This past weekend a birdie told me that there was NARS in Marshalls- my neck almost snapped!

"really, I'm going to check it out"

Well today was the day - low and behold was NARS Ginger Grapefruit Bath and Shower gel for $12. Down from the original $38.

Amazing! 

Spring Feet done out in Purp

Please Excuse my ET feets and my poor recessionista pedicure!

But I love OPI's Done Out In Deco, it reminds me of an easter egg and how when I was a youngin' my mother would buy string , balloons and starch for us to make easter baskets ( it was a mess, but the final product was amazing!).

Upon seeing the adverts for the South Beach collection, I didn't think anything would appeal to me- especially since I'm not into metallics or reds but this was a gem within because Its flattering without being flat much like the prized Peppermint Pattie by MAC.

What's your spring color?

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!

Now let me introduce some friends of mine, they have been on the scene for a while but have been popping up recently- as in April's Lucky Magazine. Eco Tools.

I received the 5 piece brush set while in attendance at the Eco Chic Runway show last year.

These are excellent quality brushes for a low price ( under $10) and they can be found at your local CVS, Target or Duane Reade.

Going forward, I'm going to try to post more eco friendly beauty or fashion posts.

However, I still am not 100% on board with mineral makeup.

I haven't found a great shade match and I have sensitive skin ( back on track now).

Though I do have to say, Caudalie is favorite skin care line and its eco friendly.

The french brand knows how to treat sensitive skin- now if only they made Maquillage?

Prada Spring 09 vs. Am Ap's Le Sac

 
 

Obviously you can't get Am Ap anywhere near Prada as far as details, textures, runway and PRICE is concerned. But it can get be inspirational!

I created this look with a Nude Le Sac dress from American Apparel that I bought from the West Village, as far as Am Ap is concerned. I was told that the color is a rarity.

Now all I need are the break neck, slipper -holding stilettos to accompany my fall when I stroll through the park ( j/k).

Spring tunes with Whateverishly's Coco

L: Who/What is your Spring Music inspiration?

C: Neko Case. That's pretty much all I can listen to/breathe/speak/eat. Oh, and the new Matt & Kim album.

L: 3 songs that make your flora get down with your fauna?

C: I'm not entirely sure what that means, but here are three random tunes of the moment, since all I can do otherwise is listen to Neko:

 

1) "Daylight"-- Matt & Kim. Matt's voice can be a bit grating at times, but I think this song really encapsulates everything right about them.

 

2) "Courtship Dating" Crystal Castles....it's haunting and danceable at the same time. Love it since forever.

 

3) "Lights and Music" Cut Copy....I can't seem to ever get over this song. I've been obsessed with it for like over a year.
