Here's an adorable treasury featuring two irresistible things - cute monsters and tasty cookies! (It also features the Jeepers Peepers Eyeball Hair clip ) mmm... I want some macarons Pale is Beautiful 04/08/2011
Do you agree? Spectral Cosmetics certainly does - the soon-to-be-launched makeup line is dedicated to those typically elusive alabaster shades. With the tag line "Pale is beautiful, and it's time to embrace it" they certainly caught my attention. The blurb from their unfinished website piques my interest even further... "Tired of searching for obscure cosmetic products that match your fair skin tone? Spectral Cosmetics is developing a line of products that showcase and enhance your complexion to its full potential." One of my fantasies has always been of creating makeup for the ethereally pale. Besides the lack of lighter foundation and concealer shades, one shopping for makeup can't escape the onslaught of powder, cream, gel, and liquid bronzers and self tanning products put out by every brand under the sun. Don't get me wrong, I love a good bronzer now and then, but paleness is often treated like acne or wrinkles - everyone assumes it's something you want to hide... and most cosmetic brands create products accordingly. I'm excited to see a new company with a desire to go in a different direction (...and I'm always excited for a reason to buy more makeup!) It's important that we remember every skin tone is beautiful and we should each embrace and celebrate what we have! I'm really looking forward to the launch of this line!

Around Christmastime I professed my love for the Alexander McQueen Skull Rings and now I have another drool-worthy accessory to lust after - box clutches! Here, again, is that absolutely adorable skull! You can never argue with classic black, but if you're feeling a bit more ostentatious there is this lovely studded Anglophile number... Now I address specifically my would-be ridiculously wealthy and anonymous benefactor (I just know you're out there, somewhere!) If you'd like to get me an early birthday gift - in addition to that Rickenbacker you've been dying to get me - the purse below would do quite nicely. Just sayin' *drool* I'm gonna go microwave a Lean Cuisine You Matter 03/23/2011
"If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person." - Fred Rogers You (yes, you!) The Stage Frights: Photographic evidence 03/21/2011
