Happy Monday!

Goodmorning all!
It's a very chilly morning here in LA... Brrrr
And I'm from Boston so for me to say its cold says something!
I got an email saying my first Ipsy glam bag should be arriving today! I'm so excited! I will write a review of the items I receive!!
Here is a picture of the cute scarf I'm wearing today. It's reversible, the other side has flowers!
Also, the next pic is a pair of heels that I am just in love with right now!! They are identical to Jeffrey Campbell's night walk... But more affordable. I was just admiring them at this little boutique near UCLA. Ahhh shoes...
Anyway, I'll post more later, just checking in while I have some time on the bus to work!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!!
Hope everyone had a fabulous night!
I ended up going to this bar downtown that I went last year... my friend and I swore we wouldn't go there this year, but lo and behold, that is where we ended up again. But it was fun, the music was good. This is what I wore!
I curled my hair using my straightener that I bought (the PYT styling tool -- seriously best investment ever!) It took me some time because I sectioned it off and did small pieces, but I know that as I get better at using it it will take less and less time!  I think my hair came out fabulous! I love it! I intertwined pieces to get the layered look and it all was in one huge curl, i loved it! ALSO, may I note that I DID NOT USE ANY HAIRSPRAY!!!!!! And my hair stayed like this all night!!! My hair is usually so hard to curl and keep in a curl! I woke up this morning and my hair was still curly too! This styling tool is amazing, I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants an easy way to curl their hair!
As far as my makeup, I used my Dior show Blackout mascara -- my eyelashes looked fake! My mom was convinced I put false lashes on, but they were all mine! I wish I took a picture of my eyelashes!
I also used a goldish eyeshadow from Maybelline and created a smokey eye look with the MAC Smutty Green eyeshadow I blogged about previously! It came out really great! Topped my lids with liquid liner and voila!

Merry after Christmas!

Merry after Christmas!
Hope everyone had a great holiday!
I know I enjoyed spending it with my family! Especially since I don't come home often it was good to just relax and spend time with my parents! I received new clothes from Hollister and A&F, they are so comfortable and cute! I'll blog about them later, maybe. I also received some makeup, I got this mineralized eyeshadow from MAC - in Smutty Green. It is such a pretty color, green with black hues and glitter. It works to create a subtle smokey shade! I took a few pictures when I wore it out but not very good quality -- I'll try to take better pictures when I wear it out again!
The next picture is my outfit when I went to church on Christmas eve! My failed attempt to curl my hair using my styling tool -- its hard! I will try again, but I just think I am not doing it right! I wore some cherry red lipstick from Maybelline, my favorite red hue. My outfit was glam and just right for the holidays!
The last two pics are of my outfit from Saturday night! I wore my Jordan jeans from Motel, paired with a black zipper back top and spiked black wedge heels! It was a cute outfit, and my Jordan jeans even glowed in the black light! It was pretty cool!
What did you get for christmas?
AH I need to figure out what I'm doing for NYE and what I am going to wear! I have a few dresses in mind (some that I have blogged about here, and one that I don't think I posted about). But New years eve is in a few days! AH! What are you doing? and more importantly, what are you wearing?! haha let me know!
xoxo A

New PYT hair styling tool!

Soooo... I went christmas shopping today for my last gifts I had to get.... and I came home with a $200 straightener for myself.... But I got a 50% off deal for it! It was awesome. I got dragged in to see how my hair would look and the sales person Chelsea showed me a comparison of this new PYT hair straightener with the Chi straightener, and this PYT made it so much smoother and silkier. I automatically fell in love. Especially since I highlighted my hair with the ombre, I feel like the ends of my hair are very dry. This took care of it! Chelsea then went on to start curling my hair with this iron, and she curled my entire head of hair (that will take me 1hr with a traditional curling iron or curling wand) in about 10 minutes! and the curls last (see picture below!) The curls look really great as well. The original price she was trying to sell me at was $140, and then I got her to give me a better deal if I said I would tell people about it. I got it in this electric blue color, and its just amazing. I'm wearing my hair out like this tonight, and hoping it stays all night, without hairspray! (they guaranteed me they would last all night...).
Also, they said I can go get my hair styled by them 5 times for free. So going there to get my hair done for new years eve!
Well anyway, thought I'd blog about this new buy... and I am no longer buying anything for myself for a while (or so I tell myself!). This Straightener/styling tool is on sale at the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua, NH, or at any PYT authorized seller. For more info, check out pythair.com :) I highly recommend it.
