OMG I Just Bought...

I don’t know about you, but when I go shopping and find something really awesome, I can’t wait to tell everyone I know because a) I want others to be as impressed with my shopping prowess as I am and b) I want my friends to purchase that item too – so they can share in my retail euphoria. When someone compliments something I’m wearing, even though I know "Thank you" would suffice, I launch into a soliloquy – rattling off the designer, where I bought it, how much I paid and the coupon I used (I’m a coupon crazy nut).

If you’re like me and love to spill the deets on your shopping feats, here’s a website to add to your Favorites list...

At OMG I just bought… you confess your most recent purchases for a chance to win weekly prizes from your favorite stores. How fun is that?

I just posted about my recent fedora purchase at Banana Republic and about the super cute flats I scored this past weekend at DSW. Go me!

Eyes of the Day: Teal

Hi All!!

Just so you know I have a few posts that are pending at the moment, I just haven't had time to do them, The Rockettes have been mega busy recently with rehersals and gigs and it's a teeny bit hard juggling it all at the moment along with life! So I am hoping to get the backlogged topics posted as soon as I possibly can.

But to start with I thought I would show you a recent make up look I tried on a whim before one of our gigs actually. I hope you like it.....






Take a closer peek......

Without tthe flash


With the flash

Inner Eye: 'Old Gold' Barry M
Eye Lid: 'Teal' MAC Pigment
Outer Lid: 'Carbon' MAC Eyeshadow
Mascara: Bourjois Clubbing
Eyeliner/Browliner: No7
Liquid Liner: Collection 2000




What do you think?

Outfit of the Night: I couldn't resist....

Hi All!!!


As you can see I wore the dress I originally purchased for Richard's graduation party in August, I just couldn't resist!




Dress: ASOS
Blazer: Dolce & Gabbana
Heels: Republic



In all honesty as much as I love the dress i'm glad I bought but even better, i'm glad I wore it the other weekend because I don't think it's nice enough for Richard's party. Sounds weird maybe? But I need a dress with that 'WOW' factor and this dress doesn't quite seem to have it. It's a wicked dress for a standard night out but not for a special occassion I don't think.

So now i'm on the look out for a new dress... any excuse hehe!

Beauty Tips for a Jerseylicious Summer!

Hairstylists Tracy DiMarco and Anthony Lombardi, stars of The Style Network's hit Jerseylicious, share their top 10 summer beauty tips with Spoiled Pretty readers...

Tracy says:

1. "Condition: The sun makes your hair dry and dead. So while you’re laying out, put some leave-in conditioner or use a treatment in your hair to prevent damage."

2. "A tan is a must have! But no tan is worth ruining your skin. Make sure you throw on sunscreen even if it’s a low number sunscreen like 4! Just don’t put baby oil on!"

3. "Get yourself a Maxi dress. It can come in handy as a cover up for your bathing suit or could be cute for dinner right from the beach/pool."

4. "Summer is great for hats. Either a big floppy hat to block the sun or a cute straw fedora to match your sundress."

5. "Make-up is not necessary for the beach. But a bare face isn’t right either. So put on some mascara on top and bottom lashes, it will brighten up your eyes! Never know when you’ll run into a cutie on the beach!"

Anthony advice:

1. "Add some summer highlights - doesn't have to be a lot - just a few to give a sun-kissed glow."

2. "Get an anti-frizz treatment. Summer humidity can cause a very bad hair day and GKhair or Bio Ionic Kerasmooth can be lifesavers."

3. "When out in the sun, put 1 pint of Lakme Sun Care treatment in a spray bottle to 2 pints of water, and keep spraying and coming your hair all day. It helps with sun damage."

4. "If you're a guy and you're bald out in the sun, wear a sunscreen on your head with a SPF of at least 30."

5. "Ponytails are timeless classics."
