Sorry about the random posting but i feel that it's going to be like this for a while more. I'm still trying to figure out how much work I need to do to get the grades I got last year. But I have so much to say!
First off, makeup. I know many people who are concerned with the chemicals in the products they wear. This is totally reasonable (who wants to buy something bad for you?) but good products that aren't filled with chemicals are hard to find. I have a certain standard for my products chemically but with mascara and lip gloss these go out the window. I want my lip gloss to be slightly tinted, and normally VERY shiny. This doesn't happen in the natural products I've found. Also with mascara, I want big, dark, glossy, separated and full lashes. Same problem as lip gloss but I'm almost there with my eyelashes. I have a natural lash builder that I layer under my mascara so I don't have to put tons on. This isn't perfect but I'm interested in you, Are you more interested in results, or the label in the back?
Secondly, since it's awards season, I want to talk about dresses. Though there hasn't been too many this year I'd like to speak about the strapless fishtail dress. I feel there is so much bias against this and I don't like it. Yes, a l0t of the time it's boring and bland but the people showing us these dresses have a bias before seeing the dress. I mean, everyone remembers the line of boring dresses last year but how many remember Anne Hathaway's Armani sequin dress? A lot I hope. So don't bash the strapless fishtail dress!
Lastly, and shortly, I made crepes last night and they're sooo fun! Everyone should make them because after the third time it's easy and fun and with a little powder sugar delicious!

Golden Globes
I have so much to say that I'll to do it in note form:
Drew Barrymore-Loved the color of her dress but I wasn't feeling her sparkly hip thing
Sandra Bullock-The bold purple stood out against all the neutrals, plus the sheer bits were lovely
Penelope Cruz-No opinion on her dress but her hair was great
Jennifer Garner-So lovely!
Halle Berry-Loved her dress the first time but pictures don't thrill me
Marion Cotillard-Her dress was incredible and one of the only green dresses in the red carpet
Fergie-Incredible dress of course, though a bit too tan for my taste
Lea Michele-Perfect in Oscar de la Renta
Maggie Gyllenhaal-The origami detailing and peachy-blush color were great
Anna Kendrick-I like her dress but I think it would've been a thousand time better without the ruffle
Amy Adams-I liked this but I feel like I've seen this before
Diane Kruger-Her makeup was great and on first look I liked her dress. Second glance I thought it was to bright, but now I like it again
Olivia Wilde-On TV I liked her makeup tons and thought her dress was okay. In pictures I think it's too much makeup and a great dress
Carey Mulligan-I didn't like her dress but I loved the headband
Emily Blunt-Perfection
Christina Aguilera-Looked great in her dress and rocked her short cut
January Jones-Lovely hair and makeup
Chloe Sevigny-I've gotten to the point where I love everything she wears.
I have many more thoughts but they'll have to wait until tomorrow until then mes amis!

I would just like to say that while the vocals are in dispute, I love the video as a work of art.

Sorry for the somewhat sporadic posting. Lame excuse, but in my effort to procrastinate from schoolwork, I've been putting off everything. I went shopping Friday night with my friend which was fun. Though they're between seasons, they still have lovely things. My favorites were their florals and coats. I tried on many dress but only bought one black and green-purple-white floral dress. It's very cute and even though it's a very spring-y dress I'm looking forward to wearing it soon. I also bought a pair of red platform heels from payless. Last night I went to a party and watched Snl which was AMAZING! The MacGruebers were especially good, "Pass me the pen" "Which one?" "The African American one" Too Funny.
Spring Collections are coming out and I am very excited because spring is my favorite time of year. I am so over Winter by now. Romanticism is in for spring how much fun is that! Ruffles and layers of sheer are easily dressed, up down and made tough by a doc martins and a blazer.

School
It's hard to accept that school, restarts tomorrow. So I've planned and studied and now what? With only hours left what do I do? Buy the new issue of TeenVogue of course! Jessica Szohr is on the cover and I love her. I love how TeenVogue says it, (this is paraphrased of course) She's beautiful, but not bleached blonde and look at me beautiful. She's real with thick brown hair uncommon among starlets. Her character on Gossip Girl is edgy and different than the people she finds her old friend hanging out with. In real life she's relatively low-key which I love. Since this is the Valentines issue the stuff listed was so girly I melted. Like these Cynthia Rowling rings.
Of course the pink and purple and red were interrupted with refreshingly edgy items. These BC Footwear flats for example.
Bye till (Insert date here)!
