To know me is to know I love Rachel Roy. I own a shit ton of stuff labelled Rachel by Rachel Roy, and covet much more from her. My favourite shoes and birthday dress this year are Rachel creations. Actually, I am wearing her dress in my profile picture. That was my first one! What can I say its a classy, toned down version of all the trends, yet funky. I bought a fur vest- yes super on trend, but I didn't feel to out there because the fur was thin and faux of course. It is just effortlessly amazing. http://www.rachelroy.com/New-Arrivals/110004702,default,sc.html Here is my sister at my convocation wearing RR on the right

I cannot encourage you enough to seek out the top eyebrow specialist in your city and book an appointment. Yes, it is going to be expensive. Yes, it is going to be more than what you want to or would usually spend on your seemingly insignificant eyebrows. But it will be worth it, have trust. Your eyebrows are what shape your face. They are the changeable foundation. You can't substantially change  your acne, skin tone, big pores or what have you. But you can make a slight change to this part of your foundation. You want the best, you gotta pay for the best. I found The Brow Studio, located in Quorra locations on 17th and in Bankers Hall here in Calgary. Went a few times, looooved the results and brought back everyone I know. They too sang the praises of this face changing experience. I read magazines religiously, I knew what made a good brow and had some nice ones myself. Now I have amazing eyebrows. I went a few times and once we had found the best shape and everything was

  I tried threading on my eyebrows a few years ago and my eyes watered sooooo bad that I was to embarrassed to ever go back. Plus there were no places close to my house. I'm not one for exerting effort. Plus I found an amazing eye brow artist (I'll blog about that later) so I have no need to thread my brows. But for everywhere else this could be super helpful. Who wants to be the first to let me experiment on their face?! http://www.beautylish.com/v/gvgvy/threading-eyebrows-and-facial-hair-how-to-tutorial

I have been using this product off and on for years! My mom introduced it to me probably when I first started painting my nails, then stopped doing them, then moved out and forgot about this great product. But for the past 3 years I have been a hardcore fanatic. I paint my nails almost everyday, and you can bet that this nail hardener is the first thing I put on. I have converted so many friends to it and they now swear by it. It does go on clear, do not let the murky colour fool you.

You know when you have an idea of what you want in a accessory in your head but never seem to be able to find it in stores. Solution: Three Little Birds Jewelry (  http://www.facebook.com/ThreeLittleBirdsJewellery?sk=info  ) Beautiful! I will be ordering from her very soon.

Confession: I have a not so secret obsession with the Kardashians. Khloe is my favourite. So I was super stoked with I heard they were coming out with a nail polish line with Nicole by O.P.I. Look at the one called Khloe had a little Lam-Lam. How cute! I know I am a grown educated woman, but let me have my fun!

Love Love Love LOVE these! I no longer use any other eye shadows. That is right. I am playing favorites. I bought the naked eye palette first and of course lusted, loved and everything thing else. The colours and simple yet gorgeous. You get a beautiful eye from the simplicity of it.  There are little cards in there to show you where to put each colour where. Quick lesson: Lightest colour all over lid up to below the brow (make sure the colour isn't toooo dark, use your discretion) , next lighter shade on the lid and the darker colour in the crease then drag it down in the corner. I only use a brush. I then had to purchase Romantic eye. This one has more funky colours, so I have only used it at night. But again I will use the word Love. Around $45 at Sephora
