tokidoki at Sephora

As corny as it may seem and so out of character for me as it is, I think that the tokidoki stuff is so extra cute! Now I don't know if I'd go out and buy all their stuff, but I do enjoy looking at it, and I'm sure that the next time I'm in Sephora I will check out the pigment in the eyeshadow (I'm a slave to dark deep color). Aside from all of that, I thought this cute new makeup line was blog worthy. Some of you may have kids into this and it could make a great gift!

Here is some of what Sephora has to say about the line. "Inspired by classic tokidoki characters, each limited-edition Cromatico Eyeshadow Palette holds four coordinated, high-pigment shades plus a collectible charm that hooks onto tokidoki key chains and makeup bags. The vibrant shadows are formulated with natural rice lipids and vitamin B, so they blend beautifully while also hydrating the delicate eye area. Explore both your criminally cute and irresistibly edgy sides with expert eye color that shows your love for tokidoki."

I'm lame and corny and nerdy, we know...so I'm putting this stuff in too, cuz I thought it was super extra cuteMeet Adios and Ciao Ciao Adios spent 500 years in fire and brimstone before the Devil discovered his good-natured ways and kicked him out of Hell. Too mischievous for Heaven, Adios was condemned to live forever on earth in a modern grave-loft with his girlfriend Ciao Ciao and their cat Skeletrino. Together, they wander the world, sharing with others how to make the most out of this life.

Meet Mozzarella, Bulleto, Choco, Soya and Strawberry Latte Mozzarella leads the Moofia, a gang assembled to extort milk from the lunchboxes of schoolyard bullies. Mozzarella and the Moofia are loving and kind to good kids, but ruthless and feared by those who harass the innocent. By taking milk from the bad and giving it to the good, they know the good will grow up strong and healthy to protect themselves. To the Moofia, milk is power and protection.

Meet SANDy, Bastardino, and the Cactus Pups To SANDy and her friends, the cactus is a sign of protection, while kids are naïve, vulnerable, and in need of protection. The Cactus Friends zip themselves into cactus suits as armor against a cold and scary world. The cactus is the conserver of water, and water means life. To Simone, the Cactus Friends represent life: Fragile and strong at the same time, yet pure like water. For more tokidoki characters and stories, check out www.tokidoki.it

Okay anyway...This cute Italian boy created the characters and here he is using the "perfetto eyeliner" ($16 each) to draw them on himself.

Each color comes along with a character and is named after it. These are just a few (well more than a few) of them. By the way, these are all the Cromatico ($15) shadow colors.

Cromatico Shadow Sets $25

Mascara $18 & Eyeliner Pencil $15

Bronzer $22 Luminizer $22 Brush $28

Lip Gloss & Lip Stain $15

Tank $29.50

Key Chain $16

There's probably a lot of other shit you can find, but I think you get the point. ha ha! For more info go to www.sephora.com

New Fashion Websites For You

Searching around on the web led me to a couple of sites that have great clothes and really good prices. The first is Need Supply Co. from Virginia. The clothing and prices are along the lines of Urban Outfitters and Mod Cloth. What I like is that it's a little less "bohemian" and a little more fashionable rather than too "cutesy". They also carry mens' clothing! Woo!!!!! So here are a few things I picked off the site that I really liked....

The second site I want to share with you is Nasty Gal (I love this website!), it's a little 80's & kinda mod and offers both new and vintage items. Like Need Supply, Nasty Gal carries Jeffrey Campbell shoes (my new and latest love). Here is a bit of what I chose from the site.

Happy shopping girls!!! xoxo

Heels and WHAT?!

The 80's have come and gone and so has it's fashion. Lately though we have seen younger generations picking through fashions worst decade and bringing pieces home from the mall. I personally loved the 80's for it's music and movies, but style wise, I'm quite finished with all of it. Okay, okay... not ALL of it. Which leads me into the topic at hand. Did you EVER think that you would wear socks with heels ever again (outside of a Halloween party)??? During the Spring/Summer 2010 runway shows, ankle socks with heels (sandals) were all over the place. I'm telling you this because I bought my first pair of "heel socks" and I wanna say, they're super effing cute! I don't think of it as a revisit to the 80's, I like to think of it more along the lines of "50's European summer".

If you are a fashion forward gal and willing to try this out, here are a few guidelines. Make sure that the socks are thin, and hit just a couple of inches above the ankle (or if you want to wear a pair to the knee, but NOT over it), and really, stay away from all the ruffle and neon colors. Try to keep to neutral colors or white and black. Your best bet is wearing black with black heels, then it comes off looking more like cute little booties. I posted some of what was on the runway for visual guidelines.
