Ballerina Chic

Ever since starting dance, I want to dress ballerina chic all day, every day..

Black stirrup leggings

Pale pinks and soft grays

Palm warmers

Ballet flats

Duffle bags

All from Topshop.. who I have a beef with at the moment. Don’t order from them online unless you are ok with getting your items a month or two later. They also don’t respond to customer service emails :(

If you’re lucky enough to be in NY near their Broadway store… shop away

Absinthe Lips

Although it won’t make you hallucinate, Absinthe Lips from For Strange Women offers a handmade balm flavored like Absinthe when it’s prepared with sugar. I’ve never partied with Absinthe before, but its flavor is often compared to Sambuca and/or black licorice-which I LOVE. Along with Absinthe Lips, For Strange Women offers a gorgeous array of 100% natural “eccentricities” and curious beauty goods.

Would You: Easy Feet

I was going to take a little break from blogging until the first of the year, but I couldn’t wait. Who knows how NEW this is, but I just saw the infomercial for a weird little contraption called Easy Feet. Are we really that lazy that we can’t scrub our own feet in the bath? I understand it may be good for prego’s or the elderly, but I’m still “eh” about it . I have dancer’s feet (yeah I know poor me- it’s gross) so I make it a point to pumice and polish each and EVERY time I’m in the shower; it’s been a routine of mine for years. I just sit on the edge of the tub and scrub away. Plus I can’t help but think how much bacteria it may accumulate… remember that some people actually PEE and/or blow their noses in the shower! Think of that when you slip your foot into that thing. Would YOU?

First Look: Hello Kitty Beauty

We  posted teaser photos a while back, now I have official images of Sephora’s Hello Kitty beauty collection which will officially launch in January.

Here are my favorites:

Liquid Nail Art $10 each

A high-quality nail lacquer in a range of pastel colors.

Hello Kitty Fragrance $55

You’re sure to feel sweet and fancy with this pretty perfume. Made with some of Hello Kitty’s favorite things, its notes of green apple and Japanese fruits will make you smile inside. As the fragrance’s heart comes forward, you’ll smell rich floral accords and a wink of warm vanilla. A little hint of musk is present in the base notes, adding a touch of glamour to a twinkling fragrance created especially for the young-at-heart.

Hello Kitty Fragrance Rollerball $18

Charmmy Kohl Eyeliner Kit $25

This adorable tin pencil box contains a range of colors that lets you experiment with different looks. Each eyeliner pencil contains a formulation with a high percentage of pigments for exceptional color release and a soft, velvety texture to glide along the lid line with ease.

Blotting Papers $12 (100 sheets)

These blotting papers instantly reduce shine and absorb excess oil to refresh your complexion. Held in a paper envelope with an adorable design, each linen is subtly printed with the Hello Kitty logo.

Brush Set $49

This set of quality makeup brushes comes in a large metallic silver Hello Kitty container. To reveal the brushes inside, simply lift Kitty’s head. Each brush features synthetic white bristles with pink tips.

Compact Mirror $18

Feeling amazingly gorgeous begins with this sparkling Hello Kitty mirror. Its shiny silver-colored surface is a must-have addition to your purse. It opens to reveal two mirrors, both 1x and 3x magnification.

My Kind of PS

This arrived in my inbox this morning.

I’m tempted to mistake the PS3 on our Christmas list for this PS1 ;)

While you are Holiday shopping, are you ever tempted to splurge on yourself?
