BareMinerals Eyeliner

One of my favorite beauty accessories is my bareMinerals eyeliner brush and Luxe colored liner shadow. Simply dip the eyeliner brush into water or the bareMinerals Weather Everything Liner Sealer and mix with the shadow powder. I draw on my liner ending with a bit of an extension so my eyes have sort of a cat eyes effect. I love it! It is super easy and it makes my eyes look bigger and wider; plus I get tons of compliments.

Flatte Matte by Knock Out

This is a great line of nail polish that comes in a variety of colors; all are in a matte finish. Having a non-glossy finish makes wearing black nail polish a little less edgy and alleviates any anxiety of going to the dark side. The soft satin glow goes on thick and dark and lasts much longer than any other nail polish I’ve ever worn.

Allision Lewis

I attended a viewing at 5 ninth in Greenwich Village for Allison Lewis’ spring 2010 collection. It was an assortment of playfully light dresses and rompers, accessorized with white Keds and ankle socks. The collection’s fabric was made of silk, with a floral pattern, that came in a deep royal blue, black and a vibrant green that was somewhat of a mix between emerald and hunter. Hair was soft curls twisted into a loose messy bun by Rodney Cutler. The make-up was light and airy with rosy pink lips and nails were painted in a matte finish red by knock out. It was a supper cute collection and I can’t wait to get my hands on that green romper for this spring.

Fashion Week Spring 2010

Yes, you can all be jealous… I still can’t believe it myself but this past September I got to attend Fashion Week in New York. Even just thinking about it makes my eyes light up and my heart begin to race. As a fashion major and just someone who enjoys creatively expressing themselves through the use of fashion and other accessories, attending this event was a dream come true. I honestly never thought that at the age of 20 I would be attending an event where most people have to be in the field for at least ten to fifteen years before they even get the invite, let alone get to go. Through my internship with NaturallyCurly.com I had just three days to prepare for my trip. I flew to NY with only one show confirmed but I figured I could at least explore Manhattan and go to museums if nothing else fell into place. To my surprise, by the end of the trip I had attended five shows, gone back stage to four and personally met some of the most influential people in the fashion world. It was amazing!
