Winter slash Holiday Trends 2009!!!

What are the latest hits for the holidays? Don't hate bc it's Hallow's Eve and I'm skippin' 'head...but no lie, it's that time to be thinking ahead to achieve the ultimate for Holiday 09! Psst, Deck your Do's this Season!

FAUX is SoOOoo Fabby! Don't kill a cutie lil' creature just to sport the carcass around on your back. It's all about FAUX FUR for this season! Yes finally fur that's 'fordable! Yes, this also includes animal prints. Betsey Johnson, H&M, Juicy, and Rachel Zoe are all dishing out lines that include faux!

Yes, sequins are what's bringing the bling back for the n'th time. Try the sequin touch with a vest, tank, or with accessories!

[alexander wang collection] A'hem...excuse me Miss, you have a run in your hoes. Oh wait, that's intentional? Got it. That's totally the trend right now - so tear 'em up ladies! Torn denim is still going to be a key character as well.

Salute your inner Military Goddess and add a structured slash punk rock slash luxury jacket to your ensemb.

You say chunky like it's a bad thing! For once, chunky implies Ooper Chic! Sport the chunky knit in the form of sweaters, hats, and obviously scarves!

[chanel] And last but not least, this whole nail dilemn is changing every which way this season. I've found that ones that will be consistent HOTT colors are mint greens, milky baby pinks, and bright cherry red! Get' em girls!

Mommy Needs a Moment

Well in the time I've been away, I've got myself wrapped up in becoming a mommy to be! Yes, it's true, lil' miss priss is gonna have a lil' lovie! Awww, I know...so presh! Now not only will I have to worry about me being fabby from H2T but also my rugrat! So in honor of mwah and all those other Mommy's out there. This post is dedicated to you and your mad dash to take a moment to unwind.

Here's How...

1) Repair Your Hair:
My MIL taught me this AMAZING trick for getting perfectly conditioned WITH the va-va-voolume! Shampoo your hair using a clarifying shampoo (I prefer Aveda's Scalp Benefits). Rinse and ring out the water in your hair. Then apply your conditioner (all over including the roots...gasp! I know...normally a major no no). Let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse. Shampoo your hair again focusing on the scalp but not so much the ends. When you rinse, your hair will still feel silky soft. Once you blow dry and style you'll really see the results! Thanks, Nana!

2) Soothe Your Senses:
Heat up some water in a pot or micro until almost bowling. Pour it into a large bowl and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil (i heat eucalyptus or lavender). Lean your freshly washed face over the bowl and allow the steam to penetrate your skin. The oils will calm your senses at the same time!

3) Freshen That Face:
After your "steam" treatment apply a clay based mask to really get a clean glow!

4) Buff Before Bed:
Uh, say what? You heard me...even if you don't have time for a whole kit and kaboodle pedicure you can soften those tired toes. Soak your twinkle-toes in warm water for ~ 5 mins. Then buff using a handle buffer to smooth away rough skin. Layer on the thick stuff moisturizer and slide into some comfy socks before you hit the hay!

Copper is SOOO Katy Perry!

Fashionistas, I'm BAAAACK! Sorry for the lil' delay. I've had a detour to say the least. But lets get crackin'. I found this must-do make-up look this afternoon and I'm gettin' Tee Hee's {heart giggles} all over the place. I didn't even have to "kiss the girl or like it" Ew! SO wrong! But we can "shut up and put your money..." where your makeup should be.

To achieve the look start with a light application of a copper hue of shadow on the upper lid. Add contoured chocolate brown on top to the upper lid. Trace the lower lash line heavily with the same copper shadow used above. Don't forget the 'scara... I'm obsessed with the new one for Bare Esscentuals that lengthens! So fabby! What do my lil' beautinistas think? Love it or loathe it?
