Some Spring 2009 Fashion Trends

With every season comes new trends, and fashion is no exception. Here are some of the looks seen on the spring 2009 runway shows.


1. The color of the season appears to be hot pink ormagenta, as was reported in Instyle and Glamour. From dresses to jackets, models were sporting this color in everything.








2. Another color trend for dresses this season is black and white. From Oscar De La Renta to Dianne Von Fustenberg, this color combination is a definite do for the coming spring season.

3. Of course, spring wouldnt be spring without florals. Floral dresses are a staple for this season. Add some flair to this style with some bright color tight until the weather gets warmer.

New Sally hansen: Nail Art Pens




Recently, Sally Hansen introduced its new nail art pens. Though hard to find, (they are not up on the website yet, at least not as far as I can tell), they have been advertised in Seventeen Magazine this month, and they are available at some Walgreens for $7.99 each. Able to be used over any nail color, they come in 8 different shades: white, black, light pink, hot pink, blue, red, silver, and gold. These are easy to apply, and just as easy to remove, in case you need to correct a mistake.

Teal/Pink Eye Look

Hey Guys! As promised, here is a picture tutorial on how to do a nice pink and teal eye look.


1. First, prime eyelids with a base, such as Urban Decay Primer Potion or Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

2. Apply a cream, light pink shadow all over lid( For this look, I used Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Eye Shadow Stick in Pink Shell)










3. Next, apply a cream teal color just onto the lower portion of the lid.
















4. Now use a pink eyeshadow, any shade of pink is fine, and pack this on lightly on the upper half of the lid. Once you’ve done that, you can reapply the teal color to make it brighter.










Here's the finished look:

At Home Facial For Winter Skin


Hello fellow beauty and fashion addicts. Since the weather is getting colder and colder, (at least where I live), tonight I'm going to tell you how to do an at home facial that is perfect for dry, winter skin. If you have 15 minutes, you can make your skin feel soft again.


Step1: Soak a washcloth in warm water and place over face. Leave there for about one minute.

Step 2: Scrub face with a facial scrub. This will rid your face of any dead skin cells, which could be making yourcomplexion dull.

Step 3: Use a facial mask( you can get one pretty cheap at a drugstore, or you can always go high end if you prefer. My favorite drugstore variety is Neautrogena Clear Pore Cleansor Mask.)

Step4: Don't forget to mositurize. It's important to use a moisturizer at least once a day in the wintertime, especially if your skin is prone to dryness. One that i like is Clean and Clear Morning Burst Moisturizer, but there are many other good ones you can try. use what works best for you.


If you follow these easy steps, your skin should be feeling softer. And even if you dont have time for a full facial like this, you should at least use a moisturizer either in the morning, or before bed at night. The more hydrated your skin, the better it will look and feel, especially in the winter.

Tonight's Gossip Girl was amazing, and their fashions were as well. So of course, I have to post pictures of them. Later this week I may post a how to for these looks. For now, enjoy the pics











I LOVE everything Blair wears, she is my fashion idol. Above are my favorite Blair looks from tonight's episode. A simple way to get the second look is to wear a black pencil skirt, gray tights, black pumps, and a brown peacoat or cardigan. I love the ruffles on Blair's shirt in the third picture. And of course, it wouldnt be a Blair Waldorf fashion without the signature headband! When I find out the exact designers she is wearing here, I will definitely let you guysknow!
