RIP

One of my favorite purchases of all time has left me. We've been through a lot every since we met because of my all-time favorite recycling program, Back-2-MAC. Of course I'm speaking of my Rebel lipstick, a vivid hot-pink with some purple undertones. Perfect hot pink lip for my skin color.

Rebel: every time I wore you I got compliments. I admit, at times I was a bit negligent, like that time I left you at a girl's house after a crazy night out watching Crystal Castles. Luckily, we were reunited. However, I seem to have lost or misplaced you. You were so good to me and things will never be the same; that is, until I make the effort to replace you by driving out to the Brea Mall and actually buy one.

RIP Rebel lippy and godspeed.

BACKSTAGE: CHRISTIAN DIOR SPRING/SUMMER 2010

BACKSTAGE: CHRISTIAN DIOR SPRING/SUMMER 2010


Ahhhh, love, love, LOVE!

1) Finger waves -- I need to try this out especially since my hair is naturally wavy.

2) The intensity and softness of the make-up -- especially on the girl in picture #2

3) The uniqueness of each of their outfits -- tied together with the common theme of a heavy black boot.

H-Ween

I forgot I hadn't posted my Halloween pictures. Oops -- a little late but better than never. Anyways, extra points if you can guess what this is all about before I reveal it at the bottom of this post. I spent my evening dancing the night away at HARD Halloween at the Shrine in Downtown LA.

I was pretty pleased with myself on how the ears turned out. It was my first go at them and I think they got the job done. I already had the gray headband and bought some gray and sparkly pink felt from Michael's. Its the only thing I bought so my outfit cost a total of about a $1.10 -- BOOM.

So back to the outfit....I was .....


a dead mouse.....
get it....like Deadmau5 (the DJ)?

You can't see it very well in this shot, but I put Xs on my eyelids


[vest: Forever 21, tank: H&M, leggings: 99 cents store, boots: ?]

It was a great night, especially because Deadmau5 played a surprise set! By far Justice's set was my favorite. Oh, and of course, I forgot to paint on my little mouse nose and whiskers. I'm sure I would have rubbed it off throughout the night anyway.

I'm liking the cold.

Yay. Its cold! Well, I'm a Southern California girl, so when it hits below 70, I'm cold! Either way, colder weather means I get to bring out the coats and scarves. Usually I find it hard to put together an outfit when I'm shivering -- I rather just throw on some sweats and a hoodie and be over with it. This is my first winter of me trying to be good and keep up with my "not look like slob" promise. I wore this outfit to work last week.


Coat: Charlotte Russe, white bow top: H&M, purple skirt: H&M, tights: Target

Also, I've been adding to my collection of shoes. These black cut-out zip-ups come from Forever 21

This whole exposed zipper trend is totally up my alley. I love it! And I like how it gives a fashion-forward edge to an otherwise simple work outfit. Pow!

xoxo,
Karla

Time for a wax?

Is it just me or does it look like Whitney Port needs to hit up the salon?

[Photo Cred: Google, click for a clearer view]

The black lace trim is cute on her halter bandeau top, but not so much on the bottom. It seriously looks like her bush is out at full force.

Note to self: make sure I don't look like I'm in dire need of hot wax when I head out the door.
