DESIGNER LOVE: VERSACE SPRING SUMMER 2012

In all the common designer brands, Versace falls in my top 3 or could as well be my best!!!! I love the greek goddess feel of the clothes, they turn simple designs to beautiful pieces with gold hues. I just love it!!! I don't own any Versace pieces but I still watch the pieces and I wanted to share with you guys my favorites from the 2012 spring summer collection!!!

This is my absolute fave look of all of them!!! Thigh slit and the details on the chest are just too beautiful!!!!

I love the spring pastel colors used

The white with gold studs looks super cute.

These are great for any cocktail event!!!

Till the next time...............

DESIGNER FOCUS: EMILIO PUCCI RED CARPET FAVES and some not so....

In case you hadn't noticed, Emilio Pucci gowns are on every major celebrity on the runway this season and I wanted to share with you some of the more memorable ones so far......

Kim Kardashian in Emilio Pucci spring 2012 ready to wear lace combo dress

Nicole Richie at 40th annual FiFi awards

Elizabeth Olsen

Jada Pinkett Smith and Teyana Taylor

Miley Cyrus

Kim Kardashian and Gwenyth Paltrow in the same oufit.

And for my least fave:

I think Janet Jackson looks fabulous for her age but this dress is not really helping especially that cleavage area. A dress like this would have looked way better on someone like Rihanna mainly because of that cleavage area (and the makeup and hair are not helping either)

It's a pretty elegant dress, only if you can pull off that plunging cleavage!!!!!

Till next time......

KIM KARDASHIAN IN DROP DEAD DIVA!!! PREVIEW

So I recently started watching "Drop Dead Diva" and I'm just getting through season one and found out that Kim Kardashian is going to be a guest star in Season 4 (yes I have a long way to go). So I came across the preview of the episode which will air June 3rd on Lifetime.

Will you be watching????

KIM KARDASHIAN IN EMILIO PUCCI

Ok so I don't know if it's just me who noticed but a bunch of celebs have been donning Emilio Pucci dresses and outfits this spring and summer period and I am loving it (but more on that later.....)

Kim Kardashian was one of the many celebs that flocked down to Atlantic city this memorial day weekend to catch a glimpse of Beyonce's show. On one of the nights, Kim is seen wearing this black, Emilio Pucci dress with Celine heels (another brand that is currently everywhere)

OOOOOhhhh I actually like this outfit, although it would be too hot to wear in this Texas weather, I feel like the long sleeves balance out the short dress and the criss-cross mesh back is perfect for the fully covered front of the dress.

I also like the classic makeup with nude lips and dramatic lashes.

Though I like the whole outfit together, I am not the biggest fan of black on black for the season, so I pop of color would have livened her up a little, probably using a bracelet.

BEAUTY: Current spring/ Summer faves

I am a known beauty junkie but in Texas it gets really hard to use a bunch of products without feeling like melting because the heat here is no joke!! I have barely been wearing makeup, like not even eyebrow touch ups. But whenever I am in need of something to use especially when I'm going somewhere, these are the products I gravitate to:

I mainly focused on keeping a clean face with a pop of color on the lips.

My most reached for lippies: (left to right) MAC Ruby Woo lipstick, Revlon lip butters in Sweet Tart and Lollipop.

Top to bottom: Victoria's Secret Luminous body lotion in Pure Seduction, Maybelline eye studio gel liner with brush, MAC mineralized skin finish natural in dark, Covergirl Queen bronzer in Ebony bronze, Sigma F30 powder brush.

This is what the victoria's secret lotion looks like, I love that it leaves your skin with a natural glow without chunks of glitter.

For my face I usually use the MAC MSF natural powder with the Sigma F30 and I love this powder because it's very light and sheer plus using the Sigma F30 prevents you from caking it on your face leaving it natural looking.

Though I love wearing lipstick, I have been more into using simpler products like the Revlon lip butters which I just tried and I love these because they have a visible color.

The Covergirl Queen bronzer is probably one of the best makeup finds. It comes it three different shades for light medium and dark skin tones and it gives a very pretty natural bronze to cheeks, whether for contouring or just adding some sun kissed color to cheeks.

Hope you loved these picks!!!

GENEVA WATCHES: AFFORDABLE AND FASHIONABLE

I had been on a hunt for great affordable watches which were both fashionable and not cheap feeling because I am not ready to drop hundreds of dollars for a Michael Kors watch yet. So I came across Geneva watches which I really did not know much about. When I looked more into them, I found alot of great styles which looked alot like the designer brand watches, but for a while I just was not ready to make the plunge and buy one for fear of them being poor quality.

So I eventually caved and ordered one of the cheaper ones from the brand with silicon straps and without a clasp. Let me say for the cheap price ($9.95) Only negative thing is the 3 smaller clocks do not work but I am very pleased with my purchase and will definitely be picking up more.

Women's White Rose Gold Chronograph Silicone with Crystal Rhinestones Bezel $9.95

These are the ones on my wishlist:

Women's Black Rose Gold Chronograph Silicone with Crystal Rhinestones Bezel $9.95

Geneva Platinum 9151 Women's Rhinestone Decorative Chronograph Link Watch-TORTOISE/GLD $19.99

Geneva Platinum 9144 Women's Chronograph-style Tortoise Link Watch $24.99

Geneva Platinum 9158 Women's Decorative Chronograph-style Matte Finish Link Watch TUR/GLD $28.99

Bling Jewelry Geneva Rose Gold Plated Classic Round CZ Ladies Watch $16

Geneva Lavender w/ Black Silicone Watch $9.95

Make sure you check these watches out especially if you are looking for different styles for different seasons!!!

LOVE THE LOOK: TEYANA TAYLOR

I came across the pictures of the Cruel Summer premiere by Kanye West and I totally fell in love with Teyana Taylor's outfit choice!!!!

Teyana, who is now officially signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D music label showed up in a white, floor length Emilio Pucci dress (many celebs seem to be loving Emilio Pucci this season) paired with some platform Versace pumps.

I am really loving this look on her!!!!

SHOE HAUL: PINKS!!!

Ok so I love shoes and all I do is look at shoes online (well now I just look at jewelry) but anyways I just wanted to share with you the most ones I picked up in the past week and some how they all ended up being PINK!!!! oh well!!!

I picked up the pair on the left and right from a store by my house which basically sells most of the shoes on websites like gojane (lol no shipping costs for me) and the middle pair is my first order from shoedazzle (a review on my experience with them is coming up).

This is a pair from Qupid "Tatum" colorblock heels which I recently blogged about as dupes for Giuseppe's (click here) These are one of the pairs of shoes I wore graduation night and they were not painful to walk in, but then again I wore them for a very short time.

I bought mine for about $25, find it here

Ok now I have been eyeing these babies online for a while now but in the blush color. They the hot pink "Sarah" pumps by a newly popular brand "Breckelle's". I saw them on windsore store in a number of colors but with very few sizes and I had been stalking the nude pair for a while now but when I saw these at the store by my house, I had to get them and they were only $19.99 STEAL!!!! They are super comfy and are ideal if you want to start walking around in heels for a long amount of time.

Find these shoes here

And last but definitely not least are these fabulous pumps I picked up from shoedazzle and all I can say is wow!!! They are so pretty and great quality but yet affordable (review soon) and the gold slated sole design seems to be popping up everywhere. The color is more of a bubble gum pink rather than the neon it looks like in the pictures.

Since this was my first shoedazzle purchase, I paid just under $32 which is a steal for these babies.

Find them here
