XOXO

Some ladies just never learn the ins and outs of make-up. My mother never has been one to put on a full face of it, and i definitely take after her in that department. I have my powder and my blush, and with the exception of a light sweep of eyeliner and quick swipe of mascara, that's the extent. But there's something else that I absolutely love: a nice coat of the perfect red lipstick. Like the perfect red nail polish, it's been tough finding just the ride shade/shine for me, but by jove i think i have.

My Favorites:

• Chanel Rogue Allure Passion (for a little shine)
• Chanel Rogue Allure Velvet #38 (for a matte finish and a velvet feel)

I cannot get enough of either of these colors and would recommend them to any lovely lady wanting to try out a new red.

You could be my Silver Spring

I am so crazy busy these days with school and friends. But I always make time for a little Rachel Zoe on Tuesday nights. This past Tuesday, aside from lusting after, ya know, everything Rachel was trying on (along with the Missoni cape Brad put on), I fell in love with Kate Hudson. Her voice is kind of major.

Last week, Thursday I believe, I got to venture out to the Botanical Gardens with some of my good friends. It was nice to get away from our normal activities and explore the beautiful paths of flowers that are currently hosting 100's of little pink lawn flamingos that have been decorated in tons of creative ways.

Cotton Candy Princess

My youngest niece, Ashley, is having her quinceanera (15th birthday) next month, and asked if BZR would take some photos for her. Being the silly girls we are, we decided to brave the intermittent torrential downpour that was occurring downtown. We have one really nice cathedral in town, and decided it would be a good spot (in lieu of the park that was Ashley's first choice). Needless to say the rain was not on our side. More pictures later.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

So in the past week, I've visited my favorite little second-hand store twice, and it seems that I can't leave without buying something. The D&B side strap purse was a gift from my best friend, and the shoes are mine courtesy of Heather, who passed them over because they were a touch too big for her size 7 feet. I have really amazing friends and really good luck at that particular shop. I've had such a good few weeks. I wish things could always be so wonderful.
