Fuschia Fashion

Revlon Lipstick in "Fuschia"


Ok, so i am a drama queen. And I do like dramatic looks and fashion trends that sometimes people don't get. I REALLY
like the look of a rich lip color. I love pin up girl red lips, i
love deep coral lips for this spring, and I especially love the color fuschia. I think i'm leaning towards fuschia just because its a universally flattering color. Since I'm darker toned, I usually have a tougher time picking out lipstick colors. But i really want to take the plunge this spring from my normal glossy nude lips. I just bought Revlon's lipstick in "fuschia." I couldn't resist the chanel looking quilted pattern on this tube.

I know that pulling off rich lip colors like this is tough so here are a few tricks i found online. I also found some fab pictures of celebrities sporting pink pouts. Enjoy!

How to rock fuschia lips and look good!

1) Always start with a heavily exfoliated lip, make sure to add a lip moisturizer as a base after exfoliating.



2) Line your lips, for bright colors such as fuschia, precious is key so lining your lips is necessary, for even more precision, apply lipstick with a lipstick brush. Start from the center of your mouth and work your way to the outer corners.3) Since this color is so dramatic, keep the rest of your face neutral and fresh, do not use heavy eye makeup. Also, keep your outfit subdued. You really want your lips to be the main event.4) if you're like me and are used
to glossy lips, this matte look might be too much of a shock for you, so to ease the transition, you can apply a sheer gloss over this lipstick. Please note that this color on the runway is portrayed as matte and hardly ever glossy, but for us com
mon people who don't walk the runway on a daily basis, a gloss would be fine. A makeup artist i spoke to suggested looking at lustre lipsticks which have a lot of shine to ease the change from gloss to lipsticks.

You Light Up My Life

Gabriel Viggo 7 months - December 29, 2010

The joy I feel everytime I see Gabe's smile is indescribable. He's grown so much from being this helpless little being to a little baby boy crawling all over the place flaunting his smile to the world. He's such a cutie pie. Whenever there's a camera in front of him and you say cheese, he'll flash his big toothless grin. This is him all decked out for my dad's birthday and my mom's retirement celebration. It was just an intimate dinner with our immediate family. Gabe was absolutely adorable in his little button down shirt, vest and tie. He had matching pants but they were a bit big so he rocked his jeans instead. Its ok - its the modern look right?

(Gabe's 3 piece suit is by Nautica. His jeans are from Old Navy.)

End of Summer BBQ

We went to an end of summer BBQ at Wil's boss's house this past weekend.
It was so great meeting his coworkers and putting faces to the names and stories he's shared with me. It was one of Gabe's first times going to a party and
i have to say he did an amazing job! He was so quiet and so chill
- everyone kept commenting on that. I'm so glad.
Two months ago, i would've sworn to you that he'd never stop
crying because he seemed so colicky. But now, he's calmed down so much.
He's such a good little boy. I keep telling Wil how i wish
he would stay at this age forever. I just love how cuddly he is,
yet he's old enough to interact, smile, and laugh with us.
Pretty soon, he's going to start crawling and wanting to experience the world
- he won't want hugs as much :( i'm cherishing all of my moments with him.


Gabe: 16 weeks -carters overalls.
me: jcrew ruffle button up shirt, h&M boyfriend vintage shorts, zara belt, steve madden ballet flats, michael kors menswear gold watch, jcrew crystal bracelet

PS - i got a new haircut!! i'm soo happy. Shout out to D from City Salon by Michelle Coulter here in Atlanta! (Thanks Jen for the recommendation!)
