The Sweet Life

the fall tv lineup is pretty sweet...

2011-08-23T20:00:00.000-04:00

Zooey Deschanel can do no wrong in this new comedy, New Girl, where she plays a teacher who moves in with 3 guys after walking in on her boyfriend with another girl.

Chelsea Handler's tv show, Are You There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea looks hilarious. She makes a cameo as her born again
pregnant sister.

Suburgatory is like Mean Girls with a girl from the city and a super suburban twist.

NY is A-pause-MAZING

2011-06-16T11:41:00.001-04:00

I am currently in class right now at NYU, learning about cover lines and targeting the right demographic for your reader. Cosmo writes about vibrators while Glamour rights about sweet sex. Yeah, okay. I get it... In the past week and a half, I have met so many amazing professionals, such as, Cindy Lieve (editor of Glamour), David Carr (President of Hearst), editors from Real Simple, Consumers Report, Bon Appetite, Time Out New York, Elle and HR people from Time, Randomhouse, Hearst, Sterling and so many more. I even got to tour Gawker (ahhhh!) and meet the editor of Jezebel, Jessica Coen, as well as the PR Manager, Kevin Prince. It was insanely cool.

Love living in NY, minus sharing half a closet! There is so much to see and do.

my building is so amazing.

Empire State of Mind

2011-06-07T23:02:00.000-04:00

Hi all!

I'm in NY now for the summer (at least!) I got here on Sunday to start a publishing grad program. It is super intense and very competitive. I love living in NY so far. The subway is not as bad as I expected. In fact, I sorta like the idea of public transportation now. It seems relatively fast and convenient. I thought walking would be a pain in the ass but you can go pretty far, pretty fast. There is so much to do here and so many things to see. I have met a lot of people and am still taking it all in. I think it will be a great summer!

Can't wait!

Kimmy K! Do you see that?

2011-06-04T03:21:00.001-04:00

I love everything about this picture...

sure, the 20.5k ring is sparkling and magnificent but you know what else is pretty great?

her denim jacket.

I LOVE DENIM JACKETS!

Almost every year around this time, a new line of denim jackets sweep our favorite stores. New ways to wear your denim jacket occur...throw a scarf on it... roll up the sleeves. voila.

trendy. denim. deliciousness!

Ulta Summer Beauty Favs

2011-05-09T20:56:00.010-04:00

It is no secret that I love Ulta. Today I went to get a new Neutrogena mineral powder palette and came back with lots of great necessities. For one, new O.P.I. Silver shatter. Obviously, the black shatter polish was pretty effin genius but the fact that is comes in silver is so great for summer. I got the new Loreal OneSweep eye shadow palettes for brown eyes. I love these because you can apply 3 colors at one time with one tear shaped brush. I also picked up a Loreal voluminous mascara. I wanted to switch it up from the Maybelline Falsies mascara and I'm pretty pleased with this one. I also got new hair ties by Vidal Sasson because I hate when hair ties snap and I got lip plumping lip gloss by Sally Hansen. Sally Hansen has really stepped it up with their summer line. I love their new tweezer line as well.

french mani with silver shatter by opi and it's genius

Speaking of makeup, I created this collage for these new Lancome eye shadows and outfits and accessories that would go with them.

Royal Wedding Excitement

2011-04-28T23:32:00.002-04:00

The Royal Wedding is upon us! 4am and the extravagant event will begin! I absolutely can't wait. I made a collage in honor of William and Kate.

MAZELS to them!

i love kate spade

2011-04-27T01:04:00.000-04:00

I'm having a bit of a love affair with my new kate spade darla wallet in mercury.

It is the most perfect wallet. I am a wristlet kind of gal but am sick of that style and I never use just a wristlet. I always just throw it in the bag. I just like having my keys and my wallet attached so when I found this wallet on the bloomingdale's website, i had to grab it. There are many pockets in addition to it having a keyring attached. It also has a see thru id holder on the back.

kate spade is making a comeback.

Easter Treats

Which is your favorite?

I Heart Redbox

2011-04-24T01:40:00.000-04:00

Redbox is an amazing thing. They are popping up all over the place. Meijers, Walmarts, Krogers and even McDonalds!

I stopped at one tonight for the first time and couldn't believe how easy and convenient they are.

Love them!

Real Housewives & Jill Zarin

2011-04-21T02:56:00.001-04:00

I am addicted to those Real Housewives shows. I know they are all looking for fame and each one wants more money than the last. There a lot of drama, which may be catty but it is some entertaining stuff. Jill Zarin is one of my favorites. She hosts Ustream chats online to connect with her fan base and one day, I happened to be in the right place at the right time. I asked her for an autograph and she actually sent me one in the mail. She sent me a postcard of her book (below) and it was signed by her, her mother and her sister. Jill Zarin is the best!!!

Work Hard and Be Nice to People...

Seriously, just do this...

Well, Hello LC!

2011-04-19T21:22:00.001-04:00

LC is coming back in a big way today. She has a new clothing line on the way called Paper Crown and she has launched a new beauty website called The Beauty Department. I think this website will be a cute idea so long as she is really doing the stuff herself and not having someone else do her hair. Do-it-yourself makeup tutorials are very popular on youtube and I think LC has what it takes to do her own, being the style icon that she is.

Some of my favs are:

It's a lot more sophisticated than her past Kohl's line.

What do you guys think?

Happy Monday!

2011-04-11T23:43:00.000-04:00

I'm moving from mi to ny this summer and excited doesn't even cover it.

NY makes me think of one of my favorite movies, confessions of a shopaholic!

carrie is ny's finest

speaking of people who were in ny, the kardashians have a new show, khloe & lamar.

the show was pretty good but one thing i loved was rob and his adorable glasses. so chic.

heart-rob!!

2011-04-05T01:45:00.000-04:00

Better late than never...

the gem with the violet eyes has passed...

but not before making all of the people at her funeral wait 15 minutes for her. fashionably late in life and in death. true diva.

Secret Life of 7th Heaven

2011-03-28T22:56:00.000-04:00

Did anyone else watch the spring premiere of Secret Life of the American Teenager?

I did, because I'm cool like that, and was happy to discover that along with Ruthie Camden, who they added last season as the new slut, Lucy was making a comeback as the new guidance counselor! She replaced Blossom!

Two 7th Heaven girls on Secret Life!! There needs to be a 7th Heaven Reunion.

It would be amazing!

Well, hello friends!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN BIEBER!

Now that i have wished Bieber a Happy Birthday, I would like to share a photo of the shatter polish i talked about in my last post. i'm a huge fan of the shatter polish as i feel it chips less and looks amazing.

this is the teenage dream color with the shatter on top

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

My best dressed pick from the Oscars was Halle Berry.

This Marchesa corset gown was beautiful. It sparkled and looked exquisite.

thanks for stopping by. i will try to post more often!

p.s. Join groupon! it is so great. i got 3 redbox rentals for $1.

O.P.I. Shatter Polish

2011-02-04T00:39:00.001-05:00

I absolutely need the O.P.I. shatter nail polish. The other colors do not look like my style but with the shatter over I think they look cool and bold. I also think the pink color looks way better on than you can tell from the bottle.

My Ulta was all sold out but I am hoping to get this polish asap!!

Has anyone tried it yet?

Hello Snow...

2011-02-02T12:14:00.001-05:00

The huge storm was all over.

Schools had been closed for the day.

Work, not so much.

Though I am basically one of the few brave enough to drive here today as the parking lot is quite empty and the building is very quiet. There really isn't THAT much snow here. Dissappointing.

In preparation of the snow day, I watched the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion (part 2).

There is no snow in Beverly Hills, just rains drama. It was good times as Lisa rehashed 86ing Cedric, Camille fought with Kyle and Kyle fought with Kim (or rather didn't say too much to her.)

It was a great episode. What did you think?

Etsy Love -- OhLouisedesigns

2011-02-01T19:17:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone!

I have found a great shop on Etsy called OhLouisedesigns . She makes personalized stationary that is to-die-for! I had to order some as soon as I found her. It was Etsy love. She also makes prints and cards.

Here are some of my favorites:

Loves it!

January Resolutions

2011-01-20T02:01:00.003-05:00

So January is flying by and this is the time to make or break resolutions for the new year.

I think we all want to be fu*kin good people just like my girl snooki above!

handle your liquor!

dream big!

show emotion!

SMILE! (and play more scrabble!)

Tonight I was able to see a sneak preview of "No Strings Attached," starring Natalie Portman (pre-preg) and Ashton Kutcher. It was seriously so funny. I highly recommend it. It was funny, touching, sad, happy and just straight up, clever. Ashton plays a Michigan college student so that made it even better because I am from Michigan.

See it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2011-01-14T02:48:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year all!

Sorry for the delay in posts. I was in Florida on vacation for Christmas, New Years Eve and MSU bowl game. Sad game but regardless, it was a blast just to be there.

I also went back to the wizarding world of harry potter...

it was busy as hell. people waited in line ALL day just to get a time slot to be let in. luckily the park was open late for the holidays and after 10 the little kids go home and there are way less lines!

Butterbeer is pretty much amazing. why don't they actually make it an alcoholic drink. I feel it would be delish.

NYE was pretty amazing. bottle service in VIP was pretty much unbeatable. NYE should be at least twice a year. just sayin'. i could definitely get used to top shelf liquor being brought to my table by personal wait staff who make drinks.

yup, i want a triple vodka red bull on ice, bitch.
