the loved one

who doesn’t love vintage inspired lingerie? if you don’t, there could be something seriously wrong with you.

good lingerie is a staple item every girl should have in their wardrobe. single or not, you never know when you could be caught wearing something that’s let say, not so flattering.

that being said, a new line of lingerie: “the loved one” will be debuting their first line at an exclusive pop up store in space 15twenty  february 4th.

described as “naughty, but playful — something you’d feel comfy wearing at a slumber party or with mood lighting for your loved one.” perfect. I adore everything and want it all (of course).

beauty wish list

yes, i make a beauty wish list. along with lots of other lists.

sometimes i even forward this list to a friend, lover or family member as a “reminder” that i like gifts.

my days of having multiple jars of la mer creme are over. now that i am adult and have responsibilities like paying rent and all that jazz, i can no longer splurge on pricey cosmetics whenever i want. so i make a wish list.

ps- this beauty wish list is updated everyday, and by next month i probably won’t even remeber the fact that i have been obsessing about the items listed below.

tom ford smoke red lipstick

 

chanel black pearl nail colour

 

balenciaga paris caviar scrub...fancy

 

chloe love perfume

models & more models

i must say, i am thoroughly impressed with some of the latest ad campaigns that are out right now.

they are really visually appealing and a nice break from some waify model looking passed out, or jumping mid air for who knows what reason (although i don’t mind those sometimes).

anyway, i liked these ones from bottega venetta, louis vuitton, and dior so much i just had to share them.

try this at home

here is a nifty trick that TOTALLY works!

for those who have an obsession with red polish, you know the unfortunate yellow pigment stain in tends to leave behind if the polish is left on too long.

no worries! this can easily be avoided by

1) use a base coat!

2) when removing your red polish, use a cotton ball soaked in whitening mouthwash to help remove any staining.

this is not a best music of 2010 list

you have enough lists to deal with: shopping lists, grocery lists, to-do lists. over at et musique pour tous they no speak best of 2010 list, just insanely good music, and that is exactly what january’s mixtape from et musique pour tous + steph lund is: a collection of the most insanely good tracks from 2010’s le miel du mois mixtapes.

did you sleep on steph’s le miel du mois in 2010? we have a new year’s resolution for you: download the ridiculous jams at the start of each month, every month, starting right now!

derek lam / spring 2011

i am loving this pop of eye color shown at the derek lam runway show!

a clean natural face, and nice bright color pair so nicely together. this is a pretty bold look to try, but if you are feeling the urge to try something new, i would suggest using a pale tangerine shade eyeshadow that allows buildable color, and a nice white shadow to be used only in the inner corners of your eyes (this helps them appear bigger).

be prepared to see more looks similar to this one for spring/summer 2011

coachella 2011!

the anticipation nearly killed me … BUT it’s here and, yes, it’s the real coachella line up. so don’t wait around any longer—get your tickets! this will sell out fast.

this year is going to be great. all three days are pretty solid with some really great artists. i will be in indo, covering all three days under the blistering sun, bringing you updates and images via our twitter channel on the best coachella beauty, style, and , of course, music.

YOUTHblog’s coachella 101 and coachella essentials features from last year will be returning for 2011 and will be better than ever.

stay tuned for my open letter to coachella artists, and a bangin playlist!

and thank you goldenvoice for once again coming up with a lineup that is something to write home about.

xo

ps- i totally think they are going to add daft punk last minute.

new year, new lipstick

no matter how bad of a day i am having, for some reason buying a new lipstick always picks me up.

this was the case the other day, and i found “love devotion” from nars. it’s a super sheer coral/poppy that looks pretty bright, but once applied, it gives you a nice natural finish with just enough color so you aren’t looking dull. in my opinion, it’s great for all skin tones.

start off the new year with a new lipstick, i swear it will totally make you happy.

get into it / best albums of 2010

i am super excited to be bringing you the very best in new beauty products, as well as posts that are more about a lifestyle—not just beauty all the time.

i myself am inspired daily by music, and it plays a huge role in every aspect of my life.

my goal is to incorporate more music posts, and coverage of shows i will be attending.

so i guess the best way to start this is off is with urban outfitters best music of 2010 guide. they are on point with this list! beach house, best coast, caribou, deerhunter and more!

check it out, dance, swoon and update your ipod already.

thank you!

goodbye 2010, and hello 2011!

i would personally like to thank everyone—friends, family and fans—for all of your support this year.
YOUTHblog has really grown, and the launch of YOUTHskin/care still blows my mind (would not have been possible without my amazing business partner and dear friend mike).

i  don’t really do the whole new years resolutions thing…if you want to do something, just do it. plain and simple. make it happen, even if you have no idea where to even start.

that is what i did this past year, and it wasn’t easy by any means. it was a long hard year with ups and downs, but most of all i learned so much about myself.

so i am looking forward to 2011, which i can feel will really be great! i am on the road to becoming a better version of me, and really looking forward to see what’s in store for YOUTHskin/care!

that being said, i cannot thank you enough for all your support and reading my silly, and sometimes informative posts.

have a fun, safe and awesome new years!  on to the next one!

start the year off right by kissing someone like you mean it.

stay pretty.

holiday beauty!

i personally love the holidays because this is the one time of year where i feel ok wearing something completely covered in sequins, lots of gold, bright crimson lips, and bold eye makeup. basically, anything that hands down would have  gotten me into studio 54.

i am really liking the trend of a colored smokey eye…it isn’t your traditional smokey eye that’s just, well, a little out played. make it fun! add dark emerald tones, or dark purples to mix it up. cover girl’s eyeshadow in shimmering onyx is perfect for this look.

if you opt for a bold lip instead of a bold eye (remember, it’s either or) go for a deep crimson, or a really bold orange or pink. my favorites are ysl’s le orange, and lola cosmetics red lipstick in steam. both are long-lasting, and really hydrating.

as for nails, go big or go home! i am obsessed with deborah lippmann’s bad romance and across the universe, and you can NEVER go wrong with opi’s vodka & caviar shade.
