A Daily Dose Of Glamour

A daily dose of glamorous inspiration…

All about Louboutin

One day, one day… Someday, after we have cured world famine, and provided every man, woman and child with a proper roof over their heads and enough resources to get through life as comfortably as possible… I may finally be Ok with spending over $800 on a pair of shoes. In the meantime, I have images of Louboutin to feed my Designer shoe cravings, the affordable way. Feast your eyes on these…

Animailer

Sometimes (more frequently than Id like to admit), I come across a beauty item I must have, and being the consumer that I am, its not hard for me to give in to temptation. Sadly though, given my weird OCD ways, I like to keep all of my belongings looking as new for as long as possible (recently a very close friend asked me why on earth I keep a half used tube of Laura Mercier lipstick in its original package, strange looks ensued when I explained my tendencies). So this means that most of my gorgeous purchases go unused for shamefully too long. I know that this gorgeous bronzer risks the same fate, however – I am placing it on my must have list anyway and will make room in my vanity drawer next to my Dior eye shadow pallette and YSL Lipstick trio (still in their original cases :)

Dolce & Gabbana Animalier Bronzer

Perfumery

What’s more glamorous than creating your own perfume? I had a very fun evening this week at the Aroma Workshop (Chicago’s only Perfumery) where myself and a new found friend spent two hours learning the history of perfumery & the art of combining scents, with the added bonus of leaving with our very own bottle of personalized perfume.  It was really fun coming up with different possible scents but very hard to choose just 1 !  I could find this experience very addicting if not careful!

Another iPad App to download & love; the Dior Diary. A helpful calendar app that makes every day (and every appointment) a little more glamorous…

Urban Retreat


Was so excited to see pictures of Kerri Russell’s Brooklyn home in this months issue of Elle Decor. How lucky is she to have a man able to completely gut and renovate a run down brownstone and turn it into a dream home?? Drool worthy pictures below (pay close attention to her bathroom & closet, every girls dream!!).
