DIY Nail Art. Patterns, Prints and Textures.

Nail art is endless.

The colour combos, the playfulness, and the anything goes mentality is truly a testament of self expression. As is the DIY pride that comes alongside letting your imagination run wild.

This creative outlet is so fab, it has truly taken on a life of its own. I mean, even the once riske accent nail pales in comparison to the so-hot-right-now cohesive collection of nails that make up the hand. Textures, bold prints and organized chaos shines.


Brilliant. Talk about dressing up the everyday.

And the best part is, for those who lack the steady hand and/or the know how, cheat sheets exist both from the pros and our peers. Just look at the growing number of posts on step-by-step how to's; the resurgent of stick-on-nails, patterned nail stickers, duo sticks and fine brushes...So embrace your inner artiste and paint on fellow popsessers, diy style.

Warrior Chic, 2.0.

My alter ego, warrior chic, came out to play again... 

I love this look. Like stalker obsessed. It's the ultimate melange of fierce meets effortless beauty. What a combo. I love looks that mix and match, that are unique, and that have fun with the conventional rules of fashion. And this, is at its best... Bravo.


Leaves me wanting more, like any good outfit should...

...I'ma I'ma I'ma I'ma Ahhhh....

For months now, I kept hearing this catchy song - in commercials, on tv shows - and only recently did I put it all together... Brandon Jenner and his sexy sounding wife Leah are behind it.

...I'ma I'ma I'ma I'ma Ahhhh.... Showstopper. Showstopper....

Liked yes, but obsessed I was not. That is until this week. I stumbled across a live performance from the Sunset Strip Music Festival and wow. Can't stop listening. Slash can't stop staring either. Love her freebird vibe. Love his jam session. Showstoppers some would say.

Her voice is so unique and soulful, a shock considering she looks and speaks like a total California babe. That, mixed with his beating, tribal drum sound is such an awesome combo, one that is maybe not as easy to pick up on in the radio version.


Hope you likey. What an adoring and fab duo, seems both on and off stage. I say, definitely a pair to watch for, who knows, maybe even obsess...

Above the Knuckle Rings. Yes Please.

I love rings. My favorite type of jewelry by far. I love all kinds from dainty bands to chunky cocktails... although I do have a soft spot for blinged out golds, brasses and metallics above all else.

Lately I am simply ob-ses-sed with above the knuckle rings. Can not get enough. I love how they dress up your hands, discretely or showstopper style. What a look.

Update...Kim K has last laugh

Say what you will about Kim's pregnancy, this week things have been made crystal clear... The queen of reality tv is going to continue wearing whatever it is she feels like wearing. That, and to all the haters, back off and stop bullying! Simple as that.

After months of being dragged through the tabloid mud, Kanye's baby mama finally addressed the backlash head on. On Tuesday's GMA visit, she tastefully flipped all her haters the bird by standing behind her maternity fashion choices, for owning who she is regardless of what people will say..."My theory is happy mommy, happy baby, so whatever makes me feel good, I wanna wear." And for that I say kudos. (Scroll to the last minute or so of the clip below.)


And so, I cant help but wonder, is Kim having the last laugh? I mean, throughout it all, Kim is doing what she is so famous for... for being herself...no ifs, ands, or dare I say, butts about it.

All those wishing and hoping for anything other than custom leather ensembles and chic heels, seems the battle's been won. So, bow out gracefully and let this mother-to-be, be. I certainly have...

Cuckoo for Corals, Bright Oranges Lips

Popfession ... Only recently have I embarked on the lipstick bandwagon - shocking I know, considering wearing lipstick is a lady's right of passage, much like sexy stilettos or a tight lbd... And now that I have, I can't stop! No turning back. Obsessed.

I love it all. The way it makes me feel, how it looks, how it makes my inner beauty shine! I feel so much more confident, fabulous and put together when my lips are all dressed up!

Of course we love the classic chic reds -from dark ruby to fire engine. But today's obsessed is with the bold, bright and beautiful. The many shades of corals, oranges, apricots, and the like.


Now that spring has sprung, its the perfect time to play outside, run wild and keep it fresh! Plus think of how gorgeous these colors will look against your sun-kissed skin in the summer months...perhaps something to look forward to?!
