Women of Color

I’ve been pulling some sick hours this week and have been a bit stressed out, but this picture made me smile.

I’m gearing up for the long weekend.  I hope you’re looking forward to it as much as I am.  Enjoy!  :)

Tall Painting

These visuals were created by artists pouring different colors over a raised block.  Kinda trippy right?

I want a dress that looks like that last picture.  Stunning.

Watch the video to see how it was created.

Lipstick and Mascara and Blush….Oh my!

Pink Make-up

This is one of my favorite quotes.  I’m making an effort to step my make-up game up this spring and definitely need to make a trip to Sephora soon.  Between that and it being Valentine’s week (yes I said week) I can’t stop thinking about pink and red.

1. Essie light pink polish, 2. Elizabeth Arden Go Red for Women lipstick, 3.  Stila Make Me Blush palette, 4. Cover Girl Professional Super Thick Lash mascara, 5. Maybelline New York One by One Volum’ Express mascara, 6. Eyeshadow, 7. Lancome Juicy Tubes set, 8. Essie red nail polish

Brittany DeShields

Pretty pastels and pink from fashion designer Brittany DeShields.  I’ve been on the market for a “freakum” dress (ladies you know what I’m talking about) and any of these will do just nicely.

I came across Brittany’s portfolio on The Fashion Bomb where she was featured in a Real Style post.  See more from Brittany’s collection here.

Rihanna Reb’l Fleur

Have you seen the ad for Rihanna’s Reb’l Fleur fragrance?  It’s stunning.  The pink hues remind me of the “Only Girl (In the World)” video (check out my Friday Video on that here).  As a person who works in advertising as well as a Rihanna fan, I’m blown away this campaign.  It’s a cinematic masterpiece that builds an emotional connection with the product as well as the artist.

Take a minute to watch.
