Zac Posen Iconic Bag

At first glance it may look like a simple pear (or tear if you are so inclined) shaped hot pink sponge with no special talents, but contraire my beauty loving friends. The Beauty Blender sponge is magic--or so it seems to me.
The lovely and talented Bridget at Odalisque-(see link below)http://monkeyposh.blogspot.com/2005/10/odalisque.html in Geneva, Illinois introduced me to the Beauty Blender sponge and I was hooked. Do not get me wrong, Bridget is a wizard when it comes to makeup application. She has covered my blemishes, freckles, and all around crazy skin imperfections before -- but this time was different. This time was special. This time Bridget was packing the Beauty Blender Sponge. They truly made the powder application flawless and seem light as air. I bought the sponges on the spot, and have used them every day since. They truly are amazing.
They are easy to use and so soft -not to mention the uber cool bright pink color. The coverage they provide is excellent. If you have not tried them yet, give them a try at THE BEUATY BLENDER WEBSITE , or at www.Amazon.com or www.drugstore.com .
You can also get the official Beauty Blender sponge cleanser at their website.
You will love them, trust me.
(graphics from the official Beauty Blender website--link above) This is the very cool LaRok Twist Swing Top in navy. I have had a torrid love affair with navy blue for the past year or so. I think it is highly underrated. I pledged to bring navy back, and I am working on it. Here is my plea to designers: Make more navy blue footwear. Please.
Here is my plea to myself: Lift more weights so you can actually wear this shirt this summer. Please. This is the Nadia Roder Wave Scarf. I love this. It looks a little Missoni and a little Pucci while still holding onto it's own flair. I am a bit of a scarf whore, so I will probably be adding this little beauty to my arsenal.
I love these strappy wedges from Michael Kors. They are just the right height and the pop of sueded red makes me happy. I am really liking Michael's stuff this Spring. I also like his new fragrance called Island Hawaii. It is soft and soothing and really beachy.
These are the prim yet minxy Chloe White 60 Circle pumps. They are so European 60's to me. Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour. I am almost positive I could not pull them off, but I love them, and if I ever saw anyone wearing them, I would gush and fall in love. These Missoni flats are very Italian cool. I picture them on a tall, tanned, toned fabulous women wearing a white skirt strolling in Milan. They also look comfortable. I love Missoni. I have talked a lot about Missoni in the past, so I will not bore you with my Missoni love today.
This is the same ring in bright yellow. I posted this one in honor of the funny and beautiful FABULISTA at Beauty Blogging Junkie (check out her blog). Fabulista has a yellow thing. Apparently a mad love of yellow since childhood. Here is to you A!
Here is hoping everyone has a lovely day.

Before I knew I was going to be going to see the Blossoms this year, I was thinking about them and I started obsessing about Guerlain Cherry Blossom Pure Parfum. I called Bergdorf Goodman to order it, only to be told that it was not going to be sold in the U.S. at all, period, end of story, and that the European boutiques would not be shipping any to the United States. Well, ahem--one should NEVER tell a fragrance fiend that they CANNOT get a fragrance. Thems is fighting words. Needless to say I found it.
Damn skippy.
I was also able to procure bottle of Guerlain Lovely Cherry Blossom edt. It is indeed lovely, but nothing like the Guerlain Cherry Blossom Pure Parfum. It is lighter and less heady. It pales in beauty to the Pure Parfum, but I do really like it. Thanks Shayla!
I will leave you with a lovely Haiku in honor of the cherry blossoms by Akiko Feng.
Pink like a bush
Sweet scent with petals
falling like Spring.
Have a beautiful day.
