Le Sac Is Back!

I received my Le Sac dress a few weeks ago and was eager to try..but was turned off by the choice strap color ( black dress, electric blue straps) so I made a b-line to the Hilcrest AmAp and they had some sac's in stock. I picked up the same dress, black straps and fell head over heals.
Since I saved all the potential "looks" , I started to try them out..then while trying to un-tangle myself found that - the strap is not as long as their model perceives it to be. Luckly the styles didn't strangle the life out of me but I still love the dress.

American Apparel's Le Sac dress is available online here

Is about that time!
Come Friday the 18th, Nordstrom's launches their Anniversary Beauty Exclusives, and out comes the claws and wallets- especially since some of the exclusives are sold out already! ( ie. NARS lip pencils and Chanel makeup exclusives- SOLD OUT).

What I look forward to are:

YSL's Superb Eyes Set

Caudalie Anniversary Kit



MAC Richmetal Highlighter in Dark Influence- CCB consistency with gold reflects.

Gearing up: San Diego Pride Weekend!

I'm really excited for this weekend- it's pride!

I support a great community fighting for civil rights and equality for all and my weekend officially kicks off on Friday at the Lei Lounge.

Saturday will be the peak of fun with the parade, while my friends will have their outfits and pieces together- I'm still struggling to put together a "look". From what I remember from the past few is that- the weather is hot and muggy, so I have make sure my makeup is swelter proof.
Sunday I'm going to see Kathy Griffin lay some on the crowd- too much fun!

Ideas that come to mind- recreating the Christian Lacroix colorful smoky eyes!, lots of glitter...looots of glitter, getting a nice purple wig and some lashes at Flashbacks.

I dunno yet but will definitely keep you posted!






In the mean time, I'm trying to figure out which MAC Pigments were used for the CL Couture eyes? Teal? Cornflower?
Can the couture be a prelude to a MAC and Christian Lacroix Collab??? ( fingers crossed~ please make my dream come true).
