Time Capsule: August 2012

 

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” -Mae West

 Aloe Blacc- I Need A Dollar

This track is a couple years old, but I just love how soulful and old-school it is. Enjoy!

Beauty Raves

Here are just a few of the beauty prods that I just can't get enough of lately:

Kiehl's Creme de Corps Whipped Body Butter

This stuff is heavenly. It smells utterly edible and goes on like buttahhhh. I especially love using this on my legs, since I've been living in my little shorts and dresses all summer.  I truly wish I had found it sooner; it's one of those products that I just know is my new HG. Remind me to swallow my pride and pay the $48 for the large tub next time... the sales girl was right. Creme de Corps is ridiculously addictive.

MAC Lustreglass in Love Nectar

This lip gloss is another one of those products that I'd heard rave reviews about for years, but just never got around to trying it myself. It's so natural on my lips, imparting a neutral rose gold-flecked hue. It isn't going to give you a lot of pigment, but for a girl who just likes a pretty, glossy pout... this is perfect.

MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Superb

Sweep on this champagne-colored highlighting powder, and immediately you'll discover sky-high cheekbones. As an added bonus, it photographs beautifully. Enough said.

What I'm Loving Now: Karen Egren Pendants

 

The Pave Disc Necklace (in yellow gold)

The Pave Cross Necklace (in rose gold)

 

The Pave Infinity Necklace (in yellow gold)

While I love fashion, I definitely prefer to keep my accessories more simple and understated. Versatile and dainty, I've found myself wearing my client Karen Egren's pave pendant necklaces daily. I get so many compliments on all of these; I barely go a day without telling someone where I purchased them. Effortlessly gorgeous.
