My Current Obsession-YSL Arty Ring

If you know me, then you know I like statement rings.  I've been eyeing the YSL Arty ring for sometime now and I am considering getting one soon.  I just love how big and bold it is.  Such a statement piece.  I just don't know which one to get.  I love how the gold compliments my skin and how the large stone is so dynamic.  

On the other hand, I also like the softer look of the Arty dots ring.  Decisions, decisions...
What do you think?  Which ring do you like best?

I'm A Sucker For Accessories

Have you ever looked at an outfit, whether it be on you or someone else and think, "that needs a necklace"? For me, an accessory is the finishing touch on an outfit. I have been building my accessories wardrobe lately. I am into statement rings and long necklaces currently, and I love vintage looking jewelry. One of my favorite places to go for affordable accessories is Forever 21. They're incredibly inexpensive and always on trend. I picked up six pieces during my last visit. Here is what I got:

As you can see, I sort of have a thing for leaves right now. Side note: I am loving my mint green polish which is so unlike me. It is China Glaze's Re-Fresh Mint. Love, Love, Love it!

June Favorites

Here are the things that I am loving for the month of June:

1. MAC 116 blush brush-This brush is the BEST for applying blush. It is like blush application for dummies! It allows you to apply color precisely to the area that you want without making a mess of your cheeks. Definitely a must have!

2. MAC 224 blending brush-I love this so much that I have two of them! It is so multi-purpose. It is particularly great for under eye concealer application! Also a must have!

3. L'Oreal Professional Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base-I use this under my eye to smooth out the fine lines. It is great and keeps my concealer in place all day.

4. MAC Thrills Lipstick-This is a limited edition color so I am bummed that I didn't pick up a back up :( This is my favorite lip color for the month of June, perfect for summer.

5. China Glaze For Audrey-I already did a post on this. Love the color, currently my pedicure color for June.

6. Almay Oil Free Makeup Remover Towelettes-These are phenomenal! I am on my second pack. They're packed with aloe, cucumber, and green tea, so they are very soothing to the skin. I love these!

7. MAC Tan Pigment-A muted pinky brown bronze color, this pigment is perfect for work and play.

8. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural-This powder is all I wear as "foundation" since it is so hot and humid. It provides enough coverage to even out my skin tone and has definitely been a staple in my makeup routine.

9. Multi-Strand Lucite Necklace-I picked this up at Macy's for a steal and it has become the perfect accessory!

2 Finger Rings-Blast From The Past Revisited

I never thought I would see the day that 2 finger rings would make a serious comeback, besides on the hands of Flava Flav. But alas, they did. I must admit that I fell prey to 2 finger rings revisited and picked up a few. I was pleasantly surprised to find a selection of fashionable ones, not at all like the chunky gold ones worn by the hip hop artists of the 80's.

I picked up this one from Forever 21 for $2.80. Here's a picture of me channeling my inner gangsta rapper fashionista.

Anyhow, I love my ring, no matter how big and gaudy it may be!

Summer Trend-Lucite Accessories

Lucite jewelry was spotted all over the Spring/Summer 2010 runway shows. From Fendi to Michael Kors, Lucite was everywhere! While browsing Macy's accessories department, I spotted several Lucite jewelry displays. They're such versatile pieces that can me worn with any color because they're...CLEAR. I ended up picking up a Lucite necklace and earrings for $12 total as Macy's was having a phenomenal sale. What I like about the Lucite jewelry is that it adds visual dimension to an outfit, as the pieces tend to be on the chunkier side. I am going limit myself to wearing only one piece of Lucite at a time, as too many pieces can start to look cheap. However, you won't catch me rocking clear Lucite heels...that's just a no no!
