♥ Chanel Nail Polish Collection



Oh la la! I love these nail color shades from Chanel Les Khakis de Chanel Nail Polish Collection. In celebration of Fashion’s Night Out, which is coming next month, the Global Director of Chanel, Peter Philips has a created a collection of three Les Vernis Nail Colours. Very hot and sophisticated shades for fall.

The three shades are:

Khaki Vert
Khaki Brun
Khaki Rose

The colors give off a vintage-military feel which sorta reminds me of J.Crew’s Fall 2010 collection. The nail colours retails for $25 each and will be available September 10th!

Curls, Curls, Curls ♥



Short Curly Hairstyles are a hot trend right now especially in hollywood. It’s a fun, sexy look that is very easy to do. Want hair like the celebs? Get inspired by these celebrity hairstyles and find out how to achieve the look with these step-by-step instructions.


Soft, Loose Curls is a very romantic look and it’s a great style to wear for a date. Here’s a very basic way to get soft curls-

1. Grab a thick curling iron and spray thermal heat protectant from root to end.
2. Take a chunk of your hair and starting at the tip, wrap your hair around the iron.
3. Leave it there for a couple of seconds then release.
4. Repeat until entire head is full of curls. If curls look to perfect, use a texturizing spray and use your fingers to separate curls.
5. Grab your favorite hairspray to keep your curls intact and your done!

♥ Peace, Love, and Juicy



With its ten year anniversary vastly approaching, Juicy Couture’s is launching its newest creation- a summer scent to wear in the colder months of fall thanks to its floral notes and California roots. Peace, Love & Juicy Couture scent has a floral mix of honeysuckle, black currant, Malibu poppy, linden blossom, lemon tree Blossom, jasmine, star Magnolia, sweet apple accord, and wild hyacinth, with a dry down of musk and sheer patchouli. The scent sounds amazing! As for the design, the glass bottle is beautifully adorned with a heart-shaped peace sign and bright pink tussels wrapped in turquoise beads. You can wear it as a bracelet too. That’s always a bonus!


Peace, Love & Juicy Couture will officially launch in September but for now, you can stop by your nearest Nordstrom’s and pick up an Eau de Parfum rollerball priced at $18. It will launch as a limited-edition product.

my WORLD CUP fever is over ♥


In the aftermath of the game against Spain a lot has been said and written on Queiroz and his choices. His choices when selecting the team for South Africa but most of all his choices before and during the eight-final game against Spain. Some believe he should be replaced. The name Scolari often pops up in comments. Either to compare or ask for his return. Names for the job are already heating discussion.

I understand the frustration with Carlos Queiroz. I think he could have done better. Today everybody is a coach. Everybody is saying they wouldn’t have replaced Almeida. Everybody is saying they wouldn’t have played Costa as right-back. Nobody has any praise for him now. He could have taken the team to the final playing the way they played and lose and still be the sole one to blame for us not leaving South Africa crowned world-champions. Nothing satisfies the crowd. Nothing.

What bugs me now the most is he seems unwilling to accept any responsibility for the game’s outcome. He refuses to admit perhaps he did fuck-up his initial 23-men draw. He took 2 right-backs to South Africa and ended up improvising a 3rd? At least he’d have to admit his choices were screwed up to start with.

Now that it's over I had so much fun watching the games with my best friends and partying it up like we do luso-americano style :) here are some pics re-living 2010 World Cup from NEWARK, NJ <3

♥ haters and backstabbing bitches


You know, i wish i could sit here and say i know it all. The truth is, i dont. We all want to know as much as possible so we arent disappointed or caught off guard by the unknown. The fast is, every single person is different. We can never really know what people really think or feel. Or what their true intentions are, whatever they may be.

So the choice we are faced with is remain blind, ignorant and with a child-like view of the world, so innocent, just take the leap of faith, and hope we dont splat on the ground below. Then theres the other option, which is to be so guarded, so in control, that inevitably we lose ourselves in the process.

Being careful and guarded arent always bad things. Yes, there will always be the liars, the cheaters, the abusers, and those complete jackassery ass monkies who like to tear other people down when they dont get their way, or because they are insecure about themselves. The trick isnt to figure them out. Its not to expose them for what they are, or to brand them as the incompitant losers they really are.

The trick is to take the damage they inflict and wash it away. If you turn it inwards, it will eat away at you like a cancer, never ending, unyielding, and it will inevitably destroy you from the inside out. And in the end, you will turn into them. Dont give them that power over you. They only have power if you allow them to have it.

Just let it all go. There will always be the haters, the assholes, the backstabbing bitches. There will always be the ones who come crawling back with their appologies and guilt ridden faces begging for another chance. There will always be the people who try to pull you down with them, because their life sucks, and they dont wanna be lame by their selves, mysery really does love company.

But i say, wash it all away. Mysery does not get my company today.
