Katy Perry’s Best Look Yet
[pic cred: people]
Pink highlights or honey blonde, this look works for Katy Perry! I love that she has since toned it down in her hair, makeup and outfits at appearances. Less is most definitely more in this case. This lovely bob is such a great look for her that for a second I debated getting the same hair style. What do you guys think? Do you prefer this simple look or her outlandish ways?

Mini Karl Lagerfeld for Sephora’s New Beauty Line
I’m not the most skilled when it comes to makeup, but I’ve got my favorites. I’ve got a wide range of products such as my Covergirl lash blast mascara found at the drugstore to my Chanel compact purchased at department stores. Oh yeah – I also like my freebies too – you know the little samples you get when you purchase a “gift.” Just kidding – that totally just ruined the definition of free, but you know what I mean. Karl Lagerfeld will be collaborating with Sephora to release his new line of beauty products out next week yesterday and Fashionista had the first look! How adorable is this eyeshadow palette in the shape of Karl’s silhouette?
I’d also like to own this Karl Lagerfeld doll that has no beauty product power whatsoever.

Wait – Ginger Lime – as in the restaurant across the street from Seattle University? Needs me a pile of poo soaps out of the unicorns now.
Chelsea Settles
I’ve got a love/hate relationship with MTV. I sometimes become irritated with MTV for their Jersey Shore and tacky relationship series, but other times I find myself drawn into series that I should be caring about. They’re the type of series that are relevant to our culture and our generation and stand for something more than just partying and sloring yourself around. I was flipping through channels the other night while doing some work when I came across a new series that was premiering that night. I had heard about the Chelsea Settles pilot a couple months back, but was a little skeptical as to whether or not I would actually watch it when it premiered – which is usually how I feel about most MTV series.
Chelsea Settles is a 23-year old woman from Pittsburgh who dreams of moving to LA to pursue her dreams of working in the fashion industry. However, there are a few things standing in her way preventing her from making the move. Her mother is a diabetic and Chelsea is the primary person that takes care of her. In addition to wanting to be closer to her mother, Chelsea is also in a long distance relationship with her serious boyfriend who believes that they may not last if she makes the big move. Chelsea Settles is a beautiful young woman with an even bigger heart, but like the rest of us she, too, struggles with everyday problems of being self-conscious, insecure, and overweight. The first episode was just a roller coaster of events, but I’m very much looking forward to learning more about her as she discovers her strength, her identity, and the pursuit of her dreams.
The show airs on MTV at 11PM on Tuesdays.
Fashion Designers in da House!
Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos of Shipley & Halmos will be making their return to the Northwest next Saturday to meet their fans and to draw them quick portraits! Sam is a huge fan of sketching and even launched the blawg “Numerous Drawings” to showcase some of his work. Here is his most recent one:
Check out the rest here.
On another fun note, Diane von Furstenberg will also be in town this Wednesday at Bellevue’s Nordstrom from 2-4PM to promote her new fragrance. In order to meet the designer, you have to buy a bottle of it. No buy no meet. But c’mon it’s Diane von Furstenberg! Just do it.
Kim Kardashian is giving one lucky winner a fairytale wedding
Have you always wanted your special day to be a glamorous affair? Dream of having a wedding as lavish as Kim Kardashian’s? Well, the reality star is giving one lucky winner the chance to have their fairytale wedding.
“Vera Wang, Giuseppi Zanotti, Judith Leiber, Williams-Sonoma and my Glam Squad have all come on board to help me give one couple the most amazing wedding package. The winning bride-to-be will receive a stunning dress from the White by Vera Wang for David’s Bridal collection, inspired by my own wedding dress, a pair of gorgeous heels from Giuseppi Zanotti, an EXCLUSIVE monogrammed Judith Leiber bag, a Williams-Sonoma Dream Kitchen and a makeover from my Glam Squad. Not only that, but all the bridesmaids (up to 4) will receive their own dresses from the White by Vera Wang for David’s Bridal collection, the bride and her bridesmaids will get a special fitting at a David’s Bridal store in LA and the winner will get $500 from Celebuzz towards travel and accommodation. The fitting and makeover will be in LA.”
This wedding package sounds incredible! As much as I love giveaways, I think a part of me will always want to design my wedding myself and have the opportunity to make all of the choices myself instead of having things laid out. Don’t let my own opinions stop you though because this seriously would be a wonderful prize to win. Weddings are so expensive! Learn more information on how to enter here.
