Just when I thought I had seen all the great websites on nails my mom breaks this one out on me! The name of the website is Emerald Sparkled and she does all her own nail art and manicures. I must say, they are all amazing. She'll do some freehand nail art, some water marbling, basic french, moon manicures, nail art and moon manicures combined, manicures inspired by rings, movies, flowers, artworks, wallpaper, a grafitti wall she saw...anything! It's amazing! I am so impressed. Here are some of her best below.

A Very Gaga Holiday

2011-12-06T16:45:00.000-08:00

A little late on posting these but you probably heard that for christmas Lady Gaga opened her own mini boutique in Barneys New York. She created a line exclusively for Barneys NY for the holidays. Everything from chocolate lipsticks to melted sunglasses. Here are some of my favorite things.

Lucite laser cut necklace.

Rock candy Earrings.

Double stacked ring.

This amazing ring made me drool.

If this wasn't over $600 dollars i'd have it on right now.

Huge Gaga bust candle. (the wax comes out of the eyes like tears)

For all the baby monsters out there.

I love this shade of red.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011

2011-11-30T20:26:00.000-08:00

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show aired yesterday & I must say that it is GAWGEOUS! Lingerie, beautiful models, show stopping musical performances and a star studded crowd (Including Lala Lopez, Orlando Bloom, Beyoncé, Joe Manganiello, and Russell Simmons). One of the hightlights for me is when New mother Miranda Kerr took her first walk since giving birth 10 months ago and her husband (Orlando Bloom) stood up in applause for her. Another highlight was Kanye West coming out and introducing his song saying, "I was supposed to perform this song on the show 5 years ago but i lost my superhero, now she's my super angel." Referring to his mother who died around that time. Later in the show Jay-Z joined him onstage and performed their new hit "Ni**as In Paris." All in all the show was beautiful.

The show had 6 themed looks:

Passion: Various hispanic inspired looks.

I Put A Spell On You: Looks that pull from old New Orleans.

Angels Aquatic: Underwater flowy looks.

Ballet: Holiday ballet beauty!

Super Angels: Superhero latex and huge capes.

Club Pink: With a Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry Bubblegum Pop feel.

Comme des Fuckdown

2011-11-30T00:13:00.000-08:00

I came across this hat over the weekend that I believe to be the best snapback i've ever seen. From the label SSUR comes this hat that plays off of the high end brand "COMME des GARÇONS".

I've been looking for hours & I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere.

Though while searching i did score this awesome SSUR tank on sale on Karmaloop. Plus i signed up for their mailing list for a $10 off code which brought my total to a grand $12.95 including shipping. Score.

Get your Dukes on!

2011-11-21T21:00:00.001-08:00

Oh my goodness, I have found salvation!...in short shorts!

Christian Yasser Massuh is a designer based out of Miami who makes amazing studded, ripped, dip dyed and ombre denim short shorts. His brand is called Runwaydreamz & you better bet I'll be dreaming about these until there's a pair on my body. THESE SHORTS! (which would look amazing with my Lita boots) Each pair is customized by hand on vintage denim, so every pair is one of a kind. These shorts have been worn by the likes of Kylie Jenner, Beyoncé & Rihanna all ranging from $100-$300. I say the price is completely worth it, they're all gorgeous.

Oh Runwaydreamz.....soon you will be mine.

The most popular style is the #617 which is the american flag design but my personal favorite is the "Scarlett" which is the first one pictured.

Just look at these fantastic outfits I found on Polyvore. (already planning a future for me & my shorts)

P.S. Torrey if you don't get a pair of these I will kill you. You have legs for days & these would look amazing!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am OBSESSED with nails! So the biggest blow when I was hired at Starbucks was when I was told that nail polish was not in the dress code (not even clear!). I absolutely love my job & honestly thats the only thing I can complain about. But you better believe that on my days off I have a fresh coat on my hands =] . Here are some great manicures I found online & cannot wait to try out.

I recently fell in love with Linda Farrow sunglasses. They'v been given a lot of attention because of one of their famous customers: Lady Gaga. Here are some of my favorites from this crazy good sunglasses line.

These Minnie mouse ones are my favorite.

Just released sneak peek of the Versace for H&M line! It'll be available on November 19th. But will it top the sales of the much loved Lanvin for H&M line. Its hard to tell since the styles of the 2 are so polar opposite. From huge tulle poufs and pastels to neon tigers and head to toe leather.

Jeffrey Campbell...You Are My Soul Mate!

2011-10-29T11:25:00.000-07:00

I have a new infatuation.....Jeffrey Campbell. I'm sad it took me this long to discover him. Recently I bought my first pair of his shoes. I went with the classic Lolita pump in black distressed leather. I have to say: with a 5inch heel and a 3inch platform i was a bit worried about being able to walk. But the second i slid them on all my worries went away, they are by far the most comfortable and stable platform shoes i've ever owned!

Now I just got the simple black but the Lita comes in so many other patterns and colors theres one to fit the style of every girl. Here are some of the other amazing versions of Miss Lita!

Am I the only one completely obsessed with getting my nails done? I think not. I found my new favorite website called All Lacquered Up which is dedicated to none other than the fabulous world of nails and nail polishes. I currently have about 50 bottles of Chanel, OPI, Essie, China Glaze and Dior polishes and i have no idea what to do with them now that i work at Starbucks. In of the dress code rules is, you guessed it: no nail polish...not even clear. Devastating for someone like me who coordinated their nails with their outfits almost everyday. but hey I'll get over it...maybe.

If you haven't seen this movie yet..go rent it. It's the story of a fashion photographer looking for something besides the airhead models he works with. It has an amazing cast including Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, and Kay Thompson & original songs by Gershwin.

Here are some of the fashion photos from the movie.

Beautiful Nail Polish

2010-01-27T21:26:00.000-08:00

I have just found the most amazing nail polish color in the world. It is by O.P.I. and is part of their new Alice in Wonderland collection. I looked at the ads for the polishes before online and they honestly did not do them any justice. They really are amazing. The best ones are "Absolutely Alice" which is a beautiful blue thick glitter with little specks of gold. "Mad As A Hatter" is a rainbow glitter. My favorite is "Mad As A Hatter", I'm wearing it right now. Here are some pictures that show their beauty a little more. But honestly you have to see it in person. I can't stop looking down at my hand.
