Win a Bobbi Brown "Pretty Powerful" Make-over!!!


I am so excited about Bobbi Brown's Fall 2012 collection, Desert Twillight!! I attended a previous Bobbi Brown beauty blogger make-up event, and fell absolutely in love with the their new products. I was moreso captivated by the story and inspiration behind this particular line, and how Bobbi Brown stepped outside of her comfort zone by adding beautifully, bold colors. Somehow, Bobbi has still been able to maintain a rather natural look with this statement collection. So you ask, "What inspired this collection?" Bobbi Brown was inspired to launch this collection after shooting a photo shoot in the dessert. She was intrigued by how the sunset illuminated various shadows of color during the photo shoot, annd hence we now have Desert Twillight!



Check me out at the top left getting a skincare make-over! I love how Bobbi Brown places a special emphasis on skincare, and caters to all skin types from normal to oily to dry to acne-prone skin. There is something in store for everyone! What was even more amazing was the consultation that I recieved while getting pampered for the day. I learned about what products work best for my skin type, which is a combination of oily and dry skin. As a result, my skin felt great and very hydrated. I will definitely be revisiting 900 N. Michigan at Bloomingdale's for a few skincare products by Bobbi Brown. All of the sales associates were very personable and sweet, and were willing to help you in any way they could. They even had cookies, cupcakes, and beverages for our hunger pleasures...which might I add, were delicious (lol)!

I had to purchase the Bronzer/Blush Duo in Bahama Brown Shimmer Blush and Pink Peony Illuminating Bronzer :)

I now want to give 5 lucky winners the opportunity to try out this new collection, along with Bobbi Brown's other amazing products! Yes, I want to send 5 lucky ladies to get pampered for a day by Bobbi Brown at the 900 North Bloomingdale's on Saturday, August 25th from 4:30-5:00pm. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, August 21st.

Take It To The Streets Pt. I

Here are a few photos that I took while I was out and about in the lovely city of wind!!! In these shots, I try to emphasis how colorful fashion can be. Thus, fashion comes in many different styles and vice versa (lol but serious...ponder on that for a minute please). Nonetheless, this is the belief that I have adopted considering the notion that fashion, in my opinion, has no set rules or boundaries.



Thrifted glasses, vintage jewelry and accessories, Forever 21 necklace, dress, and denim jacket, Kenneth Cole sandals...who says you can't wear silver and gold together!?
Here's a little secret about me, I never wear silver unless I pair it with something gold...so make your own rules!







It was a lovely day to take pics in the park :-)
