"I Die"

Yesterday was a horrendous, horrendous work day, so I apologize for the lack of a blog update. Shame on you, Beebs.

However, my best girls and I topped off the night with a fabulous dinner at Ping for Ms. MacMillen's 24th Birthday! Delish.

So... I need a little inspiration--not to mention I haven't treated myself to some killer beauty products in a while...so I'm feeling a bit bogged down. Hello MAC, where are you!?

I found this look from another blog and my oh my, it's to die for.

"I Die." (We all love Rachel Zoe, do we not!?)

Try this look with any deep matte blue you can find-- MAC, Loreal, CoverGirl etc. Keep the lips nude and cheeks fair.

Peace, Love & Cheerios,

Who's The Boss?

Totally unrelated to beauty, but...

If you haven't seen TLC's "Cake Boss" then you are really missing out... and I mean really missing out!

My dear cousin Johnny first told me about "Cake Boss" and I was a little skeptical-- a show about cake making? I'm not so sure...

{TLC}

Well, I'm the idiot. This show is exciting, delicious, drama-filled, Italian family lovin' goodness! Carlo "Buddy" Valastro is "The Boss" and a master baker! The cakes are beyond phenomenal and the entire baking staff is referred to as "The Familia." His crazy Italian sisters run the bakery downstairs with his saucy Italian mother (who clearly wears the pants in the family) is the Business Manager.

{TLC}

Buddy took over Carlo's Bakery after his father, Buddy Senior died suddenly. At the age of 17, Buddy Jr. began his journey in baking and is quite frankly, the best out there!

{TLC}

Dropped in the cobblestone streets of Hoboken, NJ, you will get a kick out the thick New Jeresy Italian drenched accents and dramas of a demanding art bakery kitchen.

Watch this video from season one: Bridezilla. She is a monster!

Season 2 premiered last night and it was hysterical! Check out TLC's website for more information: {http://tlc.discovery.com/}

It is pretty much a fact that I am totally in LOVE with J.Crew!

These crew cuts have truly stepped it up in that past couple of years. Not to mention the overly depressing yet beautifully-addicting catalog, especially this 2009 November issue.

Plus, I die over those red peachy lips!

{jcrewaholics}

As always, check the website for fabulous inspiration: http://www.jcrew.com/

Pretty pretty.

{carriecouture}

But I also found a fantastic blog for all those addicted to everything j.crew-- click the blog title "So Divine" above.

Indulge in the divine.

XO,

XOXO

So thrilled it's Friday!

Even with this rain, I feel like channeling Blake Lively's look of dark liner, thick eyelashes and hot pink lips. Love them!

{Rolling Stone}

I reallllly heart Gossip Girl, it's true. Sassy fashionistas with sometimes too much foolishness. But it's still my Monday night guilty pleasure for further beauty inspiration.

Have a {fabulous} weekend!
Toodles,

Pour Me Another

Totally unrelated to beauty, but...

One of my dear seestars + Favorite cousins in town/moved home + the most adorable baby cousin, Audrey Pants, equals wine time!

{a little preview of Harrington cousin/family action...minus a few}

I absolutely love Pour Wine Bar in NE Portland on Broadway and 28th. I can taste that merlot cabernet as we speak... I die.

Totally quaint, with a hip mod feel and a plethora of wines...plus very nice service!

Can't wait.

Happy {Thirsty} Thursday, ya'll!

Obsessed: She Wolf

{VF.com}

Alrrrrright! My friends are going to laugh in my face that I'm even blogging about this...

Maybe Halloween is actually telling me to dutifully take on the role as "She Wolf" for my costume and it's no jest, I'm pondering it....

Or is it just that my roommate and I are pretty much obsessed with Shakira's "She Wolf''?

{qtorr}

All I can say is although the video is a bit much (to say the least) the song is catchy as ever and Shakira looks absolutely gorgeous! Her milky caramel skin with bright honey blonde hair in contrast to her espresso eyes is quite the look for this Columbian beauty.

In fact, she's like a much prettier version of Beyonce...don't ya think?

So check this out...if you can handle it ;) Video link below.

Toodles!

{MAC Facebook}

Scarrrrry pumpkins!

MAC is doing a phenomenal job at interpreting Halloween with these freaky, but ever-so-real Halloween makeup masks. Only to then inspire my closest girlfriends and me to morph into the roles of "Safari Predators" for All Hallows Eve. We are most excited.

Check out the video below. Welcome to Spook Town, everyone!
