My Favorite Cinderella Story

Is, you guessed it - Pretty Woman!


What girl doesn't adore this movie from the minute she sees it?
Indeed, this must be one of the many reasons I fell in love with the idea of Beverly Hills and Hollywood.

Falling in Love


I must have been only 8 years the first time I saw it - my baby sitter braught it over for me and my sis to watch, and I fell in love with the romance, clothes, and storyline.


Then I didn't see it again until a few years later, when me and my best friend rented it on one of our sleep overs. That's when I developed my crush on Richard Gere.


It's funny how girls have different preferences for guys. Some like the tatooed bad boys; for me it's always been handsome, classy buisnessman and I'm sure I have this movie to thank at least in part.





I bought the movie on VHS when I was about 13, and watched it at least once a week. I made all my friends watch it when they came over, and they grew to love it too.

Do you love this movie as much as I do?

Kawaii Inspired Face Of The Day







Today I decided to take some inspiration from across the world -the fasion magazines of Japan.


I've always loved the Kawaii look of the Japanese models.


What does Kawaii mean?


Kawaii means cute in Japanese!!!




I am sure there are already many of you who follow my blog that have been into Gyaru fashion and kawaii fashion models for awhile now - so sorry if this seems old and I bore you =P. But I wanted to show you the inspiration behind this face of the day.






Kawaii fashion models are real life dolls.


They all seem to have certain things in common:


-most of them have bangs that go straight across their face
-they all have giant, big dolly eyes. (Ryan thinks they are all photo shopped, but I like to think it is natural)
-They usually dress in pastels - pinks, yellows and purples.
-They always have innocent and child like expressions on their faces - little to none American "sex appeal" present.




In keeping with the magainze theme, know my pics are highly air brushed!







Face: MAC Studio Fix in N25,MAC Liquid Concealer


Cheeks: Sephora bronzer to contour, Love & Beauty blush on apples


Eyes: MAC shimmer moss shadow, No Name shadow in dark blue to contour,Diorshow Extase Mascara in black, L.A. Girl sharpie liquid eyeliner


Lips:MAC Viva Glam Gaga, Stila shimmergloss


Hope you enjoyed this fun face of the day.

さようなら!

Lipstick, Polish, And Bronzer! (Swatch Heavy)

Hello, Dolls!!!

Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend.
I've had a nice laid back weekend.
Saw Inception today and holy crap is all I can say!!! It's a total mind bender and I think I will have to see it again to get a full grasp .. Leo was stunning as always!!! I loved his hair in the movie, he looked so chic and hot .. Ryan is growing his hair out like that, and I love it!!!

Anywhooo .... after the movie I went to drop off a prescription and walked around the drug store while I waited. As always, I picked up a few goodies.

Rimmel Lipstick in Coral Queen

I'm REALLY liking this cheapie lipstick, especially considering that corals usually look like crap on me. This is a bit more vibrant, and perfect for summer. I doubt it will ever be a daily go to for me, but good for summer vacations and exotic trips =)

GOSH Giant Sun Powder

The name is pretty simple and self explanatory for this one shade fits all, giant plat of bronzing powder. It is super silky, and very buildable. It has a delicious sheen to it, and again, great for summer nights.

REVLON Top Speed Polish - Lily

Photobucket

I'm so happy at recently discovering these candy colored Revlon polishes last week. They dry within minutes (five minutes tops) and the pastel colors are to die for. I've already bought four since coming across them. I would recomend at least a top coat in order to avoid chipping, as these do tend to chip fasster than Essie or OPI.

Here is Peachy (last week's polish) on my nails:

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I've been relaxing all weekend, and it's felt great. Tomorrow is a Canadian holiday too, (yay!) so more sleeping in =) Will have to do a bit of school work though, and maybe get myself to the gym.
Bye Bye For Now!
